And I lose respect for those people as soon as they saw the hundreds of tons of food taken from USAID, and burned instead of sending it to help Americans; and continued to say “It on our side”.

I’ve always hated this “Well, you can’t argue with the results” metric. The calculation I get from Trump’s victory is that you could have any number of scandals plaguing a candidate, and as long as they’re ultra-racist and churn out the same brain-dead ultra-nationalist talking points we’d been warning about since the classic “Don’t Be a Sucker” PSA, central America will vote en masse for them.

It says far more about THEM than it does about that THING as an orator. It pains me to admit truth to the articles claiming “This was not a pure mistake. This is always who America has been.”

If you <INSERT LITERALLY ANYTHING INTO THIS BLOCK>, they’ll just double down.

At least if I mock them for being blindingly stupid racist bigots, it satisfies me as they double down.

My mouse escaped the window, so I changed the launch options:

gamescope --force-grab-cursor -w (monitorwidth) -h (monitorheight) %command%

I kinda wish gamescope had a good option to skip that w,h, but no one’s told me about one yet.

As someone who tries to limit their own meat intake, I’d be all for an increased social trend of eating venison or kangaroo, especially if regional hunters can get them into supply chains going elsewhere. It’s not a practice that could go on for decades, but we could fulfill a need to limit populations, give people a chance for sport outdoors, while also providing a source of meat that’s not horrifically industrialized.

Never forget Top Gear’s episode racing through the center of London. Results as follows:

1. Bicycle
2. Boat
3. Tube (public transit)
4. Car

It wasn’t even really close.

Mobility issues are the first dog whistle of car pros, and the first point to be dissected entirely.

Handicapped people have tools they use to navigate an office floor, and they use those same tools to cross from their apartment to the corner store. Building pedestrian-friendly cities and encouraging low-speed transport like bikes and trams helps them too.

Many handicap users also can’t drive cars, meaning public transit options suited to their common routes are a godsend. Advocates of bikes often encourage having that whole setup, so people can pick between walking, biking, or trains as needed.

Though I had a negative experience on my last go of it, and a “root”-based filesystem still confuses me, this was one of the big solid advantages last time I checked a few distros. I followed some advice of putting the system-level directories on one partition, and my user content on a different one. When I got fed up with one distribution, I cleaned and reinstalled things onto the system-level partition, leaving the user directory alone; I just had to inform it where those directory mappings would go.

Even though I was aware of it, this was one of my challenges. I was using Bazzite, which is obviously so niche that few tutorials would be specific. So, I tried to understand which distro was the base layer for it, and based my searches around that. Even then, a lot of things felt inapplicable, or needed to go through its containerized compatibility structure.

So, numerically, I couldn’t figure this out easily to an exact integer. BUT, it’s very easy to figure out when taken to extreme integers.

I’d term this something like a “morality margin of error”. We should all struggle with questions like the trolley problem, weighing one life against five, debating the complicity of the action, etc. There shouldn’t be any easy shortcut answers to deciding the validity of life. But if there were TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE on the track that the trolley is headed down, and only one on the other, then those morality questions absolutely should get much easier.

thanks, your objective experiences are wrong too

Aren’t most seasonal content updates in other games free? The way I tend to see it is, they put out new gameplay content to attract attention, then entice people to pick up related cosmetic/extra items during the event.

Fun fact, the Steam Deck discord has subcommunities designed for indie developers to group with Deck-owning volunteers; since not all indie devs own a Steam Deck, they can take a look at preview builds and inform the devs about any particular issues.

Linux’s main selling point has become “It’s not Windows”. That was a boring line five years ago, but Microsoft has eagerly been trying to invent new ways to make their flagship OS worse and worse.

Lawyers, once they take off the suit and go home to their kids, are end users, not businesses. It would simply be easier for someone to initiate the lawsuit if they have a background in law.

They also should “know” that being forceful about backup prompts, AI features, and major version upgrades will irritate users into switching off their OS, and yet they’re doing it anyway. Logic is not driving their actions; greed for data is.

When they’re specifically writing business plans designed for hospitals, sure, they can likely account for it. But not when designing end user services that are laissez-faire about user data privacy - on the random things people put in “My Documents”. As with many organizations, it’s very possible the two parts of the corporation don’t talk to each other.

We’re not talking about work computers. We’re talking about patients - end users who have downloaded documents from their doctor.

These people should not be blamed for using defaults, or for insecure actions happening from their inaction.

I said home computers multiple times and you again replied about work environments. You need to start paying attention.

HIPAA applies to whichever entity consciously chooses to move/store data.

Generally, after a patient downloads a healthcare-related item, they are that entity - and as the patient, they have full control/decisions about where it goes, so they can’t violate their own HIPAA agreement even if they print it and scatter it to the wind.

BUT, if your operating system “decides” to upload that document without the user’s involvement, then Microsoft is that entity - and having not received conscious permission from the patient, would be in violation. It’s an entirely different circumstance if the user is always going through clear prompts, but their more recent OneDrive Backup goal has been extremely forceful and easy to accidentally turn on - even to the point of being hard to disable. As you said, encryption has nothing to do with it.

It is feasible to CHOOSE to use OneDrive and take all the proper precautions. We’re talking about home users getting OneDrive data uploaded without their consent through their “push assumed default”, and “giant popup, tiny cancel” setups.

The article you link only says it’s okay when using a OneDrive business plan together with a signed agreement.
