  • In particular, the companies purchase financial information from a data broker before offering a nurse a shift; if the nurse is carrying a lot of credit-card debt, especially if some of that is delinquent, the amount offered is reduced. “Because, the more desperate you are, the less you’ll accept to come into work and do that grunt work of caring for the sick, the elderly, and the dying.” That is horrific on many levels, he said, but “it is emblematic of ‘enshittification’”, which is one of the reasons he highlighted it.

    What the ACTUAL FUCK‽ This is the type of shit Neal Stephenson would put in a fucking cyberpunk dystopia novel. I am filled with so much fucking rage. My sister is a nurse and goes through so much fucking bullshit at her job already. Nurses really do not need more shit thrown at them.



  • For anyone else who doesn’t know what this is:


    This is my build of Proton with the most recent bleeding-edge Proton Experimental WINE.

    Things it contains that Valve’s Proton does not:

    • Additional media foundation patches for better video playback support
    • AMD FSR patches added directly to fullscreen hack that can be toggled with WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1
    • FSR Fake resolution patch details here
    • Nvidia CUDA support for PhysX and NVAPI
    • Raw input mouse support
    • ‘protonfixes’ system – this is an automated system that applies per-game fixes (such as winetricks, envvars, EAC workarounds, overrides, etc).
    • Various upstream WINE patches backported
    • Various wine-staging patches applied as they become needed







  • I’m the opposite. I find LC much more interesting, plus REPO’s camera inertia gives me terrible motion sickness, even when the animation speed is reduced and all the other settings are changed. I can’t even watch someone stream it, the inertia is so extreme.

    I think they’re fundamentally different games. The limited day length in LC gives a much more tense vibe, where repo is a bit more laid back and lets you really scour every level. LC also doesn’t have the upgrade system present in REPO, meaning doing well on the harder moons is entirely skill based. I prefer skill over upgrades, but I know others don’t. I’ve heard from people who are really into REPO that past level 6 or 8, the difficulty doesn’t really increase, and getting too many strength upgrades can trivialize the game.

    They both have their merits. You find REPO to be more enjoyable which is totally fair and valid.




  • imo, hardware raid is irrelevant for most small-scale use-cases and can be a liability for homelabbers. In a professional context, I’ve had a raid card shit itself causing temporary data loss and downtime because my idiot bosses didn’t buy a spare card back when they set up their system. If you’re doing hardware RAID, you must buy two cards, and they MUST be on the same firmware version. Software RAID is basically just as fast, is far more flexible, has one less SPOF, and is cheaper (a cheap HBA being all you need hardware-wise). About the only other thing some RAID cards have is a battery backup unit to get around write hole issues, but good filesystems can help with that too.

    Hardware RAID isn’t necessarily obsolete, but I’d say it’s like mainframes—the applications for it are highly specialized.
