I get that it’s good to be thorough but if dude was found guilty on 4 charges adding up to a minimum of 50 years, (2 counts 15 years, 2 counts 10 years) and the guy is 55 years old. Can’t the judge just say they can’t be served concurrently, and call it at some point. That puts him in prison to 105 years old, when the expected life span of an African American male is 72.

Well one of them sent an email with a picture in their signature out to all the staff letting them all know to update their signature to the official one. To which another reply-all’d asking how to do such, others thanking them for the signature. 774 reply all laters they got through the does mine look okay, please stop clicking reply all, why do I keep getting more of these, STOP SENDING THESE TO ME reply all messages that were sent out. That made up the first 5GB of emails and most of the first 2 days they were in office.

I still found that crazy. Bury your kids mother (your ex wife) on a golf course, extremely underwhelming grave for a “billionaire” and then somehow not have it mowed when you are hosting an international tournament. Like they had to mow the golf course, the landscaping company is clearly already being paid…

There was an old HP touchsmart that my partner had laying around. It’s terrible. Pentium Processor, standard HDD, with no dedicated graphics so running much of anything on it is out. No wireless AC, so it has to be a 2.4ghz network, and I don’t have a hardwire in the bedroom. So I just threw Mint on it installed RustDesk because I didn’t have a wireless mouse and keyboard or anywhere to put them if I had them. About a week into realizing it had some troubles playing larger movies (even mp4s from the machine no matter the player) I moved to 720. I couldn’t tell the difference between 720p and 1080p from across the room on a 22" screen anyways. Now all the streams work fine. Starting to realize the last time I bought a monitor was 2009. Anyways, 4K on my TV in the living looks great, but it really isn’t needed for standard enjoyment. Especially if I’m only half ass paying attention.

I’ll have to look into this, thanks for the suggestion. Been installing games with Lutris, then if they don’t work I try all the proton versions there, then try non-steam games and still run into some that I just give up on. Having a mounted ISO on games that ask for a disk on startup I haven’t figure out a way to get Lutris/Steam to recognize yet. Hopefully this will help.

I have found that games like The Sims, and Stardew Valley are the most consistent at working easily. Which is good, spouse enjoys those

Released for $4.60. below average game cost they said. This makes me wonder… What do games cost on release most places?

I seem to remember $40 PS2/Dreamcast era $50 PS3/360 era, $60 PS4/5/Xbox S/S era. And now people are saying $80 for next gen. Sorry I know I dropped a lot of consoles, but was that pretty standard everywhere?

Exactly, then you outlaw homelessness and deplete protection programs. This will ensure we can fill privately owned and operated prisons and use their labor to work the low paying jobs at a vastly lower pay.

Note from the article below. They claim “some of the most violent prisons” yet some of them are allowed to work 40 hours and some go home for the weekend to stay unsupervised. That doesn’t sound like a very dangerous person… In fact why are they holding them at all. Commute their sentence to probation at that point and let them get paid the actual wage. It would decrease our prison costs, while increasing taxes paid to the government and economic gains. We need to rework the prison systems to rehabilitation with much earlier releases if they are deemed safe to be working around the non incarcerated population. After all they are only supposed to be locked up because they are “a threat” to to the non incarcerated population.

And yes, that chart says the highest minimum wage is .35 cents and hour for incarcerated people. 5% of the federal minimum wage that is unlivable… meaning they can’t make anywhere near the money they need to save up for a roof and transportation to a job if they can find one when they get out. Throw in that many prisons charge inmates for being there… They have debt when they get out they need to pay off, so their credit will likely be shot.

No, right now if your parents aren’t citizens, and you are born here, you become a citizen. Say you come on a student visa, get pregnant your junior year and drop out of college to take care of your baby and try to figure out a life, the baby is a U.S. citizen. Very clearly as you can see that mother and child are a huge risk to national security. A person going to work and paying taxes while raising a kid and helping with the birthrate decline they supposedly care about is something we just can’t have.

So your saying you would support if they updated it to, everyone who is here as of Jan 1st, 2026 (or whenever it passed) is legally a citizen whether or not they were in the naturalization process, and only their decendents can get birthright citizenships. (And all future citizens who get naturalized by sponsorship)

I could be fine with that IF every workplace is mandated to sponsor every person they hire on a work visa. If they are caught hiding that they hired a worker the company is dissolved and the owners/executives get life in prison. All student Visa’s allowed a fast tract acceptance to a work visa while attending school or a period of forebearance while it processes if applied for within 90 days of leaving the educational institution.

Asylum applications need to be updated to NOT require the person to be on U.S. soil and made accessible online. If a person applies for asylum and any personal information down to just giving a name is leaked by any member of our government or institutions set to minotor/run those applications, the penalty is life in prison.

It’s just the title, it even says in the article he would move forward with trying to redefine the 14th amendment. Basically it’ll be if your parents are citizens, and your born here, you’ll be a citizen. (My best guess)

I agree that there really is no way for the layman to know. The states all vary as well. Meaning something like 10 states have partisan votes (party listed next to name in ballot). About 20 have non partisan, so they don’t list the party. Many have Yes/No retaining votes without listing a replacement, just decision to keep. Then some states have policies where the judge must be confirmed by the state Senate, and others approved by their state Congress. Beyond that, I don’t remember much, it is way to much for a person to keep up with and their should be independent bodies that evaluate performance/ judgements. I don’t know a perfect way to set it up though, as corruption is everywhere.

Yeah, maybe it varies by state but where I have lived you can register to vote at the library as well. The other place you run into is the DMV, but no one wants to go there unless it’s an emergency. Moving from Florida to Tennessee, I was shocked when it said you could make an appointment to get quicker wait times, I went to schedule an appointment for the following Monday, to which I found out there were no appointments available for just over 2.5 months. So everyone just shows up and waits, which I’m sure just makes less time for appointments, and thus keeping wait times rediculous during peak hours. (Which seem to be all hours they are open here).

Extended bitching about the DMV here. I once went to get a new license, they gave me a paper one and said it will ship to my house. 2 weeks later I called and they said it could take up to 90 days but usually only takes 2 weeks. 31 days in I went back to the DMV and told them grocery stores won’t take the paper ID after 30 days as they consider it expired, even though the expiration date says years down the line. (Kroger, Publix). Well I was running instacart orders after work to make a few extra dollars to pay off some things. Mid 30’s get denied buying groceries because they had a bottle of wine or something and obviously only pissing off people who order at that point. I asked the DMV if I could buy a normal ID while waiting for my license to arrive, nope. They stated if I get a State ID it would mark me as no longer having a valid driver’s license and they would have to start the possible 90 days over, and have to collect the State ID when they issue the paper license. Fucking pain in the arse.

Anyways, go to the library, or register online

So everything you are saying agrees with me. People are just upset that I said the OS was designed for handheld game consoles

From what I know about it, it has a modified kernal that is smaller cutting out support for a few things . Smaller kernal, standardly more efficient and stable. Throw in that it comes in a read only setup that will wipe changes added via pacman the next time you do an update. Customizability is also limited. Flatpacks better than snap many will argue, but snap won’t even run on SteamOS from what I’ve read even after manually dialing the read only mode and knowing you will have to reinstall all your changes after the next update.

That doesnt sound like regular arch to me.

A kid who went on the internet and clicked I’m 18+ and looked at porn doesn’t have a victim (outside of the perpetrator if one wants to argue that). I don’t know what the laws are in the U.K. but here (U.S.) identity fraud/theft is a federal crime. With a possible sentence up to 15 years.

With how it was, there was no incentive for a kid to take their parents/older friends ID when they weren’t looking, or share ID’s/information with their friends to access those sites. If a person gets notice that their information is being used on a site they weren’t using, the likelyhood of it being reported goes up.

Hopefully nothing would ever go as far as being reported as fraud/theft, but all it takes is one person who doesn’t like their kid hanging out with someone else.

So while they didn’t create any new offenses for kids, they created roadblocks that put kids in a situation that may make them break the law out of sheer curiosity.

Getting caught drinking a beer, or smoking cigarettes would be a godsend compared to getting charges brought up for something so stupid.

I don’t, I was saying it makes sense that bringing a steak knife to cut the steak would work better than a Swiss army knife.

Someone should be asking what the sentence will be for kids who commit identity fraud and use someone else’s ID to set up an account. It may flip the narrative to point out they are intentionally creating more criminal acts that will get kids in trouble with the law and possibly ruin lives.

So you are saying SteamOS is not designed/tuned to be used primarily for games on a system without a keyboard/mouse?
