Isn't it kinda weird that third parties only make an effort every 4 years?
  • Yeah, as long as we can get rid of lesser-of-two-evils voting, things would get a lot better.

  • If I recall correctly, that’s how the president of the government in The Songs of Distant Earth was chosen.

    Oh, wow, thank you for the warning. Won’t be watching that. I find went cancer. Cancer sucks!

    If we could have both of these, it would be American democracy—only better!

  • Yes it is, but it’s quoted text, so semantically it’s not the correct markup. And the syntax highlighting is random because the text isn’t actually code.

  • It’s nice this greed has a side effect of allowing more people to play.

  • Mattel is updating some of its most popular games to help the color blind
  • It said the move is a step in its "commitment to create more inclusive play experiences," "break down barriers to game play and help advance awareness of those affected by colorblindness."

    Translation: Sell to more customers.

    Firefox Focus complaints

    I have two complaints about Firefox Focus on iOS:

    First, when typing into the address bar, you must finish and tap “search” or “go” or else all you typed will go away if you switch to another app and back again. Firefox Focus shouldn’t forget what you’re doing unless you hit the garbage can icon or force close the app.

    Second, if you’re typing, and you tap anywhere I’ve marked in red in the screenshot, it erases the search/url text you’ve typed, and you have to start over. It didn’t used to do this when Firefox Focus first came out. It would be fine to put a garbage can icon somewhere in that area, but the area now that deletes what you’re typing is bigger than the keyboard, and I’ve mis-tapped there way too many times.

    Fresno homeowner starts fire trying to kill spider

    > “We get it, we don’t like spiders either, but it’s never a good idea to use a blow torch or any other flammable device for pest control,” firefighters said in a social media post.

    This label informs you it is easy to peal, and it was.

    I peeled it off, and there is no reside on the item, nor did was there any damage to the label.

    I had to stick it back down on each side to get the photo, but it pealed right back off in perfect condition again.

    If this can be done, why aren’t all labels like this?

    “We Don’t Mind” by Michael Franti & Spearhead

    We don't mind\ See we've been doin' it all the time\ But if you want us to you sacrifice\ You will not get it without a price\ We don't mind\ See we've been doin' it all the time\ But if you want us to you sacrifice\ You gotta give something back to life

    You think I'm vulnerable to your pressure tactics\ Because I shed a tear, 'cause I shed a tear\ You think I'm vulnerable to your violence\ Just 'cause I'm sittin' here\ But my babies came into this world\ Without a single fear, say they has no fear\ 'cause the seven generations before me\ They all fought to get us here

    You can't just come in here like that no more\ And snatch up our childhood\ You just can't walk on up\ And replace it yo, with your Hollywood\ But I see now\ How all of the words I say you'll take and misconstrue\ And I'm prepared now\ To suffer the penalties for speakin' the truth\ And I speak the truth when I say

    People if you hear me now I wantcha to say\ Naa, na-naa, na-naa, nah\ People if you hear me now I wantcha to say\ Naa, na-naa, na-naa, nah

    Sting • Russians • The Dream of the Blue Turtles • 1985

    In Europe and America There's a growing feeling of hysteria Conditioned to respond to all the threats In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets

    Mr. Khrushchev said, “We will bury you” I don't subscribe to this point of view It would be such an ignorant thing to do If the Russians love their children too

    How can I save my little boy From Oppenheimer's deadly toy? There is no monopoly in common sense On either side of the political fence

    We share the same biology Regardless of ideology Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too

    There is no historical precedent To put the words in the mouth of the President There's no such thing as a winnable war It's a lie we don't believe anymore

    Mr. Reagan says, “We will protect you” I don't subscribe to this point of view Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too

    We share the same biology Regardless of ideology What might save us, me and you Is if the Russians love their children too

    Can't paste URL for login

    When I copy the URL for an instance to paste it, it includes the protocol. But Voyager says it’s not a valid instance. Take off the https:// and it works fine. Seems like Voyager should handle this better.

    What do you think of posts that are only a link?

    Should all posts include a thought, opinion, or summary from the OP? Is a post title usually enough?

    If you appreciate posts that just a link to a video, news article, blog post, or website with no post text by the OP, why do you like them?

    Same SD card for SteamOS and Windows-To-Go?

    I used https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/pc-gaming/how-to-install-windows-on-steam-deck to set up Windows-To-Go for a few games that won't work in SteamOS. It seems to be working fine, but now I wonder if this would work…

    I currently have a 1 terabyte SD card that I'm using for SteamOS. I know Linux partitions can be shrunk, so I'd like to shrink it down to half the size. Then I'd clone the partition(s) from the Windows-To-Go SD card to the now-empty space on the 1 terabyte SD card.

    I think I''ll need to clone the Windows partition(s) to the beginning of the drive. So when I make the empty space by shrinking the Linux partition, I'll create the empty space at the beginning of the drive.

    I'll be using GParted and Clonezilla since I'm used to them.

    I have two questions:

    • Will Windows care that the second half of the SD card has a LInux partition? I don't want/need it to see or read/write to the Linux partition.
    • Will SteamOS still see the Linux partition automatically as if nothing's changed and just ignore the new Windows partition(s)?
