Joe Biden To Sit Down With ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos For First Post-Debate TV Interview
  • Better shoot this at 9am so Joe's sundowning ass doesn't fall asleep on TV again

  • “May have just legalized murder by one individual”: Experts alarmed at “stunning” SCOTUS ruling
  • The bar doesn't exist anymore, that's what this ruling is all about.

  • Supreme Court weakens federal regulators with Chevron overturning, threatening net neutrality, right to repair, big tech regulation, and more
  • This is a deeply unpopular take but it's the correct one. I caucusef for Bernie in both 2016 and 2020 and the amount of Hilary/Biden supporters to Bernie supporters in both respective years was dishearteningly high.

    The only people who show up for primaries and caucuses are predominantly white, Christian heterosexuals of retirement age.

    They're absolutely fucking terrified of anything remotely approaching progressive policy and they'll never, ever let us run anyone who doesn't make them feel safe with all their old white money.

  • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
  • Yep! I'm on Nvidia, the new drivers are really solid. I've read AMD cards run fine as well, but don't use one

  • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
  • I'm gonna start sounding like a shill, but check out Nobara. Painless install, steam games just work out of the box.

  • Same. They've always done this shit, but installing windows - and then uninstalling or disabling all the cooked-in bloat and spyware - has become so ridiculously tiresome that I just said fuck it and went Linux full-time.

    Every update or service pack, it starts all over. There's no such thing as a clean windows install.

    Nobara was up and running in like ten minutes with no fuckery at all, and it's no nice not having to fight my OS on everything.

  • Microsoft has blocked the bypass that allowed you to create a local account during Windows 11 setup by typing in a blocked email address
  • Nvidia drivers actually come pre-baked with the installer. When you download the iso, just make sure you get the Nvidia one. It'll install the most recent drivers for you as part of the install.

    I'm running a 4060ti on mine (it was free, I know they're silly cards) with zero issues.

  • Customer service
  • "The line must go up, fuck everyone" is a perfectly succinct description of capitalism, thank you for that.

  • Saw a nazi today
  • Wait what the fuck I wear Hawaiian print shirts all the time, have I been looking like a fascist and not known it?

  • Donald Trump shares stage with rightwing activist who's discussing stoning gay people to death
  • Are you trying to make a serious argument that the Pharisees were progressives?

  • Trying Linux after using Windows for decades
  • Seconded, runs like butter Bazzite sounds good too but I don't like the idea of an immutable distro so until/unless nobara becomes broken I'm sticking with it.

  • Joe Biden suddenly leads convicted felon Donald Trump in multiple battleground states
  • It works on multiple levels, too. Thelonius Monk's style was all about embracing dissonance, and Trump is a walking, breathing, dissonance machine. Monk's dissonance was sonic, and Trump's is cognitive, but it still works.

    *Edit: it works with album titles too! "Felonious Trump: Alone in Manhattan" is fucking hilarious.

  • Microsoft has blocked the bypass that allowed you to create a local account during Windows 11 setup by typing in a blocked email address
  • Nobara is pretty close. Glorious Eggroll's distro, comes with proton pre-installed so it can run steam games out of the box. Worth a shot, I love it

  • Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare
  • Nvidia just requires a driver install on most distros, and the newer drivers for Linux run rather well. All but one of my games runs better on Linux than on Windows (MK1 has slowdown issues on cinematics)

  • Windows 11's new AI feature makes it way too easy to steal everything you viewed or typed
  • It's a lot easier than it used to be. I moved to Nobara (gaming-centric fedora distro that does all the install work for you) maybe two months ago and haven't been back.

    While a few things have required some tweaking, almost everything runs fine out the box and I've only had to use the console to troubleshoot one issue so far.

    Throw a couple distros on a thumb drive and give one a try

  • Valve confirms your Steam account cannot be transferred to anyone after you die | Your Steam games will go to the grave with you
  • But I was already planning on leaving mine to my son.

    Guess he just gets my username and password.

    Note to self, turn off 2fa before I die

  • Explosive police report reveals how Moms for Liberty co-founder arranged bisexual threesomes
  • Straight guy in an open marriage here. Have never engaged in sex with another man, have had plenty of mfm threesomes. Two men fucking the same woman at the same time are not fucking each other.

    The transitive property does not apply to intercourse.

  • Eye of Gila variant. What y'all get?

    I can see what they were going for with it, but some more color would have been dope. The sound is phenomenal though... The drums especially really stand out on it. Great master.

    Hype train, engage!

    Any other vinyl collectors out there getting their shipping confirms yet? What variants did y'all grab? Can't wait to hear how full Motor Spirit sounds on this.

    Something about riding in the woods is just magic. Any other adventure bike/gravel riders here? Let's see some of your favorite spots to ride

    This is Steely Fran and she's my favorite. 2019 Salsa Vaya on 29" tubeless tires. This is my year-round ride but spring and summer are my favorite time to ride by far.
