Currently suffering through the pain of a programmer leaving a year ago and seemingly no one inherited his knowledge of the stuff he was working on for one of my projects. It was also the fault of other departments for delaying my work for even longer but they don’t care. It’s agony having to ask around the office for someone who might actually have the info I need.

Raid builds hurt financially up front but can save you from a lot of heartache later, even with larger disks.

I’m grateful for OPs who paste at least some of the relevant information into the post without having to click on the link. Personally it’s better to avoid going to the site since you’re bombarded with cookie notices, subscription solicitations, browser notification requests, and even ads of you’re not using uBlock.

We really need to have a compulsive voting law where the fine is like $1000 dollars. To make it easier though voters should get a federal holiday for elections, a choice of mail in voting, and be rewarded with $50 dollars for doing it. For all of you people who hate the idea of being compelled to vote, jury duty is mandatory but you get a small stipend for your time (at least in CA) and it’s necessary to keep a functioning government.

Now if only we can get rid of the electoral college and implement ranked choice voting…

That sounds an awful lot like modifying an ESP32 script I’ve been trying to follow from a YouTube tutorial published a while back. Research hasn’t uncovered anything for me to troubleshoot the issue so it’s a really shit experience.

I thought OneDrive was a Windows thing. What’s it doing on Linux?

I really hope there’s a way to disable the damn thing in Windows 10.

I’m American and I find it kind of creepy.

I don’t think it would be okay. Are you happy with almost all American media being controlled by a handful of mega corporations who are beholden to US hegemonic interests?

To play devil’s advocate here, I think it’s necessary for a social media platform to exist that’s outside the control of the US government. Just because we have the first amendment here that doesn’t mean our speech is protected, just look at what happens when protesters do it the “wrong” way.

Does that mean China gives a shit about our freedoms? No. They just won’t be forced into censoring things the US would want though, and the gap between their opposing hegemonic ambitions is where people can truly say what they want about the US in certain topics. While it’s true the CCP is data mining American citizens, their reach to compromise individuals is dwarfed by what US companies can do already.

Have you considered gog? They may not be betting heavily on Linux or have as a big of a selection but their games are DRM free. You can even install gog Galaxy, a game manager similar to Steam.
