Sidekick is still one of the G.O.A.T.

Literally on the heels of the revelation that China is spying on all chats and phone calls, these clowns still think back doors are safe in any way.

I swear, humanity is simply failing the IQ test here.

The Mass Effect Trilogy. By the time I was fighting in London I wondered where this game had been all my life.

Stop ordering the fries and a drink. Shit’s bad enough already. Dinner’s $5 and I bring a drink with me.

Consumerism is killing us and corporations will not self-correct until you hit them on the nose with a curled up newspaper.

I’ve experienced the same thing on a beefy Synology NAS when watching in my own home network. Methinks Plex needs some work.

Absorbing all that good will and sending it right back out to others. We’re about to see if the American people still want their freedoms.

Look y’all. North Korea and Russian recently signed a mutual defense pact. There’s a clear reason why NK troops are only being deployed in Kursk, which is so it looks legitimate. NK is protecting Russia’s borders.

All any country has to do is sign a mutual defense pact with Ukraine and pile on. That’s all he’s saying. I mean, I’m shocked Poland hasn’t already signed on… they’re spoiling for a fight.

Because they were mostly dead lmao

Nope, get it on every version of Windows 11 that I work with. You’re supposed to use your mouse to slide it down on those. Crazy, huh?

Hilariously accurate, especially in modern Window’s systems. Like, you press it and it covers your screen with a ‘slide this to shut down’, which if we could do that, we probably wouldn’t be using the button.

Instead of a 5 second press and done it’s become more like a 20 second struggle to tell the PC you really mean it!

That’s… not really accurate. All the stuff with the Krogan and Rachni happened centuries prior to humanity making contact. What the story does hint is that humans are not the only ones with racist tendencies. (After rereading, this may have been what you were trying to say)

Humanity butts up against Batarian space and, due to their own conflicts with the galactic political paradigm, that race had shifted to a more hostile system of governance that freely allowed slavery and piracy and the like because everyone else was inferior.

Naturally, we hate them because they hate us.

Yeah now add Dynamics to all that and you get my day. Eyeroll

As he mentioned, the OS is Linux specifically. Just this week they literally removed support for Linux on Battlefield 1 and there was a helpful message as to why when you tried to play the game that had previously worked fine.

It all depends on the dosage. Remember, suppressing the immune system means that you are reducing inflammation, which in aging is a huge component.

As the dosing regimen hasn’t been nailed down, you can absolutely overdo this and cause problems, but currently a low to medium dose only once a week, not once a day, is the regimen.

I’d say the best answer to this conservative is that it’s like open carrying a handgun. Just because someone is carrying a handgun doesn’t make them the bad guy, so you leave them alone.

But if they draw that weapon and threaten someone, you call the cops.

…or another good guy with a gun?

This was my recent problem in Texas. Was also throwing the breaker on the reg.

Most of hacking is done by mass effort with maybe a couple percent of people that aren’t doing basic things to protect themselves being affected. That couple of percent is enough to keep the hackers flush. (So please, follow basic cybersecurity steps, people.)

The plain truth of the matter, though, is that if a hacker or group of hackers is targeting someone individually for reasons, that person is in real trouble.

This has been a PSA for everyone chasing fame and clout.

A couple of years ago I had a conversation with a Haitian native on this very topic. While I deleted my reddit account and no longer have access to that conversation, the gist was…

Americans don’t seem to understand that every time they swoop in to ‘save’ Haiti, what they are really doing is enforcing the same colonial ideals that landed Haiti in the mess to start with.

There’s no politician in play down there that isn’t on the take. His opinion was just to leave it alone and let the gangs sort it out. Either they’ll pull together a government or the last gang standing will.

His statement had a lot more anger and quite a few expletives… They’re just sick of all of us, y’all.

Agreed 100%, but to be fair I knew which way the wind was blowing with this game back before release when they made that horrible yaw change to keep pvp ‘engaging’.

The whole legs thing would have been a nice to have, though. Not being able to just stand up out of my chair was immersion breaking. Once upon a time I jumped through a whole lotta hoops to get it working with my VR headset and NGL, I cried when I drove my rover on Mars. It was that gorgeous. What struck me most was physically looking over my shoulder and seeing the tires of it kicking up dirt and leaving that telltale track on a world where nobody had ever been.

Then I realized I could never leave a bootprint. I think the worst punch to the gut with the space legs thing was not being able to do VR with it afterward. Like…wtf, there’s just a very clear disconnect between what direction the ED devs took the game versus what the players wanted.
