I believe the FairPhone is pretty solid.

Not as good, but Apple stuff is a big step up from Google and Samsung stuff wrt spying.

Yeah, I recall a Ramsey poll where the fourth highest profession for millionaires is teaching.

Learning from others and following a plan is how one becomes a millionaire. Teachers have those critical skills down.

Depends on what the deployment is, if it is just airstrikes or even limited ground operations to break a few things and leave, no reason for it to be a forever war.

Note: I have made zero statements about that being something I would support.

from a, a coworker and b, a manager

A coworker and a manager at your company gave you advice about your job?

If that is the case, you should take it seriously. Make sure you know why they think their suggestion is better than what you are doing. You don’t know everything, there is a darn good chance they are trying to make you better at your job.

If it isn’t about your job, you should still make sure you know why they think their suggestion is better than what you are doing. Other people do know things you don’t.

I normally just cut it in half and scoop out the insides. Peeling one of those is a PITA.

No penny pincher is still buying food at McDonald’s. That place is expensive as fuck.

Exactly, they will use nickles. It’s a non-problem.

With the SteamDeck as the dominate PC gaming handheld and XBOX in a dire state right now, these will almost certainly do much better than the last attempt.

Heroic with GOG works great on Linux. Why wait?

All the people wondering why they don’t support Linux

The Heroic launcher works great on Linux, and manages GOG, Epic, and Amazon games.

Option 1: When you go to their website for the flathub link, it takes you to a download for a .flatpakref file. Dowload that and run it. It will open the Software Manager to the gopher64 entry. If it isn’t opening with the software manager for some reason, tell it to open .flatpakref files with the Software Manager.

Option 2: Search for gopher64 in the Software Manager.

Gotta wonder what just parking all these gas guzzlers on the south side of the Equator is costing us.

This is a really weird criticism in an article about a nuclear-powered carrier.

Germany just requires that all games have an age rating

Germany straight up bans many video games. Here is a partial list. This game has much more obvious blood than many already banned in Germany. This is the chilling effect in action, it keeps many works, even those not explicitly banned, out of the market.

I would guess the blood. Germany has some really weird censorship laws.

I can confirm M.2 to PCIe adapters work for booting Windows. Had both my Linux drive and Windows drive each in a separate one when I used to dual boot. Then I would swap out which adapter was in the computer to switch OS.

I haven’t plugged the Windows one in in a loooong time, but wanted to mention the option since it would do what you want.

Yeah, Steam in-home-streaming is great and is something I have used on many an occasion.

Game streaming over the internet is simply miserable.

Customers have roundly rejected game streaming. If streaming is the only way to play a game, that game will see a colossal hit in sales. This won’t be acceptable to companies trying to make money.

Pedant thought: The thumbnail shows one biting everywhere but the bullet.

I’m a big fan of the Keep It Simple (KISS) approach, and went with Password Safe. Works on Linux, Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android. It’s big thing is it just makes an encrypted password file which then you can sync between devices however you like (Box, Dropbox, etc)

Which one works on all browsers including mobile safari and mobile Firefox?

It has an auto-type and copy feature, so no need for browser support. Though, the main criticism of this offering is if you want a ton of features and don’t care about KISS.

Protip for the room: Use a password manager with a unique password for every service. Then when one leaks, it only affects that singular service, not large swaths of your digital life.
