It's really funny because Cory always champions POSSE. Post (on)own site, share everywhere.

And it's funny because he mostly does that.

Alpha like alpha software. Not ready for prime time redbull seats.

Another way to encourage interoperability is to use the government to hold out a carrot in addition to the stick. Through government procurement laws, governments could require any company providing a product or service to the government to not interfere with interoperability. President Lincoln required standard tooling for bullets and rifles during the Civil War, so there’s a long history of requiring this already. If companies don’t want to play nice, they’ll lose out on some lucrative contracts, “but no one forces a tech company to do business with the federal government.”

That's actually a very interesting idea. This benefits the govt as much as anyone else too. It reduces switching costs for govt tech.

I've heard someone call it billionaire brain rot. I think at some point you end up with so much money and not enough people telling you no, that it literally changes your brain.

Seems likely.

I feel like you all are misplaying your hands. Find contractors that work for the govt.

They can bill the govt much higher rates because you have a PhD. They don't have to pay you the extra. You could literally tell them that. Pay me at a junior rate and keep the difference until I prove I'm worth more.

You'd be straight revenue/profit for them. and it gets your foot in the door and you start getting actual experience.

It probably means he's on blood thinners. You'll bleed like you cut an artery even with a tiny nick.

So he probably had a tiny cut that just bleed a lot because of blood thinners.

This reminds me of the south park sting episode where the cop is just blowing dudes (dressed up like a hooker) and yelling "busted!"

This guy's is just reading whatever smut he can find then yelling "busted"

Lmfao

“I guess I would have to say yes in the spirit of forgiveness, reluctantly. But if I had to be a smartass, I’d say her apology holds about as much water as my canvas bag.”

Lol

The implication, well one of many, is that the President is the one charging Trump with these crimes. He's being charged for state crimes, by the various states AGs, in accordance to their laws. He's also being sued civilly by people he's defrauded, sexually assaulted, or defamed.

The current president and current administration has had no input in any of this.

The federal cases he has stem from his "mishandling" of classified documents after he was out of office. This case is being handled by a special prosecutor who is insulated from the executive and bound by laws, procedure, legal ethics, etc to act independently from the administration.

So, at the end of the day it's just more absolute horse shit from Trump and more evidence he should never be on the ballot.

The real "game" here is that they are trying to downplay the seriousness of impeachment. Because their orange clown was impeached twice.

So they'll "impeach" anyone they think they can get away with to score points with their ignorant base and to make it seems less serious.

It's really shitty and un-American.

This honestly feels like a Russian intelligence op. Not that these yokels are Russian spies, but that they've been duped by misinformation, spun up my Russian troll farms, and aimed at the southwest border.

They are dumb enough to do the rest on their own.

I only use Windows at work (because I have to). The thing that drives me fucking nuts, as an advanced computer user in general, is how God damned unintuitive the Office,OneDrive, and File explorer integration is.

I have no idea where I am saving stuff half the time(or more accurately have to change it each time because the defaults are dumb). I don't want it in my OneDrive downloads folder or OneDrive documents folder. I want it in my fucking laptop download folder or local documents folder.

Then Teams is saving stuff in SharePoint in the background, permissions are annoying AF. At least they'll flag that a recipient of an email attachment or imbedded url doesn't have access. So that's nice I guess.

Oh, then sometimes I'm prompted to save a copy of a shared document, but that's different from "download a copy". If you save a copy it just makes a new shared copy for everyone in the SharePoint site.

I feel like a boomer when I work with MS now. Maybe it's all enterprise settings for where I work and maybe it's not MS's fault but hot damn I am so much less productive than if I just used Gsuite, only office, on Mac or .

Maybe I just need to spend a week taking training classes on these products. But who tf has time for that when you have your actual job to do. So I guess that really sums up Microsoft for me: it's in the way and slowing me down.

Apex has been running smooth as butter (well, as smooth as apex can run :) ) for the last year or so on my PopOS machine. I haven't had to log into windows to game in about 18 months.

I noticed a few months ago that I would get errors / crashes, seeimingly randomly where 'pak' files wouldn't load. I'd get a wine-looking pop up with the message. I could fix it by Validating Game Files. Inevitably it would find corrupt or invalid files and redownload them and it would work again.

Something happened about ~4 weeks ago where it became much more frequent to the point where its now unplayable on PopOS.

I've done everything I can think of:

  • completely removed steam and all my games from my system and retried with the deb package in the store. (no luck)

  • completely removed that and my games and tried with the flatpak (same issues)

  • I even, thinking my ssd might be failing, bought a new one, cloned my stuff over to that, etc (no luck, same issues).

  • I just uninstalled the game again and am trying to redownload as I am typing this and it gets to the end, fails (corrupt update files), then puts me in a loop of validating, downloading, pausing download, etc.

All of my other games seem to work fine and update fine.

Apex works on my steamdeck. Apex works fine on this same machine on Windows 10.

I used inotify-tools to see if something was editing the files in between gaming sessions when it worked and when it didn't and nothing seems to be accessing let alone updating/writing to those files. So the corruption or whatever happens during use.

I have tried Proton experimental and literally every version back until it wouldn't even make sense to run. I tried the last 5 or so ProtonGE versions as well.

The thing is: Is this a Pop issue? Is it an Apex issues? Is it a proton issue? Is it a steam issue?

I don't even know where to post this 'issue' too.

For what its worth, I am happy to try and run this down and provide whatever logs may help. I could learn some auditd!

HALP!
