politicians are not the government
Wh- what? Show me a wikipedia page for a government official that doesn’t have the word “politician” as part of their description.
people are the government
Maybe in an ideal democracy, but America (the country this comic is referring to by criticizing Reagan) is a republic
mm not quite, businessmen bribe donate to politicians so that they can be above the law and profit off citizens anyway they want to.
Although what you said is true for businesses that sell to the military. That would look more like a businessman shoveling money into the government’s mouth (aka bribing to get government contracts) and then eating the government’s shit
There should be a businessman shoveling money into the government’s mouth
Exactly, they could be hosting their releases on whichever site they use for remote git, but they don’t know how to use git
This question gets asked every year and every time it turns out to be an OPSEC mistake instead
Thanks for the perspective. I’m US born and raised, educated in public schools, so the only education I got about unions was the bad stuff. The only unions I know of in my area are electricians and plumbers, so I assumed it was a vocation-specific thing. Also lol @ your last sentence, I can totally imagine
I don’t mean tech companies, or the broad designation of “tech workers”, I’m specifically talking about software developers (and maybe QA). For example, a salesperson is not going to understand why engineers hate open office spaces and how it makes it extremely difficult for us to focus on our work.
I’m an American software engineer who has badly wanted my field to unionize. Do you think it will ever happen? I’m not hopeful because there are too many people who are just in the field for the lucrative salaries and have no real interest or passion. They’ll put up with anything if it means a six figure+ salary: Scrum micromanagement, open office spaces, incredibly unrealistic deadlines that were set without engineer input, vacation time hardly ever getting approved, etc.
Hard to know for sure without knowing what exactly it is you’re trying to run, but since you’re using an AMD processor, I would guess it’s NOT a firmware/driver issue. New Intel processors would be a different story.
Even today, not every application is programmed to use multiple cores effectively, or at all. Again, we need to know what application(s) you’re running when this happens
VMWare and archive dot org are your friend
Commentators lied to me. I shouldn’t be surprised
To clarify, the helmet comms are cut off after 15 seconds every play (i.e. after the first 15 seconds of the play clock have elapsed)
Drivers usually run in kernel space, where a crash can bring the whole system down. This is not exclusive to Windows
following industry standards

I can name one improvement: global scaling works SO much better in Wayland
But obviously if you don’t have a high DPI monitor, this won’t matter to you
Proms were around for ~50 years before we started seeing “promposals”, where guys would ask girls out with 3 minute-long choreographed dances in the middle of the quad for the whole school to see & record for social media. I’m not saying it’s stupid to put effort into asking someone, it can definitely be cute, but it can also be ultra cringe if you take it too far
I know Gnome is in your less important list, but Wayland is in your important list, so I’ll recommend KDE Neon. It’s Ubuntu without snaps and moronic auto updates, so it really just feels like a more desktop-ready Debian
Sort of, if you’re writing a research paper or presentation or something like that with a lot of math in it, you can use Latex (for the whole thing, not just the formulas). It’s 10000X better than writing the same stuff in Word, especially if you know how to code
Hardware decoding was my reason for upgrading
