callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Linux@programming.dev•Comparison of video game performance of Windows 11 vs SteamOS/Linux on the Lenovo Legion Go S22·3 days agoThought I’d read bazzite was forked from something no longer updating and they were possibly going to end it?
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Linux@programming.dev•Comparison of video game performance of Windows 11 vs SteamOS/Linux on the Lenovo Legion Go S51·3 days agoI’d long been mulling over what distro to switch my family computer to soon. But after years with Steam Deck and digging through so many suggestions for months, I really think I’m just going with SteamOS. Good enough.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Movie/Film Ideas you swear they could make you a million bucks richer2·3 days agoHollywood truly is out of ideas and just outsourcing.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition'English513·3 days agoWait for something fucking idiotic like:
“U.S. government to implement 5,000% tax on new solar technology…”
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it just me, or does crime documentaries have a biased "pro-cop" vibe to it?10·3 days agoYou’re being disingenuous. I think what OP is getting at might be both that cops are never in the wrong, and that the guilty is always clear.
At this point, I’m tired of glorification of police. They get it wrong. A fucking lot.
There’s a good reason Brooklyn 99 ended. At least that had the balls to do it.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Our parents promised us we would feel like fools for thinking we were smarter than them as kids. When exactly does that start?54·4 days agoMy narcissistic, selfish, and abusive parents abused things like “because I said so,” “you’ll understand when you’re older,” and “you’ll understand when you have kids” among other things.
I now understand. They were shitheads that never wanted to actually explain things or be held accountable for their fucking abuse. I understand that it literally took EFFORT for them to be so goddamn angry and verbally/physically abusive to us, and it takes a serious level of hate to sprinkle in the emotional neglect and somehow be okay with treating your child like that.
I can’t fathom doing half the shit they did.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•FEMA didn't answer thousands of calls from flood survivors, documents show402·4 days agoThat’s what they wanted. Small government. Bootstrap. All that. Feds have been widely lambasted, shit on, gutted for resources, and now those left operate in a constant state of fear and worry just trying to do a decent job for this so-called society.
Get fucked.
Edit: see the comment below pointing out precisely what I’m getting at. This county asked for it and its unsurprising.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Sanders Says Billionaire Effort to Crush Mamdani Rooted in Fears of Nationwide Progressive Wave2·5 days agoIt never was by the people or for the people.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which hobby is considered a cult or has cult-like tendencies?2·5 days agoIf you spend more time to consider and think about the differences between spirituality and religion, you’d see what I’m getting at. There’s a blurring of lines sure, but a lot of these religious activities are not at all necessary for their beliefs, and merely a choice that fulfills them in a similar manner as other hobbies.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What big budget movie had absolutely no buisness getting made?91·5 days agoI dunno what counts as big budget, but 30 Minutes or Less was seen as tasteless in how it was based on a real-life serious event that had occurred.
On a false advertising note, the movie’s run time is 1 hour, 23 minutes. Bullshit.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Over 2,000 senior staff set to leave NASA under agency push11·6 days agoThey won’t. Establishment Dems want this as well. Repubs are doing it for them, and then any elected Dem then would likely be more of the watered down same, and they’ll quietly allow the status quo to continue.
Maybe they’ll stop the gutting. Maybe they’ll slim down some high profile things like ICE a bit. But largely they won’t ramp up hiring to return to any previous scale.
Also FYI, the last time the US Federal government lost employees on this scale was under Clinton in the 90s working bipartisan with a Repub congress.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Child dies after being left in hot car by mother who went to get lip filler: police1·6 days agoYou don’t levee children…
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Child dies after being left in hot car by mother who went to get lip filler: police1·6 days agoWhy didn’t they turn down the Sun first?
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which hobby is considered a cult or has cult-like tendencies?1·6 days agoKirby vaccuums maybe? More like a MLM back in the day.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which hobby is considered a cult or has cult-like tendencies?5·6 days agoFor a lot of people, when you look at how they spend their time, it is clear that their religion is both their belief system AND their hobby.
Think of the “Bible study” types. They’ve turned it into a hobby-like activity. Some I knew growing up clearly had nothing else. It was their hobby.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which hobby is considered a cult or has cult-like tendencies?125·6 days agoWarhammer. The tabletop one with the figures, not the video games.
Vacations/travel for some people. Its clearly something where they have zero clue about their privilege and zero self awareness as they talk about it.
Parenting. Seriously, it becomes some people’s only fucking identity and the way they talk about it feels like religious proselytizing mixed with a bit of used car salesperson energy.
Comic conventions. Some people make it uncomfortable how seriously they take it.
Wasting some time on Lemmy trying to leave shitty comments just looking to rile people up or something.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•US used car prices surge as tariffs drive market volatility1·8 days agoReminds me of everyone during the pandemic house frenzy telling us to sell our house, and talking about how seriously they were considering selling theirs, cause prices are up so much.
I kept asking… and then what? You have to live somewhere… how much will that cost?
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Kids are ditching traditional college for career tech programs. Parents are concerned.41·10 days agoAlso look into informational interviewing and maybe see if someone can connect you with a current job-holder. People are surprisingly nice and it may be feasible to get their time to get an understanding of their field and daily work life.
Absolutely follow the data and put in the effort to find out.
A PR for every tiny commit. You got it.
