No one's ever going to do that again. Trump has guaranteed a new era of nuclear proliferation.

Y'all willing to give us a couple hand me down super carriers?

The rest of the world will pick up the torch, it's just going to be a long time before we can replace the US due to how large and how stable it's been in the past. No one really expects an ally to flip the table, of a game they're winning at, for the lulz.

Current platforms like Lemmy are NOT ready for massive amounts of users. They have very poor moderation controls, no effective strategy to combat bots, and no money to pay people for it.

The only reason Lemmy is usable right now is because it has nerdy people using it in good faith. If it were to gain critical mass it would collapse under the deluge of trolls and bots.

It's a quaint little place, and I like it for being that.

I already have him flagged as a troll, so you can just ignore him.

Thank you, I did a quick google but all I was seeing was articles explaining difference between an LED and a laser, none were saying you could use LEDs to make a laser.

What's an LED laser?

I just like knowing I could fly a Canadian flag again, or have it's likeness displayed without being confused for a trucker convoy supporter, vaccine denier, or racist.

He can if the GOP decides to do nothing, and it seems that the game plan. They're all in on downplaying his actions and not ruffling any feathers because to speak out is to be cast out. If they play along, they might just get to keep some power when this is all over.

They've always been scum, but this is a new low. Dried scum crusted onto the bottom of wherever scum normally resides.

Divinity Original Sin. Currently playing it docked with two Xbox controllers and it runs great at 1080p.

In Canada we see both. It says "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)".

That future is now. Most modern cars have the dashboard computer completely integrated and you can't remove it without crippling the vehicle.

This again? It's not going to happen.

 

With Chromecasts being discontinued, increase in ads, telemetry, etc I'm wondering if anyone else is going back to old school HTPCs or if they have some other solution to do this in house.

I think the options here are likely:

  1. Rooted streamer (ie Chromecast, firestick)
  2. Android Box
  3. Mini PC

I'm actually most interested in experimenting with #3, a mini PC running KDE Plasma Bigscreen. Most of my self hosted apps can be run in browser windows, and a full desktop (while harder to navigate) is better than the browsers you can get on Android.

What is everyone esle, especially the privacy / de-googled self hosters doing for their media front end?

 

Looking at the charging preferences of the Steam Deck, which from my research wants 45W at 15v/3A, it looks like the larger model should work just fine. And with it being $15 USD / $18 CAD this could be an incredible bargain.

It's so new though I can't find any info on it being used with a Steam Deck. I'll definitely be grabbing one to try, as it would be perfect for my USB hub that sits by the TV.
