I would note that every single time I've tried to reactivate windows after a mobo or CPU upgrade, it has failed.

I guess it's supposed to work better if you sign into your Microsoft account ever, which I don't, because I see literally no reason they would need me to expect to advance spyware and adware.

The phone activation is the only thing that has worked. Good thing I've been dual booting a Ubuntu fork for the past six months. I guess after my next hardware upgrade I'll be Linux only.

We attend a Passover seder every year where the host mother dedicates the ceremony to the people of Palestine, that they may one day be set free of their bondage and suffering as were the Jews in Egypt.

Easily 80% of the Jewish people we know are fiercely anti-zionist and horrified by the Israeli government.

Platformers, metroidvanias, soulslikes, puzzlers... some games are almost brutal in how they demand patience and focus!

DC is also in the USA and is taxed without representation. But Puerto Rico is even worse consigned to second-class citizenship due to the Jones Act.

Yeah, and it was a shit deal for the U.S. colonies, particularly still Puerto Rico which is governed without representation in the government.

It was shit when we did it, it was shit when the European powers did it, and it will be shit if China does it to Taiwan.

Yeah, my point is that they've all been dropped on civilians in Palestine. There's no great mystery where they ended up. The U.S. provided the arms for the genocide.

Have they checked Gaza's schools and hospitals?

Homicide rate ranges from 1.9 per 100k in New Hampshire to over 19 per 100k in Mississippi and Louisiana, so there are certainly some states that are 10x more violent than others.

It's a shit ouroboros, Randy!

I'm starting to feel like I might own an actual spaceship before Star Citizen gets to 1.0.

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I bought a $60 ship back in 2013 or whatever and have only tried it a few times since.

I would definitely recommend waiting for when - and if - it comes out as a polished product.

Most of the limited number of projects I backed on Kickstarter have succeeded, but Star Citizen is one of the two lessons I learned about throwing early money at big projects. Can't believe it's been over twelve years.

I just had a little magnetic clip for my air vent where I could attach my phone and put up a map.

I'd sooner go back to doing that than use a "Gemini-based AI assistant" in my fucking car.
