/r/conservative gets a pass on a lot of shit. Admins don't like it when they get called out for it.

I try to get banned as much as I can there until every IP I use to make accounts is IP banned. Which means entire physical sites can get banned if I try hard enough.

Edit: Got a 7-day ban for saying fascists should be shot and left for dead in the street.

I liked it. But I also used the "classic" interface anyway, so....

DOS isn't Windows. Consumer versions of Windows happened to run on top of DOS until XP was released in 2001.

Maybe I should rephrase: the OS you matured with is the best OS.

“Americans can rest assured that she is off our streets and locked up. I hope the media will stop doing the bidding of these gangs that murder, maim, rape, and terrorize Americans, while ignoring the innocent victims,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin wrote in an email.

After dismissing the jurors, Summerville also permanently dismissed the Suffolk County District Attorney’s case against Martell-Lebron due to prosecutorial misconduct.

Good.

I'm gonna guess the "suspect" was just trying to get by for his family, as most "illegals" are really doing. Just trying to get by.

You Can Remove DRM From Your Digital Books, but It's Probably Illegal by lka1988 in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Removing DRM has always been "illegal".

However: German concentration camps were legal, while families protecting Jewish citizens from being taken to said concentration camps was strictly illegal.

What's legal is not always right (ethically and morally), and what's right is not always legal. Remember that.

My coworker is an air force vet. I just told him, with zero context, "it wasn't the war thunder forums this time". He closed his eyes, sighed, and shook his head, then went back to what he was doing.

Deposits should be held by the city. The landlord should be forced to prove they deserve it in a court of law. by lka1988 in c/memes@lemmy.ml

As someone who is likely going to be stuck renting for the foreseeable future, I agree. I'll happily pay my deposit to some sort of escrow that the landlord has zero access to until it's proven by a neutral third party, with no financial interest in the property, who has seen the property before and after renting.

I'm in the process of getting my Home Assistant environment up and running, and decided to run a test: it turns out that my gaming PC (custom 5800X3D/7900XTX build) uses more power just sitting idle, than both of my storage freezers combined.

Background: In addition to some other things, I bought two "Eightree" brand Zigbee-compatible plugs to see how they fare. One is monitoring the power usage of both freezers on a power strip (don't worry, it's a heavy duty strip meant for this), and the other is measuring the usage of my entire desktop setup (including monitors and the HA server itself, a Lenovo M710q).

After monitoring these for a couple days, I decided that I will shut off my PC unless I'm actively using it. It's not a server, but it does have WOL capability, so if I absolutely need to get into it remotely, it won't be an issue.

Pretty fascinating stuff, and now my wife is completely on board as well; she wants to put a plug on her iMac to see what it draws, as she uses it to hold her cross-stitch files and other things.

But it has a slow screen refresh rate, which makes it less than ideal for watching videos, playing games, or other actions.

I love how this is one of the first criticisms, as if that wasn't the entire point of this device.

Ah yes, I forgot THAT'S why I didn't go for this thing.
