I've been so tempted to make and sell custom flags printed with pro-Biden/LGBTQ themes, then have pro-trump messaging printed on top using a water-soluble ink so that these idiots would hang the flags proudly like they always do........only to have the flags change completely the first time it rains hahaha. I'd love to see them frantically trying to pull down a flag in a rainstorm 😂

Crazy to think it was only about fifteen years ago the small Data-storage server reseller I worked for was selling their own in-house server racks - a whole 52U rack filled with Supermicro drive bays to store a petabyte of data was $300k and that was a steal of a deal at the time.

Sure, that system was redundant and this is a single pbSSD, but still crazy to see how fast things are evolving

Wow, who could have ever seen that coming. What's surprising is that it's being reported..... must be a desperate effort to call people to action to support their nation?

Cool, I won't use any product Elno is attached to - I think most of us have learned that lesson

Quake itself was ok. The multiplayer version was fun. But the real fun started when people began modding the game. The original Team Fortress was actually a free mod for Quake which I'm pretty sure quickly became the most popular instance of the game for online play.

Funny random tidbit, I actually remember playing the game with one dude who specifically had to brag about having a high powered 1ghz processor as his username in the game (something like 1gigahertz or something cheesy like that). Pretty sure back then I was still rocking a 700mhz AMD Athlon Thunderbird processor.

Oh no doubt that was also a big factor, but even if they were well built high quality cars, it would still be a non-starter as long as Elno has anything to do with the company.

Sounds to me like their whole argument is "it's too difficult and expensive to bring trump to the specified secured facility. His lawyers are basically suggesting that since Trump was former president, him and his residence are "secure" because he's protected by secret service agents and surely that must be "secure enough" for these top secret classified documents

Just don't subscribe. When netflix pissed me off, I unsubscribed. When Adobe moved to a subscription based platform, I forced myself to learn alternative applications (although I still have a copy of Adobe Creative Suite from 2003 which I am still using on old laptop when needed). When Microsoft started charging a subscription to use "office" apps, I switched to LibreOffice. During Covid when I wasn't using my gym membership I cancelled it and used that $75/month savings to start building a home gym setup (it ain't great, but its better than nothing!)

If something is a subscription, I either find an alternative program/service, or simply don't use it.

I don't need student debt relief, it won't affect me. But I am extremely for it - it's called wanting a better life for your fellow human being.

Compassion - it's not a difficult concept if you're not a narcissistic a$$hole.

And as an added bonus, the money currently going to banks would actually get better distributed to businesses (both big and small) and act as a net gain to our economy. But screw that - we don't want some bank stocks to dip and affect some wealthy pension plans! /s

And he sure locked up Hillary!

Such an (im)potent man

Lemmy has very limited content right now - don't like it? Start creating your own content, maybe it'll make it to the top of all as well

For one brief moment, stocks were at an all-time high......... What else could matter?
