You can get free games with torrenting, so it never appealed to me.

I don't want or need more accounts, nor do I want or need more launchers.

Kind of. I've been playing a lot of PS2/GBA era games lately and I've been having more fun than most modern releases.

I'm definitely "behind a generation" where I wait for games to be available to easily torrent and run on Linux.

This is why I don't care about establishment democrats.

Literally everything they do is for show.

South african whites can be some of the biggest, most entitled pieces of shit on the planet.

Always downvote for slam in the title.

This comment chain shouldn't have been removed.

I stayed home because establishment democrats do not represent the interests of the working class.

What exactly about this is dumb?

It seems like a harmless way to get the message out. Charles Darwin likely would be spinning in his grave, along with Newton, Einstein, and many others.

Resisting the system would be to leave Israel.

What took Biden so long?

Why do we vote for people who wait until the last possible minute to do something?

Oh god, this stuff is so tiring.

These people will say she was put here to test those men, and she will be rewarded for her sacrifice after she dies.

If you're trying to find logic in religion, don't listen to the followers.

I don't want to be notified everytime I get a reply to one of my posts. Is there a way to turn this off?

I want to install Debian directly onto my USB drive. Is there an easy way to do this directly without having to reboot to run the installer?

The controller I'm using shuts off after about 5 minutes of idle time. I tried adjusting the value in Steam, but it doesn't have any effect.

Does anyone know where this value may be stored or how I can change it to be much longer?

I use it all the time and have for years. Just seems like a weird feature to lock behind about.config and say it's not supported while they still support things like Pocket.

So, apparently the chrome/geckodriver processes will terminate on their own if the user sends ctrl+c to the console. It will not terminate on its own if the program finishes running naturally.

If you're interested in terminating it on your own, like I also was, here is how I went about it.

use std::process::{Child, Command};

fn main() {
	let mut s = Server::default();
	s.start();
	s.shutdown();
}

struct Server {
	child: Option<Child>
}

impl Default for Server {
	fn default() -> Self {
		Self {
			child: None
		}
	}
}

impl Server {
	fn start(&mut self) {
		self.child = Some(Command::new("./chromedriver")
			.spawn()
			.expect("ls command failed to start"));
	}

	fn shutdown(&mut self) {
		input(None); // wait for input so you can observe the process
		self.child.as_mut().unwrap().kill();
		self.child.as_mut().unwrap().wait();
		println!("shutdown");
	}
}

pub fn input(prompt: Option<String>) {
	let mut input = String::new();
	match prompt {
		Some(prompt) => println!("{}", prompt),
		None => ()
	}
	io::stdin().read_line(&mut input).expect("Failed to read input");
}

The streaming sites listed on https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv#streaming have plenty of duplicates. Essentially, they're the same sites with different names/skins but the exact same content.

It would be beneficial to the community if we could consolidate these down into groups according to which ones are the same.

We can still list all of them, but perhaps do it together so people don't waste their time trying out the same site under a different name.

I've printed similar objects with a different colored PLA, but I ran out of it and switched to this.

Is it possible that this could be influencing the outcome?

I have tried reducing the printing speed by 50%, but this did not seem to have a significant impact.

[SOLUTION] The problem was a loose screw. The offending part as well as the new result are pictured below. It's not perfect, which I guess is actually a part of the model this time, but it's good enough for my purposes and way better than what it was before.

I figured this out by twisting the Z-axis thingy manually all the way to the top to see if I could feel any issues. Towards the top, it would start to 'skip', where I would turn and pretty much nothing would happen. I assume this has to do with the lack of lube at the top because my prints rarely go that high. I checked to see if the screws were loose, and sure enough, the top one was. I tightened it up and now my printer is printing like the beast I remember!

Isn't it enough to just enter your password once to login, then receive a warning whenever you're about to do something potentially dangerous?

If it's such a big security risk, how come the most popular and widely used operating systems in the world and their users seem to be unaffected by it?

I guarantee, most new users coming to Linux from Windows/macOS are going to laugh and look at you funny if you try to justify entering your password again and again and again.
