    Empire in Decline

    Who said a popular uprising would leave any billionaires?

    I was more specifically referring to himself, but yeah you're probably right.

    Empire in Decline

    I was aware of this, but it feels like a deliberate obfuscation tactic to enable a "I was just following orders" defense considering the penalty for disobedience in wartime can include being put to death. There's even a sort-of foolproof method by which one can get through an insubordination...

    Gotta love how one of Trump's campaign promises was to make the Epstein files public, and now the official line is that there are no Epstein files. Wonder who he's protecting with that move.

    Empire in Decline

    Yeah, jtr I'd say at this point it's optimistic to think we'll have mid-term elections at all. The vulnerable populations -- those who are some variety of LGBTQ, people of color (especially of hispanic or middle eastern origin) and those with disabilities and illnesses needing management need...

    Basic, non-subscription software for Windows 11

    Slow down time so it appears to run faster by default? Chrome runs faster but consumes ungodly amounts of system resources, just due to a different design paradigm. As everything it's a tradeoff.

    Yeah, I'd say the military is brainwashed enough to just fall in line. See what they're doing in California. They're already deployed there -- in the event of a shooting war, California would be subdued in less than a day because they're already there and California has no defense of their own...

    Yeah, those keys tend to require phone activation. I wouldn't use them on a machine we sell for liability reasons. On my own stuff I just install 2021 and then massgrave it.

    Windows 11

    See, I used to scale DPI lower so I could fit more on a screen, but this was like… fitting 1920x1200 into a 19 inch 1440x900 screen, nothing crazy. This was of course before my vision went completely to shit. mubs, Windows supports setting an arbirtrary percentage for scaling now, and has at...

    Something Random

    I did another playthrough of Morrowind recently with Tamriel Rebuilt, which among (most of) the Morrowind mainland it implements (the base game takes place on the island of Vvardenfell, a lore-relevant Tribunal Temple preserve only recently opened to colonists) it also implements vanilla-esque...

    Something Random

    I probably worded it poorly, but I was just saying I think I'm done entirely. I was so shocked at being pursued that I let it happen, and that was a mistake; I think in the future my answer will be 'no'. Maybe I'll word it more nicely, maybe I'll just keep it the one word, simple and clear. Not...

    Oh, that's already happening. Miami's elections this year are cancelled, they're pushing them to next year is the official line. If you think this stops in Florida, you're delusional.

    Windows 11

    I have to scale 1080p to 130ish to keep it readable at 14", and I've found a lot of my clients get mileage out of the scaling due to similarly (though usually to a worse degree) poor vision.

    So birthright citizenship basically isn’t a thing anymore, and now I’m just waiting until they turn that around to start making dissidents who were born here non-citizens and therefore fair game to deport to an El Salvadoran gulag.

    Say what you will about Jellyfin, it's worked on everything I've tried and I refuse to pay for Plex Pass.
