The military industrial complex appears to be scared that this sort of event will become common.

I hope their fears are correct.

Want common people to not smash your shit?

Make shit that common people can feel okay about.

I mean, I played Pokemon with my kids. So maybe both?

Now we play Cassette Beasts - and soon Palworld - together.

My boycott pretty naturally applied to my kids.

We were day one buyers for multiple copies of the last Zelda game, and the last couple Pokemon before Nintendo legal went foul.

Now no one in my family has a Switch 2, and my kids are begging me to help them spend their allowance on Palworld.

I bought a shit ton of games from Nintendo until their legal department went rabid.

Untouchable companies do fall, when they manage to alienate diehard fans, such as myself.

Yes. I was a huge purchaser of both Steam games and Nintendo exclusives on Switch (as long as they got great reviews).

Then Nintendo’s legal team went crazy, attacking emulator developers and suing competing game studios over bullshit “patents” on game mechanics.

So it’s time to starve that beast. No more Nintendo games, for me.

Btw, Zelda on PC when?

Any time you want, if you float in the right seas…uh…circles. Or so I’ve heard.

Yes. Nintendo’s lawsuit was what made me decide to buy Palworld. Fuck Nintendo’s lawyers.

Misleading title (not yours, the article, itself).

Omitting the word “minors” from the title makes a world of difference.

Many of us can argue all day about where the line should be between freedom and safety for mature adults, while agreeing that minors (and other vulnerable people) deserve extra protection.

Edit: Also to echo the earlier comment *where dafuq are these parents?" Haha.

That security guard should be ashamed!

(edit: Yes, and arrested for assault!)

About fucking time.

Citizen’s United (and similar corruption) took away our ability to regulate tech billionaires, but we still out number them.

If they want to stop being scared, they can curb their parasitic behaviors and return the billions they have extracted.

Edit: Getting off of the list of the world’s billionaires is a path filled with fancy meals, accolades, ribbon cutting ceremonies, and thank-you letters from happier children.

Billionaires have a moral obligation to a cushy job (become non-billionares), and they aren’t doing it, today.

Canyoneeerrrroooo!!!

Anytime I want to listen to some ASMR, now, of course.

We are kind of on our way.

Half the time when I look up how to repair my dishwasher, the best video guide turns out to also be an intentional ASMR video to maximize attention.

(Okay, not really half, but that it happens at all is hilarious.)

Microsoft has yet to explain how or why the lapse occurred.

Highly skilled technical staff are expensive, and it turns out that some people still use Windows when Microsoft doesn’t hire the talent necessary to keep Windows working.

Edit: Also, bribes from three letter government agencies are probably pretty nice.

Wobbly windows are fun! I also turned them off for stability. I should try them again sometime.

Adding additional DEs on Debian variants (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint) has always just plugged them in to my login page as a drop-down to choose between.

So I consider it pretty low risk. The main cost is disk space.

If the DE freezes up, a hard power button reboot will stop at the login page and allow choosing a different one, as long as the “automatic login” setting is turned off (and as long as I know I password).

Buying up competing game studios was also unlawful.

Time to starve this beast. Money spent on XBox/Microsoft games is unethical, now.

Understanding of asshole bosses, more like.

The issue where the window needs reloaded after some time does sound like software - specifically like a slow memory leak.

Plenty of us are using Cinnamon without that issue, but of course it could be you have some strange unlucky combination of hardware, patch version, etc.

I’m not sure b if the video thing is related. Pop-out videos come in many flavors, and most range from mildly anti-user to outright evil. So the video misbehaving could be down to the specific combination of site, site video digital rights management, how much spying they try to do while the video plays, how much of that spying Librewolf is set to block, and what day of the week it is (how fast your Internet connection is, that day, really).

Do you have any window manager extensions installed? (I know gnome has a whole extension ecosystem, but I’m but sure Cinnamon even supports Desktop extensions. If you don’t remember adding anything, ignore this, it’s a really long shot.)

You could try adding a second desktop environment (MATE is a popular enough 2nd choice) and see if the issues happen there, as well. You can switch desktop environments in a drop-down on the login page.

Have you launched the Drivers tool to see if it recommends anything?

One time I was having issues and I typed “drivers” into the Start menu, and it brought up a panel that recommended a driver update, which fixed some issues for me.

Today I learned that game show episodes can be surrealist art pieces.
