Obviously NixOS is the way to go for a gaming OS, just use the right flake and you’re all set!

Pascal was a famous thinker of their time, particularly in mathematics.

Two of the ideas they’re remembered for are Pascals Triangle and Pascals Wager.

Their triangle is a helpful tool for combinations of things. Their wager is a (kinda bad in my opinion) argument for why you should believe in the Christian God.

The xkcd comic is a combination of both ideas

You can review blocked instances here:

https://lemmy.world/instances

As for why? You’re absolutely right, this is often over political issues(drama, censorship, values, etc), sometimes technical ones, and there’s no guarantee that your instance’s mods goals are aligned with yours. In a healthy instance, you can search for the name of a blocked instance and find a relevant post about why it was blocked.

There are also blocklists: https://gardenfence.github.io/ I don’t know offhand if Lemmy.world makes use of them.

You can, of course, go to the blocked instance as a guest, to investigate or validate your mods’ claims, but a blocked instance will not shoot up on your page.

A demon core was part of early nuclear bomb research. The type of reaction they were studying would emit blue light and a ton of radiation.

It’s been a meme to imagine the demon core as an available weapon in medieval fantasy, since it looks somewhat like a mace.

Me too, but the pessimist in me thinks that the fine will work out to a 0.1% cost of doing business tax. Then publicly pinkie promise that they’ll never do it again, while not stopping and showing no signs of stopping. 😓🙄😮‍💨

But even that would cover a large percentage of the American workforce, and I imagine over a few years, it will grow to cover all users that don’t need personal accountants. Progress is progress.

Personally, I hope this transitions into a system where they email you a proposed return and you do nothing to accept it (only needing to take action if there’s an issue).

I have a similar use case, what do you recommend on the pi for a TV OS?

Impeachment by a future Congress was what I had in mind loosely. But I’m just one(1) person and not an expert on the subject. I suspect there may be options I do not see, but keeping a record is important to any future action on the matter.

A slightly less naive take is that we’re getting these statements on public record, so that we can take action on them later (assuming that day ever comes 😓)

Mirror mirror on the wall, let @nerdydaddy fill my hole

I think I have somewhere to be. Quick! Can I have a ride?

Top comment from the linked page:

"Looks like the book only included the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Those two amendments were not specifically excluded. This is rage bait. "

Not free, but I’ve found great value with purelymail.com. Cost is $10/year or there’s a calculator for advanced pricing (basically AWS costs forwarded).

If you provide your own domain, you can have unlimited email addresses. If you use a provided domain, there’s no predefined limit, but abuse will be stressed by the developer.

If you lose the master account’s password the admin cannot reset it for you, which indicates a strong commitment to privacy.

Because it’s paid, no activity requirements, phone number requirements, or invitations.

It has one of the best terms of service pages I’ve ever read.

This one features the number 19.

You’re one of today’s unlucky 10,000.

I saw a video recently where a Steam Deck was repurposed as a robotics controller and monitor unit for prototypes. Having an off-the-shelf highly customizations controller for $350 is a steal for this industry, but they’re not using it for games.

For what it’s worth, it’s been suggested that Musk’s takeover of Tesla was opportunistic, and against the desire of Tarpenning and Eberhard.

From my research, Tarpenning was pressured into quitting, and Eberhard was fired by the board of directors for lying to the board. Since Elon was chairman of the board at the time, it’s plausible (and even hinted at) that Elon played dirty to push through this firing.

I cannot say for sure if they would have handled the company more ethically then Musk, but I am personally uncomfortable hanging them out to dry simply on what could have been.

That said, I agree that employee co-ops are a top tier business organization structure.
