conservatives fear the entire idea of transgenderism, because they hate and fear the entire idea of women, and they can not, in their myopic little mind, understand why a man would want to willingly "debase" himself by "pretending" to be a woman. Thats why they think its so perverse and deranged. Because thats how much they hate women.
cause you notice pretty much ALL their antitrans rhetoric circles around the transwomen and penises.
In the years of listening to this vomitous verbal diatribe, I have not heard one single comment about transmen.
Either that, or they are trying to position themselves in a power position post-trump.
I have had people tear my ass up on multiple occasions for trying to remind people that Liz Cheneys anti-trump performance does not, in fact, make her a good person.
That she is still, at her core, a republican piece of shit.. and her saying one thing that I agree with (That Trumps a threat) does not make her a good person.
I am 100% not surprised that she secretly tried to protect one of Trumps biggest anchors on the supreme court, who is vital for their 2025 goals and seizing of power.
Because she, like all republicans, are performative assholes who say whatever they think will get them more support and power.
I hate having to be on the side of "Defending" google... but this is the app makers fault, They are the ones using whats provided and installing the artificial limitations.
Google just provided the capability to do it. The app makers are executing it.
I mean, that was only ever true if you were a very specific hue on the color spectrum.
PS4/5 and every xbox are x86
PS4/5 and OG Xbox/XBone/SX are x86. I always thought 360 useds a xeon, but i was wrong, it was power PC. TIL
PS3 is PowerPC.

Hes a dancing monkey that brings in tons of ratings, viewership, and revenue.
So media has a vested financial interest in giving him tons of coverage, especially soft coverage, to get eyes on products. Its also why they have a vested interest in his winning, and are doing everything they can (including a mass hysterical hallucination that Biden was somehow old and incompetent due to having jet lag after a whirlwind 3 day international political trip) to ensure trump remains favorable in the eyes of people who wouldnt vote for him if they got the 100% unfiltered coverage about him.
Thats the biggest issue.
There are other issues, of course, helping this along (and benefiting from the above mentioned media bias) are things like the fact that he is a foreign puppet being manipulated by Putin mostly, and by others less so. Which is why they, especially russia, has invested so much money into the NRA, Republican Packs, and most recently, internet jackwads that balding beanie wearing fuckstick and his ilk. To have a chorus of mouth pieces pushing false news and pro-russian narratives, to undermine our democracy and reduce to outright eliminate our presence on the global stage as a bulwark against countries like Russia.
You also have petty powermongers at home that are sounding his call for dictatorial power so they can get their own petty feifdoms.
And the billionaire conservatives who want the world to be a festering cesspit of poverty so they can sleep on their mountains of gold.. and are using the media they control to further their goals, by lifting trump up and knocking everyone else down.
and finally, you have the lowest strata, his voters, Most of which vote for him because they want their women to be property, and their non-white neighbors to be property too. and they don't care how deep into hell everything goes as long as they can be racist twats who don't have to self censor and are free of repercussions for their twattery.
Theres more minutae to it, and several other layers and strata, but this is kinda the general broad strokes.
I lost a tooth to one of these things.
To be fair, a bunch of teenagers were also involved, making it spin at about mach 87 before it smashed into my mouth.
Because Biden is a boring president.
He had no controversies, He said no outrageous things. The worst thing Biden ever did was show up, heavily jetlagged, to a debate, and still managed to perform decently in it (despite what the mass hallucination the media has incited would have you believe)
He did his job, he did it well.
And because of that, people didnt turn into broadcast media in droves to see the latest tidbits on what he had done. So ratings, and viewership, and profit declined for broadcast media.
Which is why they love and want another Trump presidency.
Because he is always saying something horrible, doing something horrible, has some new horrible controversy, almost every fucking day.
Things that drive people to turn to the news every day and watch, in numbers that havent been seen since 9/11, and those numbers endured for 4 years of presidency.
The Broadcast Media is addicted to trump, and will stop at nothing to ensure they can continue hit their drug of choice every. single. day. multiple times a day, if possible. and the best way to do that is to whitewash everything he does and says, and go after his opponents with an aggression that is worthy of lawsuits, to ensure he can be president again and give them those ratings, viewership and income again.
the tape spooled up on the reel inside a VHS looks like a thi(c/k) dis(c/k)
Projecting a bit with that whole "Acting superior" claim, aintcha.
In an effort to not show bias, we are giving incredible bias to Trump that no one else would get.
Seriously.
It sounds like a fucking nightmare. Imagine working on something for days and it refuses to work cause you accidentally capitalized 1 file name and dont notice it?
That sounds like the kind of shit they'd do in tech hell.
I wish my old angelfire site was still around..
You are trying to put the onus on end users, while also simultainously pursuing some weird guilt based appeal to emotion.
And still refuse to address the core issue, which is the lack of moderation and policing of content creating the essential need for adblockers in the first place.
Ad companies don't get create this toxic hellscape, then blame end users with wrung hands and empty "Won't someone thing of the poor content creators" appeals to emotion to try and handwave the responsibility away.
Why won't they think of the content creators? Why wont they do something to reduce the actual necessity for adblock in the interest of the poor, downtrodden content creators?
Especially in a world where far better alternatives (like merch and patreon type sites) exists to give them money, directly, without having to deal with advertising hellscapes.
Modern Toy Story, but instead of cowboys, dinosaurs and spacemen, its Skabati toilet and all that other ridiculous shit.
I don't voluntarily consume malware, malicious software, or hate speech/propaganda.
Its just forced upon me when I don't protect myself.
Are you really happy with yourself, white knighting for the poor defenseless advertising companies? The ones who serve this shit, without policing or moderation? The lack of which is precisely why adblocking, the thing you are trying to blame users for with your disingenuous "You criticize society, yet you exist in society.. interesting" type argument, exists in the first place.
All the ad companies have to do to get rid of adblocking is police and moderate their content that they serve. Something they actively refuse to do.
And yet you don't have a single criticism for that. You have nothing but vigorous defense of it, and shifting of blame to the users, for it.
Your entire post is trying to frame end users for the responsibility of what the advertising companies have done (or more like failed to do) and caused as a result.
You're trying to hold a fork up and demand everyone acknowledge as a spade, and ridicule anyone who doesnt agree with a very dismissive attitude.
Roms arent adblocking.
But it'll probably be better known as the Mako Mk.2 by anyone who played Mass Effect 1, because holy shit its the Mako.

I spent 3 days trying to get FOLON to work following both the official website guide and every post I could find on the internet, and I finally said fuck it and played around with it myself and figured out how to get it running.

Edit- About 30 minutes ago, as of this edit, a patch was released to address many problems with FOLON. None of the techniques I've listed here for installing the main mod works with the patch. I am continuing to experiment and if I can figure it out I will edit this post again or make a replied post.
Edit 2-
Okay, I could not find a way to get the patcher to work to patch the game
But the base install files are also updated to the same version as the patch, so just redownload the executable and the bin files from gog and follow the steps in the original guide
"It became very clear that we were missing the large final location that was going to tie the story together," says former lead quest designer Will Shen.
""We were finally at a state in the project where we could play through the whole [game]. And it became very clear that we were missing the large final location that was going to tie the story together and have a satisfying action-filled payoff," Shen said. "I was both implementing the main quest and leading the quest design team, so I had absolutely no time. The entire quest design team was already overbooked.""
The quest design team being overbooked and not having time certainly explains a lot.
As far as I know, the big damage from Nuclear Weapons planetside is the massive blastwave that can pretty much scour the earth, with radiation and thermal damage bringing up the rear.
But in space there is no atmosphere to create a huge concussive and scouring blast wave, which means a nuclear weapon would have to rely on its all-directional thermal and radiation to do damage.. but is that enough to actually be usful as a weapon in space, considering ships in space would be designed to handle radiation and extreme thermals due to the lack of any insulative atmosphere?
I know a lot of this might be supposition based on imaginary future tech and assumptions made about materials science and starship creation, but surely at least some rough guess could be made with regards to a thernonuclear detonation without the focusing effects of an atmosphere?
I set up Steam Link on my raspberry pi to try and do some couch gaming over the holiday.. but its no bueno. I am on a 5600x/6700xt with wayland on linux, and steam is up to date.
I get a black screen with a mouse cursor.
I try launching steam with the -pipewire command as i've read elsewhere, and I can see big picture mode, but its horribly slow.. But the weird thing is, its only steam/games thats slow. The mouse runs in real time without lag, and any sounds run in real time without lag or hiccup. But the video is like 1 frame per minute, so I can push left on the d-pad and have to sit and wait forever for the selection on the TV to move (even though its moved over immediately on the desktop).
Games are the same issue. Game runs fine on the desktop, audio runs fine on the streamed TV, but the video is just like..slide show.
I've tried running it at the lowest possible image quality settings. at low bandwidth, at high bandwidth, at the max the network test suggested, tried turning all the settings like hardware video encoding and stuff off and on. Nothing makes a difference.
Is steam link just completely screwed or am I being an idiot and doing something wrong?
I'm currently running a rx580 (with a 5600x and 16gb of ram), and its finally starting to show its age and not be able to run at the settings i would prefer, at the frames I would like.
This is a card I'll probably, barring its sudden demise, be sticking with for the next 5-6 years, So keep that in mind too. I know vram demand in games is on the rise too, even for 1080p, which is why I have not considered any 8gb cards like the 6600 or the 7600.
I've narrowed my choices down to the 6700xt, 6750xt and rx6800 (non-xt). Which will be used almost entirely for 1080p gaming (maybe 1440p if my current monitor dies and I'm forced to replace it)
6700xt is attractive simply because its the cheapest. 6800 is attractive cause its more powerful, which I would hope means I'd get a bit more extra time out of it.
6750xt is kinda stuck in the middle.. -100ish bucks cheaper than the 6800, but also 70-90ish bucks more expensive than the 6700xt, and from all the reviews I've seen, it seems like it only averages around a 5-8fps boost over the 6700xt which doesn't exactly seem worth the investment?
This is where I need the advice of those who are more experienced/knowledgeable than I am.
Would the 6800 have enough horsepower to be viable long enough after the 6700xt/6750xt hit their limits to be worth the price jump, or Should I save 100 bucks and get the 6750? Or should I just go straight with the 6700xt and save almost 200 bucks?
My gut is telling me 6700xt, but I'd like some outside, hands on experienced opinions, if you'd be so kind to give them, before I can quash the debate in my head.
I am trying to get Outer Worlds: Spacers Choice edition working, but it has horrible texture flickering, regardless of the proton version of in game graphic settings.
And I dont mean like, color strobing or anything, World Textures and NPCs both flicker rapidly in and out of existence, to the point you can see through them to whats behind them. I have never had an issue with flickering lights or anything before, but its so intense its even causing me nausea to look at it.
I have tried many combinations of in game graphic settings from low to ultra, with no effect whatsoever.
I have also tried several different versions of proton ( Experimental, 7.0-6, 8.0-2 and various versions of GE Proton from 7-20 to 8-6 ) None of which has altered the behavior in any way.
I'm on Ubuntu 22.04, Using Wayland, and my MESA drivers are up to date. I have a RX580 and a 5600x CPU, with 16g of ram. Edit: I am also on kernal 6.3, not an older one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.
edit
Changed video cards from a rx480 to a 6700xt and it worked fine. game must have had some issue with Polaris.
