Useless? I feel like you could get some commissions from urban restaurants to put these in their street-facing food displays

Very cool. Much better than what I do with my friends, which is post a message on Discord saying “🥊 react for movie A, 🐱 react for movie B, etc.”

Hardware decoding was my reason for upgrading

My god you are so insufferably pedantic, please go back to reddit

politicians are not the government

Wh- what? Show me a wikipedia page for a government official that doesn’t have the word “politician” as part of their description.

people are the government

Maybe in an ideal democracy, but America (the country this comic is referring to by criticizing Reagan) is a republic

mm not quite, businessmen bribe donate to politicians so that they can be above the law and profit off citizens anyway they want to.

Although what you said is true for businesses that sell to the military. That would look more like a businessman shoveling money into the government’s mouth (aka bribing to get government contracts) and then eating the government’s shit

There should be a businessman shoveling money into the government’s mouth

Exactly, they could be hosting their releases on whichever site they use for remote git, but they don’t know how to use git

This question gets asked every year and every time it turns out to be an OPSEC mistake instead

Are you forgetting Teen Rugrats

Thanks for the perspective. I’m US born and raised, educated in public schools, so the only education I got about unions was the bad stuff. The only unions I know of in my area are electricians and plumbers, so I assumed it was a vocation-specific thing. Also lol @ your last sentence, I can totally imagine

I don’t mean tech companies, or the broad designation of “tech workers”, I’m specifically talking about software developers (and maybe QA). For example, a salesperson is not going to understand why engineers hate open office spaces and how it makes it extremely difficult for us to focus on our work.

I’m an American software engineer who has badly wanted my field to unionize. Do you think it will ever happen? I’m not hopeful because there are too many people who are just in the field for the lucrative salaries and have no real interest or passion. They’ll put up with anything if it means a six figure+ salary: Scrum micromanagement, open office spaces, incredibly unrealistic deadlines that were set without engineer input, vacation time hardly ever getting approved, etc.

Constantly referencing TikToks/Insta reels

Unironically talking about YouTuber beefs

The only jokes they’re capable of making are meme references

Their phone’s photo album is practically empty or only screenshots

Hard to know for sure without knowing what exactly it is you’re trying to run, but since you’re using an AMD processor, I would guess it’s NOT a firmware/driver issue. New Intel processors would be a different story.

Even today, not every application is programmed to use multiple cores effectively, or at all. Again, we need to know what application(s) you’re running when this happens

VMWare and archive dot org are your friend

I wish I were LeVar Burton

I wish I were LeVar Burton

I wish I were LeVar… Burton

Commentators lied to me. I shouldn’t be surprised

To clarify, the helmet comms are cut off after 15 seconds every play (i.e. after the first 15 seconds of the play clock have elapsed)

I would say I’ve never approached a woman romantically not quite out of fear of being viewed as a creep, but out of fear of creeping her out. I’m paranoid about putting people in uncomfortable situations, because I hate when it’s done to me
