This video by Northridgefix always stuck with me because most of why his business grew is because he spent so much Google ads that he made enough money to then move to a strip mall by a major road all while making YouTube videos and taking mailed in work.

He has another video looking for new employees because he had too much business.

What’s even crazier is he freely admits to this.

He continues to freely admit that the best way to get views is to be seen as rich and generous because kids love that stuff.

He only knows how to YouTube and Market and he says this all the time.

Mildly related.

I have a Native American friend. Her tribe is small so they only have a relatively small plot as their reservation. So they slapped a casino there and she makes bank by simply being a tribe member.

I asked if she’s okay with that since I would feel bad making money off of peoples gambling addiction and she said

“I don’t feel bad for white people.”

And honestly

1. I don’t think that’s a completely shocking take consider all of american history

But also

2. Its certainly a similar sentiment among sex workers I’ve met so its not an unfounded accusation.

This is very much a “if your eye is causing you to sin, pluck it out” moment, but still

I run stock Pop OS and I’ve only recently wanted to give a shit about macros.

You should only care if you’re running a specific software. By and large its AS SEEMLESS as using Windows.

Note that its not really BETTER its mostly just DIFFERENT.

This has never stopped humanity from at least rhyming before

Everyone in this green text is autistic.

I’m probably just stupid.

Yeah that’s what’s going to happen with the main blog.

Forgejo action > static HTML site > Cloudflared tunnel

This separate idea is to have a Lemmy instance to host pictures and federate the blogs comment system so people ideally won’t have to sign in or make an account to comment.

I think her dying trying is an important part of the point here.

I don’t agree with it. I’m sure there’s a more nuanced cause of death, but that’s between step 2 and 3.

If I was depressed and the onion was already cut.

Yeah I’d eat it. Might eat it like that just to see.

Any idea what kinda cheese?

From the inside he looks like a republican.

But that’s how its been for a while. This years Dem is last decades Rep.

I think the problem you’re running into is that Valve isn’t doing nothing with that pay.

Like valve is actively making my gaming experience better by developing cheap hardware and a good system for gaming on Linux.

All the games I’ve ever bought, regardless of if they still sell them are in my library.

My save files are cloud synced for free.

I as the end user am having a good time.

I also have a sunk cost thing going on. I’ve been trying to buy and play more GOG games but I just have so much that works already on Linux without any work that it’s hard to justify the tinker time to get it working otherwise.

They provide such a good service I think we’ve all forgotten about the children casinos for CSGO2 skins, but even that they’re fixing (kinda).

Maybe its just nice to not be mad about something. Like its just video games, I don’t really care if Valve has a monopoly on that since 1) Experience is good 2) they’re not trying to have like a monopoly on water or something important. Bad take maybe, but there’s enough going on that I just don’t know if I could make myself care that valve is like 90% of videogame sales. Or whatever it is.

Its less upsetting and more baffeling

Like I’m not mad, usually confused and intrigued by the question.

Unless you’re being a dick about it.

I’m personally allergic to doing anything to my distro other than installing games and VSCodium.

Its why I barely understand the X11 v Wayland discussion. I have no idea how to customize my Linux set up, if a troubleshooting step says “May bork computer if done wrong” I just reinstall the Distro or try another one. It takes like 5-10 minutes to install Linux on most modern computers

To me this is a feature of Linux. “It works on my distro” means I’m using that distro now!

I used to be a dual monitor guy on my gaming rig, but there were a few times I had issues with display (usually playing older games like Underlord)

So I just became a single monitor guy, but its a big monitor

This only works on others computers.

If the wizard themselves experience a minor irritating tech issue, then it stays permanently and forces the wizard to use a convoluted work around instead of asking another wizard for help (this would fix it)

It doesn’t?

Its very clearly saying ugliness isn’t a physical thing but a state of being.

I assumed it meant being mean, rude, negative in a harmful way then that’s what being ugly is. Meanwhile, someone who doesn’t have traditional markers of beauty who are also positive things like kind and uplifting, then they are lovely.

The 2009 BBC Hamlet with David Tenant and Patrick Stewart is, without a doubt, the best possible version of hamlet on stage, on film, in its entirety.

I worked through and annotated hamlet and then watched that version. Just me, a dark room, popcorn, and a cozy spot.

It has made me obsess over Hamlet. Such a wonderful story!

Conscript is a better term

I think you missed the guy this is targeted at.

Worry not though. I get it. There isn’t a lot of nuance in the AI discussion anymore and the anti-AI people are quite rude these days about anything AI at all.

You did good work homie!
