Imagine the guy that had to go down the slide in front of their glorious leader, like think even in front of your own president you had to take a waterslide, have them take a picture to share to the world

Look I know I am kicking a hornet’s nest here. First of all I am a Linux supporter, I have used the green Ubuntu since 2012, and I have been gaming on it since 2022.

But I am really curious about how the new ally 2 with the Xbox tweaked version of win 11 is going to turn out. Not that I would use it, if I get a handheld it will probably run Bazzite. But since Bazzite is basically a purpose built Linux OS for handhelds, I think the best comparison would be the Xbox team’s purpose built Windows 11 for handhelds.

I still believe Microsoft will take the loss even with the tweaked version, but just like how we will cry if they put for example Hannah Montana Linux and Microsoft beats it somehow in certain examples with their new Xbox win 11 mobile.

Can we start a thread with like blocking words, but yes blocking makes Lemmy the best

Yeah the Melania strategy doesn’t always work, probably gonna beat Carter’s record

Fuck now I gotta run from the law as well

I cannot speak for this area of science, but in my field China’s research papers, for example rock mass failure response to complex stress states, are like a god send, really quality work. This is my opinion in my field but if I had to extrapolate… Remember the Soviets with all their propaganda had amazing scientists

What do you mean? What distro are you using? And what card are you using?

Wait isn’t it that they changed from three unlocks a year to only one device per Mi account a year. As far as I know you can still unlock one single device a year

Won’t the death of honey bees be a good thing in the US, apart from no more honey. Aren’t they invasive and really outcompeted native bee species

You cannot just say this is a ROCK! What type of rock, is it igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rock, then what rock is it, is it granite or norite. And what is the damn mineralogy, are there any feldspars or over identifiers

Any gun you buy the most important thing is AMMO. This allows you to train which will be more important than any mod. I would say get quality but relatively cost effective ammo to get started on, 200 rounds is plenty for a first training day. Focus on your grip, there are plenty of different styles, you trigger pull, probably the hardest initially getting effective consistent technique, and sight picture. This will take time to master but this is your foundation. Once you get consistent try one day with different types of ammunition. Don’t buy the best and most expensive, unless you are able to consistently afford that ammo every time you go practice, since you should preferably train on the ammo you wish to carry, doesn’t help you train on cheap 124gr fmj ammo, yet carry a +p+ 148gr hp ammo and expect yourself to be consistent in an emergency. So lots of ammo to train and get consistent.

If you are looking at mods, just know you are changing the weapon, so reliability might/will be affected. But I like my mods but I only decided on them after a while. The initial mods I got when I first bought my first firearm lie uninstalled now in my safe since I realised how detrimental they initially were. But I do now have mods. So if I can give my mods I installed and currently carry on my 43x is the following: Flat Apex trigger, just love how much better I can feel my breaks. Ghost connector, like I said love how I can feel my breaks. I did a polish job on my internals, be careful not to have heat from polishing because they may warp or mess with your metal temper.

What I still wish to do is put better sights or a red dot, but for now I feel I am still very effective with the standard Glock sights, even if there are better sights available.

My biggest advice is actually, get ammo and a great holster. After that maybe a sights/red dot. After that you can go as much as you are willing to go. Flashlights increase usage during low light situations, the list is almost endless. You need to ask what you want to use the firearm for and get it ready for that.

I like to use the motorcycle example. Most people buy an 1000cc+ adventure bike with all the bells and whistles, side and top boxes, metal frame protectors, aftermarket performance shocks, led lights galore, GPS tracker, heated seats and grips… Yet they do not have the riding experience. Also they are 99% of the time going to drive to work 20-30kms away from home on a beautiful road during daylight.

They would have been better buying simple 400cc motorcycle for travelling on road, get used to the motorcycle and then decide what they use 95% of the time. Yes all the previous add-ons would come handy in that 1 time it may come up, but are you always using it? After a while they trade in the small motorcycle, upgrade to a 800cc commuter with only a top box to store their helmet and heated grips for their hands during winter.

Same with a gun. Sorry for the ramble and remember a gun is a huge responsibility, and the 4 rules of gun safety.

It is called equity equivalents, this is where you don’t give away equity but basically still pay as if you are, hence I admit royalties are maybe not the right word but for my it is similar. Unlike other international tech companies like Google or Microsoft in our country that pays equity equivalents, the telecommunications requirements are equity or slice of your business.

I admit it is not royalties, it’s called something else not sure what, word that came to my mind. But basically an equivalent of paying similar money but without giving away equity or ownership.

Funny enough, I do believe our BEE laws in South Africa should be scrapped. According to our news he offered to pay 26% in royalties, like Google does for example in South Africa, but did not agree to give away equity. The BEE laws are basically a way for politically connected ANC members to get a slice of the pie, does not one bit help the majority of people here.

Look Elon is a shit, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. There also needs to be empowerment laws, I say to poor citizens not based on any race laws, even though the majority of extremely poor people are black, coloured indian, mixed…, but not ones that mostly filter to the politically connected like the current BEE laws favour.

Yeah, it is insane once you have family members who have started to sip from the kool-aid. I feel like it is a lost cause, even when you have objective proof, they say their feelings still triumph your evidence

Jeez is this an ad, I thought my pop-up blockers were strong, clearly this site has shown me that their ad kungfu is stronger.

My advice, stay the fuck away from this ad infested website

Something like this is an excellent idea. I understand for the proper functioning of a democracy is to have its citizens fully informed, but the rest of the world is not a citizen of the USA. Yes I still want to know the important stuff since our world is a connected world, but do I really have to see how the POTUS is holding a water bottle weirdly, or that they like Dijon mustard on their hot dog or tripped on a stair and now their age is in question.

My country has significantly more problems that are more relevant to myself, just like every other person from another country, and being bombarded by USA politics is exhausting and quite frankly a waste of my time and mental health.

Ok first of $50 billion! Second… Fuck what else is there except to see a YouTube of someone super glue their asshole with this new stuff and why he, because it will be a dumb guy unfortunately, needs us to donate to his gofundme for an asshole transplant

Yeah South African here, it’s a Christian book shop franchise here, not sure if they have spread to other countries yet. Primary school the store name was the butt of the joke for a short while
