I am 100% invested in the Erikkka leather hot pants infedelity storyline. I can't decide if I want the season finale to reveal that Trump ordered the event or that his neck just did that. The false flag would be a better plot but jugular autophagy is way funnier.

I remember several years back people were mad that a phone brand (can't remember which one, I think it was Samsung?) was claiming to be able to take superzoom photos of the moon, but were actually just replacing the very fuzzy moon with a clear image. Nowadays, you have phone brands (all of them, not just the one) actively promoting adding people into image, removing people from images, hell, even changing the entire SKY, with little to no reaction from most people. What happened, why doesn't anyone care anymore?

Of note, I do not feel particularly strongly for or against artificially enhanced smartphone photographs. I'm just wondering why no one is talking about any of this...

Wine 10.18 is now available for capping off the month of October and working toward the code freeze for Wine 11.0 beginning in early December.

Wine 10.18 brings more improvements to the WoW64 mode for allowing 32-bit Windows programs to run on 64-bit Linux systems via emulating the native Windows WoW64 subsystem. The WoW64 mode in Wine 10.18 includes now supporting OpenGL memory mappings using Vulkan as well as SCSI pass-through support.

And people share the screenshot into the comm based on which sized spoon Stalin would have brought to that person's family farm

A left-wing bloc made up of the Socialist, Communist, Green parties and the hard-left France Unbowed had proposed a minimum 2 per cent tax on wealth over €100 million (S$150 million), dubbed the “Zucman tax” after the French economist who devised it.

Mr Lecornu expressed his “profound disagreement” with the wealth-tax proposal, insisting there was no such thing as a “miracle tax”.

These trick or treatlers keep coming to take my surplus value (assorted Hershey's candy) to use as imperial super profits (sugar rushes and tummy aches).

i'm going as beanis! also i brought beans!

srsly tho be safe tonight everyone :)

The ministerial override power at the centre of Labor’s proposed reforms to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act would not merely give politicians a completely unfettered power to ignore environmental laws in the name of the “national interest”, but enable them to do so in total secrecy.

Watt tried to downplay the national interest override power in his address, describing it as “a specific power, in rare circumstances that are in the national interest, for the minister to make a decision that is inconsistent with the National Environmental Standards. Such a decision would be accompanied by a statement of reasons, which includes the environmental implications of the decision. To demonstrate the rare nature of these decisions, the bill refers to defence, security and national emergencies as the types of situations this power might be used.” But the actual text of the bill demonstrates no such thing, beyond Watt’s casuistry in suggesting that the override power could only be rarely used. New section 157 of the reformed act would enable project proponents to write to the minister for the environment asking for a national interest exemption — correspondence that will rapidly become pro forma for every major project — that would enable the project to be approved even if it comprehensively breaches the environmental safeguards of the act. The minister must respond to such requests within 20 working days.

Better yet, the “statement of reasons” that Watt claims will accompany a decision that waves through a damaging project can be kept secret. After awarding a project national interest status, the decision must be published “together with the minister’s reasons for granting the exemption on the department’s website”. Except, the minister must not publish anything that’s a trade secret, business documents “to which access would, on balance, be contrary to the public interest” or anything “the minister believes it is in Australia’s national interest not to provide”.

More than a quarter of the National Press Club’s sponsors are part of the global arms industry or working on its behalf.

Is there anything wrong with taking my ssd with mint out of my desktop and slapping it in an old laptop? I actually tried it and it seems to have booted up perfectly. How does it know what drivers to use automatically? Its pretty sweet that it works this easily.

Can't make this shit up, reality is beyond satire at this point.

This is the same media talking head who argued against Labor's fibre to the premises national broadband network. Who then brown noses NBN execs to get his own house upgraded to Fibre as a higher priority than anyone else.

Copper for thee, fibre for me.

What the hell happened to the federal ICAC anyway. Still waiting for all the politicians who spent billions buying back Telstra's rotten copper to go to jail.

What do you call the belief that God's are just higher beings on other planes of existence while not believing in manmade organised dogmatic religons?

Id like to take my old windows laptop drive and image it so I can still use it in virtual box. For reference its a win 7 install on the drive.

Can I do this only using dd, and making the image an iso, and it will boot? Seems too easy!

Probably cuz I had too many brewskies at a Halloween party last night, but damn I be
