And even if you don’t fuck it up, the creditor is profiting off you anyway because of the transaction fee they charged the vendor.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Valve Developer Further Improves Old AMD GPUs: HD 7870 XT [2012] Finally Working On LinuxEnglish
12·3 hours agoThis title is not accurate. The GPUs worked on Linux already, but only with AMD’s old proprietary RADEON driver. The news is that they are now supported by the Free Software AMDGPU driver.

Casual Conversation@piefed.social•Took my wife's car key to JapanEnglish
12·6 hours agoAre my wife and I weird for each having our own set of keys that we keep with us at all times, as opposed to communal keys that we take only when we need them?
If I were going on a plane trip, I’d put my key in the car ignition and drive to the airport (because I’m the one who drives when my wife and I are together, out of habit), turn the car off, put my keys in my pocket, and then my wife would put her key in the ignition to drive home.

2·1 day agoI mean, I was overstating my case a little bit. To be fair, Riker and Boimler are the only actual examples we have of it (at least by that particular method), and Rutherford’s bet was more about that sort of wacky situation being “a Boimler kind of thing to happen” (possibly paraphrased).
But you see, externalized profits don’t count. Externalities are for losses only.

The direct answer to the question “Is Star Trek: Lower Decks canon?” is yes. And that’s because the creator — Mike McMahan — has said its canon, and the show actually bends over backwards to make canonical references.
So yeah, everything from the Pakled war to that stupid toy “SPOCK” helmet is canon now.

6·2 days agoI know he’s the most important person in Starfleet history, but even so, I find it sus that he could do in two weeks what the starship designers couldn’t figure out at all with essentially unlimited time and resources. Surely their “miracle worker” engineers aren’t all in deep-space postings on starships or space stations, right?

news@lemmings.world•RFK Jr. Says Every Person Who Lost Health Insurance Is IllegalEnglish
5·2 days agoThey also talked about deporting 100 million people. There aren’t that many non-citizens in the entire country.
So when RFK Jr says that every person who lost their insurance is illegal, what he means is that folks low enough on the socioeconomic ladder to have lost your insurance are being made illegal and will end up counted among that 100 million, even if you’re natural-born citizens. Defend yourselves accordingly.

11·2 days agoNot quite. The low burden job was what he’d already been doing after Wolf 359, starship design at Utopia Planitia (working on the Defiant, which is why he knew about it). Reassigning him to DS9 was his CO’s attempt to kick him out of that rut and get his career back on track, and he almost resigned over it.

The Defiant was what Sisko was working on between Wolf 359 and getting command of the station. Of course he wanted it!

World News@quokk.au•U.S. Navy’s Sole Supercarrier Near Iran Endures Severe Food Shortages as Logistics Disrupted
4·2 days agoWhat the fuck? Logistics was supposed to be the thing the US military was best at!
Obviously I’m mad about the imperialism and the strategic blunders and whatnot too, but damn, just the sheer incompetence in the aftermath of Hegseth’s partisan purge (revealing its scale) leaves me flabbergasted. And this is something that they’re presumably trying to do well (as opposed to domestic agencies deliberately being run into the ground to “prove” they “don’t work”)!

Tap for spoiler
John DeLancie and Weird Al both guest starred in My Little Pony, with DeLancie’s character “Discord” being an expy of Q and Al’s character “Cheese Sandwich” being a cameo of himself as a pony. Too bad they never appeared in the same episode, AFAIK.
