personally i find kate struggles with large files. KWrite is a better analog to notepad IMO

it’s up to whoever comes after trump to mend bridges with europe, it’s a waste of diplomatic resources maintaining relations with trumps america

History being written before our eyes

Imagine if the republicans get wiped out in both houses and the dems have enough seats to overcome filibusters and make constitutional amendments.

Steam is DRM but is invisible enough that i haven’t pirated a game since i was a teenager.

As always Piracy is a service issue

I may be wrong but my understanding was 3 copies of the data, across two storage formats, with one offsite

Texas has been going purple for a while

You can mitigate against HDD failure with RAID and backups.

I have two 8TB HDDs in a RAID1 configuration. if one dies i can remove the dead one and add a new one to the array and the data will sync back across from the good drive. I also have two 10TB drives in rotation going to offsite storage. every now and again i backup my server to one of these drives, take it to the place i store them and swap them over.

Only thing i’m missing from the 321 rule is different mediums, considering the amount of data i’m dealing with though the cost of backing up to tape though was prohibitative

I dont like having DVDs everywhere.

if they offered DRM free paid downloads so i could give them my money and just host it myself i probably would give them my money.

but they don’t, so i sail

That assumes they still have the house and senate in 2028. If they’re going to do that they’ll do it before the midterms. Their majorities in both houses are razer thin, and the incumbent party almost always loses ground in the midterms. Trump wont allow them to hamstring them for his final two years in office

He ticks the old white guy box so the racists and sexists can feel okay voting for them while still being left enough to not be too much of a drag on the resulting administration

too far, i fear

The other car companies have pretty much caught up now anyway

I’d like to see Ukraine get Crimea back but it’s never going to happen. not without russias complete collapse at least

Bernie will be 87 in 2028. Unfortunately i think Bernies chance at the presidency has been and gone. AOC/Walz would be nice. Walz proved him self to be likable in the Harris campaign but he doesn’t have the profile that AOC does despite arguably having more experience

aye, but there were no Democratic primaries in the last election

I think this ignores just how uninspiring Hillary and Kamala were.

Neither really spoke to the working class

Sometimes it’s about learning to fix things more than it is about fixing the thing.

I regularly just take shit apart when it fails even if i have no intention of fixing it.

Yup, i was given a mug by my gfs family when we visited them in their country. it was a bit touristy, had the name of the country and some decals and stuff.

It’s a pure white mug now
