Yeah I get the feeling a lot of people don't understand how crazy expensive virtualized desktops are.

You really don't go to it to save money. It's for standardization and security and it costs you. Then you're at the mercy of the company anyway. Just witness VMware now.

I'm not even religious but this just feels like reductionist BS. That and that you're projecting just a wee bit.

Are we in the same thread? Who is excusing this here?

Feels like a Friends reference but my mind is fuzzy. Young people here wouldn't ever get it if so.

Everyone conveniently leaves out he got them more sick days, etc. weeks later.

Make your point but let's at least involve all the facts.

Construction/remodeling going on inside but haven't heard anything.

Always loved the building.

Shout out to Cincinnati Curling Club (cincinnaticurlingclub.org)

Just want to say this place and the people are really cool. Went recently with a group for an outing.

  1. Had no idea there was a curling club in the metro to begin with so that's cool.
  2. All the people there were really cool and welcoming. They walked us through how to play (and safely) and were very helpful. Didn't matter if you had issues getting going or doing any of the "jobs"- they were there to help and make sure everyone had a good time.
  3. They actually have leagues and all that too if you want to keep doing it.

Not a part of their org but could honestly see myself doing some kind of league in the future. It's all non-profit so I think it all just goes to grow the sport and such in the region. Really nondescript location out in the middle of nowhere West Chester (reminds me of driving to Dogberry honestly) but ran by great people with a lot of enthusiasm for the project.

Highly recommend for a fun outing with like your work people or just a group of friends. I did not set it up (only attended) so couldn't tell you about setting it up but I'm sure they're easy to call/email and get it going. Link is in the post title.

What a saga. Feel bad for the players. And apparently LSU didn't learn anything from Brian Kelly.

Yeah well, clearly it wasn't fixed fast enough so we should vote back in the people that break everything. Or decide that we shouldn't vote at all like the lazy sacks of shit we are.

You make the mistake of assuming that someone makes it look nice for someone else and not themselves.

"Nearly a quarter of early voters had not voted in a Democratic primary at any point between 2012 and 2024."

Here you go folks- GET INVOLVED! Go vote! Every single election, especially primaries.

This is stupid. The president only can enact tariffs in the interest of national security. If these spineless fucks ever bothered to do their fucking job in the first place we wouldn't be here.

This is surely going to lower the price of eggs.

Amazing. You read an article about how shitty trump is and you immediately blame Democrats.

Honestly, I am siding with Linus here. Mainline is not the place for last minute changes without testing. And it seems Kent isn't going to change his methods, etc. That and the retort was pretty disrespectful.

I have high hopes bcachefs can be something great but... At its current rate it's going to flame out before reaching its potential.

Nightly mobile URL bar (sh.itjust.works)

Anyone else hate this? I don't want a dumbed down bar. If Im on the homepage, I want to know. Same as if I'm on a subpage.

This is in reference to Mozilla changing the URL to ALWAYS show only the domain. Absolutely terrible IMO. As for the double tall menu now? That is mostly fine.

At least give me an option to see the full url.

Unsure if this is the place to ask or not but figured it was closest to it.

Basically I am looking to make an AIO retro gaming PC. Main goal is to have one simple box hooked up to the TV so my friends and I can game without having to swap discs and consoles all the time. Would probably use mostly DS3 (or 4?) controllers hooked up with USB or via BT.

I know lemmy doesn't much care about piracy but this is all just to play games/consoles we legally own. Would include PS1-3, Nintendo, SNES, N64, Gamecube (think that is all we have).

I think https://batocera.org/ has been mentioned, Lakka (maybe this is more for pis?), and EmuDeck has been mentioned. Basically looking for the easiest distro to throw on a PC with a nice UI (can be launched via kb/mouse, all the same to me) that has the emulators built in and just needs the ROMs.
