Don't use FTP!

SFTP 👍

No. It's not normal for a state's military to keep track of men like that.

Also, it's super sexist! Women serve in the military too. Why do they get to travel for as long as they want without having to register?

I want to know how this could even be practical. Are there that many German men spending 3+ months abroad that it's actually important to know where they are at all times?

"Oh shit! We need more men, specifically, in our military right the fuck now! Good thing we're keeping a weirdly detailed travel record of these (some stupidly small number in a nation of ~84 million), not-even-in-the-military dudes because... ???"

We need a simple regulation that mandates that all data centers must power themselves with renewable energy.

It'll fix sooo many issues. Not the water thing but that's a region-specific problem. Not everywhere has water shortages and not all data center designs use shittons of water (even AI data centers).

They shouldn't segregate straights and gays like this.

FANTASTIC! I love that 100% of the games I want to play work great without issue but what I love even more is the conveniences that Linux provides over Windows:

  • It is trivially easy to sync my configs/saves/game data across my network to different PCs with rsync -ave ssh (i.e. if I want to play on the big screen via the HTPC).
  • I can do the same with my phone using the FolderSync Android app (which supports sync over SSH just like rsync).
  • I can script stuff! Example: A lot of games (especially those with 3rd party mods) can be buggy AF and as a result of that, increase the possibility of corrupting my saves/game/world data. For these games I use rdiff-backup right there in the save/game/world directory every 10 minutes with say, 100 backups. Put that in a cron job and the worst that happens is I lose 10 minutes.
  • If the game has a server, chances are there's already a native Linux version which means I can run it locally on my PC in the background or just sync my whole game over to another of my Linux PCs and run it there. No need for complicated setups where you have to manage things across two completely different operating systems (like Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025 ahahaha; that's a joke poking fun at the Windows ecosystem if you don't get it 🤣).
  • I actually have the power to control where my sound goes on the fly and it actually fucking works (unlike Windows where you get to pick one device at a time and good luck keeping that one active if you have a Bluetooth audio device that likes to lose its connection from time to time... Ugh). You can actually do weird shit like send your audio over the network to a whole home's worth of PCs (or stream it over the Internet I guess) but I only ever did that once and man was it cool, haha. Still, it's nice to have the option (some open source dev worked really hard to make sure that works; and fantastically well too).
  • Multiple applications can use the GPU at the same time (if you're using Wayland) and that actually works properly. Unlike in Windows—where if you enable "hardware acceleration" in an app like Discord it can suddenly become slow AF scrolling when you've got a game open in the background.
  • You have vastly more control over gamepad/controllers in Linux than you do in Windows. In Windows—if your controller is detected properly (which hopefully doesn't require that you download a ~4GB of driver/bloat app bullshit)—you can test the buttons in the Settings/Control Panel. But that's all you can do. The X button is the X button is the X button. You want that button to send something else? You need sketchy proprietary 3rd party software for that! In Linux, you can do whatever TF you want with that button and there's several ways to do it (qjoypad gives you a nice GUI—right there in your distro's repositories for quick install).
  • No "You need to reboot your computer" popups in the middle of gaming/streaming!
  • You don't need sixteen bloated system tray/processes running at all times (slowing down your PC) to keep all your stuff working! If you use a Linux desktop for a few weeks then go back to Windows you'll get annoyed AF pretty fast at all those pop-ups, "Why did I put up with this BS?" 🤣
  • Privacy by default: HP, Nvidia, Dell, Logitech, Razer, and Microsoft can't see that you're playing that game that just got banned by MasterCard/Visa 🤣

Also—generally speaking—Linux is just more fun to use! Customize TF out of your desktop experience. The only thing stopping you is... you.

It's a 5.25" slot cover, duh! You've got three of them.

(Plus a hard drive with a vent, a 3.5-to-5.25" floppy adapter/bay drive, and a 5.25" floppy drive)

Oh I can explain this: You were born with a destiny that doesn't make sense anymore because the gods had to make some changes to the timeline. Sounds simple enough but some people have actually been given theirs or someone else's prophecy so now they have to make it happen... Somehow.

To resolve this situation they often have to come up with clever solutions to make sure the prophecy still happens in a way that the (new) timeline can handle. Such as "experiencing plague" and "getting caught rolling with a naked woman in public".

Market shows that hype is a cycle and the AI hype is nearing its end.

I think we can all agree: Ending no-fault divorce will result in violence. Regular, continuous violence.

...which is why conservatives so adamantly support it.

You know things are bad when fucking Scientific American is saying that Trump's plans are essentially a grander version of Hitler's and that the Republican party is just like the Nazis.

The problem with that argument is that the 14th amendment doesn't require any findings of guilt (by a court of law). It only requires that the individual "engaged" in insurrection:

shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

A court of law (Colorado Supreme Court) found that Trump did engage in an insurrection against the United States. From the perspective of the 14th amendment, he was found guilty in a court of law.
