kids have cutters and scissors in their stationery kit and that is more dangerous than this toys. They way they presented the evidence make it look like they seized some meth factory and not “kids underestimated that printing toys that look like weapons and bring them to school is not a good idea”

The article writes as the two kids were printing the toys using the school 3d printer, a third saw what they were doing and wanted to report them, at that point they threatened him

The article actually said the kid was threatened because wanted to snitch

The docker image streams the app using vnc via the browser, which is inefficient and laggy

No, but the workaround is to let the launcher use a different config

We don’t have plans to support multiple accounts, but you can still run Heroic pointing to a different config folder by using the XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.config2 env variable. You could create a shortcut to something like XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.config-user-1 heroic to open Heroic for one user and XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.config-user-2 heroic to open Heroic for another user.

you can login in heroic once and then install what you need, and disable cloud saves as default option

with family sharing the DRM does not allow two people to play at the same time, don’t ignore this huge inconvenience

Why do you need family sharing if the games are DRM free? If the kid wants to play a game from your account you just pass him the exe, what’s the issue

Controller support depends from the game, if you mean a controller remapper like steam, then you either use a third party remapper or you simply add the shortcut in steam. With heroic launcher you can add gog games in your steam list with a single click

But there are many in American soil that are significantly cheaper than Walmart and similar. Of course if a commissary is placed in a base in Okinawa, in the middle of the ocean on the other part of the globe, then stuff is much more expensive

Which Microsoft Teams are you talking about?

The Microsoft Teams with the purple icon and white accent, or the Microsoft Teams with the white icon and purple accent?

Poor guy even got his ams with four rolls of pla confiscated ☠️

I can’t imagine getting a search warrant for toys in a teenager room.

The funding (valve paying crossover devs) has the focus on games, almost nobody is purchasing crossover for apps

For games it’s already better, I get a few extra fps on my low-end laptop with integrated graphics and the best part is that I don’t need to worry about games leaving traces/trash in the system as they are placed in individual prefixes

Wait, a steam game with vertical aspect ratio??

I asked my mom to tell me some plot, and I was like “wtf is that”

After 30 years of not giving a single damn about her biological son (Finn), Sheila, a convicted serial killer who escaped prison, suddenly becomes obsessed with seeing him every day.

After being told that she won’t be able to join the family of his son as a loving mother because everyone sees her as a dangerous murderer, she proves that’s not true by shooting both Finn and his wife, Steffy. Finn is pronounced dead and immediately cremated without an autopsy.

Steffy survives, so Sheila disguises herself as a nurse to finish the job in the hospital. She fails for 20 episodes, gets caught, and runs away.

Surprise! Turns out Finn isn’t dead. A “miracle doctor” saved him and forged a death certificate/cremation papers just because.

Sheila gets a genius idea to fake her death and escape prison: chops off her own toe, calls 911 screaming “A BEAR IS ATTACKING ME!”, and disappears. The police find the toe and some bloody clothes. Their professional conclusion? “The bear ate every single part of her except for this one toe with a suspiciously clean surgical cut. Case closed.”

They take over 100 episodes to realize that maybe a bear couldn’t have done a clean cut with the teeth.

The “criminal mastermind” still needs to stalk the son and decides to go to her victim’s favorite restaurant with an obvious disguise (classic wig+brown coat). Nobody recognizes her with the “80s classic spy Halloween costume” in a luxury restaurant but she accidentally wore open-toed sandals. Steffy notices the missing toe, calls the cops, and Sheila is arrested.

Everyone spends 100 episodes celebrating that she’s gone forever. Then, a judge vacates the sentence over a clerical error. Multiple murders, prison escape, attempted double homicide? Doesn’t matter. She’s free to go.

Steffy lives in a villa on a cliff where people have a habit of dying by “accidentally” falling down the cliff during fights. Sheila stalks her for hundreds of episodes until they fight and Sheila falls off the cliff. Again: no autopsy, immediate cremation.

Just as everyone is celebrating, someone remembers the body they just cremated had ten toes. But oops, too late, she’s already ash.

Imagine all of this stretched out over hundreds of episodes with 80% filler and characters repeating the same three sentences every day.

That movies are just excuses for Tom cruise to try the dangerous stunts

My mom stopped watching “the bold and the beautiful” for this exact reason. She was watching it from almost 40 years straight 😂

When I went to their house for lunch I could hear her shouting “what? Need to explain again the conversation from the beginning?? It literally happened just 5 minutes ago!! Noooooo! Can we just go forward with the plot instead of explaining what happened one minute ago??”

I watch one episode a month but indeed it’s annoyingly repetitive. Not even “second screen” but something like “muted TV in a dentist waiting room with subtitles in another language”

This is how my mom explained me why it is annoying:

Before: ** plot twist happens ** => viewer is shocked

Now:

1. for 15-20 episodes before the “plot twist” is supposed to happen, characters insert “if [plot twist] happens it will be very bad for us” in their speeches.

2. The bad guy is shown preparing the “plot twist” for another 15-20 episodes

3. For another 15-20 episodes the characters still mention randomly in their conversations how bad if the plot twist would happen in their lives and let everyone swear that no, they can never let the plot twist happen.

4. Obvious “Plot twist” happens in slow motion over the course of 5 episodes

5. Characters talk about how the “plot twist” impacted their lives for 15-20 episodes

6. After 30-60 episodes, when characters are gathered at a family reunion on the coach, start reminiscing how the “plot twist” was so shocking and unexpected

7. For the next 15 episodes every single person present at that family reunion including some random security guard really needs to retell the “plot twist” from their point of view

YouTube doesn’t have a search bar. It’s for requesting recommendations on the feed. Search an obscure singer once in your life? For the next 6 months he will be present in your feed.

If you need to do search you have to use newpipe or similar alternatives

Am I supposed to feel sorry for a billionaire that made money by hoarding a basic necessity?

It is exactly why I’m an apple hater, as an owner of an iPad mini and Intel iMac. Both are basically bricks.

The iPad can’t even be used to browse websites because Apple it’s so magnanimous to tie browser updates to the operating system. Once the os is EOL, the browser is EOL, and all the third party browsers too, as Apple forces devs to use the system browser as engine (= Firefox, Chrome for iOS basically are glorified Safari skins). Apps for iOS almost all require the latest version and you can’t download a previous version unless you have a Time machine and you press download before the cutoff. Imagine on Android if apps required Android 15 and greater. Instead most of them can still run on Android 10 and even earlier.

The iMac, despite being a 4th gen Intel with dedicated AMD GPU, it’s also a brick. Every app (including Firefox, Chrome, etc) requires a recent MacOS version (here devs aren’t targeting latest and greatest, but still is annoying). Of course Apple still ties Safari updates on the operating system. Imagine on PC if apps required Windows 11 24H1. Because newer versions of MacOS don’t have the driver for my dedicated GPU, they can’t be tricked to install a newer version (I tried, it’s unbearable to use MacOS without GPU acceleration, with all that eye candy it’s a must have)

At least the iMac could run a different operating system… Debian shows a black screen and I would need an external monitor, Arch somehow turns off the USB ports on the back and I can’t use keyboard and mouse… I have to use Windows 10…

In the GPU drivers
