What kind of programs would benefit most from being ported to retro consoles?

Obviously Doom.

My God if I have to listen to my mother in law brag about how good of a “deal” her $10 (made up “retail”, $26) Tommy Bahama hand towels from TJ Max were one more time…

Lemmy and snarky references back to Reddit like that ex-girlfriend you’ve “totally moved on from”

Yeah, for me, I’m looking for prettier not fastest after 120 Hz or so

This somehow makes me less trusting of the previous comment.

Great insight, really contributing to the community

I used to have a hard mousepad, because I thought it was “cool”, but in retrospect it was basically no different than just using my desk would have been. They’re noisy, and 99% of them just give off edgy gamer vibes.

Cheap neoprene (or similar) mousepads are all about the same in terms of performance, but pricier ones typically look better and may last a little bit longer.

Recently I’ve upgraded my setup to a wool one from here: https://grovemade.com/desk-and-mouse-pads/

Its been about a year and I still love it, but I will note that I can see how the slightly rougher texture could be a turnoff for some people. They do have other options with different natural materials you may be interested in. IMO, all of their options look classy AF, and I like the use of more natural materials

Something something pot kettle.

Or even better, my experience with them - they can permanently mark you as poor when the person who stole your identity in the last data beach (Thanks Experian!) doesn’t make their monthly payment, thus tanking your credit while you’re entering escrow on your first home.

Thanks AT&T, now my stolen information I never even gave you is probably back on the black market! The cycle continues.

I think, regardless of where you’re donating from, this means less overhead and your money goes a little bit farther on the charity’s side, which is a win for everyone.

You’re right though that it’s not tax deductible for you, so the amount you can donate does not change, just the effectiveness of those dollars.

why are they ‘going away from being a 501c3?

You’ve got it backwards. They’re dissolving their old non-501©(3) Foundation that they use to manage their finances currently, and becoming a part of an existing 501©(3) called Software in the Public Interest (SPI)

TL;DR from the article, they’re doing this to:

1. Offload the overhead expense of independently managing their finances/accounting, by merging with someone who already has a robust system in place
2. Save money by becoming tax exempt
3. Allow themselves to accept matching gifts from donors whose employers support such things

This may be my unicorn, going to test out some time in the coming weeks! Thanks for the suggestion, stranger!

Google Keep

My wife and I use it all the time for things like grocery lists, packing lists, etc. It’s nice to be an able to collaborate in real time on a checklist, and I haven’t found an app that can replicate that convenience.

But your position in line is assigned. When they ask the A group to line up and the Bs start hovering they’re not accomplishing anything.

As you can read in line 35,863 of the Terms of Service you agreed to:

Fuck you you fucking piece of shit. We own you, all of your data, your computer, and your first born child. Just fucking try and sue us. Were worth a trillion fucking dollars, what are you worth? $150,000 of student loan debt for that degree you don’t even use? When we say jump you jump. When we say uninstall the software, you uninstall that fucking software. Capiche?

Have you played with PowerToys on Windows? It has some extra tools for playing with window tiling

They definitely can dictate requirements, however that means that you’re now making your staff play document format police.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, just that it’s an additional headache. If I were working in that office, I’d die a little inside each time I have to go back to a consultant/contractor/community member and say “can you please resubmit this, the formatting is broken when I open it in Libre Office”

Yes, again, they have the authority to do this, and it is technically feasible, but it’s going to be a bad user experience for a long time until everyone is properly “retrained”. Especially if you’re working with partners outside of Germany who have their own document standards.

I’m not saying this is a bad move, just that I understand why they might be inclined to jump back and forth.

Oh, cool, so I can have multiple people editing a live document at the same time?

Definitely could be both, but I’d posit that it would still happen regardless of corruption, just because they’re taking on the ambitious task of trying something new.
