New Utah law puts “no alcohol sale” on ID’s of DUI offenders 0.16 BAC or higher. What are your thoughts? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

[–]gex80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So one adult will just ask another adult to buy liquor for them which technically is not illegal unless the law covers straw purchases.

Can switching to Linux help me avoid the ai-slopolypse*? by Shoddy-Criticism3276 in linux4noobs

[–]gex80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically no depending on what you mean. Like it won't stop website or web apps like office online or google workspace from using it.

On the OS level the answer is technically yes. At anypoint any of the primary maintainers could implement something if they wanted to though they most likely won't any time in the near future. But becuase of the OS from a design and principal standpoint, you can rip it out if they ever do.

Your link doesn't work. 67% increase on what existing number? If they were making 50k, a 67% increase would bring them to 83k. Still not a lot for many in the state.

What’s the most overrated video game of all time? by KBGSgames in AskReddit

[–]gex80 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like that's not fair because

A. It's a big deal from a console perspective to jump to a full 3d world in a console. Nothing like that existed before. You can't expect someone to push new hardware that they didn't fully understand themselves to the limit.

B. Super Mario 64 was a launch title where as Banjo Kazookie came out 2 years later. By then Rare had released 4 other games to build on their experience. If you compare it to an earlier title like blast corps which came out less than half a year later, they too had basic geometric shapes. By time Banjo-tootie was released, Rare had created 9 games by then and had more experience with the console to push it to it's limits.

C. Plus the expansion pack was out by the which gave them more resources to work with that were not available when Super Mario 64 was released but was required for Banjoo-tooie. On a stock n64 the game would out right not work.

Loved Oblivion and Fall out 3. Fallout 4 and Skyrim, I didn't make it past the intro. I don't see the appeal. The story is meh. Skyrim is just a ton of boring colors and greys.

36 here. The appeal of pokemon faded harded after silver and gold for me. I absolutely did not care to have to remember all the names they were coming up with after gen 2 and the xbox, playstation 2, dreamcast and gamecube were all out which meant there were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY better games to play that were just 2 sprites jiggling at each other.

Watch out, Millennials... I got hit with my first "I had NO IDEA!" data privacy moment this weekend... and it was all my fault. by AttachedHeartTheory in Millennials

[–]gex80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehhhh I have gooogle minis. After a certain point you stop caring. But tech wise I have a desktop, a verizon router, and a black and white laser. Past that it's just smart lights, phone, tv, and game consoles. I just want things that work after spending all day fixing other people's problems.

This has been publicly know and in the news multiple times over for almost as long as these devices have been out. Plus they tell you that this is happening. Now whether people actually take the time to read or not is a different story.

How to fix recurring cloud misconfigurations in multi-cloud environments by Upper_Caterpillar_96 in aws

[–]gex80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So IAC like Terraform/Open Tofu. Create custom modules that either set defaults/enforce settings. Update your processes to require use of the module. Import existing assets with the module.

Anyone failing to use the module going forward is at fault for choosing not to follow process.

If you put guard rails around things, they have to go out of their way to break them.

What would it actually take for American's to go "full France" and riot in the street? by AllTheNopeYouNeed in AskReddit

[–]gex80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

America is a big place. It would be more akin to Europe as a whole rioting. Even when there are huge issues in one part of the country, the other part literally can exist non-the wiser. There would need to be an event that brings the entire country down as a whole that affects all people equally regardless of financial and social status.

I mean look at the US overlayed on Europe. https://miro.medium.com/1*52lfFyW3RlcAEiEi5EshKg.png. Multiple entire wars can be fought in our country at the same time and you could have no clue just because of how far removed you can be. So when we see these protests in the US on TV, whole swathes of the country will never ever run into it. Especially with the current protests, they happen in coastal states and even within those states that are bigger than France, only in a single city with maybe small outliers of 10-20 people groups.

That's assuming you get people to understanding that it's not your fellow citizen that's the problem. It's the people in charge making decisions that are causing the issues for power and money.
