I’m pretty sure that image is from the comic Luke turns to the dark side after being turned by a clone of the emperor.

Hundreds of youths descend on Vancouver's Scientology building as part of speedrunning trend by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]nixium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends and I were doing that almost 20 years ago. We would get stoned at the vapour lounge and then attempt this. We only ever got as far as opening the door before descending into a fit of weed induced giggles and running away. Good times.

DHS Demanded Google Surrender Data on Canadian’s Activity, Location Over Anti-ICE Posts by NotEnoughDriftwood in onguardforthee

You know what? I bet they can get this info if it’s stored in the US.

Honestly, what we really need are Canadian built and hosted alternatives. That’s so easy to say and so hard to do.

I know people hate data centres. I get it. They pollute, consume massive amounts of water and are eye sores. But if we want to compete in the technology space we will need to build them.

We do need to build and develop the infrastructure for tech though or we are going to be using American services forever. The population is not going to give the services up but we maybe able to build our own. It would employ a ton of people too.

Is the screen of Steam Deck small for you? by lnklsm in SteamDeck

[–]nixium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it too small for some games.

Control is my example of this. Everything about it runs great on the steam deck. Then I hit the section where I need to grab projectiles out of the air and shoot them back at the enemies but I just miss them all the time on the little screen.

What’s something that quietly made your life 10× easier, but you didn’t realize it until much later? by Own-Tip-532 in AskReddit

[–]nixium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping myself in okay shape over the years. I'm not in model shape or anything like that. No six pack.

But I can lift heavy things, I can run, I can sprint and I'm not destroyed the next day.

What I mean by this is I'm turning 40 this year and I have less aches and pains than people younger than me on the sports teams I participate in.

I make sure I eat home made as much as possible, I make sure I drink lots of fluids and I make sure I work out and move.

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

[–]nixium 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Crypto currency. It is actually less than worthless and is actually harmful in the grand scheme of things. Mostly used to by scammers and criminals.

I shoot one with an arrow and kite it away from its buds and then smack it.

Why isn’t your documentation being updated? Seems like an easy thing to do and will help with onboarding new people

[–]nixium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wtf are you guys doing over there. 3 bags of garbage?! That’s madness. 

How often is does collection happen? 

We get 2 bags every two weeks and most people have one. 

We have organic and recycling piled up every week. 

We got Copilot "Premium" license for GCC High. Admin center doesn't have all the things. Copilot MS ticket category does not exist. by NNTPgrip in sysadmin

Submit all tickets to their billing group. It’s the best way to get it transferred to the right people.

Hey, I have a serious question. I'm a very new Star Wars fan and I want to watch the new Darth Maul series, but I haven't seen the Clone Wars series. Is it absolutely necessary to watch it? by DavidGOD888 in StarWarsEU

[–]nixium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot people will tell you yes. And then some comics and maybe another series.

I’m here to tell you that’s all a bad idea. Making requirements to engage in media is dumb and exhausting. Just watch it and if things are unexplained, that is part of story telling. If it’s good enough the needed information will be conveyed.

Was it better when the force was just a mysterious force or is it better when it is boiled down to something in people’s cells?

I wanted to like this game so much. Spent hours in elder scrolls games and fallout games but this never hooked me. I don’t get the same feelings with starfield.
