Officer: Why am I an asshole?
DA: I'm the Monroe County DA

She also offered a lame apology. I'm sure she would have skewered someone else who acted like that, including charging them for running from the police.

She sucks. I hope she's going to be pushed out of office.

This list is so bad, it has to be a troll.

Ah yes from the party who constantly whines about their first amendment rights being 'violated' on social media fires librarians for speaking out against actual censorship from the government.

I accidentally overwrote /etc/passwd once and I allowed /boot to run out of space during a kernal update and I created a local user with the same user that was also on the realm/domain that I had joined and various bash script issues.
Some stuff I've had to fix that someone else did:

• named a file rm -rf
• rm -rf /bin instead of ./bin -- Also the fact that they had sudo was crazy and also I guess this was the second time
• chmod -R 777 /
• Various software bugs running swap out of space or hitting the inode limit by creating files over and over again with a timestamp in the filename and having to remove all of them because there was no backup to the OS
• Someone disabled SELinux because something wasn't working but didn't tell anyone -- ugh
• Compiled java because they googled some issue and followed some old tutorial without understanding anything instead of using alternatives and symlinked the old java from /bin to /home/theiruser/java -- had sudo because he was a Windows domain admin.
• Cybersecurity guy didn't know what some VMs did so he turned them off and figured he'd find out if/when someone complained. Caused a massive core services outage.
• Same Cybersecurity guy deleted a bunch of data because he wanted to see how the sysadmins would respond and witness backup restorations. He did not inform anyone.
• Cybersecurity guy above still has Domain Admin and sudo everywhere. I would have personally removed his privileged access regardless of what 'CyberSecurity' management thought but I was leaving for a new job by then anyway so I figured I'd just let them eventually lie in the bed they made.

There's more but I don't want to keep going because it is Sunday and I don't want to ruin it.

You can use Gnome Boxes to give you a front-end for KVM/qemu like VB. With the spice-webdavd package, you can share files similarly to the guest or send files directly to it.

As far as Samba goes, it is just a FOSS implementation of Microsoft's SMB. Just like with Windows, you'll have to open Explorer to the IP/Hostname of your Samba server or I guess have both join the same workgroup with the same name on the same subnet.

A 30% cut for steam games sold on steam and a 0% cut for steam keys sold by the publisher wherever they want with the caveat that they must give steam users the same sales at around the same time. They get their games hosted on Steam's industry best CDN, a page with support for images and videos, an API with features users like, workshop API for mod hosting and delivery, and other SteamWorks API stuff for stuff like multiplayer, patch management without charging a fee for it, forum hosting to hit the highlights. Pretty much all of that drives engagement and is mostly turn-key though you do have to programmatically interact with their API when it makes sense.

Steam provides a lot of benefit for a 30% cut of what is sold on their store front and a lot more benefit for getting all of the above for a 0% cut if they sell steam keys outside of steam.

I think another issue is that Tesla isn't seen as an innovator in the EV market or even the automotive industry as a whole anymore. There's also the production quality issues. Musk doesn't seem to be spending enough attention on solving even these issues over the years.

If the Tesla Semi-Trucks fail (and I think that they probably will fail after the initial orders are met) Tesla is going to have a serious problem if Musk remains at the helm and at least the big investors are probably thinking the same thing. It'll just be another Cybertruck fiasco.

I suppose it could also be argued that Musk tends to say things that may alienate his demographic while embracing those that are more likely to want to drive rolling coal modded trucks but I think that's just a smaller piece to the bigger problem. Another piece is probably that people are starting to see that he isn't some genius.

tldr;
The big problem, I think, is that people just don't trust Tesla and they don't want to pay a premium for shit quality EVs that have nothing to really write home about versus the competition and Musk just doesn't seem to be trying to put a lot of energy into solving that.

You can tell this was probably illustrated by an older person or for older people because what kids actually watch TV and what kids even know what rabbit ears are in the US? And that screen is poking out like it's an old CRT with it's big ass hanging out like its trying to exhaust enough heat to cause the heat death of the universe by itself.

If someone told me this came out in the 70s or 80s I'd believe them.

Q Files -- The Truth is not on 4Chan

I think they know the land owner isn't going to actually lose in this but I think this is the developer's intent to get the court to assign liability portions to everyone and order whatever the path to remediation is going to be. Their hope is likely that they won't be on the hook for 100% of whatever its going to cost to make the land owner whole since she probably wants the house off her lot completely, wants the land returned to as it was before and isn't budging. Then there's the complication of having to evict the squatters at the same time.

I was a huge fan of X-COM from the 90s. I saw it in some magazine with a couple of screenshots and knew I would love it. I went to my local Media Play (basically like the proto-Best Buy before Best Buy) and they didn't have it but their selection of PC games was large enough I went to the counter to have them look it up in case I missed it. I didn't. But they'd order it for me. So a week later I had X-COM: UFO Defense/Enemy Unknown.

I loved it. It was hard but I loved having multiple bases, being invaded as part of the sandbox experience and the tactile stuff you could do. I love how you could destroy almost anything and the strategies you could do for that. Like if there's an alien you can't see on the second floor of a farm house but you can see the shots coming from there? You can just toss in an incendiary grenade in there and it'll burn down the floor and spread. Maybe the alien panics and runs out. Maybe it falls through the floor. Maybe it burns to death.

Yes a first turn wipe with an alien grenade in the sky ranger sucks. but it kind of does add to the charm....after the fact when you think back on it later. Dumb civilians are dumb.

The pixel art is fantastic and you can really see it shine in the city maps with all of the cool details.

The biggest downside to the OG is that you can easily fall behind because there was essentially a static clock. You could doubly feel this because of the quick lack of funding as your funding lowers and nations leave. It would have been cool for those nations to try to fight back if they left you due to you ignoring them, even if that meant that the forces may be hostile to you if you happen to be fighting on the same turf or something.

X-COM 2 was more of the same but underwater with some bug fixes. X-COM 3 was different and I could see myself liking it if it was actually finished and focused on either real-time or turn-based.

When the XCOM reboot came out I thought I was going to hate it, especially with the simplified movement but it was great and even better with the expansion. The only thing I didn't like was having to overwatch my way through at the beginning or risk losing a lot of people. The system of pods was also annoying. Also not being able to re-take nations after defeating the alien bases unmodded was annoying. Having basically "XCOM but bad guys" was also really cool to go along with the exosuits.

XCOM 2 was better, including with its expansion. I thought I'd hate more timed missions but it does force you not to overwatch all the time and in XCOM 2, you really don't need to, even early on. Fantastic game. Being confined to one base was OK but I do prefer multiple bases but it made sense in the story and was still pretty cool. I have to always have three mods though: Evac All so I can just click one button to evac everyone in the square instead of going through each one-by-one; the one that makes the zombies equal chance to attack aliens, mostly for immersion; and lastly the mod that makes the rebels actually be armed and not be super dumb though they can still be really bad shots with really crappy guns, also mostly for immersion.

I hope XCOM 3 adds underwater and hope it just reboots again or does something very interesting with interstellar travel.

Really I would like them to treat XCOM like they do Civilization. Instead of a continuation of a story that will eventually be terrible, just keep revising the game every time but don't do the Civ thing and release it again but hold back features from the last one just to be able to put them in a DLC later.

Yeah I know but that's like blaming a copying machine for facilitating trade secrets because it copies the cipher text printed on paper. It doesn't decipher it. Someone still has to have the cipher key(s) but they're still blaming the copying machine.
