How is that even admissible in court? It’s worse than hearsay, it’s madeupsay.

If your honour pleases, we have used AI to turn this child’s crayon drawing into the defendant pleading guilty! I’ll allow it.

For fucks sake.

And then they get to stand around saying “Why do they hate American so much? It must be because we have freedom!”. This has the lead up to 2001 written all over it.

We’re trying very hard to make the world a hostile place, but climate change won’t really kick in until the next generation.

This. I will forgive most driving indiscretions if I see a wave/acknowledgement of wrongdoing.

A military coup to keep a dementia-ridden, kiddy-fiddling, lying, raping felon in power will be one of the fuck-dumbest things to occur in the modern history of this planet. Can’t wait to watch it play out.

The Pinto became so renowned not because it easily blew up, but because people found out Ford had calculated the cost of payments to victims’ families and worked out it was cheaper than recalling all the vehicles and fixing the problem. Capitalism has been alive and well for at least the last 50 years.

TIL gubernatorial is a word. Adj of or relating to a governor.

I can see some gaps that could have been filled with more people!

When I was a kid the CIA (and FBI for that matter) seemed like some magical force that was impossible to go against. Now I’m an adult I see the CIA as a massively expensive meddling influence that will do long-term massive damage to a country often for short-term gains. They truly are one of the biggest terrorist organisations on the planet.

What? If the country looks after the population, the population will look after the country? That would never work! You know, except for the various countries where it provably does work…

Alcohol also being a drink to avoid when going to a pool.

He probably went to another country and killed people. HOWEVER, if that’s true at least there’s a decent chance those people were armed and facing him, not pinned to the ground and shot in the back.

This is the bit that makes no sense to me. Wouldn’t a UK version of an FBI just be… the police?

So long as no one is focussing on Epstein, thats the main thing.

Thanks, I see Bottles lets you use Proton as a runner so I’ll give that a try.

It Not an Emulator all the way down.

The closest I’ve come to getting it to work was SketchUp Make 2017 (the last of the free versions). I could get it to install using WINE but as soon as I ran it it would crash out saying I was not supporting graphics acceleration. Right now I’m trying to install SketchUp Pro 2021 using Bottles and just keep getting Invalid Handle errors all through the installation, mostly when it seems to be looking for certain KBs for Windows 7 and 8 I think. I have to dig through the Logs to hopefully find I’m missing a dependency somewhere.

To answer your question I’m running Linux Mint and have an AMD Radeon 7970XTX that is more than capable.

I know, but web app versions of just about everything suck nuts.

This is great, but does it handle GPU acceleration yet? The main thing I still need Windoze for is SketchUp and I have never managed to get it to work because I get a GPU acceleration error. Any hints would be welcome.

The main difference, and really only hope at this point, is ICE appear to be pretty indiscriminate in their application of violence. If it was more targeted I’d be more worried, but at this point it seems their managing to piss off a majority of people.
