In particular, the companies purchase financial information from a data broker before offering a nurse a shift; if the nurse is carrying a lot of credit-card debt, especially if some of that is delinquent, the amount offered is reduced. "Because, the more desperate you are, the less you'll accept to come into work and do that grunt work of caring for the sick, the elderly, and the dying." That is horrific on many levels, he said, but "it is emblematic of 'enshittification'", which is one of the reasons he highlighted it.

What the ACTUAL FUCK‽ This is the type of shit Neal Stephenson would put in a fucking cyberpunk dystopia novel. I am filled with so much fucking rage. My sister is a nurse and goes through so much fucking bullshit at her job already. Nurses really do not need more shit thrown at them.

I knew I had heard of this game, but I couldn't remember its premise. For anyone else like me:

THE LONG DARK is a thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster. There are no zombies -- only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.

I mean, I would put their ARM boxen on par with their PowerPC stuff in terms of proprietary-ness.

For anyone else who doesn't know what this is:

This is my build of Proton with the most recent bleeding-edge Proton Experimental WINE.

Things it contains that Valve's Proton does not:

• Additional media foundation patches for better video playback support
• AMD FSR patches added directly to fullscreen hack that can be toggled with WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1
• FSR Fake resolution patch details here
• Nvidia CUDA support for PhysX and NVAPI
• Raw input mouse support
• 'protonfixes' system -- this is an automated system that applies per-game fixes (such as winetricks, envvars, EAC workarounds, overrides, etc).
• Various upstream WINE patches backported
• Various wine-staging patches applied as they become needed

Right hand rule should be taught to every child. Fuck this whole "righty tighty" shit.

Just saying, you can absolutely hit something 500+ meters away with iron sights. Heck, I've personally done so at 900 meters. I'll grant that I was prone, however.

CNC—computer numerical control, where a computer makes the cutty/smushy/printy parts move through meatspace.

There's also OnShape if you're okay with all of your stuff being publicly available. I bounced off of FreeCAD as an Inventor user, but OnShape was pretty painless for me. FreeCAD is the better option because it's FOSS and not SaaS garbage, but being able to avoid a Windows VM made OnShape seem worth it to me.

But k3s so niiiice.
