Watched the trailer for the spinoff. Gives me dusk vibes.

Still, postal 2 will always hold a special place for me. That game was great.

Played 2 before 1, could never get into 1 after that. 2 is so good.

It's crazy how open the general population are on the internet.

Recently I tried to make a Facebook account with fake details just to get on marketplace since it seems to be the dominant platform these days. I almost had it done, then it said "ok prove you're human. We will need a 360 degree video of your head"

Uhhh no.

What a big ask. What a slam dunk for their platform.

Allegedly. Apparently the election was rigged. Or it wasn't. Or it was. Who the fuck even knows. Lol.

You're right, but somewhere along the way we all got used to the other way

They're fun, I think I have galaxy 1 on switch 1 with the 3d bundle or whatever.

But to AGAIN re-release old games and charge top dollar for it is crazy.

Emulate them.

I have an eerie feeling this will be the beginning of some sort of civil war.

What about interac? Could that also work?

Oh I see, so you would say someone who wanted to kill people can have good mental health? Interesting point of view.

Classic. This is why I shit up every school I ever went to.

/S

This has been disproven so many times. People with mental health issues shoot up schools.

 

I'm kind of surprised I've struggled with this so long. Right now I've been using nextcloud camera upload, and mostly it works ok but shits the bed once in a while without me noticing and I need to spend time fixing it and it's never as simple as turning it off and on again.

I recently tried syncthing, and while it works, it frequently crashed and got stuck in a state where it says it's on and working by my destination folder is shown as disconnected, and the options to restart syncthing from the side menu are greyed out and the only way to make it work again is by force closing it and reopening it.

I'm running vanilla stock Google Android and truenas, does anyone have a better solution?

 

The president is set to meet with corporate leaders on Tuesday, as concerns over his protectionist trade policies weigh on markets and the economy.

 

Members of Elon Musk’s secretive team reviewing federal agencies for cuts are refusing to reveal their full names to civil servants, federal employees say.

Several government workers who have been interviewed by Musk’s team about their work say the billionaire’s representatives declined to give their surnames and refused to answer any questions themselves, according to the New York Times. The lack of transparency surrounding the work of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency is only adding to mounting anxiety within the federal workforce, the report says.

Musk’s aides described the meetings with civil servants as “one-way interviews,” according to the Times. Some federal workers who have been interviewed were reportedly asked what they are working on and which of their colleagues should be fired.

“My impression was not one of support or genuine understanding but of suspicion, and questioning,” one General Services Administration staffer wrote in a message to colleagues about the interview process, according to the report.

Trump and his allies have taken over what was previously the United States Digital Service, now renamed the United States DOGE Service, which is being run by Musk and his team with the aim of radically reducing government expenditure.

DOGE has already taken over the Office of Personnel Management, the government’s human resources agency, which contains sensitive data including social security numbers.

It’s also gained access to the Treasury’s payment system which distributes trillions of dollars of government spending. Treasury officials say that any mistakes in managing these systems could lead to damaging consequences as severe as a federal default.

Musk has already targeted USAID, the federal agency that distributes foreign aid, for closure.

“We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper,” he posted on X on Monday.

Could gone to some great parties.

Musk, the world’s richest man, has brought about 40 people into government to carry out the work around the clock, even moving beds into offices near the White House to allow his team to sleep there and work on weekends, according to the Times.

The team includes several youngsters—including a teenager—none of whom have experience in government work. Some have previously worked or interned at Musk’s companies X or SpaceX.

Musk has previously lashed out at people online who identify members of the team, accusing people posting on X of undefined “crimes” for mentioning their names.

At least five people who have previously worked with Musk reportedly now have formal roles at the Office of Personnel Management, which runs the government’s personnel database, sources told the Times.

Last week, the agency sent emails to about two million federal workers inviting them to resign, using the same “Fork in the Road” subject line as an email previously used by Musk to fire employees in his takeover of Twitter in 2022.

Musk has also been seen visiting the General Services Administration, which manages billions of dollars worth of federal properties, with his son “X Æ A-12″ and a nanny, where he talked with the agency’s administrator about cutting half of its expenditure.

Members of the civil service have taken to using encrypted messaging apps to try and understand what is going on, expressing shock about the speed and breadth of Musk’s actions.
