If every single local tells you to gtfo and applauds the arsonists, its time to go. You're an anti-gun corporation, not a heavilly armed black family with a right to live wherever they please ... and I'm only not telling that family they should listen to anyone about anything because its not my place.

That's right, the gun thing's a red herring for once, but the strongly-worded advice stands.

You never paid attention to the screens above the line for the self checkouts? You can see the system isolating faces and gait in real-time.

Not that hard to stop wayland or xorg at the launch of a given application and restart it at that application's exit. Of course, I only did it on the Raspberry Pi because the hardware lagged horribly running such apps with a gui/compositer/desktop the app wasn't using in the background, but it wasn't hard for me to get working, and its exactly how we did things with DOS apps and even some Windows games back in the WFWG 3.11 days.

Basically, there's no technical reason the host operating system should have to be providing say X, KDE, Plasma, Gnome, Gk, Wayland, whatever, to a flatpack app that needs those things. Yes, the result is a larger flatpack, but that's why flatpack's do dependency consolidation.

Unless ... Unless, you just really want to to run your games windowed with smooth window-resizing, minimization, maximization, etc.

The point of flatpack is supposed to be that it takes care of ALL dependencies. So you're saying it doesn't deliver on that promise?

For the record, Amazon owns AbeBooks. Buy from just about anywhere else.

I won't say every man has an inner creep lying in wait for the "right" kind of potential S.O., but I will say the world would be a better place if more of us picked "hardened bitches/ass-holes that will straight-up kill you if you look at them funny" as the only people its "safe"(just not for the man) to let that inner creep out around.

Why they let us live, I do not care to know.

I have a TV with a WHITE LED that does this and we have to wait for it to boot. Luckilly, no one sleeps on the livingroom couch enough for this to matter.

"green" firms

Through the warped lense of what modern security theater has sold their leaders on? Sure, why not?

Step one to being a Bounty Hunter: have no warrants or serious criminal charges/convictions of your own.

Step two: Avoid crossing jurisdictions at all costs.

Step three: survive a free person yourself long enough to realize that being a repo-man is far safer or at least less likely to get you extradited for all those times you broke rule two. Maybe you'll even survive this long enough to graduate to Security Guard, Body Guard or an even more legitimate profession like literally anything else.

Side note: most of these people would still make better cops than most cops. The Dead in "Dead or Alive" is almost never profitable any more.

... and using that as an excuse to remove passenger capacity when they should be expanding it.

... and removing options from those versus the ICE versions. In my case, removing the front-row middle seat option from the F-150 Lightning took that sonofabitch off my preferred next-vehicle list. Can't fit my whole family? Don't want it.

Mock me for having a large family that restricts my choice in vehicles, but consider: I could just buy what I want and cart them everywhere with two+ vehicles like our neighbors and extended family do with their large broods.

There is no up-shot to removing passenger capacity from a vehicle. Not when so many EV's have a got-damn Frunk.
