Tucker was and is in the trade of packaging Russian propaganda as news

And much of the US "journalists" are in the business of packaging US propaganda as news. There is just as much propaganda - if not more - in general US news. Since the US likes to portray itself as hosting a free press, one would assume (if one were pretty naive, admittedly) it would be glad to have reporting on the Russian government's positions and communiqués.

lmao this is a CIA outlet:

The organization is chaired and run primarily by former senior United States intelligence and State Department officials. Laura Thornton, formerly of International IDEA, joined ASD as its new director in May 2021. Laura Rosenberger, chair of the American Institute in Taiwan and former senior director for China on the Biden administration's National Security Council, previously served as a director of ASD. ASD is housed at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and its work spans across both the United States and Europe

Even the fucking Washington Post (of all newpapers !) admits they're not exactly a source to be trusted.

Si, je pense qu'ils vendent les kindle (tous les kindle) à perte; et c'est en tous cas certainement vrai pour les kindle supportés par la pub.

Perso j'achete la liseuse amazon, la version avec pubs; puis je la jailbreak pour installer KOReader et virer toute référence à Amazon, dont les pubs.

Tu as le support de l'epub, un lecteur super, et tu fais perdre de l'argent à Amazon.

I did, years ago, it worked perfectly. This was when DX9 was an option for it though, but given since then dxvk / etc. came out the DX11 renderer should not be an issue. In fact I'd be surprised if the game didn't run as-is without any tweaks.

I suggest using the gog version. appdb suggests installing vcrun2010 might be needed but again, test beforehand.

These days the GNU rm specifically warns you and asks you to confirm before proceeding

One of the multiple lemmy newcomers that defederated from us; in their admins' words, because we apparently "deny certain genocides".

@suspended@lemmy.ml what "genocides" would those be exactly ?

How the fuck can a soldier see three unarmed people and feel threatened?

They didn't feel threatened, they assume every living person is the enemy and simply fire as soon as they see movement (including, sometimes, on their own). See: this is how we fought in Gaza (CW: horror).

What's the browser you're using ? and also please do:

glxinfo|egrep -i "^direct"

You're looking for a line that says "direct rendering"; specifically whether or not it says "yes". This will help pinpoint if you're actually using your GPU or some onboard chipset instead.

With that being said, even assuming you use the latter, stuttering video playback in the browser is weird; if using firefox, out of curiosity: try to disable or enable hardware rendering (options > advanced > general), and try again. Switch it back to what it was when your test is done.

Him and Guaidó could do an itinerant stand-up show in a few years

Make them an opener to those Shen Yun freaks or something

Kraken, also by Mièville, is also somewhat of a match; as well as Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.
