TBH only the willing captives are using VMware at this point

That's not true at all. As much as I love the grassroots support of alternative hypervisors and as much as I see VMware as a villain, we effectively utilize VMware for its performance which other hypervisors are not in the same league of. While Hyper-V and KVM have caught or arguably surpassed VMware for raw I/O on a single server, VMware still wins in distributed I/O and uptime over clustered servers.

don't ever EVER let conservatives gaslight you into thinking they give two fucking shits about election integrity.

What does this have to do with conservatives or gaslighting? I'm in Canada and providing our ID when voting in federal, provincial, or municipal elections isn't an issue here and it has nothing to do with a political alignment, it's just the standard way to vote and has been for as long as I've been voting in Canada... or any other country for that matter.

I 'walked into' Bluesky at the height of its popularity and immediately walked out; it was clearly a hyperpartisan platform that was meant to make people on the inside of that bubble feel good while making anyone on the outside feel bad with a barrage of partisan toxicity.

Over the years I've curated my Facebook and Twitter / X feed algorithm to provide content that's politically neutral, focused more on good vibes, family stuff, community events, etc., but on Bluesky even after attempting to adjust the experience it was still a case of, "if you believe this then your a fucking idiot and I won't talk to any family members who believe this." I used to think Twitter catered to a small segment of our population but Bluesky seems to cater to a fraction of the segment within that small segment.

I dunno if your statement is true. I'm a parent and advise other parents on using already available technology for this purpose, and I agree that parents that allow unfettered access to the internet have failed their children.

It doesn't actually take that much effort. It does take consistency, discipline, and the willingness to be the uncool parent.

For instance, when friends are over, since we do not implement our controls on their devices, any visiting device stays downstairs in the common area. It can be used only in that area. Interestingly, this rule has not changed that our house is the popular sleepover house, to the point where when people ask how many kids we have, I reflexively have to only count my own.

Lucky Goldstar is probably still making their own TVs, and that's why they are crap.

No, that's not true at all, some of LG's OLED panels are considered top-tier in the home entertainment enthusiast market and LG makes some of the highest quality panels around. For every panel I've purchased in my home their panels were on a short list of companies that were verified as offering true chroma 4:4:4 panels. Where some LG branded screens can be 'crap' is if the panels are made from AU Optronics (or AUO) or BOE Technology with the LG name stamped on the outside. Many of LG's own panels are the best in the industry.

Comment Did MAID bribe this through? (Score 1) 98

I ask because I'm Canadian and I believe MAID contributes a great deal of money to Canadian politicians and we have some insane laws here thanks to them, like police can come to your home and breathalyze you within 2 hours after you've already come home and police can force anyone and everyone to breathalyze regardless of any signs of inebriation.

Whatever happened to all the good stories/scripts?

In the past few years my wife and I have enjoyed Pluribus, Landman, A Man on the Inside, The Chair Company, Murderbot, all of which have very original scripts. Chad Powers was amusing. The Bear has its ups and downs. Severance was good. I've heard The White Lotus is pretty good but I haven't watched it yet. The problem is a lot of these are scattered on different platforms or you'll find a lot of good content on Apple TV but burn through it within a few months.

I've noticed that Amazon Prime Video is getting a lot of decent shows after they've done their rotation on their flagship network.

This man refused to provide fingerprints. What was the point of that? Did he think he would gain the trust of the police by being uncooperative?

It's possible this foolish man thought he was in the United States and protected by the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. Little did he know he's subject to Colonial rule. Ironic that this happens during a time when former colonies are celebrating Emancipation Day and Independence Day.

Despite very credible allegations, Biden was never convicted of raping raping Tara Reade. And his daughter's recollections of him inappropriately showering with her outlasted any statute of limitations. But I see where you're going, there. The rest is a good fit, right down to the weaponized government, for sure. The plot twist is that the real kingpins are behind the scenes, using him as a puppet. It's good villain story line material fresh from real life.
