Image files can contain thumbnail exif data. Basically the thumbnail isn’t created on the fly every time its needed, it’s a second image in the same image file. Some software doesn’t edit that exif data when it edits the image, so you can end up with a mismatch like this.

Try a different image editor

Second protontricks.

Also, when you open random exes with proton tricks, it will give you a list of existing proton instances. If you have a decent steam library already using proton, it’s going to be a list of installed games. If a game on there uses the dll that you need, you can just pick that game and you don’t need to setup anything, it already is.

I asked Google for a list of games that use directx9c, and it gave me Fallout: New Vegas, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Portal (early builds/legacy render paths), Left 4 Dead 2, and Mirror’s Edge. L4d2 is free I think, so you can just install this game then run your game through that proton instance. Zero headache.

This probably has some hidden caveat I’m not aware of, I’m just trying to play games.

I’m going to eat a whole jar of this seasoning straight just to exercise my freedoms

The tracking is happening on your mobile phone. That’s where mobile apps go.

It sees where you go when you don’t have a car.

It sees what public transit you use.

It sees how all sorts of habits are altered without a car.

They will probably find new ways to A/B test the shit out of you too. I’d rather test new medications for cash than be a part of unregulated behavior studies ran by psychopaths.

Metro has partnered with GoCarma, whose mobile app automatically tracks travel behavior and odometer readings — making participation easier than ever.

There’s the fun part. They’re going to track the shit out of you and your car. Whether you successfully earn that $600 or not, they’re going to hoover up your data and sell it for more.

I think when you export your Google account data you have options on how it will split your Gmail across mbox files, and I think you can pick an option to split it by labels/folders.

According to the report, Ukraine also suggested using SpaceX’s military-grade Starshield network if Musk refuses to authorize Starlink, although Ukrainian officials said Starshield would be more expensive and harder to integrate into existing drone systems.

This is in the linked article. Kyiv Post and UA officials disagree that they’re essentially the same, and they want starlink.

I’m all for giving Ukraine this type of capability, but tying the capability with a civilian product name has massive risks that used to mostly just be theory until wildberries warehouses started exploding. I just checked Amazon, there’s a LOT of starlink for sale on there.

In a long winded, hand wavey way, Elons massive need to be the center of attention makes your local amazon distribution center a legitimate military target with deals like this.

Wait…wait. yes let’s do this.

I just don’t talk to what Zuckerberg refers to as “dumb fucks”

It’s seriously so self fulfilling. Markey mark made it so easy to not be a dumb fuck. It’s literal actual written instructions on how to not be a dumb fuck. Millions fail the written instructions.

This will honestly be some guys excuse to get a lifted truck. Why can’t they just put in jersey barriers like normal civil engineers. Even crazier idea, actually design bike infrastructure instead of some awkward mini barrier in the middle of a road

My previous employer upgraded everyone’s work phones early this year. Some sort of MOTO phone. Im dispatched, this phone is given to me for navigation. This thing was so overloaded with ads that I couldn’t use Google maps for a single trip without giant full screen ads popping up for some MOTO shit. It’s the actual phone manufacturer shoving ads up while a navigation app has the screen forced on.

I’m no phone dev, but there’s no way the phone manufacturer who modifies the boot image and packs 20 uninstallable apps DOESNT know when the phone is being used for navigation. I would say the opposite, I bet android makes it very clear why the screen is stuck on. And the phone manufacturer says hey let’s advertise right now, it’s the perfect time.

How many deaths can be directly tied to this advertising campaign. Like so wildly directly, I’m not sure how advertising can more directly and immediately cause death like this. There’s a MOTO dev somewhere that should be looking at hard time

I think the answer is already in the question.

Naw but he’s gonna draft some laws right now, it’s cool he’s got this

Just to make sure I understand this correctly. The best images we have of this system that jams ukranian drones is a video of a ukranian drone casually idling by it? The brain drain hit russia hard, didn’t it?

Who splits a haiku into 4 lines

I was really hoping to see him fall down in public at least one more time. I’ll have to settle for this I guess.

Have you seen the bread and circuses these days?

I used a little self motivator to memorize B. “If you’re blue inside, it ends in shit.” That puts solid brown at the end, and keeps straight the blue/green pairs in the middle.

A cool and rebellious act to mask some severe daddy issues. “No dad, what about you!”
