I really wish we would stop using the term "deporting" for situations like this. That is not what's happening here. "Rendition" and "exile" would be far more accurate.

Dad needs to pull himself up by his bootstraps and stop expecting handouts from his health insurance. /s

Kinda same for me. I run EndeavourOS on my personal machine and Mint for work. Been pretty happy with that arrangement, though the Arch ecosystem took some adjusting to.

If that doesn't work, I hear ritual sacrifice is pretty effective.

I got a Framework 16 a few months ago and I've been loving it. Super happy these guys managed to make this concept of a repairable laptop work. Though, one thing I wish is for them to make a storage case for the expansion cards. I've built up a little collection of them and obviously filled up all 6 slots pretty quickly. I'd like a better place to put the unused cards than in a random drawer.

I'd love to see him try. He'd be off script within the first 10 seconds.

There is no strategy with them, only blinding hate.

I'm not your boss, but if someone who worked for me said "Sorry boss, couldn't make it in because I was kicking the shit out of some ICE nazis", I'd consider that absence excused in a heartbeat.

I imagine precisely this might land them in some tricky situations in states like Texas which have both Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine laws.

Vulkan is designed to be closer to the metal than something like DirectX 11 or OpenGL, which makes the API more explicit and difficult to use. This means it requires a great deal more care to use properly. And to complicate matters more, subtle bugs that are very difficult to debug are very easy to introduce.

But, this applies mostly to devs who build their own tech. Most of them these days are just using 3rd party engines like Unity or Unreal, so it comes down to whether or not the person making the game decides to check the box to use Vulkan and just how good those render backends are. Engine developers of 3rd party tech have to build their stuff to be as generic as possible. That's likely gonna add a lot of bloat that might not be fully optimized for every game developer's use case.

TLDR: It's tough and time consuming for someone writing it themselves. And for the ones who aren't, they're having to place a lot of trust in a renderer that is probably a black box and might be buggy/slow.

And doing nothing when someone is violently assailing you seems like it would carry consequences of its own. I'm not advocating that we meet violence with murderous retribution, but when diplomacy fails and someone intends to cause you harm no matter what you do, defending yourself is the only reasonable course of action.

The vibes this guy is giving off makes me think he's the type to walk into a Subway (the sandwich place) strapped with an assault rifle and at least one or two pistols, wearing a bulletproof vest, and drove there in an oversized pickup truck plastered with decals including "Come and take it", "Don't tread on me", and the Punisher logo.
