I have a hand-me-down from a friend, it's pretty nice but I hardly ever use it in handheld mode which is where it really shines. I use it docked with a kbm+monitor setup. I am using a 4k monitor that I found for free in a Walmart, but I don't know if it was the optimal choice. The Steam Deck was really only ever intended to play games at 720p or 1080p so I ended up lowering my resolution a pretty large amount just to maintain 30fps in more modern games.

I like it overall though. It runs everything I need to run at a fine enough level and using it has taught me a lot about Linux, it's a very fun computer. I don't know if I would pay for it personally because I'm broke as fuck but I appreciate owning it.

Here's my advice for you as someone that's worked in a few factories and a warehouse: Get insoles for your shoes if you can, they'll help a lot. Prioritize protein dense foods, maybe take a shake to work. I basically abused acetaminophen when I was working my 12hr shifts, try not to poison yourself with painkillers. Some factories or warehouses have massage chairs in the break/lunch rooms, if your's does remember to use it! A little less ethical depending on how your factory handles breaks but try to take a little extra time than you're allowed if you can. In the same vein, if you have time to clean you have time to lean! Take every chance you can to rest.

You said you're in storage and I don't know what that means specifically but in any case, optimize your movements, especially if you're palletizing or something. Do not twist your body left or right to lift, remember to use your legs to lift, and keep objects in your power zone! The core of factory and warehouse work is about optimizing your movements to minimize pain and last longer.

Oh also if you can sneak earbuds into work and you're able to do your work safely with them, use music or podcasts to power through the shift. My best shifts were when I was able to sneak my wireless earbuds onto the factory floor. If that's not possible for you I'd recommend getting some nice reusable earplugs. They should be more comfortable and more effective than whatever your work is giving you, if they are anyways. Save your hearing!

And one more thing, remember to be careful outside of work too. Something as small as an RSI in your wrist can be enough to not make it through a shift, jeopardizing your job. That's all the advice I have, stay strong comrade.

This is probably eventually gonna get to the Toki Pona community I tried to get going and I'm fine with it, I tried getting it off the ground but obviously there just isn't a big enough audience for it.

I'd like to add context here that they're talking about the Assassin's Creed controversy, not actually hate crimes against Asian americans or anything of the sort. You can confirm this by looking at their Reddit account where they've posted about it and then regurgitated this exact comment into a post on /r/TheDeprogram.

There's still coercive sterilization being done too. Doctors on reservations are quick to pitch sterilizing procedures for women for issues that can be resolved in other ways.

Correction on blood quantum: the vast majority of tribes still rely on blood quantum for enrollment. The requirement can range anywhere from 1/32 to 1/2. Blood quantum is still in use because it's often a necessity to receive federal recognition that opens up the tribe to certain forms of economic support. Most tribes that use blood quantum also require proof of lineal descent. There is a movement to do away with blood quantum in favor of lineal descent as more of us wake up to it's genocidal purpose. But this is a slow battle as we still have to get this knowledge into the minds of our comrades and then past our tribe governments, councils, etc. which tend to be stacked with corrupt liberals.

Yeah the school's grants were embezzled by some dude and then they didn't meet the minimum amount of students so they were shut down. It was a pretty awesome school besides that, I enjoyed learning there.

I couldn't help but read it as sixty-thirth.

The controls are slightly different and there's little bits of QOL over the classic version too, but yeah it's basically the same game and the developers are working hard to keep them at pace with one another for people interested but not willing to commit to the $30. The remaster also has an ASCII mode which I like for whenever I wanna play a little old-school. :)

Yeah so adventure mode has actually been in Dwarf Fortress Classic for a very long time! What just entered beta is actually adventure mode for the new remastered version of the game which you can find on itch.io or Steam.

The latest Dwarf Fortress Classic version is at 50.12 which is up to date with Dwarf Fortress Remastered. I think you can only access the new beta version for adventure mode on Steam though. If you want to play Adventure mode on Classic you just open up a world you made and a screen should ask if you want to start "Fortress," "Adventure," or "Legends" and from there just select Adventure. Happy to help!

 

Hey comrades, I just want to make sure we're all aware of some basic opsec when it comes to leftist firearms. Whenever you take a picture on your phone or on a camera, Metadata is stored in the file. This metadata can include a lot of information like what phone you're using or the location it was taken. We all care about this for obvious reasons so it's very important that we're making sure to wipe the metadata and any identifiable landmarks or information on images we plan to post here.

Take a moment to learn how to wipe and read metadata on images, you can find information online of how to do this. I personally just use an app on my phone to do it.
