In the US our prisons do not rehabilitate. The result is that prison only provide deterrence not reform.

Finland does it differently -> https://pulitzercenter.org/stories/no-bars-no-chains-no-locks-how-finland-reimagining-incarceration

I remember when SFC was first introduced, I excitedly wrote a script to invoke it remotely so I could use it on a user’s pc when they called to fix their problem. To this day I have never run that script. This was in 1998.

"> driving out rivals, diminishing competition, inflating advertising costs, reducing revenues for news publishers and content creators, snuffing out innovation, and harming the exchange of information and ideas in the public sphere."

I feel like it is going to be hard to prove that Google's anti-competitive actions have inflated advertising costs. Also, did news publishers lose revenue because of Google or was it Craigslist and jobs sites that killed their classified business?

Google is definitely a monopoly and has acted badly, but proving the harm in this way is going to be tricky. The government should go after them for privacy, the place where they have clearly abused their relationship with the public. Google normalizing spying on users has created the data economy that has resulted in us being spied upon us all the time and having all of our personal data being leaked over and over again.

As someone who has administered networks and written policies like this the concern here is that you will run an open network that may be used for piracy, hacking, DDOS or to send bomb threats. Tracing down this type of behavior is required by law and allowing students to run open networks makes this near impossible.

Champions of Midgard - Because Vikings! Its a resource management based game where you go on journeys to fight magical monsters. Its pretty tight and you can play a complete game in one-two hours.

Pandemic - I mostly enjoy this because it is a co-op game. You all fight the disease! That said the game mechanic is pretty fun and can be challenging.

Yes, you can configure non-router DNS in your DHCP server or you can manually set DNS on individual hosts. For a VPN you want to make sure the VPN connection has DNS manually configured.

If you have your router setup to resolve DNS, which is common, then while the VPN is active if you use your router for DNS, your router will be sending queries with the sites you visit from your real ip address to your DNS provider.

Fmovie is a new one I never heard of before. Good thing they mentioned it so I know to avoid it in the future.

Motherboard upgrade (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by xylogx@lemmy.world to c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Considering upgrading my gaming rig with the following bundle ->

https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006709/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d,-asus-b650-e-tuf-gaming,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

I have a GeForce RTX 3070 which I will keep and I am running Linux Mint 21.2. Any thoughts on compatibility? Any one running one of these ASUS B650-E TUF Gaming motherboards under Linux? Mint?

Edit: Thanks for all the great advice. It seems like I should spend just a few more dollars to get the Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX v2:
