He'll probably go to jail, since there's a ton of evidence against him and his cronies, and most of right-leaning here won't pick a fight with our supreme court just to bail him out.

The real problem is: he won't really pay for his crimes in jail. Because he's a retired army captain, he'll go to a military prison, just like Braga Netto (his ex minister), and while in there he'll have access to cable TV, expensive wine and cigars, and whatnot. For context, our prisoners have a miserable life here: expired food, overpopulated cells and threats from organized crime leaders. Bolsonaro wouldn't last a single day in a common prison here, but because of his age and military rank, there's no scenario where this happens.

The only one who can make him pay is the devil himself, and I really hope he pays Bolsonaro a visit soon enough

NGL, print error is my favorite

I tested this today with a friend, and apparently it doesn't need to be a video call, just a regular voice call is enough to do screen share.

I didn't test with a group call though, so I can't tell if it only works with two people.

I dunno, I only have Mull on my phone. I used Firefox through my PC to access it.

I have Mull + uBlock, can confirm the issue

it does not have to be realistic, it's a game

"So, you'll happily pay $200 for a triple-A game with Atari graphics and not rant about using 0.001% of your recently bought 24Gb GDDR6 graphics card that cost you your kidney, right?"

Such a bunch of losers, even they don't know what they want. I bet they'd rant about "lack of graphical improvements" if Konami released the PS2 version with PC compatibility patches.

I stand corrected. Thank you for your explanation

Well, yes, but are there Hebrew words for "Hamas" or "Biden"?

I was taught that you shouldn't translate foreign names, only if the translation serves the purpose of clarification. For example: if I said I studied at USP, you probably wouldn't get it; but if I said I studied at the São Paulo State University (USP), it would be explicit that I'm talking about a college.

Not OP, but Hebrew uses RTL system like the Arab language.

Mano, não sei se foi intencional ou não, mas aqui é uma instância internacional, meio que não vão interagir por não ser em inglês. Tem o !tecnologia@lemmy.eco.br que é de uma instância 100% BR.

All hail the Scrap Queen!

Yeah, but there's also the term "freeware", which means closed source but free to use.

I'll edit my comment for clarity, thanks for the heads up.

 

Hey everyone. I've been playing on Linux using proton for a while and stumbled across this scenario: you click "play" and the game won't start, it doesn't even bring up the "compiling vulkan shaders" card sometimes. This post is about a fix I've been using and wanted to share.

Use a process analyser (I use htop) to search for a process with the word "DIRECTX" or "DXSETUP". This process should run right after you install the game and click to play for the first time, as a post-install script. In my experience, this process usually hangs and stops the game starting sequence. Since I know my Proton setup already have DirectX updated, I kill this process (using signal 9 - SIGKILL) and the game starts booting normally.

I'm currently using GE-Proton8-14 and Pop!_OS 22.04

 

Well, everybody born in the american continent is technically "american" too, including Central and South America. Is there a specific term in english for these people?

Edit: Thanks for all your answers, especially the wholesome ones and those patient enough to explain it thoroughly. Since we (South Americans) and you (North Americans) use different models/conventions of continent boundaries, it makes sense for you to go by "Americans", while it doesn't for us.

 

I've recently discovered Radicle, which is a P2P code hosting platform, and I liked its concepts a lot. Any of you guys heard of or used it?
