It’s court case related. The battle over the SAVE plan has been going on for months now with kinda no end in sight (awaiting an 8th district ruling that will be appealed up to the SCOTUS which can be partially addressed and sent back down then appealed up again etc. etc.). All SAVE plans are currently in an interest free forbearance period awaiting all of the legal challenges to resolve themselves (which will still probably be months of litigation). There has been no additional advisement from loan processors or the DoE about the state of this period.

The critique I’ve seen on the admin side is they used a less fool-proof vehicle to institute the plan than what they could have (same critique has been levied for the outright forgiveness plan).

I can’t really assess the critique because it’s really in the weeds legal battles/administrative tools between a lot of competing interests. If someone else has deeper insight I’d love to hear it.

Extremely mediocre game. LP2 is getting patched on steam soon though to restore multiplayer functionality though!

Someone get Estonia on Lemmy.world they love preemptive last resort actions

Rules-reformism is the final stage of liberal cognitive dissonance to the horrors-of-the-empire bargaining stage in my experience.

They either recognize that these reforms are intentional structural impossibilities then logically actually move towards some form of anticapitalist thought or disengage entirely if they’re privileged enough to shrug it off. I’ve struggled helping friends at this point make the final step. It’s extremely difficult to achieve in the imperial core which can be incredibly disheartening.

Always press these people on what aspects of culture and within 3 replies you’ll have them showing their entire ass.

Yellow dog Linux and anyone could run Folding (no Linux required).

The reason was likely a tax dodge to get the device taxed as a computer and not toy similar to why the PS2 also had this functionality for that same tax dodge.

Secondary reason was probably the US military PS3 supercomputer back in the day.

I think there is a holy grail MGS4 PS3 special edition that retained hardware backwards compatibility (all models after went to software) and was 80gb of storage if I’m remembering correctly.

Any top level comment that isn’t a news article or in some way an effort post (doesnt have to be expansive but shouldn’t just be a short, personal reaction about an event) should be removed. Totally fine as replies to a higher level comment, but having the top level comments retain higher quality would be incredibly nice.

The showcase highlighting distance grass resolution in Ratchet and Clank was one of the funniest “why should you buy this” presentations I’ve ever seen.

Imagine if a fraction, one-thousandth, of the funding going towards AI model training, compute time, and data center scale up went instead towards funding 3d modelers, texture artists, animators, and Godot/Blender contributors and what that could ACTUALLY USUABLY PRODUCE FOR THE COMMONS in the field.

Shit drives me absolutely insane.

Been playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe CTGP mod. 48 additional usermade tracks and many of them have been great. Modded Mario kart rules

It opens with a video playing the song “In the arms of the angels” but only Vivek’s slide is him burning in hell

It’s a shame it didn’t start during primary season imagine how funny the debates would have been.
