The trick with selling Linux is not telling the user it’s not Windows. I used to refurb old laptops for old ladies. Throw a light version of Linux on there, show 'em the internet, maybe setup email, done. And I never got pestered to come back and fix shit.

The big trans instance just kicked lemm.ee (I think ?) to the dirt because one dude was being an ass and the admin wouldn’t address it. Apparently he refused to used the word “cis” and said trans women weren’t women. The horror.

“Inhume”: Opposite of exhume.

Used in a sentence: Nikita Kruschev - “We will inhume you!”

I don’t believe this meme for a second.

Wikipedia:

The production of single-core desktop processors ended in 2013 with the Celeron G440, G460, G465 & G470.

Those are so weak it’s not even funny.

The waste, while unnecessary, is negligible. Go buy a drink, any plastic drink from anywhere, and you wasted more plastic than a K-cup.

Pro tip: Rip the top off, rinse it out, fill with dirt, perfect seed starter pod. Even has a drain hole pre-drilled. Also, chunk the coffee in your yard, garden, compost, whatever.

When dad’s going down on her:

HOLY DIVER!

You’ve been down too long in the midnight sea

Oh what’s becomin’ of me

No, no, ride the tiger

You can see his stripes but you know he’s clean

Oh don’t you see what I mean

HOLY DIVER!

What’s also unreal is the stocks going up whenever Musk makes a promise. He just now said he foresees total self driving by year end. Even a casual observer like me has seen him fail to deliver, again and again and again.

Guess investors know this and also know the stock will bump whenever he lies. No one thinks they’ll be the one left holding the bag.

LOL, that is delicious.

Been downvoted plenty of times for saying I don’t get 1/10th of the Windows hassle lemmy talks about, probably less. Don’t have the LTSC version of 11, but it’s from a plain Jane ISO, not a factory install, which I would bet is the cause of many people’s pain.

Worked just a couple of months ago. Doubt it will this time.

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.”

I am no longer “nice”. I’m loud and in their face. Neighbor called the cops on me for calling him a fascist and telling him to get his fat-ass Nazi wife to STFU. If I could only go off on these MAGA assholes at work. At least I have zero problem letting my coworkers know where I stand.

We have no idea what sort of trail this is. Much of my hiking is private land, lots in park of various jurisdictions.

Oh god, make it an Igor from Discworld.

Sounds fun to play around with, but lonely, socially isolated people will get sucked in. God knows the internet has created enough people like that, this just feeds the beast.

Agreed with all that, but unless you are self-employed, you have worker’s comp. That is not optional insurance for an employer.

Illinois is red as it gets. Chicagoland is blue.

The tick-tock sound annoys the driver. Dated two women in a row who did this and both had “repetitive noise disorder”, misophonia. My wife has a sort of thing like that were she can’t stand the rhythm or noise of the wipers.

I completely made up “repetitive noise disorder” years ago on reddit. Now Google AI returns it as a legit result. Am I famous now?!

I so miss the Radio Shack of my youth. Back in the 70s and 80s they had real salesmen, in ties and everything. Those guys knew everything! Or, at least they did to my young mind. It was a real job for people who loved electronics and knew the space. Now it’s bored teenagers trying to sell you a phone and overpriced RC crap.

They had a huge catalog I’d wear out every year, literally in taped-up tatters, lusting over all the goodies, even the parts I was clueless about. (Fuck is an RF choke?! I want one.) I’d count and roll pennies, constantly referencing prices and dad to buy me a switch, LED, lamp, circuit board, anything at all. My first big purchase was a Realistic CD player. You could drop kick that thing and if it skipped at all, it would resume perfectly.

Sinners has black characters?! FFS, it’s set in 1930s Mississippi, there weren’t, and still aren’t, any black people there!

When I was a kid you saw it on the big screen or you waited several years for a truncated version to hit one of the three networks. Saw Star Wars in 1977 at 6-yo, didn’t hit broadcast TV until 1984.

Beast Master FTW.
