Don’t mind me, being a casual user since 2014 taking down notes as I’m reading the debates in the comments.
But I finally found out why Steam kept crashing. Snap broke it. I forced it to run as a flatpak, and now it works exactly as intended. Literally what made me finally switch from Ubuntu to Mint.
Didn’t expect to see a legend just scrolling here. Thank you for your contributions to computer science.
Yeah, I jumped ship right around the time Win8 came out. 14.04 was an interesting time to start learning. I was obsessed with trimming out bloat, so I used a tool to uninstall orphaned packages. Problem was, it also deleted some dependencies for GNOME.
I had, to quote the most helpful and humorous person in an Ubuntu forum post, “borked it so bad it had to be nuked from orbit.”
I have since learned my lesson and learned to be a little bit more careful with the magical responsibilities of sudo.
<I think I still have an old book that cautioned if you configured your refresh rates and monitor settings incorrectly your monitor could catch on fire.> Are you telling me that one dev for X.org could set someone’s monitor on fire by fucking with four lines of code?
Jesus Christ, thanks for that, I didn’t need to sleep tonight.
American here. Fucking true, brother. You tell 'em!
Queen Liliuokalani deserves to have her name heard. And the US and the Dole Corporation both owe Hawaiians their sovereignty back.
Oh. My god.
SHE LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE FRUIT BAT!!! <3 <3 <3
Don’t worry, it’s a fake. Luckily.
That is some amazing photographer luck!
I was just about to say, this is a shiny Colorado flag. Catch it!
That road, deadass, goes through five war zones. Hell no.
Was a mental health tech at a psych hospital. Ditto this, when it’s the nurse’s word against yours and the Ombudsman is already overworked and overwhelmed, you’re cooked.
I tried to go to bat for my patients so often, but once the nurses and the aides burn out, they stop doing the job because they care and start doing the job because it’s a job. I had nurses who told me to overchart patients so their insurance would pay more and they’d stay longer. Shady, shady shit.
Red Flag laws are used to remove guns from Trans, Latino, and Black people in red states too. It’s not the solution to gun violence that people think it is. It was a good idea, but it ends up falling to paradox of the false positive and even being weaponized against minorities more often than not. It violates due process as well.
More comprehensive care for people with severe mental health issues and arresting and jailing domestic violence offenders their first time is more effective. Unfortunately, we just defunded public mental health, so…
If all of us flee to Canada, there will be no one left to fight back.
We love you for welcoming those of us who can’t stay. But someone has to.
He sure does! And he’s left-leaning because he was born half-White half-Black during Apartheid. His autobiography is literally titled “Born a Crime”, and it talks about how utterly fucked and dystopian apartheid South Africa was. How he spent his life not only becoming a master of code-switching and comedy to survive, but fight back.
He’s a badass. The man has my respect for life.
Thank you, Lieutenant Commander LaForge. o7 Read plenty, live long, and prosper.
I wish. It would mean that this genocidal freak would feel his sins crawling on his back.
Right. Sure. Keep shilling for daddy Putin, you’ll get your promotion for sure if you keep it up.
Fuck you, Russia STARTED this fight. Imperialism and capitalism are the god damn problem, and here you are enabling them both.
Low-key, the fact that that skit is no longer funny and is nothing but straight facts is absolutely paralyzing.
Monty Python’s Flying Circus was terrifyingly, utterly lucid. That was the straightest skit they ever wrote.
It’s funny because it is, in fact, completely true.
You’re gonna laugh, but I have a lot of love for Legend with Tom Cruise and Tim Curry. How Tim Curry managed to chew the set that hard with horns that size is beyond my acting skill to comprehend. And the fact that Tom Cruise ran around saving unicorns from Satan with a motley crew of fairy sidekicks is a sentence gay enough to make me puke rainbows. I’m already gay, man, I puke rainbows all month during June.
Seriously, it’s a good and awful movie. It has no plot, it’s just aesthetic art. But if you want a really good fantasy movie about unicorns… The Last Unicorn. Full stop. It has made me cry since I was a child. Not a B Movie, just a cult classic.
But if you REALLY want a B movie? Time Bandits. How the hell Kenny Baker went from R2-D2 to one of the gremlin thieves on strike because God wouldn’t let them have a turn on the time machine… I can’t. And kidnapping The Generic English Schoolboy as their sidekick was just… interesting. At least Sean Connery did a great job as Agamemnon.
