Velocipastor! It looks and seems like it’ll be a parody but it was super engaging and fun. Went into it thinking it would be watched between gaming rounds and eventually turned off, but I ended up quitting the game to full-screen that shit!

This movie took me completely by surprise by how good it was. I feel like you could tell everyone involved had experience playing TTRPGs, from the director, to the writer(s), all the way down to the catering crew!

I had my first fuck up with openSUSE+Gnome a couple of weeks ago when impatient me killed my laptop in the middle of like 1600-updates. BRTFS was the only reason I didn’t rip my hair out and the primary reason I will be switching my daily driver gaming rig to Linux, finally! That FS is the tits!

I’d care a hell of a lot less about the amount if it felt like it was being used for anything other than padding rich assholes pockets. I want my taxes to feed and help people, repair and maintain roads, and subsidies public transit. I guess I’m saying I want my money to help my community and the vulnerable, not sit in some rich fuckers bank account while a homeless settlement I drive by daily grows, tent by tent.

My parents’, stop crying or I will give you something to cry about, keeps me from being able to handle my 5yo when he’s getting emotional or crying about something I see as trivial or is a resolved conflict.

I feel embarrassed when someone, even my wife, sees me cry. I usually break down alone and as quietly as possible to avoid being caught. I’m better at letting that shit go, now, and allow myself to break down in front of my wife, but no one else.

If you stare at the elbow of someone you are high-fiving, you’ll never miss the high five.

The screen with my Lenovo Yoga 720 (I think) is a convertible touch screen. The brightness never stays consistent in Mint. It constantly changes brightness no matter what I’m doing with it. However, I’m not sure it worked right, even with Windows 10. Still a decent machine.

I lost all interest in the entire series when they were chasing the fleet and shooting lasers in an arch…to combat wind resistance in space, I guess. Oh man, I laughed (unintentionally) when I saw that. I almost walked out of the theater.

You and I are in similar boats, except I only gave Windows 11 a single install on my personal gaming rig before going back to 10. With the threat of 10 going EoL, I’ll be forced to move to Linux soon, myself. After working in PC and Windows troubleshooting for over 20-years all my foyers into Linux have been met with self-imposed damage resulting in an abandoment of Linux. This happened with spare computers or server setups since Windows Vista.

I’m nervous about the future of my gaming addiction, but will not use Windows 11.

Im dying on it either way.

To a self-driving car, no less!

Well I’m still rooting for your success!

I know it sucks but I’m glad you seen to have corrected the problem. As someone who does more harm than good with Linux systems, myself, to fix a Linux issue without completely reinstalling the OS, is impressive and you should be proud to have accomplished such a feat!

Just my two cents as someone who does this a lot, myself, only change one thing at a time when testing troubleshooting suggestions. I know the reply suggested a few things in succession, but that was showing progressive steps to confirm and identify the underlaying cause. Doing them all at once fails to correctly identify the root-cause at best, and at worst may have introduced new problems.

I say this again, as someone who notoriously does this all the time. It’s a time-saver reflex, but one that will bite you in the ass eventually.

This is a fear my therapist and I have talked about. I didn’t understand why children made me uncomfortable to be around. We discovered that it wasn’t about the kid, nor their age, but the perception. And I think some kids pick up on that anxiety.

Kind of the same reason you make noise while hiking in an area with bears. I’m never looking for an interaction so I make some one-off noises to let the other party know I’m there and I’m letting them decide how they want to handle that info.

PEBCAK Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard!

Knew of an IT help desk employee who used this as a resolution in a ticket. Yeah, he got fired as soon as the customer looked up what it meant.

I will do that, thanks for the recommendation! I definitely need to get that knowledge/workflow down before I make my main driver a Linux machine.

I really need to learn how to do that. I installed SuSE something on my laptop and selected that file system but couldn’t find how to do the snapshot stuff. I’m sure I’m just dumb, but also exhausted, and mentally drained.

The 80s hairband press event was pretty funny, also.

Using Lemmy requires some modicum of understanding in technology. Most conservatives I’ve encountered tend to be technology-ignorant at best, and technophobic at worst. You don’t see as many differing political views on Lemmy cause some/most conservatives are too inept at technology or can’t be bothered to figure it out.

Reddit was just easier to get into, and as much as I personally like Lemmy, it’s a hard sell to some from the outset. If the signup could be simplified (which I understand federation and why it can’t be that easy), we could see an influx of more outdated viewpoints on the platform.

I also agree with others who have stated that most “conservative” philosophy involves denying rights to those who have only recently (last 50 years or so) been afforded rights equal to their own. I’m also growing increasingly suspicious of how much lead was actually used in the products consumed by boomers and some Gen-x before its use was known and most of it banned or removed from products. It seems too many in their late 40+ are going from normal human being with empathy towards others to RAGING MAGA CONSPIRACIST, seemingly overnight.
