First half of my life it was completely by accident I didn’t own anything nintendo, but I’m glad the second half of my life I’ve actively avoided it, so not a single cent has gone to those greedy motherfuckers.

As someone fairly new to lemmy, I had to look into this drama with lemmy.world, lemmygrad and hexbear. It has definitely shed some light on who has the big stick and who likes to play police.

The good thing about an nvidia driver update is that it forces you to take a backup. And hey, I figured out how apt-file works just so I could figure out where the nvidia driver put nvidia-settings (as it forgot to put it somewhere $path could find it, and no .desktop files were made).

Makes sense, they don’t want to be pointed out from a lineup for just following orders.

Wait until they figure out that anarchocapitalists aren’t anarchists

She’s literally in a cult.

Recording of her dad, the cult leader ranting against the gays..

Here she is in an ad against gay marriage in 1998.

I had to find this theme (and tweak the colours a bit) to just stand the site. The userscript Lemmytools also helps a bit, albeit half broken.

It’s taken from the excellent 1998 anime “Serial Experiments Lain”. It’s so iconic, excellent intro (OP) theme. But a bit surreal, it’s kind of Lynchian in a way.

Next you’ll tell me they’re wearing pointy white “balaclavas”.

Reading about the Tulsa race massacre is so crazy, like World War 1 planes, some say up to 12, others at least 8 of them doing stuff like: “… turpentine or nitroglycerin bombs being dropped and men shooting from planes”. Some also suspect the use of dynamite, so it’s possible they were quite literally dropping bombs.

Fuuuuuck… I was really hoping I didn’t need to migrate away from gmail… But looks like this is it.

“The American private health insurance industry has ruined countless lives by denying people access to basic care and burying families in medical debt,” said D4 Legal Committee spokesperson Sam Beard in a statement.

Sam Beard of the Party Girls podcast btw.
Here’s a clip of him on CNN.

Tbf, disabling systemD autorun is the only thing I’ve ever user kwriteconfig6 for, because with it enabled bash scripts don’t run correctly.

Only thing I’ve had to edit in the terminal in the last several months has been automount on a hard drive.

I just use gnome disks for that. Tbh, that’s the only thing I use gnome disks for.

I don’t mind using the terminal, but how the fuck am I going to remember something like kwriteconfig6 --file startkderc --group General --key systemdBoot false? (In fact, there aren’t even man pages for that command). Like the scribbles of a mad man I’ve had to put down commands like that in a sort of personal instructions manual, because ain’t no way I’ll remember these commands by heart.
And you often end up just saving the most used commands as aliases or functions in the .bashrc meaning you don’t retain the syntax for the commands you use. Well, maybe I’m a unique case of fish memory… The thing about humans is that we greatly rely on our vision, and having GUI’s to show what’s possible greatly improve ones understanding of how to manage it going forward.

Who was the lady that was deaf and blind, and famously overcame those?

Might be Helen Keller, very famous deafblind activist. A quote from wikipedia kind of shows how hard communicating when senses are limited:

The next month, Keller made a breakthrough, when she realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand, while running cool water over her other hand, symbolized the idea of “water”. Writing in her autobiography, The Story of My Life, Keller recalled the moment:

I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten—a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that w-a-t-e-r meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, set it free!

Just last week I was looking up ADHD and autism in blind people, but I was also questioning whether blind people could have aphantasia. Or rather, how does blind people perceive roundness or a circle in their mind? They know what it feels like at least, so is it tied to some other sense? I’m guessing blind people have a way of mapping out surroundings and 3D space, but I imagine explaining how a person thinks about stuff like this is as hard to describe as whether two people perceive the same colours the same way.

“Bloody Just Stop Oil protesters blocking the road, preventing me to go to work just so they can spread the message that we’re all going to die! I HAVE A MORTGAGE!”

That’s actually really cool. I like that the dev has expressed that he doesn’t want to make the algorithm addictive and just keep it random 😅
