Yep similar to steam os / steam deck. It’s really good user experience, ticks all the boxes of what a lot of linux evangelists claim the windows will all want to switch to . It’s even surprisingly usable in desktop mode (with mouse and keyboard).

That’s what you can do with linux on defined hardware and with a dedicated team paid by a fairly large corpo making cash out of the users.

But the linux user base is way more diverse than that - not everyone is going to want graphene , or steamOS type thing. especially not just to pander to windozers.

All the gifs and jpegs were in sepia.

Back then internet servers were getting a bit of flack from environmentalists for the destruction of cuttlefish populations.

But napster kept the masses placated so there was never a revolution.

Mostly it’s just cheaper due to lower staff and rent costs, and maybe more efficient logistics, and less travel time / search cost for customer.

I still like in person shopping though, when i can, just pay the premium to be able to see what I’m buying and poke it a few times to check the quality.

Agree about large car park based shopping centres though, they’re shite.

It’d be nice to have town centre back and real markets. Drive out the infestation of fucking hipster food stalls charging over a tenner for lunch. But there just isn’t the trade to support more than a few real market stalls in my town.

Yes , pretty common for large vehicles to have to to this sooner or later. Driver shouldn’t be operating such large vehicles if their training and licensing, and knowledge of turning circle isn’t enough for them to know how to do this safely.

Business doors are often sprung to close automatically - possibly a fire regulation thing. So they don’t need a latch to stay shut. A knob or handle is often the way to release the latch.

Flat plates vs say, a bar to pull can also naturally communicate push vs pull if it only opens one way.

jenga towers?

Yeah, I think that says something about them - crazy people. Better off out of it.

How do you get to know you get blocked?

Do they send you a message like they’re police or a judge or something - that’s weird. When i block someone, i just click block - i assume they never know.

Blocking people is good though, I do it regularly when i feel I’ve wasted time reading some shit. Maybe you should block a few more just to get perspective on their side.

I assume I’ve been blocked by loads of people, but I don’t really know how or why I’d know ?

I’m like Dr Unkll or Mr HyprlandDestopEnvironment. There’s a magic potion to switch.

I don’t think I’ve seen it before. Looks like it’s available on a website called “ok.ru”

That sounds legit, as a non-linux nerd, I’ll watch it there.

[edit] Wow! Those nerds really were some filthy, pervert, sex offender/rapist types. Not a very good look for the nerds on that one.

Almost every obvious stupid joke is taken way too literally, or offensively by someone or other, so I always do a double check, and delete half of my drafted replies. And that’s even after i (try to) block most politics/Dump/Skum channels.

Unless I’m really in the mood for downvote farming by trolling linux nerds (drunk).

Almost 1 in 11-12 is way more than i thought for fediverse - feels smaller.

Maybe reddit is smaller than i remember, or has more occasional users.

Do you know if those stats remove bots?

Either way it’s back yard fishpond vs great lakes and that’s the answer.

TLDR; kali linux - 1337 h4x0r

IIRC a lot of them involved hacking the user to get to the system which seems legit.

Get the user on their personal compy though, then find something to blackmail more info out of them. I think they do that too.

This was a long time ago for me.

I think the voice is a bit weaker now, but the flute’s still decent and he gives it all he’s got. I saw them at a festival a few years ago. They’ve released a few new albums recently.

Looks like about 40 dates across Europe over the rest of 2026.

Yeah, I just won’t go to the one or two venues in my metro area that use it anymore.

If it’s something that I really want to see, there’s a couple of other cities nearby that have decent large venues (they operate their own actual box office) so I just have to hope that they play at one of those and I can get off work early enough.

I normally just go to small places where you can pay on the door though - fortunately I’m not too bothered about most of the people in those tb-only, venues.

Missed Jethro Tull recently though because of tb, sucks, more than ‘mildly’ for me though.

no

Neeshay, Rhymes with cliche.

“Klye-cH” is fine for that too, so I guess “Nye-ch” is nice.

If it was around a lock or, some larger basin, something like that I could imagine it. Some locks and junctions can have strong and very weird currents and inexplicably deep sections…

Other than that you could slip, knock yourself out.

Jump off a bridge into one ? - I bet that’s a darwin award someone has bagged.

Many of them are deep enough to submerge shopping trolleys and bikes, fall on them and break your back or something.

I dunno about “so many” though? I’d think a lot more die in natural streams or lakes, or steeply canalised watercourses or reservoirs.

I for one would not go in one as i think you’d immediately get a million nasty diseases.

Pop is fine, but if you combine it with Snap, you often get an annoying Crackle.

Read at least 100 real book words for every 1 lemmy or social media, or mass media words you read.

Even if you accidentally see them, you just have to stop and read a real book after you hit the limit.

Dilute the drivel to a low concentration and your kidneys and liver should be able to flush out the toxins. If you read this message you should go read about 8000 words of a real book, with food.

Online is worthless, I agree. but people spending their time, is legit.

I think Fran explains it quite well towards the end of this one, c 7 minutes in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUhNsZU5-rM

tldw: People can protest and still be people and do other ‘people stuff’ whilst they’re protesting.

I mean you slightly have to ignore the “we invented protest in philadelphia crap” in there. pretty sure even like some stuff like Jesus, is probably based on some limited violence protest movement. (i’ve seen the documentary ‘the life of Brian’)
