boredsquirrel , to linux in Convert second disk with OS to pure data storage
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

Depending on the DE you use on Nobara, use GNOME Disks or KDE Partitionmanager and just open that thing and look at it.

It may have several partitions you dont need anymore, and /home is separated, containing all your users.

In that case you could just delete the others and resize the home partition to fit the contents.

If you have a / partition, you can still remove the /boot and /boot/efi and maybe swap partition. Then resize the root partition to fill all the space.

You need to mount the disk in your filemanager and use admin:/ to open it with privileged access.

Open a terminal and navigate to /run/media/USERNAME/DRIVENAME

In there do sudo chown -R USERNAME *

Then after you broke everything an OS would need but that you want, move the stuff from the homes to your root folter from the GUI filemanager. Move, not copy.

Afterwards you may want to do some ext4 repair magic, as I dont know how well ext4 likes messing around with partitions.

Emulator + GBA games

Berttheduck ,

I’m really digging advanced wars currently.

MacroCyclo ,

It’s one of the best mobile GBA ports out their. The action ones are nearly impossible without buttons.

Berttheduck ,

I’m playing it via an emulator and it’s working nicely. I didn’t realise there was a mobile port. Though I can see how it would work well for the touchscreen pretty easily.

wiki_me , to fediverse in What do you want to have in a Lemmy instance?

Having some sort of democratic non profit behind it like codeberg which seem to be doing really well (or like a cooperative bank), anyone can be a member as long as he pays fees that help projects for the instance (which could include paying bounties or freelancers for lemmy feature development). You would have a election where you vote for a board of directors or even just one “instance leader” or something like that and he or they decide what to fund or what mods to appoint or impeach. You could copy codeberg bylaws and it might actually work.

You could argue just letting basically average people elect management would lead to incompetent management (plato made the same arguments, your in good company), but this model has it advantages and seems to work well . The American Association for the Advancement of Science uses this model and created one of the most well regarded science journal in the world (science)

southsamurai , to nostupidquestions in Why are stories that take place in another world where everyone is white and Asian are normal, but it's "woke" if they are all black?
@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

Man the whole theft of “woke” and the subsequent use of it as a form of slur should point to the answer.

Being Woke means that you are aware of systemic inequalities and biases. That’s it. The word originated as a term for that among the black community, specifically about systemic racism.

It did spread among other marginalized groups, because it is such a simple and powerful word for a giant concept. That concept applies to more than just racial issues because systematic bigotry is so fucking ingrained into the social structures of the world. And I mean world, not just “the west”. There are forms of bigotry and inequality everywhere. But it is essentially an English term, and is mostly a US term. The concept behind it is universal.

Yet again, racists and bigots stole something from black people amd turned it against them.

Make no mistake, anyone using the word Woke in a negative sense, as an insult towards something is 100% dog whistling their bigotry. They are absolutely racist, even if only by the appropriation of the word and using it against marginalized groups other than black people.

So, stay woke, people. Systemic bigotry exists, and you can become a target of it.

lordnikon ,

It is effective in that context that’s why it frightens bigots so much and they want to change it from that context.

bizarroland ,

It's just like their previous theft of the term "bleeding heart". A person with the bleeding heart was someone who just cared so fucking much, and so they mocked bleeding heart liberals for caring so much that their hearts just bleeding away, wah wah way.

And used that term to justify the hardness of their own hearts and to somehow imply that it's manly to not have feelings.

Question is fair enough, but your history is looking weird by now. Slightly paraphrased to illustrate the pattern:

What would a modern day instruction manual to create home-made explosives look like?

Is there any place on the web to brag about terrorist attacks? (deleted?)

Where is it legal to murder people?

Hoplite, Pixel Dungeon, Battle for Polytopia

wizardbeard ,

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is the fork that has the most active development, if you’re looking for more/better balanced content.

Nemo ,

Shattered is a little baroque for me. The original was rooted in simplicity, and I think Shattered, while trying to fix the few flaws of vanilla, goes too far in the other direction.

MeatsOfRage , to asklemmy in TV nerds: what should I watch

I’m a huge fan of anything Damon Lindelof has been a head writer on

Lost

Watchmen

And my personal all time favorite show:

The Leftovers

He’s latest show Mrs. Davis is ok too but not quite as good as his previous stuff.

Another show recommendation that I love to give because no one watched it is The English. It’s a crazy stylish western, reminds me of Coen Brothers.

teawrecks ,

I watched Lost when it aired and Leftovers during the pandemic. I won’t post spoilers, but I think Lindelof has a unique brand of writing intentionally disappointing stories that’s not for me. Like most people, my partner and i didn’t like how Lost ended, but the internet would have me believe that we are the only people in the world who didn’t like Leftovers.

I like how the ride starts, I just don’t think he’s even trying to write an ending that satisfies all the questions he takes the time to ask.

MeatsOfRage ,

That’s fair. Lost had trouble because they were building the track as they went. I still loved the ride though. For me, I don’t think every question needs an answer as long as what it creates feeds into the themes of the show. Like on Lost, I wish they never explained the Smoke Monster, it just wasn’t necessary.

With Leftovers, I’d say it’s ending is the perfect summation of the show and anything else would betray what it was going for.

spoilerIt’s a show about logic vs belief and that’s where it leaves us, do you believe Nora? What happened to the 2% ultimately doesn’t matter because the show is about how people deal with the unexplainable. There’s no satisfying answer to that mystery.

You’re not alone in not liking the ending though. I’ve had this conversation before and it’s totally ok not to.

teawrecks ,

I appreciate what he says he’s going for, which is that it’s a story about the characters, not the sci-fi/magic. If you’ve watched Tales from the Loop, I think it does a much better job at this. You always want to know more about the tech, but you’re never lead to believe that that’s what the story is about.

I would liken good story writing to a magic trick. The writer has to create a bunch of threads, and weave them together in such a way that are interesting, but just opaque enough that you can’t predict how they all tie together in the end. And once you reach the end, like a magic trick, your mind is blown at how well everything fits together.

But Lost and Leftovers feel like they’re keeping a bunch of threads going, only to drop 90% of them on the floor, tie two together, and say “it was never about those other threads”. And I feel like I’m still standing there like, “um…aren’t you going to guess my card?”

Lindelof thinks that’s his gimmick, but to me just feels like he’s just decided he’s not going to do the actual difficult part of story writing.

This snippet is my favorite review of Lost.

vipaal , to asklemmy in Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?

Start listening to Dr Michael Greger. You’ll thank yourself at 40.

When making your worldviews, difficult as it might be, consider listening to the news from original source. Say, for China related stories, look up Chinese publications, translate them to a couple of other languages you know. Ask yourself what each narrator or writer wants you to think and do after listening to their side of the story. This habit will make traveling a better experience in many ways.

Write a journal everyday. Write a meal and snack journal everyday and include any alcohol, drug as well in it. Review them every now and then. Never miss any vaccine. The journals will come in handy for everything from planning weight loss, effectiveness of any diet or exercise, sicknesses, mental health issues, to helping your doctors help you better. Course correction will get simpler and ever easier.

If you ever think of kids, do consider stopping with one. This boiling, frying planet we have made ourselves need not be inflicted on any more than one little one of yours.

Track_Shovel , to asklemmy in What is the best low MB mobile game that you ever played ?

Shattered pixel…hands down

Rouge like rpg, with miles of depth. Can’t recommend it enough. It’s paid, but relatively cheap

Emanuel ,

Free if you get it from github or F-Droid. It’s also open source, which I consider a plus

Berttheduck ,

Seems to be free on Android. Thanks for the recommendation though, seems fun from my first run ☺️

Track_Shovel ,

Be careful of using potions you don’t know (test out in water)

Don’t use equipment you’re not strong enough for or you suffer penalties

Check out !pixeldungeon for more info

GraniteM ,

If you pick up a cursed armor or weapon and aren’t sure if it’s worth cleansing, throw it at an explosive trap, or throw a bomb at it. An un-upgraded item will be destroyed, while an upgraded one will not, and therefore may be worth using a cleansing scroll on.

Track_Shovel ,

Holy shit. Thanks for the tip!

ColeSloth ,

Yep. I’ve sunk probably 60 hours into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Fantastic/infuriating roguelike. I play with an s pen. Way better than a finger.

Track_Shovel ,

I’ve played 530 games, so whatever that works out to. Ascended with each subclasses. Some people take the game to the next level with their dedication and nerdery

ColeSloth ,

Jebus. I’ve played about 60 games. Need to beat it with the dualist. Then I’ll have a win from each of the 5 classes. Game has one heck of a learning curve to it.

Track_Shovel ,

Duelist is my favorite class right now. Started with the mage though since he’s probably the most forgiving to play.

Huntress is brutal to start with but gets really strong late game.

ColeSloth ,

Huntress only took me like 5 tries to win with. Got some great items that paired well with her. I’m having a real bad go of it with the dualist. Been getting wrecked.

Track_Shovel ,

If you find a sickle early, use it - it does a lot of damage and it’s bleed is solid. Similarly the scythe is broken. The flail can 1 shot people if you know how to use it.

gac11 ,

I’ve been playing off and on for years, but can’t get past about level 20. I suck so bad at the game but love it

ColeSloth ,

Ouch. Umm…start with mage and dump all your upgrade scrolls into the staff for a while. Then when you get a tier 4 or 5 armor, put like 5 upgrades into that.

chat gpt read your pdf and produced this:

Alright, here is a very simplified summary of the document for a five-year-old:


Imagine you have a toy box that only you can use, and you get to decide what toys everyone can play with. This is like how some companies control the electricity that comes to our homes. They are the only ones allowed to do it, and they make sure it’s fair and everyone gets what they need. Sometimes, special people called regulators help these companies to make good decisions so that everyone has electricity at a good price and new ideas can still be used.
