Do the interns get Glocks?

Great! I tend to avoid DRM’d games by buying from GOG. Don’t use their launcher, lutris tends to have auto install scripts for games.

Dont kill a tree. Dont be an asshole.

LordGimp OP ,

I know this tree. I was there when it was planted. I saw the original sapling get pulled out and brought to it’s new home. This is the leftovers uncared for by the current owners and it’s causing damage to my home. At a certain point, you decide to kill the invasive species of tree.

moody ,

Look into the local tree law before you do anything stupid. It could cost you a ton of money, and possibly criminal charges depending on where you live.

r3df0x , to technology in Is there any way to bring old school forums back?

A lot of the old forum applications still exist. A lot of old school forums are actually still around. The problem with old school forums compared to Reddit or Lemmy is that it’s just so much easier to get people to join a subreddit or a Lemmy community. If someone discovers a subreddit, all they need to do is go there and start posting. Creating a new account usually isn’t that hard but it’s still a considerable hurdle for someone who is considering joining.

Old school forums are simply too decentralized. It’s a lot easier to get reddit.com to come up in search results then it is for some relatively obscure forum.

partial_accumen , to nostupidquestions in What is the anime obsession with maids?

I understand why anime takes place in high school a lot, because its intended audience is high schoolers.

That doesn’t match my understanding of why so much anime is depicted in high school. While, yes there is a lot of anime targeted at high schoolers, as it was explained to me is that high school is the last time in Japanese culture where your future is undefined on a path. As soon as you leave high school you’re into one specific education, vocation, or career path where deviation after choosing your path is rare or not social acceptable. High school period is the last place in Japanese culture where everyone is mostly equal and unbound by expections. Many of the stories follow the nature of change or growth. So this requires the point in character’s lives where you can tell it.

Other story tropes used to transport older characters back to this time include:

  • body swap to a younger body or de-aging where social rules allow a person to change again
  • isekai, where the character is transported to another world (where the same rules of defined path don’t apply)
  • reincarnation, where the adult protagonist is reborn into the body of a child or teenager, again to place them in a point in society where change or freedom of choice of path is allowed

Some of the above is just my speculation. Other portions is what I’ve learned from others. If this is wrong and other people here know definitively, please correct me. I don’t want to be spreading wrong information.

VR though :(

dillekant ,

I don’t know if Linux Gaming would exist if it wasn’t for OpenGL and Carmack using it for Quake.

Unfortunately we are in the Glide era of VR. OpenXR exists, but someone needs to create a killer app which uses it.

roscoe , to youshouldknow in YSK most US states assign their electoral college votes by the state's popular vote

Even in Maine and Nebraska, two of their electrical votes are statewide just some are allocated to CDs. A state’s electrical votes are determined by their total number of senators and representatives. The ones that correspond to the two senators are statewide.

bloodfart , to linux in Why you should (probably not) run Slackware

That’s good Slackware, don’t you waste that Slackware.

When they dropped reiser the lug broke up mostly along Debian or gentoo lines. It was hard to switch to Debian. You just can’t freely disconnect and connect things like in Slackware. You can’t just rpm2tgz some package and see if it works.

You can’t top the level of troubleshooting knowledge gained from using that distro.

About the only thing a Slackware user can’t tell you is how the system got installed. He just hit enter a bunch of times.

matcha_addict , to linux in Why you should (probably not) run Slackware

Is my summary here correct?

  • slackware installs all software in its repos by default.
  • there’s no package management or dependency resolution. If you want to delete something, or install something, you do that on your own

Keep crying and find out. Petty suburban problems.

How far you can carry ice before it has fully vaporized.

Dippy , to science_memes in I definitely never unsubscribed from a YouTube channel just for that...

Or conjecture

ohwhatfollyisman , to nostupidquestions in What is the anime obsession with maids?

would it be about control? a fantasy about having access to a modernised version of a slave who is bound to do the protagonist’s oft-perverted bidding with reduced rights of their own?
