Did you know that Alfred Krupp, one of the guys responsible for the arms race that led to World War 1, absolutely loved the smell of horse manure? He loved it to a point where he built a house designed so he could always smell it. Wild stuff.

GFGJewbacca ,

That always makes me think of this great moment from “Men In Black.”

GFGJewbacca ,

I’m glad at least someone on Lemmy is talking about what’s been happening in Sudan. Too many of us are neglecting their plight, along with those in Ethiopia, The Ivory Coast, CAR and The DRC.

GFGJewbacca ,

The “live, laugh, love” pillow is a nice touch. I wouldn’t mind this kind of poltergeist in my house…as long as they make good design choices.

GFGJewbacca ,

Uh… Chanukkah is the least important holiday on the calendar. A shitty thing for this guy to do, but the high holy days were months ago.

GFGJewbacca ,

I still love playing Dead Cells. I’m planning on putting this on my wishlist for when it goes on sale. Hopefully there’s co-op too.

I can understand why the government would want to do away with the colonial language. It’s a reminder of a dark time. However, the decision of what the official language(s) should be can lead to some tricky politics. If one local language is elevated, it gives an advantage to those who grew up speaking it. This is especially hard for minority languages from indigenous peoples.

An example of this is in Botswana, where I’m currently living. The Tswana people came up from South Africa and displaced indigenous populations like the San and Herero. After independence in 1966 from being a British protectorate, they made English the official language and Setswana the national language. English is used in education and government, but everyone is also expected to learn Setswana to function in society. For those who didn’t grow up speaking Setswana or who don’t learn it, it’s harder or impossible to get good healthcare or a good job.

Language politics can get really messy when there are lots of local languages. I worry about what might happen as a result of this decision.

My wife and I are caring for our 2 month old daughter, and this just scared me a bunch. We’re not using formula from the company in question, but the fact that this happens is terrifying.

GFGJewbacca ,

I heard GLADOS as I was reading that too. I loved both games. Took me a long time to beat the single player of Portal 2, but damn it was worth it

GFGJewbacca ,

I’ve been running Nobara on my Surface Pro 4, which is based on Fedora. It comes with all the surface drivers built in, which really helps. It’s been working pretty well for me.

Carl’s Jr has deemed you an unfit parent!

GFGJewbacca ,

Lawyers for the 14-year-old and her parents say that American “knew or should have known the flight attendant was a danger.” They say the failure of other crew members to confiscate the employee’s phone allowed him to destroy evidence.

Well that’s pretty damning. Makes me wonder how many other times this flight attendant has done this.

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

GFGJewbacca OP ,

I do agree that GNOME is really beautiful. I spent time making the taskbar more like GNOME before commiting to using KDE.

GFGJewbacca OP ,

I hear you there. I like the workflow of GNOME, and I wish I could make the app launcher in KDE be as minimalist as the GNOME launcher in ArcMenus. But at the same time, a number of things I was using the launcher for can be done as a keystroke in KDE, so it kinda makes up for it.

GFGJewbacca OP ,

That’s why I’m calling it a playground fight. They’re both good, but right now I’m loving KDE. GNOME is really beautiful. I organized the taskbar in KDE to be similar to default GNOME, but with some extra stuff that I’m digging too.

GFGJewbacca OP ,

Sleek is a great way to describe GNOME. It’s really pretty and slick, and I was sure happy with how it worked. Plus, with all my google accounts hooked into GNOME, Evolution just pulled all that info and gave me real easy access to my mail. I wish KMail did the same thing.

GFGJewbacca OP ,

Yes! I wholeheartedly agree with you. There are pieces of GNOME I wish I could bring into KDE, and vice versa.

GFGJewbacca OP ,

You and me both. While we’re at it, why not toss Dubbya in there too?

GFGJewbacca ,

Man, I miss those two. I practically grew up on them

GFGJewbacca ,

Sailor moon, you ain’t got no hands!

GFGJewbacca ,

I’ve seen the same thing in our 2 month old daughter. Spot on.

GFGJewbacca ,

He says, “Bill, I believe this is killing me,”

As a smile ran away from his face.

“Well I’m sure that I could be a movie star,

If I could get out of this place.”

GFGJewbacca ,

That’s a pretty cute looking void. Does it make anything else disappear, like sadness?

GFGJewbacca ,

Or as I like to say, “Carpe Denim,” seize the pants.

GFGJewbacca ,

That’s some Shadowrun level dystopian shit

GFGJewbacca ,

Thank goodness. I could really use this for my laptop.

GFGJewbacca ,

Tell that to the US government. There’s a reason the United States isn’t part of the ICC.

Sea turtle nests break records on US beaches, but global warming threatens their survival (apnews.com)

Just as they have for millions of years, sea turtles by the thousands made their labored crawl from the ocean to U.S. beaches to lay their eggs over the past several months. This year, record nesting was found in Florida and elsewhere despite growing concern about threats from climate change....

GFGJewbacca ,

Thank you for pointing this out. I feel like so many folks don’t understand this crucial piece of information.

GFGJewbacca ,

Fedora 39, and it runs beautifully on my gaming laptop. I’m pondering trying out the COSMIC DE for kicks, but I’m also liking GNOME 45.

GFGJewbacca ,

Same here. I love it when people point out stuff I’ve missed.

GFGJewbacca ,

I’m a simple man. I see Dark Crystal, I upvote

GFGJewbacca ,

According to Amnesty International, yes.

GFGJewbacca ,

Damn it, I was hoping to make the obvious Chanukkah joke. I’m stealing this one.

GFGJewbacca ,

I thought that was the reference! Good to know I’m not crazy.

I want to believe you, but source please?

GFGJewbacca ,

Just the sort of thing I was looking for. Thanks, internet stranger!

GFGJewbacca ,

I updated from Fedora 38 yesterday, and my Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 is working even better than before. The tool for controlling the discreet graphics card is working flawlessly now, unlike before. I would strongly recommend upgrading.

GFGJewbacca ,

I’m talking about asusctl, supergfxclt, and rog-control-center which is a GUI front end for the previous two items. You can find lots of info and guides on it here.

GFGJewbacca ,

I was using Thunderbird when I switched to Fedora, but then I found out about Evolution. If you use GNOME, I think it’s much better.

GFGJewbacca ,

That right there is a prime example of a good dog. Make sure they know it.

GFGJewbacca ,

I’m deeply sorry for your loss. I am a hospital chaplain, so I have been with families as their loved ones have died in settings like this. If you want to talk to someone, I’m here for you.

GFGJewbacca ,

Why the hell does the article conclude with his record as a coach for the most recent football season? How is that relevant to the story? Dude sexually harassed someone, and actually faced consequences. That’s all that matters here.

GFGJewbacca ,

The point of “Messianic Judaism” is to make Jews convert to Christianity. It has nothing to do with actual Judaism. It’s people LARPing to “save souls.”

GFGJewbacca ,

I’m Jewish clergy, which makes it even harder for me to express my thoughts on Israel and it’s government. I worked for a proudly stated Zionist congregation, and I know without a doubt that if I had been honest with my thoughts on the Israeli government, I’d have been fired on the spot.

GFGJewbacca ,

I haven’t listened to that song/album in forever. Looks like I gotta relisten to it
