Nom OP ,

The only thing that used to hold me back was Notepad+. Try using sites like Alternativeto.net to find and test the open source alternatives to what you use on windows first to see if they’re good enough.

Nom OP ,

It’s only 13 years old… 👴🪦

Nom OP ,

I did find it, thus the past tense. I used Notepad+ like I use a browser, with lots of tabs open and having the sessions carried over to the next run of the application. Let alone the line listings on the side and it being a pretty good xml & html editor. Besides it’s open source so what’s not to love 🤷‍♂️

Nom OP ,

I highly suggest Mint. Fucking around in Arch is actually nice but mint is more “windows like”. You should experiment with Arch once you get more comfortable with Linux in general, or you like reading documentations a lot. You can dual boot a linux setup(on maybe a 50-100GB partition?) first to check if you like it or not.

If you do plan to get mint then get Mint Debian edition(LMDE 6 “Faye”). Better to be free from any corporate influence(Canonical, IBM etc).

Nom OP ,

Kate. It’s honestly overkill for what I do, and Xed(Mint default) has come a long way.

Missing mother found dead inside 16-foot-long python after it swallowed her whole in Indonesia (www.cbsnews.com)

A woman has been found dead inside the belly of a snake after it swallowed her whole in central Indonesia, a local official said Saturday, marking at least the fifth person to be devoured by a python in the country since 2017....

Nom ,

I’ve got some bad news for you mate…

The reticulated python is the longest snake in the world, according to London’s Natural History Museum. They are native to Southern Asia and can grow to be more than 20 feet long.

The longest reticulated python ever found in the wild was discovered in 1912, according to the museum, and was measured to be nearly 33 feet long – “more than half the length of a bowling lane and makes this snake longer than a giraffe is tall.”

Zoo Atlanta, which houses reticulated pythons, says the snakes “have a reputation for being aggressive.”

The snakes are occasionally kept as pets in the U.S.

Last year, a 14-foot-long reticulated python was found dead on side of the road on Long Island, prompting a search for its owner.

In 2022, a 16-foot albino reticulated python that slithered through a Texas neighborhood for months was finally rescued and returned to its owner.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to...

Nom ,

The problem with this reasoning is that many of the popular communities are actually on lemmy.ml, and they’re not so easy to replace.

Very true, I saw a post about censorship posted on !mildlyinfuriating that happened in !comics (instead of another instance with the same subject community) possibly because of this reason OP mentioned. This complaint post was also deleted from the community because it was violating the rules which I suppose it was since this was the reason:

The title of the post in the picture above was the reason given by the comics mod:

My unpopular opinion however is that simply de-federating won’t help as it just promotes those instances into becoming louder echo chambers. I think the simpler solution would be to have a dedicated community for mod abuse (I’m aware of !modabuse but .world blocked /c/piracy so…) , so users can be aware of said issues and create or migrate to different communities as we see fit. Besides, users can simply block entire instances for themselves. Please don’t comment on the paradox of tolerance as I just mentioned blocking for oneself already.

P.S.

Devs please make it easier to browse the modlog, having to press the next button is bafflingly tedious. I had to resort to editing the url to browse faster, add a jump to by time/date or something.

I’m doing the same, I rarely ever have to use it unless compelled to by work or simply a lazy site with less compatibility for anything beyond google.

Two more US officials resign over Biden administration’s position on Gaza war (www.theguardian.com)

Alexander Smith, a contractor for the US Agency for International Development (USAID), said he was given a choice between resignation and dismissal after preparing a presentation on maternal and child mortality among Palestinians, which was cancelled at the last minute by USAID leadership last week....

Nom ,

I don’t know if I should be happy or sad. On one hand officials actually taking a stand against injustice, and on the other the only people who actually gives a shit about the good and will of the people are leaving being fired.

Nom ,

We don’t have to think hard as it actually is a bipartisan issue. Their lifestyles are now harder to track by us so it helps both party’s and their sugar daddies/mommies.

Saying such things makes them call you anti-Semitic. Even though you are supporting Bernie, a jewish man who is also calling for an end to this slaughter.

Going Under

Donno if weird coincidence but there’s a free game on Itch about an employee going on a rampage in a corporate office named Rising Up. You can just watch it on the official itch channel on YT. Also Piped link. Reaffirmed my love for video games 🤣

Although all soulslikes are a bit difficult Grime would be my suggestion, a 2D platformer. It felt easy enough to me but I mainly enjoyed the aesthetics of it.

Ba Sing Se is the capital of a kingdom in Avatar: The Last Airbender where information was being suppressed to put it simply. It’s a good watch.

Customers will notice the change on their next bill. Netflix has quietly put up its prices across each subscription tier in Australia.

Why is this even legal, oh who am I kidding lobbying most likely. They began notifying people on May 13. Thanks for the correction @blindsight.

Use sonar loud enough and it’ll kill or at least damage pretty much every marine life it reaches, so humans win the battle. But lose the war because us winning just means mutually assured destruction.

Nom ,

Why the fuck would I mean explosives, did you think by kill I meant their heads would explode? Most marine life depend on sounds more than us as such have more sensitive hearing which get disrupted and damaged more easily because of it by the sounds we make, especially sonar.

Not a dog expert(don’t even have a dog) but I consulted this list. The ears seem to be long cropped to me though I can’t be certain.

I was and still am an arena shooter junkie, but this one bike game actually made me dizzy with how fast one could go. But I still miss it cause the tunes in it slapped hard.

P.S: The Flame exhausts were the best.

Nom ,

Exactly.

I’ll never forget the 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests and how the CCP responded. And how so many people of Wuhan suffered because of them, not to mention all the whistleblowers that are still missing.

‘Total outrage’: White House condemns Israeli settlers’ attack on Gaza aid trucks (www.theguardian.com)

Video of the incident on Monday at Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, showed settlers blocking the trucks and throwing boxes of much-needed supplies on the ground. Photographs from the scene showed piles of damaged aid packages and drifts of rice and flour across the road....

Tongue popping at every few atrocities is nice and all but we’re still waiting on proper sanctions. Grow a backbone, ask the college kids if you don’t know how.

As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?

As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion....

Nom OP ,

And still is, it shouldn’t be this way. Stop Killing Games really needs to take off.

I feel bad for The Onion, their job just keeps getting harder & harder. They should probably switch their business to fortune-telling.

Nom ,

This is some nice advice but

Treat them like you would any of your male friends.

Don’t do this. Understand that you wouldn’t do this with any random guy either. As with any new acquaintances everyone is cautious in the beginning and women more so. Whether you find the new girl appealing or not all you have to do is cautiously get to know her through your interactions with her, like any other relations you may build with initial strangers and get used to their presence and predilections.

SHHH!! Don’t say that shit out loud you’re gonna raise the competition.

Someone check the Thoughts and prayers counter, it must be raking in lots of pro-lifer support by now.

You could’ve just said “Correlation does not imply causation” and moved on but man…

When most people have to worry about their rent & food everyday of their life while working for ludicrous amounts of time every week, having a family or relationships in general just look like more expenses for the individual. It’s not an issue only men face either.

Nom ,

The OP is a joke post, you don’t have to try so hard to prove your point since the OP is not even trying to be consistent.
