This was posted in my D&D party’s group chat. Lorenzo steps outside to take a call, things are moving but we were still collecting evidence. Ten minutes later, he returns to “Hey, we solved all the murders and are about to enter combat with all the bad guys at once, roll initiative”

Puffymumpkins ,

Can confirm. There was a “Hispanic” girl at my high school whose parents were actually from Spain.

[Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.

I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones....

Puffymumpkins ,

Ooh, gonna add that to my phrasebook

What’s a Layer 8

Puffymumpkins ,

Gonna go take a shit in 6 minutes. See you soon Jeffery

My favorite feature of the x/2+7 rule is that it implies you shouldn’t be dating below the age of 14. Run any number lower than 14 through it to see what I mean. You can’t reasonably say a 6 year old should only date people older than 10 and also younger than -2.

Puffymumpkins ,

You got the order of operations backwards for the max age. It’s (x-7)/2

Puffymumpkins ,

Sometimes you just need to crop the image a bit and repost

Puffymumpkins ,

This is why I am so grateful for my gf. I have no motivation and need someone to push me forward in life, she’s a workaholic and needs someone to help her slow down and relax. We really balance each other out

Puffymumpkins ,

Fantastic if you need a computer in your pocket. Terrible for everything else

Puffymumpkins ,

These things are called skinny pigs. They’re sort of like the pugs of the rodent world, in that they were designed like this because some people think they look cute. Like pugs, their life is eternal suffering. They will never know what it feels like to be warm. They will get sick easier since their body is already battling the freezing 70°F air we prefer, and they also are as inbred as a purebred dog. Their life is short and sad and not worth the $300 per hungry scrotum (and you must get at least two or they will get lonely; for reference, a normal piggy cost about $20-$40)

To make matters worse, one of the ways that piggies argue is by tearing out each other’s butt hair. These little bastard children of somebody’s discarded foreskin have no butt hair. Thusly, you will find out that your little scrotumlings had an argument when you see one of them bleeding, which will need immediate medical attention and might get them infected with something.

The best way to allow your little shivering scrotum to temporarily be not miserable to provide a heating pad to warm themselves in (and pee/poop all over) and lots of loose blankets or cloth to burrow in.

Puffymumpkins ,

Only as much as yours is.

Puffymumpkins ,

Especially appropriate since every piggy’s goal in life is to become the most rotund specimen. I imagine this one’s fitness goals involve him being the biggest ballsack in existence, with four little legs sticking out of the side and a food hole in the front

Fun fact: Guinea pigs display dominance by shaking their ass menacingly. They have no depth perception, so they make themselves look bigger by waving their ass back and forth while staring their opponent down. I suspect it is only called “rumble strutting” because pet owners don’t want to say their little boys are in a thunder thigh competition.

Puffymumpkins ,

On the bright side, most modern phones can read a flash drive from the USB-C port, so you can just carry a 256 GB flash drive on your Keychain and you’re all good

Puffymumpkins ,

OG Neon Genesis Evangelion is a good example of this

Puffymumpkins ,

YOU WOULDN’T COPY A CAR

Puffymumpkins ,

I block every one I see, because this isn’t my porn account. I have another account on Lemmynsfw.com if I want horny time

Puffymumpkins ,

Why would you shoplift from a library? That seems immoral

Puffymumpkins OP ,

My daily driver is Zorin OS. I just want to be able to use windows without dual-booting, if I have to.

Although tbh my only hesitancy with setting up dual-booting is that I don’t want to have to format my computer again. It might be my best option in the end though.

Puffymumpkins OP ,

If memory serves, I did install an AMD graphics card. Definitely need to look into this. Thank you so very much

Puffymumpkins OP ,

I’m interested. Comment when you remember.

What is the fediverse equivalent to TikTok?

Obviously Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc. are federated decentralized equivalent to their centralized counterparts, but what is the counterpart in the fediverse to TikTok? It is a dominant app for millions of people, and as far as I can tell the closest thing is Peertube, but isn’t that more of a YouTube equivalent? Does it...

Puffymumpkins ,

I think you just need to make a peertube client that allows you to scroll up and down

What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?

I’ll go first, I took my mom’s college textbooks which came with discs for a couple distros and failed to install RHEL before managing to get Fedora Core 4 working. The first desktop environment I used was KDE and despite trying out a few others over the years I always come back to plasma. Due to being like 12, I wanted to...

Puffymumpkins ,

About 10. Used Tails to use my dad’s laptop to watch Battlestar Galactica until 3 am.

I didn’t see the point of mainstream distros at the time because

  1. I was 10 and was forbidden from computers at the time
  2. Windows 7 was great

Linux taught me self-confidence

I have never considered myself to be tech-savvy. However, there is a running gag in my immediate family where I claim to be terrible with computers (eg. “I dont think i could find that, my google-fu is weak”) which my family responds to by reminding me of that one time I did that one cool thing (eg. reminding me about I...

Puffymumpkins OP ,

It’s such a rejected behavior to even consider suspending you for this.

They did take the smooth-brain interpretation of “He figured this out because he was buying drugs on the school computer” instead of considering that if that was my motivation, I would no longer be able to buy drugs on the school computer after telling them

It was a very enlightening experience for me LOL

Puffymumpkins OP ,

I didn’t get a suspension because my parents and social worker went to bat for me. But still

Puffymumpkins OP ,

I think you misunderstood the timeline. But your point would have been valid back then. I was a bit obsessed with the screen time that I wasn’t allowed at home, and did some pretty bad things to my parents computers so I could watch Warehouse 13 and Battlestar Galactica until 3 am.

I distinctly remember a moment when I was 21 when I suddenly realized that I could actually control my impulses. It’s so freeing to have a fully developed prefrontal cortex.

Puffymumpkins ,

The amount of bloatware in windows 10 made me very uncomfortable (and the fact that they stopped supporting briefcases infuriated me) so I stayed on Windows 7 until Microsoft stopped supporting it in 2020. Tried out some distros like Mint, Pop OS, Puppy Linux. The one I liked the feel of most was Zorin OS.

The main thing that surprised me was how little I actually understood about what Microsoft has become. I did not know, for example, that you can use the Office apps online until this week. I also had been completely oblivious to Minecraft Java Edition being forked into a Linux Edition until I tried to install it. It honestly feels like waking up from a 5 year coma, where everything seems familiar but slightly different.

My main regret is that I can’t tell people I’m terrible with computers now, since my family and friends know I use Linux. The upside of this is I’ve gained some confidence with tech since I can’t just throw up my hands and go “oh no, i cant fix this, my tiny monkey brain could never comprehend the arcane arts”

Puffymumpkins ,

I usually say that, but still poke at it until I figure out how hard the problem is:

  • If I can easily figure out how to fix the problem, I will fix
  • If I know what the problem is but can’t figure out how to fix it, they get a free diagnosis followed by "idk how to fix that on your device"
  • If I got no clue what is going on, I tell them that I have no clue what’s going on. I occasionally reccomend ritual magic, like leaving citrine/quartz under the monitor or letting the computer sit overnight in the light of the moon. It works sometimes ig?

Tbh the only reason I can get away with the free help is that I live a slow-paced life and usually only speak to 2-5 different people each day

Puffymumpkins ,

I think as Mastodon gets more popular, we will see more interesting tags pop up

Puffymumpkins ,

Good to know, but I also know I’m too lazy to keep ahead of the corpo squad long-term. VPN for me!

Puffymumpkins ,

I get your point, but by the time I finished reading your comment my brain stopped registering nazi as anything more than a series of letters

Puffymumpkins ,

The article was posted in 2013. It is exactly a decade old. And kids still cant use computers today

Puffymumpkins ,

I wonder if an apk version of iMessage exists out there

Puffymumpkins ,

26 is still Gen z

Puffymumpkins ,

Totally agree on this. I figured out boot-loading and learned good online hygene when I was 12, purely because my parents were extremely tech-savvy themselves and enforced their internet ban very well. I didn’t get a phone until high school either. I know others my age can relate. Computers and the modern internet have been around my whole life.

You can’t stop me from making a new account named SuckOnMyToes69

Puffymumpkins ,

My understanding is that they contribute to the Linux kernel for the same reason Google funds Firefox. If you have competition, you can’t be a monopoly

Puffymumpkins ,

I see no reason to not instantly defederate. This is 10 times worse that anything I see on Lemmygrad.ml

@fediverse Hi Fediverse! This is so much cooler than Reddit could dream.

Puffymumpkins , (edited )

What the fuck

How can Mastodon see this?

What in the absolute balls

Puffymumpkins , (edited )

kbin.social can receive Lemmy and Mastodon content and reply but Lemmy and Mastodon cannot view posts from kbin.social

Honestly this part of is why I prefer using Lemmy and Mastodon seperate. I don’t trust things that claim to be an everything machine. Swiss army knives suck

It really blows my mind that Lemmy and Mastodon can ACTUALLY talk to each other

Puffymumpkins ,

It would indeed be one of the things that exist

Puffymumpkins ,

Alternatively, maybe silicon valley tech bros live in an alternate reality where the fediverse is mainstream, and Zuckerbot thinks he’s just joining in on a popular thing. Idk how he expects to make money on this though. Maybe it’s just a way to make shareholders excited so they throw money at him.

Puffymumpkins ,

I think that sentiment is much older. I’d peg its origin to Usenet, but I’ve no sources

Puffymumpkins ,

Based on a quick scroll through Digital Wellbeing over the past month, these seem to be my most used apps, excluding the default apps

  1. Newpipe (by a wide margin, I didn’t realize how much I used it)
  2. Crew
  3. Brave (this represents both my time on Lemmy and Mastodon)
  4. Follow (for my gf’s dexcom)
  5. ADP Mobile (I’m bumping this up here because I open it more times per day than any app below this. My daily screen time for this app is usually 1m or less)
  6. Vampire v5 Characters (genuinely had no idea how much time I was sinking into making characters for a game I have not played and likely will never play because 5e is the only ttrpg that exists ☹️)
  7. My banking app, not telling you which one
  8. Pokemon Go
  9. Fifth Edition Character Sheet
  10. SuperTuxKart (even more than Fdroid‽)
Puffymumpkins ,

This is correct. The natural numbers are better known as the counting numbers, and do not include 0 or the negative numbers. I personally think the classification is a bit bullshit given how they really only matter in meatspace. I have never seen the distinction between integers and natural numbers come up in real mathematics
