That’s disappointing; I always thought the one thing they got right was the 98/XP interface that Cinnamon copied.

I don’t agree, but I suppose that’s a fair assessment.

Wait, that’s the impact of nitrous oxide? Relaxed I can understand, but why would anyone seek out “light-headed and dizzy”?

As always, I don’t mean to criticize anyone who is safely enjoying their time as they desire, but that doesn’t sound fun to me. It sounds like being uncomfortably drunk.

What kind of lunatic is going to covertly monitor someone else’s shits?

I read it in my early twenties, almost twenty years ago. I am not a developer but am in the same area. I always wear some form of shoes when I leave my house unless I enter someone else’s house. I don’t think I have trouble with personal space but I don’t really see anyone other than my wife and kid.

I remember liking some of the themes of the book but, reflecting on it now, yes, Heinlein can be problematic.

This sounds like how Seinfeld describes checks.

That’s disappointing, but good to know. Thank you.

Thank you!

There’s a miniseries?!

Got it. Buy PS5, harvest memory.

Isn’t there a theory that one reason kissing is a thing is that it was a way for neanderthals and early humans to exchange germs / bacteria / whatever and thus help to build communal immune systems?

When I started at my current job, every new hire was given the choice of a MacBook or Linux laptop. I only encountered one person who chose the former and he only chose that because he thought it’d be funny to use Windows on a MacBook in his professional environment. (We were allowed to do pretty much whatever with our laptops so long as we could fulfill our work duties. My then manager replaced Ubuntu, with which we were provided, with Arch on his laptop.)

Two or so years later, the IT department said that they didn’t really know how to maintain security compliance on Linux, but they did know JAMF. Thus, they took away our customizable Linux laptops and foisted MacBooks on all of us. I’m pretty sure even the Windows guy lost that, but he was an exec so it probably took longer.

I still remember when they announced that this would happen. They said it without a timeline in the company-wide group chat and someone I respected previously and respected more afterwards said “so when are you taking away our good laptops?”

Yeesh. Walking though a web housing just one spider is bad enough … And that’s when there’s light for me to see what happened.

Hey, speak for yourself. The only reason I remembered DST was a thing was because I saw a bunch of posts here referencing it.

Thank you for the information.

This is probably also what I would say if I were ever found passed out in a ditch.

Will this still allow a mesh setup?

That’s why I want more than a “subtle lift.” I want a massive, exaggerated, cartoonishly unrealistic lift.

My dad, now passed, once said “I’m glad I won’t have to live in the world you kids are growing up in” (or approximately those words). He was primarily referring to privacy and rights, which I think were being directed by Bush at that time.

I was young and privileged enough that I had noticed a few worrying governmental trends but didn’t really feel myself affected, nor did I have much concern about the future. I now feel his words more impactfully.

(I know some of the prevailing sentiments on lemmy; I worry about our collective future but don’t resent my dad for his part in bringing me into this world. He was a good dad who provided me with a good life and set me up to continue that after he was gone and, even if that weren’t true, he couldn’t have predicted the world we’re in today.)
