Package manager choice is pretty important, and for that I always recommend debian-based for a pc for a new Linux user. APT is just so good.

It always seems like 1 step forward, 2 steps back with console gaming

Who needs credit cards when I’m rich enough to build an above-ground bulletproof bunker powered by supercooled 5-tesla magnets

While accurate, we’ll probably never find out if they end up being the ones responsible for his assassination.

Yeah I know he is already, but if he becomes more overt about it then the government will be more likely to be overt about treating him as such

Or rather, they assassinate him themselves, since someone who has held clearance higher than any other member of the US government is a liability if he becomes disloyal to the US

Could I theoretically make my home immune to guns by surrounding it with kevlar-coated MRIs

Medical device manufacturers also threatened iFixit because it posted ventilator repair manuals on its website.

What the fuck is wrong with people. Anyone who opposes the right to repair for MEDICAL DEVICES is irredeemable.

Time to set my VPN to California

Why

I don’t have to be related to someone to be able to imagine what life would be like in their shoes, how what I would want to do if in their position might affect others, and ultimately whether or not we should ban something, provide aid for something, or ignore something.

The republican electorate seems largely incapable of doing that, and that’s why republican officials act surprised when people vote for the good of anyone other than themselves.

Farting declared illegal in Arkansas

I guess you could say they’re plugging up the discussion!

In all seriousness, it takes more humanity to make a relevant joke than to identify an object in an image, analyze the accompanying text, and form a response that answers the question without a trace of a smart-ass tone.

The old sci-fi books were right. You can’t teach a robot to laugh. Not in the same way people do, with the tech we currently have, at least.

I just wish more people would be helpful after making their joke, all within the same comment. Keep it engaging and relevant rather than picking just one lane.

But wasn’t he just claiming a few weeks back that Kamala Harris wasnt black enough?

Sure Donny. Their rhetoric is of violence and intolerance for their fellow man. Right.

I really only need like 2 or 3 mm of extra nail on one thumb to open oranges and grapefruits perfectly fine. Anything longer than that and it becomes unwieldy and unhygienic.

I accept that people sometimes keep their nails long. That acceptance comes with a caveat that I will not be eating anything handled by hands with long nails.

Serves that law firm right tbh

Who let JD Vance onto Lemmy?

I have a feeling USB drives will be readable for a long time to come, considering that we still use the standard almoat everywhere, nearly 28 years after its introduction.

That said, copying the data from old archives into new formats is always a good idea

Edit: I was envisioning actual external hard disk or solid state drives accessible using a USB connection. Thumb drives and other ultra-portable data formats are notorious for poor data integrity over time.
