It really is amazing how I can mess up Linux installs for the weirdest of reasons.

Install arch from scratch on a laptop? Now it either doesn’t go to sleep when you close the laptop or a kernel panick.

Manjaro? Edited the config for the touchpad (of course it’s a random config file that you have to change line by line and read 3 wiki pages for, because Linux) because it doesn’t feel like windows and ran updates from the built in manager within the os. Now it doesn’t boot at all and causes the boot logo to ghost while using windows 10 installed on another partition.

Pop_os? Worked mostly fine, used it for months, broke it only once when using the built in package manager somehow fixed it, but stopped using that laptop and now I can’t boot into it at all.

Not to mention all of the software that partially doesn’t work or work at all. Like, my personal choice for image editing is paint.net, it’s not a useless meme like MS Paint, but also isn’t the equivalent of using a bucket wheel excavator for digging a hole in your backyard like Gimp. It also doesn’t work on Linux at all

I feel the same about my apartment door (my apartment was built in the 1970s), it has a mailbox attached to the inside of it and there is a slot in the door to put mail in it from the outside, it gets rarely used since most of the mail is delivered to the newer mailboxes installed by the stairs on the first floor, but If I’m not home, the delivery driver usually drops the slip in there.

However, below the mailbox is another, smaller, door that is intended specifically for newspapers. I tried to open it out of curiosity, but the latch was quite stiff and was painted over at some point, so probably the previous tenant also didn’t use it. That means that small door has probably been closed for at least a decade, if not more, and probably will remain closed forever.

And not everyone who speaks it as their 2nd or 3rd language makes that mistake

Also, I’d say that odds also favour places that nobody really gives a shit about, like sure, US, UK, China, Russia, large parts of Europe, and North Korea are probably guaranteed to be nuclear craters, but I doubt that any of the missiles are pointed at Africa or most of South America

Not to mention just randomly scrolling in public and whoops, it’s a random porn clip brought to you by lemmynsfw

I don’t remember any of the versions of this story involving money.

Nobody ever mentioned where the materials came from, it was just two dumbasses who decided to build their houses out of inferior materials

Say that under any thread about any billionaire and watch your comment get double digit downvotes

I’ll just turn it into my web browser

I have that and the infinity symbol on Firefox right now on my phone

The PSP also had that type of attachment here in Japan, but it uses the 1-seg standard that IIRC was made for phones and still exists

Meanwhile me with only Money and Another Brick in the Wall as the only Pink Floyd tracks in the whole digital library

I just support the fundamental rule that was taught to me in one of those internet safety PSAs back in the day: The internet never forgets and whatever you posted is going to stay out there forever, good or bad.

I’m going to try to explain the origins from memory so someone who knows more will probably explain better.

It comes from an book or a movie, where a husband is planning something nefarious (don’t remember if it’s a murder or something) and he uses the attic of his house to do it. This is set back in the days when they used gas for lighting things and when he turns on the lighting in the attic, it causes the lights to change (probably get dimmer) in the rest of the house. His wife notices this and brings it up to him, since he obviously doesn’t want to reveal that he is the one causing it, he constantly convinces his wife that it’s all in her head and that she might be losing her mind.

No idea, I really like having the numpad and all of the other keys that the full layout has on my Varmillo VA108

Counter-Strike moment

Can confirm, I bought my speaker wire second hand and the stuff is probably like at least 30 years old and sounds fine

Rules are rules and if you don’t follow them, the country doesn’t want you.

It’s a different conversation when you talk about the consequences of such policies, but that’s what the country decided and those are the rules.

Then too bad, I don’t have an option to fly into space, yet you won’t see me trying to glue myself to the next rocket that SpaceX launches.

For me everything is based on how they get there and how they conduct themselves.

I have been an immigrant to several countries and I still am, but

I had all of the proper paperwork,

I didn’t sneak across any borders illegally,

I didn’t overstay my visas,

I didn’t pay some guy on a boat to bring me there,

I didn’t commit any crimes that are worse than jaywalking,

I didn’t get clumped together with other people from my country and try to impose my values on the citizens of the country I was in,

I didn’t do any under the table work,

I paid all of my taxes.

These are the thing that I expect from others as well.

Probably asking for where to find a torrent and if there is any pesky DRM or subscription that will prevent it from working
