Does Lemmy do content warnings? If so maybe I should bite the bullet already and move.

I'm not a lemming and this isn't FOSS, but FoxIt will do at least some of what you want.

"Vote for me or the country gets it." How uplifting.

That's NPR, always speaking truth to power. 🙄 https://www.npr.org/sections/publiceditor/2009/06/21/105657917/harsh-interrogation-techniques-or-torture

I remember getting shit for this when I brought it up in my circle of friends in 2004. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0771119/

This is exactly what I thought his first episode back. He's living in an episode of The West Wing but it's all Mad Max out here.

I basically never smoke anymore since edibles are so accessible (and tasty).

A tie between HISHE and The Warp Zone.

May be due to watching Happy Days at a young age but I never questioned the legitimacy of Guinness world records until I saw hbomberguy's video on Tommy Tallarico. Kinda blew my mind.

I played the first half, years ago. Need to play the rest. Have heard good things.

I don't share my password but Disney+ is the one streamer my wife hasn't let me cancel. Would happily leverage even the slightest inconvenience to bolster my argument and ditch the mouse. Make my day, Mickey.

I went to see what thinkgeek dot com was selling these days. Sad to discover that they are no more.

I've heard people talking about the switch but I've not seen it yet on git for Windows. I'd upgrade but I need to set up a new remote box anyway (to replace my on-prem Bitbucket) and I don't need any hassles between now and whenever I get a chance to do that.

On kbin the picture is...Mitch McConnell? 🤔

MinTTY in Windows (for git bash) and whatever the default is in Debian

I'm not sure what needs optimizing. It's fine on Pixel Tablet.

I used to have all of them. Everybody got my money every month. Then all the prices went up. Now only one of them gets my money per month. It's not so much the expense. It's the principle.

Mel Brooks and David Attenborough seem like safe bets.

Thanks to the modding community we were able to play Mass Effect as if it were running on console many years before the Legendary Edition was available.

These days, for me the absolute minimum is full controller support due to the wife acceptance factor. She loved Dragon Age Inquisition so we tried to play Origins a couple years ago, and even though I'd cloned the displays, me sitting behind her at my computer instead of next to her on the couch was a deal breaker.

There are other plusses in terms of WAF, full voice narration and a good story being chief among them. There's a reason the only soulslike I've ever really played is Fallen Order. 😆

For me playing alone (which I almost never do anymore), one example I can think of is trying to go back to Dark Age of Camelot after playing WoW for a while. That was...painful.

Sia - Breathe Me (mainly because of Six Feet Under)

Honorable mention to Dan Folgelberg - Same Old Lang Syne.

I remember reading a book when I was a kid called The Dog Days of Arthur Cane. I think the fairy was a witch doctor but basically the same idea. As I recall, Arthur saw the best and the worst of humanity during his predicament. Sadly no Wikipedia page for the author but the book is on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2006378.The_Dog_Days_of_Arthur_Cane

Not a religion fan or a country music fan, but just thinking about Martina McBride singing O Holy Night makes me tear up a little.

Edit: erroneously said Trisha Yearwood when I meant Martina McBride

What the fuck is wrong with people? The whole world has gone insane.

Like others here I really enjoyed the early Trek computer games. I played several versions on the TRS-80 Model I. They were mostly turn based but one had real time elements. I actually got in trouble in college for using too much computer time in a Fortran class. I was porting one of those TRS-80 games to the VAX for fun, which honestly tells you how seriously I took college. What a twat.

I also fondly remember this officially licensed tabletop game where you could do 1v1 starship battles. It dropped around the time Search for Spock came out IIRC. I remember maneuvering was important. That was a blast. Wish I still had it.

I also really liked the starship battles in STO, but sadly that was about all I liked in that game.

Edit: fixed a word

I'd only ever had iPhones until about four years ago. Switching to Android wasn't a big deal for me since I was already using Signal to communicate with the three human beings with whom I regularly exchange text messages. I've probably opened the message app twice since the switch.

By chance I ran across a relevant video earlier today. Shopping should be fun! https://youtu.be/5kRLCKH6bA8?si=4E8KEGQhfJv8f8jZ

I'm still bummed that Bitbucket is going cloud-only. We've been using it on-premises for years and it has been lovely. Atlassian must be concerned that their customers won't follow them into the cloud bc they just sent out a customer survey (about two years two late).

You said it.

Lock out, tag out. Poor bastard.

Oh yes.

Christine is so adorable. I want to keep her safe. Tbh the whole damn SNW crew is adorable.

From the Wikipedia article linked below:

A rotor ship is a type of ship designed to use the Magnus effect for propulsion. The ship is propelled, at least in part, by large powered vertical rotors, sometimes known as rotor sails. German engineer Anton Flettner was the first to build a ship that attempted to tap this force for propulsion, and ships using his type of rotor are sometimes known as Flettner ships.

See also the Magnus effect.

It didn't need sequels or a TV show, and it darn sure doesn't need a reboot. No thanks, Hank.

Drew Carey had some material about this. I don't remember the whole bit, but part of it was about how after puberty, all your zits migrate down your back to your ass. 😆

No spoiler tags or guidance?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_writing#Inventions_of_writing

According to the article, experts currently believe that writing was invented independently at least four times:

• Mesopotamia (between 3400 and 3100 BCE)
• Egypt (around 3250 BCE)
• China (1200 BCE)
• Mesoamerica (by 500 BCE)

There is still debate around Rongorongo script and Vinča symbols, since no is sure if they are actually writing systems.

Dark Forces is the only classic FPS that ever gave me motion sickness.
