  • Not disagreeing but I've never heard Former President Carter referred to as Mr.

  • I enjoyed it but admit it was imperfect. They should keep remaking it though, I'd happily watch yet another remake it in a decade or so.

  • Yeah that does look real, not sure if it does more good than harm by putting it on a billboard.

    And unfortunately it does seem to be common enough that even as a guy I've met a woman who had this happen to her and told me, and assumably many others who didn't say anything about the experience.

  • Texas Instruments ROM Basic, then later PC-DOS (not MSDOS)

  • Good to know, thanks. I would have googled it eventually.

  • This act is so common the US has PSA billboards about it (e.g. Your Daughter Is Not Your Date! ).

    Is this real?

  • I remembered reading about it happening soon (?) for certain kinds of security updates (?) somewhere but it's almost 2am here and I'm having difficulty googling a reliable and thorough source but it sounds like users will have to subscribe to Ubuntu Pro to get certain kinds of update, although it might be free under certain circumstances.

    I don't know, Ubuntu has treated me well the last decade but I'm willing to explore other distros if it seems like it'll be unnecessarily commericalized. Will read up more in the morning.

  • I also had a B-series in high school that I posted about in another thread, with a cap on the back it was great for camping and hauling things around. So many good memories. A setup like that is also perfect for many contractors.

  • Since Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, are you being asked to pay for security updates? Using Ubuntu right now and looking to switch soonish

  • Chicago of all places, wow this is going to be epic

  • I like it. Sure

  • Ants do not have skulls

  • So, hey, can someone explain to me about Linux Mint, like since it is derivative of Ubuntu does that mean that the new system of having to pay for Ubuntu updates is inherited by Mint?

  • Lemmy is missing the small communities and frankly, most of the medium sized communities that Reddit has. I don't find the userbase that toxic but of course there is the occasional twat to deal with, luckily the blocking system is more robust than Reddit's. Hopefully user growth will continue and people that still use Reddit will promote Lemmy and the Fediverse there enough to feed the exodus.

  • They were amazing pioneers of shitposting and circlejerking but some people considered them something of a hate group for their callouts of specific subcultures. I'm suggesting that aspect of things that OP is describing isn't exactly new.

    But yeah, agreed, the swift, stark ban policy was very effective in creating a "civil" society there - idiots showed up to fuck around, bam hope they've got 10 more bucks if they want to try again under a different account.

  • Steak only has bacteria on the surface and only needs the surface to be seared, while hamburger, even from a single cow, has been mixed so that any bacteria is present throughout.

  • Worst case? Covert Israeli influence to propel the far-right into power in Spain. A return to Franco-era fascism. Not terribly likely but it's hard to imagine worse.

  • If getting a complete tan is wrong I dont want to be right
