  • This is the year of Firefox-on-the-desktop. I can feel it.

  • The only one that isn't a great match is Mace Windu. The forehead to chin ration is way off.

    Gave me Mandark-vibes, of Dexter's Laboratory fame unoe.

  • Maybe he broke his arms.

    Broken arms meme, we meet again!

  • Programmatically, what does the kernel actually do with data sent to /dev/null?

    I imagine it's like getting nullified in that olde show ReBoot.

  • Then they moved to motorcycle forks

    Maybe they can do Y-Wings next.

  • WinAmp owners

    I'm a visual person so I need to put a face to these windowlickers to laugh at in my head.

    Is it this guy?

  • Maybe a tooling manager like mise or asdf.

  • Ohh that's a classic

  • unborn (but possibly viable) babies being left behind (by any species even) when the pregnant mother disappeared in the snap.

    This scenario didn't even enter my head when I posed the question. That's some Stephen King-level imagery though—a snapped mother disappearing only for an amniotic sac to drop in her place.

  • Do viruses get snapped too or na

    And da babies in-utero? Did the Infinity Gauntlet go by conception or 24-weeks?

  • One always lies, and the other also always lies.

    One knows how you die, and the other knows when.

  • I mean, Snapper did its job. My hardware failed. I managed to get it going again by hammering the button with my finger.

    Yeah, I get that.

    It's more that your post reminded me of another one I'd seen where someone didn't read one of those "advisories" before updating Arch. And Timeshift couldn't save them, so they had to figure out how to get everything up and running again.

    If I recall correctly, they did get it running again fine, it just took a few hours. But I've been meaning to try and find somewhere to learn more about fixing failed boot, but the spartan grub prompt scares me, lmao!

    I'm assuming Snapper can fail for the same reason Timeshift did for that guy.

  • This is what scares me with snapper.
    \ It's reliable so I haven't had to figure out what to do if/when it does break.

    Scurry thoughts

  • Aw that sounds terrible. But also, sounds like a unique and interesting reaction! I wonder if it's just the fur, or if the body and joints contribute too like you were saying—maybe you could have a a sphinx if it's the former.

  • I recently learned that I'm not a cat-person

    How do you mean? "[R]ecently learned ... and it made me very sad." Makes it sound like you discovered you had an allergy or something?

    There's medicine for that though—I got asthma attacks from being with cats, so I used inhalers for example.
    \ There might be a way!

  • Lithuania installs ‘dragon’s teeth’

    They gon' have to set up some laser and flame turrets next.
    \ I played Factorio, so I noe.

  • Sch-sch-scho cute! 🥺

    And strangely, sounds like a poison gun I picked up in Borderlands.
