  • hisses protectively from atop a musty hoard of green USB to ps/2 adapters

  • I've got a pellet stove that can run for many hours off of a small portable battery backup.

    Heat pump would be preferable, though.

  • Wizard: I'm too drunk to walk...or fly...

    Bard: I've got it. Rubs a small jello cube with a cloth

    DM: A slightly moist skateboard appears.

    Party: What the hell is that?

    DM: That's what happens when you gleam the cube.

  • Holy shit, is the man in the bird mask the one who left all those porno mags in the woods???

  • New Zealand Wizard: Yeah naw, you carked it, bro. That's a sweet-as fish. Seen it plenty of times on the poster in my shid. Kī tōnu taku waka topaki i te tuna.

  • It's 3 glitches in the matrix

  • He just needs to squeeze one eye a little bit and it would be a perfect "filling my diaper" face

  • Usenet and hard drives. LOTS of hard drives.

  • That dude is going to merge with his barcalounger one of these days and we will all end up watching a weirdly swole chair yelling about Apple, and I am totally here for that.

  • Ooh, I know this one! Here's what I did to get it working and set so it survives a reboot:

    1. In a terminal, run sudo arandr
    2. Set all of the monitors to 1080p
    3. Close arandr
    4. Go to Settings > Display
    5. Rearrange monitors in correct order if necessary
    6. Set the each monitor to the correct resolution and frequency, applying the settings after each update
    7. All monitors should now work, BUT they will not survive a reboot in Pop-OS 22, because the GDM3 login screen will NOT have this information, and will reset everything. So we must copy the pop-os monitors.xml file to the gdm3 config directory:

    sudo cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm3/.config/

    Note: You may need to do this as sudo -i

    1. Reboot, and all 3 monitors should be loaded in the correct positions, at the correct resolution at the login screen
  • I wonder how many fucking numbers and letters they will keep adding over the fucking years.

    Numbers and letters over the years:

    "You shall love your neighbor as yourself"

    Galations 5:14

    "Be genial, sweet and kind towards your companions."

    Mino-ī-Kherad, II.7

    “For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are ‘wise’—in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.”

    Jeremiah 4:22

  • Immutable OS is increasingly a thing

  • Republicans have only themselves to blame. They repealed the FCC Fairness Doctrine in 1987 and the personal attack and political editorial rules in 2000, all so they could go after their political opponents with impunity.

    The repeal of the Fairness Doctrine did a lot of damage to political discourse, but it was nothing compared to Citizens United. That Supreme Court decision not only gave the right of free speech to corporations with no legal requirement to disclose their funding, but it also nullified the Federal Election Commission rules about broadcasting attack ads within a certain period of time before federal elections and primaries.

    Citizens United is a right-wing political group formed in 1988 to produce attack ads and "documentaries" attacking their political opponents. They made a documentary length attack ad about Hilary Clinton that they wanted to air in 2008, which was an election year, and Clinton had announced her candidacy in 2007.

    The Citizens United group knew that they wouldn't be able to show their "documentary", so they sued the FEC on the grounds that the rules were a violation of the free speech rights of corporations, a concept that had previously only been applicable to actual human individuals. And the conservative Supreme Court majority, made up of proud Constitutionalists agreed.

    FYI, corporations do not appear in the Constitution, and Jefferson had this to say:

    I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

    And the final turd on top of the shit sandwich Trump will be eating soon: the President of Citizens United resigned in 2016...to become Trump's deputy campaign manager.

  • I have a Garmin watch with Garmin Pay. It works with exactly one of my bank accounts. They seem to only support giant banks like BofA, Chase, Wells Fargo, etc., and only a few of the very large credit unions.

    I suspect that a Venn diagram of FOSS fans and large bank haters/credit union enjoyers is probably pretty close to a circle.
