Haha, this is perfect. You encapsulated Shadowrun combat perfectly. How does the Darkness fair in the matrix is my question.

This is the correct answer

That always makes me think of this great moment from "Men In Black."

I'm glad at least someone on Lemmy is talking about what's been happening in Sudan. Too many of us are neglecting their plight, along with those in Ethiopia, The Ivory Coast, CAR and The DRC.

The "live, laugh, love" pillow is a nice touch. I wouldn't mind this kind of poltergeist in my house...as long as they make good design choices.

Uh... Chanukkah is the least important holiday on the calendar. A shitty thing for this guy to do, but the high holy days were months ago.

I can understand why the government would want to do away with the colonial language. It's a reminder of a dark time. However, the decision of what the official language(s) should be can lead to some tricky politics. If one local language is elevated, it gives an advantage to those who grew up speaking it. This is especially hard for minority languages from indigenous peoples.

An example of this is in Botswana, where I'm currently living. The Tswana people came up from South Africa and displaced indigenous populations like the San and Herero. After independence in 1966 from being a British protectorate, they made English the official language and Setswana the national language. English is used in education and government, but everyone is also expected to learn Setswana to function in society. For those who didn't grow up speaking Setswana or who don't learn it, it's harder or impossible to get good healthcare or a good job.

Language politics can get really messy when there are lots of local languages. I worry about what might happen as a result of this decision.

My wife and I are caring for our 2 month old daughter, and this just scared me a bunch. We're not using formula from the company in question, but the fact that this happens is terrifying.

I heard GLADOS as I was reading that too. I loved both games. Took me a long time to beat the single player of Portal 2, but damn it was worth it

Yes! I wholeheartedly agree with you. There are pieces of GNOME I wish I could bring into KDE, and vice versa.

I've been running Nobara on my Surface Pro 4, which is based on Fedora. It comes with all the surface drivers built in, which really helps. It's been working pretty well for me.

Carl's Jr has deemed you an unfit parent!

Lawyers for the 14-year-old and her parents say that American “knew or should have known the flight attendant was a danger.” They say the failure of other crew members to confiscate the employee's phone allowed him to destroy evidence.

Well that's pretty damning. Makes me wonder how many other times this flight attendant has done this.

You mean Tux?

Sleek is a great way to describe GNOME. It's really pretty and slick, and I was sure happy with how it worked. Plus, with all my google accounts hooked into GNOME, Evolution just pulled all that info and gave me real easy access to my mail. I wish KMail did the same thing.

That's why I'm calling it a playground fight. They're both good, but right now I'm loving KDE. GNOME is really beautiful. I organized the taskbar in KDE to be similar to default GNOME, but with some extra stuff that I'm digging too.

I hear you there. I like the workflow of GNOME, and I wish I could make the app launcher in KDE be as minimalist as the GNOME launcher in ArcMenus. But at the same time, a number of things I was using the launcher for can be done as a keystroke in KDE, so it kinda makes up for it.

I do agree that GNOME is really beautiful. I spent time making the taskbar more like GNOME before commiting to using KDE.

You and me both. While we're at it, why not toss Dubbya in there too?

Man, I miss those two. I practically grew up on them
