Because hard drives aren't getting any bigger lately and I don't want to multiply the size of my videogame music collection by ten?

Strawberry doesn't support about a dozen audio formats I use, so until it's got wider support I have to pass.

Thank you! I don't even plan to subscribe to any of their content, but they stuck out in a sea of instances that sounded like Canadian legal problems waiting to happen.

There's a real chance that my employer will abruptly ban Chinese-branded phones from their network.

The link goes to the wrong article. I think OP meant to post https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/07/11/libreoffice-24-2-5/ .

P.S. Torrents aren't available yet are now available.

Looks like they put the oversized load on a boat for as long as they could, but have to do the last leg by road.

This looks like a major update to a well-established improvement hack. A retranslation with ability name changes, more detailed maps, and that Bishop softlock bug should be long stomped.

You've just described the entire language of Toki Pona. The same string of words can mean "bear" or "elephant", and I copied a phrase someone used to mean "tiger trap" and it was read as "bamboo arch".

Many cats are demonstrative. Meowing + running off = "follow me!" Meowing + food bowl = "feed me!" Meowing + walking up to you = "pet me!"

The mixture is my point. Some things are better. Some things are worse. I specified for women because the backlash against woke has already hurt women badly.

If you are a woman, do you think society was in better shape in 2012 or today? Standing Confederate monuments, hostility to trans people, and all?

Undertale is the obvious suggestion, although it's more deconstructive than Earthbound.

Did LO discontinue distribution via torrent?

Edit: torrents are now up. Does it always take a day?

Gentoo seems great if you want to experiment with patches to major programs or system libraries. That's what I used it for.

Leave a bad review. I did get halfway back.

cURL is a very commonly used program to download individual files from the command line and worth installing to have it around in the future.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl

The first command tells your package manager to update its list so you ask for the latest version. You can skip it if you've already updated today. The second command tells your package manager to install cURL.

This will happen every now and then, especially when building a package from source. You won't have some common utility that the documentation writer assumed you had, and you will need to find what package provides it and install the package.

From your other responses, this is a system issue not a problem with the website.

Lemmy.world's code has this font list for sans-serif: system-ui,-apple-system,"Segoe UI",Roboto,"Helvetica Neue","Noto Sans","Liberation Sans",Arial,sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji","Segoe UI Symbol","Noto Color Emoji"

I'd use the dev tools to check which font is being rendered. I'm on Windows so I get Segoe UI, which I find entirely acceptable.

Chrono Trigger is around 25 hours for a casual playthrough. Great game with a very fast pace for its genre but it seems way too long for OP.

The US has lots of land that doesn't require irrigation, but also lots of land that can grow crops if irrigated. Some of that land in California is some of the best farmland in the whole country, growing things that prefer California's Mediterranean climate (similar to parts of Australia's southwest coast).

We have the technology and have had it for a while. But we don't have the laws and habits of dry countries so US water laws are a wasteful mess.

An irrigation canal like this is a big ditch to move water from a river to near farm fields. Without the extra water taken from the river, there wouldn't be enough water in the soil for crops to grow in the area.

Being a big ditch open to the sky, the hot sun and dry air make a bunch of the irrigation water evaporate before it even gets to the field. So we went to all the effort of taking water out of the river just to waste it humidifying the nearby air.

Why did we do it in the first place? Because it's way easier and cheaper to dig a ditch than to lay a big pipe, and I don't know if the US had any other water-delivery tech at the right scale when these were built.
