I've only seen the first two parts of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

I was kind of past giving a shit. The teacher and I hated each other's guts, but she couldn't do a damn thing to me because I was top of my class (ESL at least) and represented my school multiple times in national competitions, and any attempt on her part to sabotage me would have been obvious. The worst thing she could do was mark one of my answers incorrect because I had used an American synonym instead of the British word (I think it was "trunk" instead of "boot"), and when I reminded her that she had marked it correct for two other students, she went back and crossed them out. My classmates knew and didn't resent me for it.

I took an option to graduate early from that class mostly out of spite, but partly because I knew I couldn't keep biting my tongue.

Better than my English second language teacher claiming that a "ship in distress" is doing fine because "distressed" is the opposite of "stressed" (and calling me into her office because I had corrected her in front of the class).

Awesome, thanks.

As a result, suspicion falls on everyone and AI image uploaders are seen as dishonest.

There's an Among Us joke there that I just can't find.

I've asked this question before because I feel it's best to clarify: does this also include URLs to content hosted on related but separate services, like the image hosting CDN at pbs.twimg.com?

If AI artists are so confident that they are equals, why are they trying so hard to hide it?

I'm pretty sure their arguments boil down to "big company bad" as systemd is developed by Red Hat. Putting a single entity's products in charge of several basic functions of the computer (like booting, init, daemons, networking) is seen as a bad idea, especially Red Hat which disgraced itself by making the RHEL source code available only to customers (which does not violate the license), but so far I don't know of any solid evidence of security holes caused by either incompetence or malice.

mouse movement stops and then “catches up” every second or so

I had that issue with a wired G502 mouse. It was caused by an excessive polling rate, and setting it to 125 Hz fixed it.

If you have a specific purpose in mind for the drive, then mounting it statically is probably the easiest solution.

My setup is:

• 2 TB NVMe
  • 200 GB partition at /
  • The rest (~1.8 TB) mounted at /games
• 1 TB SATA SSD mounted at /home
• 3 TB HDD mounted at /hdd

/mnt and /media are used differently based on the OS. /mnt is supposed to be used for temporary manual mounts, but you can use it (or a subdirectory) as a permanent mount point. /media is meant to contain mount points for dynamically mounted removable devices, but modern systems generally use /run/media/$USER for that purpose; I would personally avoid it nevertheless.

Not exactly "back", more like "trying to act like nothing ever happened". Try !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone, it was made by/for the people who no longer trust the current moderators who caused the schism.

BioWare goes on to state that it is now happy the game is in a "stable place"

Corpo speak for being comfortable with losing.

almost identical in topic order, format and words

Apparently, that specific conversation was in Mandarin, and Steve was the only member of the media present who spoke Mandarin. I'm pretty sure that appending a simple "thank you Steve from Gamers Nexus for translating" would've been sufficient, especially since Linus wants to look like they're such good buddies.

As Lord Guilliman would've wanted.

Not the glorious return of the Hyper key I expected, but I'll take it.

I started with Manjaro. Unfucking that system has taught me more than any "stable" distro could. It's all a matter of determination.

Welcome to the party.

"Ty and That Guy" - Ty Franck (one of the writers of The Expanse books) and Wes Chatham (actor of Amos Burton on the show) talk about sci-fi.

"SPINES" - supernatural fiction about an amnesiac tracking down broken people with paranormal abilities, written in an audio diary format. It gets a little gay.

"The White Vault" - supernatural fiction about a multinational team that travels to Svalbard to recover a lost expedition and encounters a monster.

Not bad, but still far from parity. Interestingly, the line break is rendered as the correct <br> tag, but is visually identical to a paragraph break.

I think that link does the same as the direct link icon with the fediverse icon on Lemmy. I can't figure out the mechanism it uses, though. The HTTP request is just empty and sh.itjust.works is displayed immediately. I expected at least a 301 redirect or a script to execute location.replace() but I can't see anything.

As for the image, the embed mechanism is probably different on Mastodon and doesn't translate at the moment. (I don't even know if they support standard Markdown let alone the Lemmy flavor)

Let me see...

Looks like that would be a mixed result. Still, I commend the team behind the interface for getting federation to work.

...maybe it's better that the Windows source code remain closed.

At the same time, I'd love to see the developers of the world glimpse at that eldritch cognitohazard and collectively go insane.
