Why Bill Watterson Vanished

Jump

  • Saved you a click: Not really that mysterious or surprising. He was burnt out

    • @linux I just switched from windows 10 to Ubuntu Studio last Saturday, just wrapped up the transition yesterday. I love Linux. It is how a computer should be. I lost access

    Jump

  • Timeshift is your friend. I always make a snapshot when I start mucking about with kernel configs or modules

    • What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

    Jump

  • I rent a car very often through work, and I always get those extra insurances, because:

    1. My company pays for it
    2. More than once the car rental companies have found some nano-scale damage to the car that I couldn't have caused (must've been there when I picked it up), and they try to pin it on me, something my job wouldn't cover. And unsurprisingly, those claims only happen when I don't have that extra insurances.

    • Russia’s lander experiences ‘emergency situation’ while approaching lunar surface

    Jump

  • On one side I'm saddened by the scientific loss. But I'm also a bit relieved that the vatniks don't get to use it for propaganda purposes.

    • DJ's of Lemmy, where/how are you getting music for your arsenal?

    Jump

  • I knew a DJ 20 years ago. He got most of his stuff by visiting thrift stores and markets where he would buy anything and everything on vinyl for a cheap price.

    • What are the first non-kids songs you were listening to turning on by yourself?

    Jump

    • 'Vranyo' and 'Ochkovtiratelstvo'

    • Project Veritas Deletes Tweet Claiming Boss ‘Just Fired Us All’

    Jump

  • Similar to countries with "Democratic" in the name.

    • Is that “Balkenkreuz” beam cross, which was used by Nazis, intentional or not?

    Jump

  • It even comes with its own hole if you want to use a connecting pipe

    • Would you agree?

    Jump

  • If windows didn't exist, linux would dominate with the problems you describe, and we'd still see this meme, but advocating for FreeBSD instead.

    That being said, I like them both. It's been a while since I last used bsd, so I think it's about time I give it another spin.

    • How easy is to get a prepaid SIM-card in the US for travel?

    Jump

    • Can we block entire instances?

    Jump

    • Am I allowed to use a VPN with Steam?

    Jump

  • In general there's nothing wrong with using a VPN. And in particular, steam doesn't care that my home network funneled all traffic via work for a while.

    • Marjorie Taylor Greene may not run for reelection

    Jump

  • Por que no los dos?

    ...or something like that. My spanish sucks.

    • No route to host until I ping and then it works fine?

    Jump

  • Is there an IPSec tunel in the mix? Often, IPSec Phase2 goes down when idle, while Phase1 stays up. Upon traffic, Phase2 is brought up again, with a delay.

    I usually work around this with a crontab on one of the remote servers that sends a single ping packet every minute to a local server, and pipe any output to /dev/null.

    • Happy Debian Day - going 30 years strong

    Jump

  • It makes me sad that Deb and Ian divorced in 2008.

    • "What are your top 12 programming books?"

    Jump

  • Top right one is also published as "Learning Perl".

    On a serious note, I'm primarily a perl guy, and Learning Perl is one of my favorite books.

    • Gay men, what would you like to explain about the "gay best friend" stereotype to staight people?

    Jump

  • If it's OK for the gay best friend to be misogynistic, it's OK for the woman to be homophobic. Makes just as much sense.

    • Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it?

    Jump

  • YES!

    I've been a PC gamer for 25 years, and RDR2 is by far thebmost annoying control setup. Everything feels laggy due to the emphasis on fluid and realistic animations.

    Plus it suffers feom the same issue as GTA5: "Press Key to progress story". They both seem more like open world tech demos to me.

    Good graphics, though. But graphics don't matter if the gameplay is good.
