First one that came to my mind too

Yeah our HOA covers the maintenance of everyones lawn so that basically removes 99% of any complaints.

Seriously, short of a nuke, how much can he actually escalate? He’s basically thrown what he can at them without risking any other front. This is an empty threat.

This was most likely posted by a kid who just thinks Unix is “old” Linux and doesn’t understand the roots of what it actually means in terms of computing.

Guys out here sending BMPs…

I remember the massive almanac this came with. And the copy-prevention would let you get a few moves in and then ask you “please enter the first word on page 236 to continue”

And this is why I’m currently ripping all my discs of any sort to ISOs. Sadly I’ve already run into 4 unreadable ones.

I’ve come to the conclusion, people who use vim just continue to do so out of a stubborn sense of pride for finally learning the key combinations.

Cool cool, so who will be paying for the time to archive it, the medium the archive it to, and the accessibility should someone else want to access it? I mean I can put a copy on a floppy disk and keep it in my desk and say it’s archived.

So is there a way to see those? A good example is lemming.online, which you can’t sign up for. The only alternative I’ve found is browse by new and just wait to see what communities pop up.

folks that have been doing this exclusively for 30 years

And yet the number of people I hear “just switch to Linux!” When the other person has been using Windows for 30 years blows my mind.

Inertia is a hell of a drug.

How many tiles do you get? I thought it was 8

It just sold for $35,000… so I’d definitely say it was a unique piece someone wanted.

And before anyone has anything smart ass to say, make it any 30% of the country you like…

I am seriously asking, was this what the reaction was like in Nazi Germany too? We are literally watching a systematic genocide and torture of an entire group of people and most of the world is doing nothing.

I thought I heard somewhere that there was a similar parallel back then where as long as it occurred in their country that most everyone else ignored it. It was only when they attempted to expand that there was a larger war?

They could always do unidirectional federation and only take feeds from others but not send their updates out and make it walled off for a subscription.

And then they’ll “accidentally” carpet bomb the whole area and say Hamas was hiding there.

Ah yes. The “stick your head in the sand” defense. Works so well against facts: global warming, covid, getting your ass kicked.

My thought was the reverse. Figured it was in mainline and the betas haven’t fixed it. If it gets fixed, it’d probably be in the beta first.

Confirmed it exists even in 18.1 Beta 2. Reloads faster than I can even time it though.
