It's amazing so many people are able to use English as a second language.
  • Surely the only languages that are not weird are those specifically designed to be widely spoken?

    And no-one wants to speak those!

  • What is your purpose?
  • It keeps the butter hard and useless?

  • Never forget...
  • "Who goes there", John Campbell, 1938.

    (And I seem to recall more movies that are rehashes of that novella.)

  • I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH UBUNTU 24.04 😡
  • Yeah, and it really shouldn't be that surprising.

    Somebody assembled a distribution for you?

    Well, turns out they had reasons for doing that, and if you don't like were those reasons are taking their distribution?

    Find someone whose motives and incentives align better with yours, and use their distribution.

  • Oh no, Anarchists!
  • So, yeah, looking at those examples I'd say we should try to prevent our opponets from going fascist.

    If there's anything fascists are good at it's murdering lots and lots of people, so Id say we should stop them from gaining a following or try to remove their following if they already got one.

    Easier said then done, but, to steal your words, doesn't mean it's impossible.

  • Oh no, Anarchists!
  • Yeah , but ...

    In Paris we fought and were massacred.
    In Korea/Manchuria we fought and were massacred.
    In Ukraine we fought and were massacred.
    And as you say in Spain we fought, but then we were massacred.

    There's more of course, but you get the idea.

    Something probably should be done differently in the future.

  • How do you say SUSE?
  • It's German, and you're about as right as anyone trying to say a German word in English can expect to get.

  • Cannot run Wayland on nVidia at all
  • Some of the flickering can be gotten rid of by disabling hardware-acceleration for qtwebengine.

    I've got
    `export QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_GPU_THREAD=1

    export QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-gpu-compositing --num-raster-threads=1 --enable-viewport --main-frame-resizes-are-orientation-changes --disable-composited-antialiasing"`
    in .bashrc.

    Note that there is still enough flickering left to annoy, and some (appimage?) apps dont seem to register the setting.

  • [Map] 99 in different languages
  • Niti og ni, 9*10+9 was used in Danish on cheques.
    I doubt those exist anymore, though.

  • [Map] 99 in different languages
  • Yeah, and it's wrong.
    Nioghalvfems is 9 + 1/2 * 5 * 20!
    NOT that silly 9+(4+1/2)*20.

    What do they take us for? Calculators?

  • Can America Survive a Party of Saboteurs?
  • I think what's happening in the US today rhymes hard on the fall of the Roman Republic.

    And I'm sorry, but I don't think the people won back then.

  • Super simple
  • Somebody missed out on doing some simple, bog standard population dynamics.

    You have r(t) rabbits, where r= ...

  • Removed
    Ukrainian Drones Strike Russia's Largest Oil Refinery
  • Hopefully they are enough to disperse Russian anti-aircraft defences.

  • The Raw Power
  • Comet the cat fell asleep!

  • Locked
    Lemmy is a bigger echo chamber than reddit
  • Will you kids get your bloody GUIs off my lawn!

  • What’s Usenet and how can I access it with modern hardware (phones/laptops)?
  • Heh. I used to run leafnode as my own, in house, single person server.

    I'm quite surprised to find out it's still alive and maintained.

  • Rep. Jim Clyburn helped Biden win young Black voters in 2020. This time, they're not listening.
  • You make larger districts that elect more than one representative each.

    Or at least that was how it was done here in Denmark.

  • I'm really getting over the enshitification of the internet.
  • Yeah.

    And we can still block entire sites on the web.

    The sites the friends with adblockers promote.
    The friends who don't notice what they promote.
    What unholy bastards the people who own the sites they promote are.

  • So There's This System where you can specify which language you're writing in, and I always write in English.

    So There's This System where you can specify which language you're writing in, and I always write in English.

    So why, oh God why, does it keep insisting on changing it to Danish?

    I mean, Kbin please, could you ask me?

    Or just bloody remember what I always set it to (when I accidentially remember to set it)?
