So about 25,000 peoples minimum drinking water per day per bouy. Not too bad there.
Or the overall average water usage of ~13.2 people (went with the first number cause I ain’t researching things rn)
So my Linux loving friend had their Debian installation nuke itself the other day. They went to boot it up and it just vanished. Completely gone. For zero discernable reason. It worked the night before without issue, it worked for months before that without issue, only to boot up and have everything missing.
All this is to say that using non Microsoft operating systems doesn’t magically make everything better. Everything in computing has issues and there’s no such thing as the perfect system.
Plus, even if Windows was perfect and fully FOSS, you and I both know you and all the other unix people would still hate it. It’s been the same circle jerk since the day unix existed.
Yeah, cause the rank and file have to work overtime to fix that shit when it breaks
The US isn’t on the hook for it’s own war crimes, terrorism, or assassinations, so that wouldn’t matter
What is an Anzus?
This is a Beehaw post, not Hexbear. Heaxbear is filled with sorry ass tankies
What service was this?
Agreed. I don’t have 90s Internet memories like a lot of here, but I do have some early 2000a Internet memories, which I honestly think was better than the 90s Internet cause we’d worked out a lot of the kinks.
Forums were a great place to chat with people about whatever and in 99% of cases, people were polite enough. People talked about this and that. I and others shared their discoveries in video games on sites like GameFAQs (rest in peace, I put up so many Mario Kart DD tips).
People treated interactive sites like they were neighborhoods. Sure, a ton of drama would pop up, same as any neighborhood, and sometimes that drama made modernTwitter drama seem tame, but it stayed within the community the majority of the time and it either got resolved or ended up killing the site. Either way people got over it and moved on.
Nowadays, just keeping up with memes and drama is a full time job. Just 5 years ago I could stay on top of things, now it feels like what’s funny changes the second I see it, and I’m not even old (I was just on the Internet at way too young). Hell, rage comics and impact memes were a think for over a decade.
Lemmy has so far felt like a nice middle ground between the old days of things lasting more than five minutes and people not just immediately being dicks (as long as you block everything LG and Hexbear) plus modern comforts in technology.
Oh THATS why it’s called Gentoo!
I knew it was a penguin and I knew about the distro, but I never put the two together
Exactly. And while we shouldn’t swoop to their level at all, we need some kind of marketing to counteract all their bullshit
Us leftists need to step tf up and hire some marketing people or something. People seem to be getting fed up with spineless liberals promising a lot and delivering nothing of substance. Conservatives keep promising them easy solutions, while leftists require you to read 10,000 pages of theory to understand the basics.
While you can’t bundle leftist ideology into the political equivalent of a get rich quick scheme like conservatives, there has to be a better way to market our concepts
Stinging insects or idiotic end users?
Honestly tough choice
Swedes are from Sweden.
Swiss are from Switzerland
And the Swiss are the ones that claimed neutrality while happily helping the Nazis
I definitely read the headline and thought “please don’t be my state again”
Is Casper the low end or is it Irish?
It could go either way
I meant this more for the Lemmy equivalent of /all
I think it’s medical and insulting use are obsolete lmao
