Wait where’s china, russia, turkey, iran, dprk, or any of those countries on this list? They were all before 2000, right? Right?

Maybe she meant cream filled?

Mmm new Totinos® Pizza Rolls™ Cayenne Powder flavor! Oh boy!

Reddit people: What is this “Vee Pee En” you speak of?

Programming.dev might be worth a look for FOSS. Also db0 has been very good to me since I left .ml when db0 started up.

Ah damn, well sorry I couldn’t be more help!

Yeah unfortunately it is one of the flagship instances and also is run by a transphobe and a guy who thinks Stalin did nothing wrong who will ban you for any opinion slightly deviating from the hivemind he’s created. Really sucks, because a lot of people don’t know this until they already made their acct and by the time they learn about it the sunk cost fallacy takes over because they “don’t want to lose their comments” by moving to a more neutral instance.

It’s by design of course, either the new conscripts relent and join their ranks or just go along to get along, or they don’t and they get banned while reinforcing .ml’s victim complex they so desperately cling to.

My brother laser printer/scanner needed brscan in addition to (iirc) brlaser. Didn’t see you mention it, so it may be worth a look if you missed it on the brother linux drivers page for your printer.

Also RIP Neofetch, maintainer became a farmer. Fastfetch iirc is the new one.

Just a heads up,

Most of my tools won’t run, (you can likely find alternatives for most, barring adobe)

most of my self made tools won’t run, (well you can fix that, now can’t ya? You made em once you can make em again)

most of my games won’t run, (Destiny player? Seems most single players run these days, but yeah the kernel level anticheat “required” by many online games renders them unplayable, because even if they do run like destiny you just get acct banned for playing on linux. This is the fault of the companies though, not on linux or its community for hating the kernel level spyware, of course.)

most 4 decades of internalization of shortcuts won’t cut it short anymore. (Actually you may be surprised, many windows shortcuts still work on KDE, and you can configure them however you want if there’s something missing. Plus you’d learn any “new” ones quicker than you may think.)

But yeah that said it isn’t for everybody. Just gotta weigh the cost/benefit, is it worth it to you to learn a little about a new UI to escape microsoft’s actively hostile anti-consumer practices, or would you rather just grin and bear it for “ease” (though it could be argued that “learning the new thing and being done with it” is actually easier than dealing with windows, just that learning the new thing frontloads the “hard” while dealing with microsoft is a constant annoyance. But I digress.)

Tbh I bought my last tv when 1080p lcd was the hot new thing and it was NOT cheap. If buying a dumb tv/“display” is just the same thing I’m used to? Fine.

That lcd is still kicking though so I won’t find out until it’s dead.

She could read!

Or it was the one that smelled like pet supplies and she smart.

I’ve always theorized that it should be possible to have multiple wake words with different functions, some invisible to the user.

It has to be “always listening” for the wake word to function at all, so it clearly is doing that, what’s to stop them from having another wake word like “bomb” which it then starts recording and sends to the NSA for instance, or even “clip the last 30 seconds” like an xbox could be feasible. Or even have corporations pay to get on the “list” of secret trigger words, like Toyota pays and it hears “Toyota” or “new car” and starts serving ads for 2026 Celicas (I wish lol). It doesn’t even have to send much data back for that, just “ohp, said word, check box to join ‘toyota’ ad group.”

I’m not saying they do that, but like, it sounds totally easily possible and I can’t be the first person that had this idea, why wouldn’t they?

Hell to be fair I don’t trust most of the brands I do recognize either lol.

Nah, FGC2.0 RIP Jstark.

Nominative determinism at work.

Sorry, but unfortunately I got interested and followed your link:

There is a popular legend that “hooker” as a slang term for a prostitute is derived from his last name[26] because of parties and a lack of military discipline at his headquarters near the Murder Bay district of Washington, DC. Some versions of the legend claim that the band of prostitutes that followed his division was derisively referred to as “General Hooker’s Army” or “Hooker’s Brigade”.[27] However, the term “hooker” was used in print as early as 1845, years before Hooker was a public figure,[28] and is likely derived from the concentration of prostitutes around the shipyards and ferry terminal of the Corlear’s Hook area of Manhattan in the early to middle 19th century, who came to be referred to as “hookers”.

Tbf CDs are of the worst of the physical media, yet one of the best due to the ease with which one can back them up I guess.

Most of my CDs, DVDs, and tapes were entirely unavailable with any (conventional, anyway, or I’d have known) means of piracy (real obscure shit), or were purchased before limewire and ipods existed (of course I’m old). But vinyl has a certain charm to it, there’s absolutely no replacing physical books or comics, cart consoles are better than emulators if you have both, and sometimes just popping in a tape and being off to the races is better than hunting through netflix, yes we’re watching Rodan again.

That said, I still back everything up when possible, physical is just part of the redundancy. I have The Princess Bride in book, VHS, DVD, and .mkv format.

Praise “Bob!”

This place can’t be real lmao.

In this context, OP wants a community that is both vegan and sufficiently accepting of non-vegans, which might be tough to find.

Because being a preachy holier than thou dickhead is like, “the point” for a lot of vegans. Oh they’ll tell you it’s not that, while they tell you how much better they are than you because they reject anyone with a different opinion than they have, while you’re a rapist and a murderer because you let others be and make their own choices without evangelizing like a christian.

I’m fine with normal vegans, like the OP. In fact, most vegans I meet IRL are like OP, I even have a vegan friend who doesn’t give me shit about it and we take her veganism into concern when we eat and will go to a place that has good vegan and meat options (or she’ll cook her own vegan dish to share if potluck), fun times all around. But the Culinary Jehovah’s Witnesses are just as annoying as the actual Jehovah’s Witnesses. “Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Daiya?” But the vegans don’t even have the balls to go door to door, they only recruit for their cult online, so honestly I respect it even less as much as I’d hate both.
