Not in solitary confinement (unless he’s on suicide watch ofc)

Not a computer game but Tetris-like, Lonpos Cosmic Creatures had me thinking which of the irregular pieces fit allong any jagged edge for a while.

Fantastic Fist - €12.49

Fantastic Fist is a platforming game focused on simultaneous keyboard and mouse controls. While the character can be moved around with the keyboard, the mouse can be used to interact with the environment by punching with a giant fist.

A puzzle platformer with tight controls and true pixel art, much like Celeste. Makes very good use of the controls available on a PC. Low system requirements (100 MB storage). Solo dev spent years perfecting the gameplay.

I don’t play platformers but I’d like to support the dev. I will gift it to you on Steam if you’re the first to ask for it. As for games I have played, I enjoy little itch.io VNs by npckc, I just wish my devices were fast enough to run Ren’Py decently…

Hmm… is TikTok censoring genders now?

I didn’t, it’s too old for that

One of them is not like the other

Obviously not the first but might win a “most basic browser currently maintained” competition if it qualifies (not if HTML rendering is a criterion).

I have never used iOS but I’d guess that makes browsing on it a little less convenient than on a terminal with curl.

The US only has 911 for emergencies AFAIK, who else would you call? Of course, police is basically useless here as opposed to an ambulance, particularly in the US when they know little more than brute force, but IDK how much say you have in what service they dispatch.

We have separate numbers for each service other than the central Europe-wide 112, and they are free unless misuse happens. A boarding school roommate had a mental health breakdown so severe an ambulance was called, with actual trauma-trained doctors who provided basic psychiatric treatment (sedation pills and further care advice to dormkeepers). So an ambulance is helpful for mental health crises but I cannot imagine cops helping in any way in this case - they have restraint tools that might thwart violence or suicide attempts but this situation did not need them, and a doctor on the phone (which you get immediately) can help with everything else better than the police anyway.

You’ve never used function keys? The dual function is annoying even inside the OS. I have to help several people with laptops and you can’t tell what mode they’re in, the user often doesn’t know either.

On laptops, you never know if the F-key behavior is defined by the OS, BIOS or keyboard driver. I just mash F2, F8, Fn+F2, Fn+F8, Del as often as I can (these are the most common keys to do the trick). You can reduce the options with a USB keyboard with just normal F-keys.

Some laptops don’t have a key you can hold to enter BIOS settings or boot menu (maybe to start booting before the keyboard is initialized?) and there is a reset button hole for that.

They will be putting it back up soon, after they make sure there is no Gaza in its view.

Plot twist: he already has one but stays quiet about it, because the result is apparently bad

The recommendations seemed favorable when I tried it. I have since switched to Mint.

Pixar lamp. Enough said.

Disney pays costumed actors, who need to follow draconian rules for long periods in the Florida sun to keep the Disney product working, little more than janitors. They apparently justify that by “you won the audition, fulfilling your inner child’s dream is enough for a prize”. Sadly, they are the only company offering “Official That Notorious Princess™ Actor” jobs and their IP and marketing giving an aura of prestige to the position causes the demand to stay high, so they can argue that it is the fair market price.

I hope the conditions improve now that every Mickey, Goofy and Donald can threaten to take their mask off and hold a “STOP TREATING US LIKE ANIMALS” sign while walking out of the park.

Even basic things in distros are quite different, for example the frontend for settings, so tech support threads will show how to do it in the backend. Oh well, but then there’s someone who suggests

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

If you’re a noob, run this and get a “nano: command not found” error, you’ll google it and learn to resolve it using apt. However, Manjaro’s package manager is pacman but you don’t know, so you install apt using a weird guide without knowing what it even is. The next update then wreaks havoc on your system.

My first install ended in a dependency hell because of this.

Unsolicited Conservative: “Has she tried to put God on that wound? If only she was religious…”

Dude, doctors will even try homeopathy before resorting to euthanasia.

Oh, I assumed it was another “witty” word association by a journalist.

The title feels weird. Is this really a way to use “dial up”?

There is another country that would not exist if high Chile consumption was a real thing.

This is real title gore, the sentence structure barely makes sense too. Unwinding the journalistic word order and even correcting for the missing word “report” and the chilli misspelling, it basically says

Autopsy was conducted on a teen who had a tortilla, and it[s report] says: “He died of high chil[li] consumption and had a heart defect.”

The logic is technically correct but the following bizzare statements are suggested (not implied):

• If you are a teen and eat a tortilla, a doctor may decide you need an autopsy. Prevention first, amirite?
• The cause of death of the teen in question was high chilli consumption, which caused a heart defect, and subsequently the autopsy, either of which alone would be enough to kill him.
