Isn’t that a screengrab from one of the muppets films? You can even see Kermit in the center

You mean building lots of data centers full of hot servers that need heavy cooling in Phoenix Arizona, where temperatures regularly exceed 120F might not be such a good idea?

Link for anyone like me who’s one of today’s lucky 10,000

I give that a 50/50 chance that the sign is a prank vs the sign is actually necessary

It’s a direct reference to At The Mountains of Madness. The penguins make exactly that call in the book and are friendly with the Ancient Ones, and really only present in the story while the humans are in the domain of the Ancient Ones.

Although the choice of showing Cthulhu in the final panel rather than one of the Ancient Ones is inaccurate. Perhaps it’s meant to be a sculpture, since in Call of Cthulhu it was made clear that Cthulhu was specifically the shaman of the ancient ones, meant to wake them when the time is right

Anyways I’d highly recommend reading the stories since they’re quite a unique style and dripping with a mounting, growing intensity. You can even listen on LibriVox. Call of Cthulhu is about an hour long and At The Mountains of Madness is about 4.5 hours long, so one decent car trip’s worth of audiobook basically

Sounds like you’re vaguely describing a ground effect vehicle, basically a plane which coasts along the water. They’re more efficient than actually flying due to exploiting the ground effect on the lift surfaces, but ultimately it’s closer to a plane than a boat

I’ve just been using the site in my browser for the couple of years or so I’ve been on Lemmy. I’ve thought about trying one of the apps but meh. The web interface is so well mobile-optimized as it is

Also the Jackdaws

All he has to do is apply sufficient political pressure upon the governor to make the pardon happen. It’s more work for a state level concern but ultimately it’s plausible if the current Republican administration is sufficiently motivated

Wait when did I stumble into a Rimworld sub?

Of course, you can never go wrong with the old faithful “one lung, one kidney, amputate both arms and legs and replace with pegs then release back to their people”

The most accurate takeaway is that the shareholders wish for Disney to continue participating in Diversity Equity and Inclusion measures.

The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend.

My local classic rock station classifies “classic rock” as released >25 years ago. They play Green Day fairly regularly now

I’m a cishet dude and all but one of my friends are some combination of gay, bi, or trans

I believe getting fucked is in fact the intention

Yeah there’s a reason I didn’t even call that one out and just called it a bait. It’s in flathub, frequently featured in flathub, and in the same article they spoke with a nonprofit that stated they preload older computers with Linux Mint now, which has a graphical software center that covers both Flathub and the Ubuntu repos

I think it might be Barron. The media has been starting to glaze him and give him some air time and float his name. Don Jr has been doing tons of really cringe campaigning for El Presidente, but given he hasn’t really been talked about in the media, I don’t think they’re floating him next

The sad thing is Roku’s UI was pretty dang good before they added a row of ads at the top, a half screen ad on the left and replaced the background with an ad every 2 weeks, waiting a full minute for it to load the latest nonsense the highest bidder paid them to shove in my face. The ads absolutely ruin a good platform.

That’s literally what the representative from the charity said they did in the linked article

Hey if you’re in the states, I ended up with a pallet of PCs from an auction I didn’t expect to win and my wife would be happy to see one more disappear, so if you want to cover shipping I’d be happy to send it off to ya. They’re just HP Elitedesk SFFs with 4th gen i5s, but there’s a bunch of half-height PCIe slots and 3.5" bays and even a DVD drive so plenty of expandability to get yourself into trouble with

My last go-around with Linux gaming was pre-steam deck. I think it ended around 2018ish? So it’s been long enough I should probably give Linux a real try again sometime
