I did computer work in an old hospital and there was a secret bathroom in the basement near the server room but it was terrifying because it was used to store CPR dummies so if you wanted to poop in there you’d have a dozen open mouthed elderly torsos staring at you.

Soak in some gorgeous views and learn about your local waterways. Reconnect with the land around you.

Good advice while those things last I guess.

A republican majority lead by an authoritarian effectively ends any possibility that climate change can be slowed or reversed within any of our lifetimes. Don’t think of it as the hottest summer on record… think of it as the coolest summer of the rest of your life.

He’ll executive action everything and bypass the legislature entirely. Who will stop him? The courts?

Perfect beautiful lies folks. Everyone knows it.

People tend to think of digital things as unchanging and permanent but that isn’t really the case. I’m fascinated by the concept of bit rot and other ways that digital things can disappear or degrade over time.

It’s good that flash is not still an essential part of the modern Internet but its death did firmly cut off an entire era of Internet culture that cannot be experienced in quite the same way.

I have yet to have any success with Bottles but I assume it’s because I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m trying with software known to be difficult.

I remote into a Windows PC for Fusion 360 and Affinity suite but if I could get those working on Linux I’d be in really good shape.

Lemmy is definitely the most pain in the ass service that I self host. Most annoyingly when something goes wrong I can’t just go on Lemmy until I feel like fixing it.

I asked my employer provided AI assistant if this is true and it assured me that natural snowfall was disinformation invented by leftists in order to destroy our capitalist utopia.

This message brought to you by Jill Stein who pops up every four years to grift money and accomplish nothing except cozying up to Putin. I guess there is still the brain worm dead animal guy?

Third parties in the US are unserious. I wish that weren’t the case but that’s the reality.

I’ve not tried GPT4ALL but Ollama combined with Open WebUI is really great for selfhosted LLMs and can run with podman. I’m running Bazzite too and this is what I do.

I see there is an m.2 slot too with what looks to be a Kingston SSD.

I’m still confused what era this laptop is from. It might be a SATA m.2.

I got a pizza steel and it’s been a game changer. Now I make full sized pizzas at home and they are delicious.

Wayland was subject to “first mover disadvantage” for a long time. Why be the first to switch and have to solve all the problems? Instead be last and everyone else will do the hard work for you.

But without big players moving to it those issues never get fixed. And users rightly should not be forced to migrate to a broken system that isn’t ready. People just want a system that works right?

Eventually someone had to decide it was ‘good enough’ and try an industry wide push to move away from a hybrid approach that wastes developer time and confuses users.

Right in the middle of Berlin.

Can someone please validate my decision to pay $23 a year for this dumb corndog.social domain just so I had something fun for my Lemmy instance.

Nihilism is for suckers. I’m going to make the world a better place and have some fun along the way too.

I’ve had exactly this happen to me. It was my own fault but it took a bit of work figure out.

Look upon what thou has twat and ponder it.

Unironically Powershell is great and learning it has propelled me through the last 12 years of my career as a Sysadmin. My biggest complaints with it are generally Windows complaints or due to legacy powershell modules.
