TIL there are italic emojis. 🏠

Maybe, but how long do you have to count for your eyelids to touch?

I did a quick search and was shocked to find zero hits to

“Superman”.

Now let’s find a flushable burger box.

I was thinking, and that’s the reason I could take a photo of it: I hesitated to flush it. It still felt rather hard to the touch, but again, I haven’t even tried leaving it in a bowl of water or something.

Their home security IT system is a mosquito net made of paper with a post-it note saying ‘no hack pl0x’.

They had been caught letting the Russians take a quick comfy look around and promptly doing fuck all about it. I guess the Russians assume that it’s the same reason half of the EU/NATO would also know if Putty decided to take a walk in that country.

Not normally, but then I ran into one of these

It says you can flush me.

While this might not be good news on its own, I love to watch how Orbán is getting into an increasingly deep puddle, first trying to comply with Putin, then walking into China’s debt trap, then making friends with Trump (who is dancing to Putin’s tune) who is, however, definitely not friends with China.

I wonder which string will snap first.

And this is where unregulated capitalism and the constant craze for GROWTH GROWTH GROWTH comes into the picture. With a failing demographic AND an aging society, economic collapse is inevitable. I mean, it could be just a long, smooth slope in theory, but not with this dystopian economic system where you have already spent the money you’re getting back in 10 years’ time, with the greedy shareholders dictating everything.

I mean, these demographic changes will happen regardless, but the effects of currently having such a flawed and short sighted system will be painfully drastic.

My brother has just mentioned recently that Argos is pretty decent for a lot of stuff. Probably you won’t be able to order literally everything available on Amazon, but it’s worth checking first.

[Breaking News] Yellowstone Mega-volcano unexpectedly dies of cardiac arrest.

I was gifted Robert Merle’s The Day of the Dolphin once. They told me it was a great book. I’m still sure it is, but I couldn’t get past the 2nd page. The lack of punctuation made it awfully cumbersome to read.

I’m absolutely immune to art, totally insensitive to meanings, references, nuances or just plain beauty, and the instant I looked at this I was thinking “I don’t have absolutely any idea why whatsoever, but for some reason I absolutely love this”.

I thought they were aware of muting/reporting not working. Or is that just me?

I was born in the previous millenium.

I remember having played it on Ubuntu around S3-S4. It didn’t look the exact same, but it was definitely playable (could have been just different graphics settings). A few weeks ago I found a comment saying it’s not playable and/or buggy as hell now. I wonder what broke it.

Egyetértek, de én 8 (nyolc, kettő a harmadikon) éve voltam úgy vele, hogy valahol “most” lehetünk túl azon a ponton, hiszen ez már teljesen röhejes.

As long as it’s single player or you’re lucky to not want to play League, PUBG, CS2 or Valorant (or RS6 or… basically any of the biggest ones), you should be fine, and there are plenty of games working under Linux. If you do… Well, not now or in the past 20 years.

Back when I last used it (we’re speaking ~8 years ago), I was actually happy using it instead of MSO. …until I opened a Word document and all the tabulations and spacing went to shit. I don’t know whether it got fixed yet, but as soon as they always look identical to the pixel, opened in either editor, I will finally ditch Word.

I guess the same goes for Excel/Calc. Once all the functions are called and work the same, all the formatting looks the same in both, I’ll stick with Calc.

(It might come across as I’m being MS elitist, but it’s quite the opposite - I would love to switch, but if the admin requires docx, I have these two to choose from. I understand it’s not Libre’s fault, but I can’t do much, either)

There are applications that still don’t have a proper Linux port, or any at all. Or maybe the ones that exist are cumbersome to use. I really hate that people downvote you for pointing this out. If you were wrong, Linux would have a much larger share already.

I understand that some people have alternatives for everything they use; I’m happy for them, and I wish to be them. But assuming that if I can do everything I want on Linux in the same quality/convenience/whatever, then others must, as well…
