  • Man, I haven't listened to Ratatat in yeaaars. Thanks for the memory!

  • Rufus, the bootable usb creator?

    You should be able to natively do what Rufus does in Linux, if you have a disk imaging software installed. I think Ubuntu comes with gnome-disks, you right click an ISO file, click open with, select disk image writer, and select the destination device (your USB drive) and it writes the ISO file to the USB device. You should double check it actually makes it bootable, but I think it does.

    You can also use Ventoy to do what you want. You install it to the USB drive and then just drop the ISO files into a folder that you want to boot from, and it creates a menu for you to choose which ISO file to choose at boot time.

  • If you're a SciFi fan, read the expanse series. It'll reinvigorate your love of reading again. At least, it did for me.

  • Alpine is an interesting choice for hosting, really curious what situation you're hosting in that would require that level or lightness for a distro?

  • The wording should be "some of us get 2 weeks a year of vacation, while these fucks get 2 weeks a year of work."

  • "What then?"

    "Same as it ever was!"

    We all fight over resources that actually matter (like food, water, shelter and security) instead the previous things (money), for the enjoyment of our overlords.

    Seriously, the people who have power to change the outcome of the future seem to either straight not be planning for this future scenario, or are planning for a horribly distopian version of this future scenario.

  • Its even worse, selling your body for someone else's profit. I was just recently in a weird knickknack store that had taxidermy peacocks, butterflies, gems, minerals, etc.. But one of the 'etc' was a human skeleton that the person donated their body to science in early 1900's only to end up being for sale for the low price of $9,000 after the medical organization they donated their body to was either done with it, or the organization dissolved, or who knows what...

    Pretty shitty that its legal to sell people's fucking remains for a profit...

  • Won't that just make the libraries attempt to buy more content to replace the unusable content? I say attempt because they might not have enough funding to actually replace anything anymore, but who knows.

  • If we do live in a simulation, can I be taken out by a corrupt memory allocation, please?

  • As a society we should start taking the right wing messaging further to hurt the people initially spreading the messaging.

    In this example, looking at that picture:

    "People should boycott the business because they don't provide parking! Those assholes don't need my business!"

  • Man, look at those good jeans....

  • Sooo.. Maco? Or are we reserving that only for the big guy?

  • It didn't get enough attention or make enough money, so Canonical dropped it. Its still on life support and slowly having some features added by the the open source community under the name ubports, but its slow going (they just updated the entire codebase from Ubuntu 16.04->18.04 and most recently 20.04) and not the best approach in my opinion, as i think every app has to be specifically developed for ubports, unlike postmarketOS where you can install anything in the repo. It also uses halium which is a translation layer for the android kernel that allows rhe Linux side to interact with hardware, since a lot of the drivers to make these phones work, aren't mainlined.

    Also like any project like this, device support is severely lacking (especially in the US).

    Though admittedly, I didn't realize you could get fairphone in the US now, and that it might work on us bands. So ubports on fairphone 5 might be good, dunno.

  • Design a Linux phone. So sick of google and android. Currently looking at Fairphone 6 in the US as postmarketOS just got initial support, still need cellular, WiFi, camera to be functional, but considering it just came out a few months ago, pretty impressive.

  • My favorite story about best buy is in the early 2000's, a family member gifted me a $20 gift card to best buy, which unbeknownst to them, I had stopped shopping at because it got too expensive and I started buying from newegg instead. Anyway, I walk in and am thinking 'well I don't really need anything big right now, like a full PC, laptop, etc. Maybe I'll just get a DVD or something."

    Even with a $20 gift card, Best buy prices were so marked up, they were either still more expensive, or the same price as other stores. I think other stores were selling DVD's at like $15 (not new-releases) and best buy was $35. I walked out and never ended up buying anything. I'm shocked they're still around to be honest.

  • Part of me says there's no way the world agrees to participate in the Olympics in LA in 2028 based on how fascist we're becoming, but then, Hitler had the Olympics in Nazi Germany and the world stage still came. So... Guess history repeats itself eh? Eh? Eh? God we're so fucked.

    Upon reading the Wikipedia page, only Ireland and Spain chose to sit that one out. But more nations showed up to Nazi Germany than the previous 1932 Olympics, 49 up from 37 nations. Fun!
