  • Back in the early 2010s I was sitting on a long train ride, and opened my hacker-sticker-covered netbook and started doing some terminal stuff in a console window; nothing particularly remarkable or exciting-looking, just navigating directories and moving some files around. An older lady sitting next to me glanced over, her eyes got wide, and she got up and moved to a seat further away from me.

    I still think about that moment a lot.

    Can I find communication in places other than discord?

    Jump

  • There's still IRC. Discord has always just been IRC with additional media embeds and an outer layer of shiny Nerf controls for babies.

  • wow, I just found out that Donald Trump has been awarded inaugural FIFA Peace Prize

    Jump

  • It only got a short mention by Colin Jost at the top of Weekend Update:

    Trump has not yet won the Nobel Peace Prize, but he did win the equally prestigious Soccer Peace Prize.

    FIFA actually invented a fake peace prize in Trump’s honor, and that’s why the trophy shows Trump’s gnarled hands dragging Earth into Hell.

  • Neither Wine or Proton require running Windows. They're compatibility layers which allow Linux to operate software intended for Windows.

    You may be thinking about when someone emulates a full virtual Windows machine within Linux, which is more resource-intensive. The overhead and performance impact of a compatibility layer like Wine or Proton is generally negligible compared to running such a VM.

  • To be fair, it wouldn't be the first time a Trek premiere's promotional image looked like a poorly-done bag of ass evoking the general garbage stylings of the era.
