Facebones,

Thirded. I used it when I was learning to code and its super easy to search and reference back to older stuff.

Facebones,

Is it actually? I always assumed orbits were all over the place and our 2d renders are similar to why paper maps are all fucky - just the easiest way to deal with 3d in 2d space.

Facebones,

Neat!

Facebones,

I actually never watched ds9, but LOVED voyager. I hated Enterprise and could never get into it. I think all this new Trek happening is killer though!

Facebones,

Legit question - is there any actual grounds for the “terrorist” label other than striking at a long term oppressive occupying force? Cause ive not seen anyone show any receipts past calling Oct 7 “terrorism” or their overall governance as “extreme” (which, again, makes sense to me after 50 some years of oppression and occupation.)

Facebones,

So Israel are heroes for their actions but Hamas are terrorists 🤔 OK boomer

Facebones,

This is my main issue - in a vacuum sure it’d be terrorism but in this instance I don’t see how one side is terrorist but one side is heroic other than “brown bad, white gud.” I’m trying to be open minded but Zionists don’t really have an argument past “fuck you sympathizer”

Facebones,

You can 100% tell someone’s paper RPG experience level by their favorite elder scrolls game lmao

Facebones,

I’m not sure, wall on the far side of the room from the person addressing me.

Facebones,

Big oil and big auto have people convinced that it isn’t true, same with new apartments. Decades and billions of dollars to convince Americans that density is for poor people (even though its the dense places where property values skyrocket) and cars are the only acceptable transit because you don’t want to share space with a poor, do you?

Facebones,

My city had Amtrak back in the 70s or something and it came back a few years ago. The common thread I see around here is “I caught an hour delay one time so never again!”

Never mind that they get held up for hours every other time they travel on the highway, that’s just part of it, I guess? Enjoy sitting there burning gas I’ll just take a nap 🤷

Facebones,

Sure, and all of that should be tended to, but it doesn’t make massive delays an absolute or change that driving can be just as unreliable but gets this mental loophole even though people bitch about it constantly.

Facebones,

I selfhost a searxng instance and honestly forget it’s a thing until I’m rebooting my pi or something then wonder why search isn’t working lmao

Facebones,

Fuck AI

Facebones,

I self host with Baikal. On android, you need Davx5 (on fdroid) to tie it into the OS but on your desktop (windows and Linux at least) calDAV will just be an option. Baikal supports CardDAV for contacts as well if you’re into that.

Facebones,

I’m super not a car guy but the country boy in me misses basic ass pickup trucks. My dad had an old ranger and that thing certainly held stuff in the bed well without requiring a staircase. 🤣

Facebones,

I’m going to laugh if all this connectedness is the thing that makes people start supporting public transit and biking again lmao.

“Well who wants to fucking drive anymore if you actually get in trouble for breaking the law?!”

Facebones,

They’re malt liquor drinks IIRC. Shits cheap but ROUGH.

Then add in the massive sugar as mentioned by other user. Its a perfect storm of a bad time.

Facebones,

FWIW, Fuck Israel, free Palestine - but you and other Jews got a friend in me.

Facebones,

Oh is it? Well, fuck. 🤣 NYT has been pretty one sided on certain things so I must’ve mixed em up

Facebones,

I know open source office alternative play pretty well with the proprietary file types now, perhaps the same is true for GIMP and whatever other graphicy stuff? Worth looking into.

Facebones,

Unfortunately, most people have the far simpler issue of “just not giving a fuck.”

Facebones,

I’ve always been familiar with Linux and tech but always used windows cause gaming. Last week I stripped all my drives and set up dual boot to daily drive Linux with a windows fallback for whatever I might need windows for.

Fedora was up and running in no time.

Win 11, I had to jump through the hoops to avoid logging in, it doesn’t label your drives like Linux does so you have to guess or cross reference somehow, twice as many reboots, pages of data settings.

So glad to finally be going Linux ❤️

Facebones,

I agree. I feel like its a personality thing (honestly I feel like its a neurotypical thing, I’m not autistic or anything but definitely divergent) and/or a capitalism thing.

I don’t like cars, but I learned enough about how cars work to be able to take a functional role in my cars maintenance. Most people don’t do that, whether its a car or computer or whatever else in their life.

Facebones,

You’ll be fine! Linux isn’t all that and a bag of chips anymore as long as you’re open to an occasional internet search.

I recognize that Linux isn’t perfect, but people who say it isn’t “ready for users” are people who want to have their cake and eat it too - Want the multi billion dollar polish of windows but with the respectfulness of FOSS (Free Open Source Software.)

Of course, its possible to strip windows of most of its nonsense but again most users would rather die than do a simple search. 🤷

Got a “All Good Things…” tattoo for my birthday. (startrek.website)

My birthday was last week (May 17). Decided to get my first tattoo, which I wanted to be Trek related. As a kid my family had a VHS tape with a recording of “All Good Things…” (and for unknown reasons, “Caretaker”). So I have seen the episode a dozen times. It is my favorite episode of the franchise. The image I’m...

Facebones,

I’ve never gotten a tattoo, trek WOULD make a good one… (And simple if I’m a bitch about it haha)

Facebones,

I’ve always been a trek guy myself. I like star wars but ehhhh Trek for days ❤️

Facebones,

You either are crabs or have crabs

Facebones,

“Why yes, we have every intention of starting and starring in World War 3 featuring the USA as our fellow baddies, thanks for asking!”

Facebones,

I agree, but unfortunately believe if anyone takes up arms on the side of Palestine, we’re going to drop troops the next day.

Facebones,

I’ve had choice since it was monthly, I’ll probably end it this year (I pay yearly) cause eh so much filler. I’d say I get my moneys worth but 🤷‍♂️ I’m getting old anyway haha

Facebones,

This is the big one. people have grown accustomed to an unsustainable system, problem is wages are still so stagnanted so nobody has money for 10 subs to things.

Facebones,

Second Wind (old video team from the escapist) has been going strong but they’re still pretty new.

Idk anything about rps but hopefully some of them rally and do the same.

Facebones,

I think demand will come soon for either manufacturers to open their boot loaders or new manufacturers cropping up to fill that gap.

I’m running graphene os on a pixel 8 pro and haven’t looked back.

Facebones,

There are certainly worse taglines lol

Facebones,

You can also buy a domain name and get cheap email hosting. Less annoying than what I hear proton is. My hosting uses Titan Mail, they’ll occasionally pop up about a new thing they’re working on but I can just be like “no thanks” and they go “cool.”

Facebones, (edited )

If 3,000 dead sends you into a blind murderous rage, but 35,000+ dead is a normal, acceptable “numbers game,” you’re not concerned about life, you’re just a genocidal racist.

Facebones,

I just don’t support genocide

Spends multiple comments over two days screaming about how they justify genocide

Also, enough with the woke accusations. We get it, you think anyone not wearing a white hood is woke, you can shut the fuck up about it already.

Facebones,

I started a home server on an RPI running some services with a dinky HTML page on it, I need to start actually posting to it. I’m already not on fb or Twitter or anything, if you want to know what I’m doing go to my homepage loser! 🤣

Facebones,

Its happening with “killing” or “dead” being subbed for unalive too. I don’t inherently think its bad, just culture moving forward and changing how it always has. “Its simply unexamined social conditioning where they see their peers do it so they do it too never questioning why” Thats just society, friend. Why does anybody do anything?

I’m 36 and don’t understand plenty of young people’s shit now, but that doesn’t inherently make it scary or bad. I don’t really have a point here I guess, except that we should strive to not be the old men who yell at clouds about “those damn kids.” Life and time marches on, things change, and thats fine. 🤷

Facebones,

I’m aware, but it’s made its way into peoples vocabularies IRL as well.

Facebones,

If you’re American, some of them support transit now. I have Magic Earth and it supports it in most major metro areas (and even my dinky little city I believe lol)

Facebones,

I’ve seen 3 different comments lately bitching some variation “if you don’t like America go deal with China’s social credit system!”

Ah yes a credit system meant to control behavior… Surely none of us have credit cards or losns because its the only way to do certain things like even finding a rental in some areas.

Facebones,

Biden is passing a number of laws that do precisely those things, including making ANY criticism of Israel “antisemitic hate speech” and opening up fast passes to strip any org they don’t like of nonprofit status. Also, you can not have a credit card but that means there are certain things you aren’t allowed to access and certain areas you aren’t allowed to live. Saying “IDC” doesn’t mean you’re less restricted, just means you accept your restrictions.

Facebones,

But won’t somebody think of the mega corps?! 😭😭😭

Facebones,

I appreciate you. I rescind my snark lol

Facebones,

Because executive order was the only way to get it done - other methods would have required evidence that doesn’t exist. You’re only backing my argument lmao.
