I didn't watch the sequels, Mitch McConnell comes back and AOC tracks him down at the edge of space or something?

Makes me think of my younger days hanging out on 4chan, thinking I was having ironic, satirical laughs with my fellow anons until eventually realizing most of them actually believed what they were saying

Feel like the wording of this headline implies that all Gen Z is LGBTQ+

Not saying that would be a bad thing to be clear

For mods? Personally I just browser Nexus mods for what looks fun or interesting. Just getting command lines going is fun enough for a start. I always at least start a run giving myself a bunch of cash. But honestly, the vanilla game is plenty fun now and pretty well balanced compared to when it started. Still finding side content and weird stuff

For general modding I started with the Redmodding Wiki and then I got over complicated trying to use a mod manager, messing with Steam Tinker Launcher and Mod Organizer 2. In the end just did things manually following the redmodding wiki.

As a relatively recent Windows refugee, I want to share a recent success that has made me feel fully confident in never needing Windows again and fully feeling the Linux superiority.

I got Cyberpunk with all my previous mods running.

Maybe not a big deal for most people, but this was one thing that had kept me holding onto dual boot on my main device. Conversations online also kept making modding on Linux seem so impenetrable.

Then I decided to spend an afternoon figuring out modding games in general on Linux, and yeah parts of it was tough for me to figure out, but now I'm confident that anything I used to do on PC, I can probably do better on Linux.

I am ready to take up arms alongside the Weaponized Assault Penguin squad.

I feel like this professor pissed off a lot of students who joined his class expecting sermons or something. Did more to reinforce my atheism than anything else. He was a good dude

Knew a theology professor (ended up in his class for credits somehow) who went with the "multiple Jesus's" theory. Apparently it's quite possible that stories of a variety of healers/figures got combined into the Jesus mythos. Explains a lot of the time and geographical inconsistencies with the historical record iirc

Interesting to think of American and British accents as opposites. I actually learned English (my first and only fully fluent language) living in New Zealand until kindergarten age but no one ever says I have a Kiwi or Aussie accent. I like to tell people I have an "international schooled kid" accent.

Not me, I'm on a whole other continent, watching the blaze, hoping it doesn't spread too far.

Always felt I had an American accent, that's what most people say I have. Multiple American friends (Californians mostly) have said I sound British. When I tell non Americans this they laugh.

Personal conclusion: most Americans aren't great at identifying accents.

I'd like to say I did that on purpose to show how dumb they'd be renaming it, but it is I who can't remember my East and West

 

If I'm not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I'm sharing, I'll just eat them.

Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.

So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?

 

Any recommendations for something like "Amusing Ourselves to Death" but written after the internet became mainstream?

Something recently had me thinking about the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" that made me want to give it a re-read, and as relevant as the main ideas still are for today, I wondered if there is a more recent book that is just as well received on the topic of society's addiction to amusement.

 

Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo.

In the past I've felt like Outer Wilds scratched this itch, cause the whole experience was engaging but generally relaxed. There was a mystery that kept me hooked and the exploration and movement was fun in and of itself. I also felt like Subnautica filled this role since it was very much at my own pace, with anxiety producing portions which could for the most part be avoided or minimized, and also there was a clear objective to fulfill, get off the planet.

So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?

 

Complete Linux noob so apologies if anything I say or ask about sounds dumb.

I want to start making the switch to Linux and I've got most things figured out I think. I plan on putting either Mint or Fedora on my old Surface Go gen 1 because it's not critical for my work and potentially losing some functionality there won't cause huge issues, but my main use of it right now is taking notes on Onenote that I can then view and edit from my other devices as well.

Looking into Onenote and alternatives on Linux, I keep running into comments about the lack of handwriting support or no straightforward answers about stylus support. Anything Lemmy recommends I try? Also, any advice on running Linux on the Surface Go in general is welcome. Found some resources already but doesn't seem like people do this often.
