Oreg-ganno!? What in Sam hill is oreg-ganno!

The stepmushroom.

I’ll never forget this video of a crab being sucked into a pipe being cut or this one of a diver in a similar situation.

I bet it makes a noise like a Skeksi saying hmm.

Missing a dark brown bunny ears headband.

Something missing from this discussion (that I’ve read) is the size of Lemmy. On a much larger platform you can have 6 different flavours of meme communities or tech communities where there are rules banning political news etc but there’s simply not enough people here to split communities.

It also means that smaller communities, like video game specific communities, have all but died off as the couple of people that started them have lost interest or left Lemmy.

While I get some of the arguments I’ve seen against trying to grow Lemmy these small communities are doomed without a dedicated passionate following and places based around niche topics are never going to survive in such a small space.

With all that said; politics are universal and touch on pretty much every aspect of our lives so political topics come up in every community, even small ones and especially one as politically charged as Lemmy.

And by ‘em I mean me. Holding time now, folding time later.

Not sure, but I’ll give that a go this weekend when I have some time to play around with it. Many thanks!

Since all of the “Linux is easy” folk are here I’ll ask a question even though I’m not near my PC:

I’m dual booting W11 and ZorinOS, I have 3 drives and only the OS drive mounts at boot. The other 2, games SSD and a storage HDD, have to mounted manually. An online search yielded that this was “expected behaviour” and “how it’s designed to work” but unfortunately it confuses Steam each time I boot because as far as Steam is concerned the drive ceases to exist.

Has anyone else had the same issue? I think I could use crontab to mount the drives at boot but it seems like something that shouldn’t be happening at all.

Oh, so that’s where all my fucks went!

My brain was skipping like a vinyl for a moment.

I told my mortgage broker what I’d been put through financially as a part of my divorce so that he had an idea of how long it would take for the settlement to get organised (he’d already been made to wait four months). He was like “oh, that’s really rough” to which I responded “eh, you get used to it.”

Gave him a bit of a laugh that I was so nonchalant about it but what else you do after being dragged through it for 3 years? At some point you run out of “it is what it is”.

What a world we live in that I’m not at all surprised that there are guys willing to sent threats over an optional video game filter.

Crazy ol’ world we live in.

Ooh, I like that system!

Once I submitted a leave request months in advance and it didn’t get signed until the day after I left. The day before when I was leaving the office they were making a big deal of the fact it wasn’t signed and I hit them with “it’d be nice if I still have a job when I come back” and left.

It’s not like I was going to cancel all of the booking because they didn’t do their job.

Sudden urge to become an electrician…

Do they though? As a side note, I read the documentation for the proposed system of scanning and it was actually really well designed for privacy. The problem was if they were forced to expand the scope to include other material such as, for example, proof of protest against a regime.

So it’s not software that doesn’t work but hardware that’s weird then? Sure, makes sense.

It’s a gaming mouse (I’m guessing you’re unfamiliar) with customisable buttons. The buttons work best with the software and the software doesn’t work natively on Linux, as previously mentioned.

I wish Linux was seamlessly transitionable but you seem to be saying that I should change to suit Linux. The “you’re holding it wrong” of open source software.

So, the software that runs the features on my mouse and headset run on a VM. Then I play the games in the base OS with those features like software driven surround sound?

This is actually similar to the situation I came across with my friend. “Everything works 100% it’s crazy!” Sweet! How’d you get the customisable mouse buttons working? (He has the same mouse as me) “There are extra mouse buttons? Oh, there are! I never noticed. No, they don’t work anymore”. 😑
