Thats not what Hanlon’s razor is about. Hanlon’s razor just states that people are more likely to be stupid than cruel. You can scrutinize wage theft without immediately jumping to the conclusion that the hr worker is maliciously altering your paycheck for the companies gain.
Hey Buzz doesn’t hate the moon, he just demands it know its place.
You can still get jazzy with it tho once you understand tha chemistry well enough.
Ah yes this stupid ass post that thinks baristas are making more than construction workers and forklift drivers…

It’s not fedi but I think Letterboxd might be a good step toward what you’re looking for.
They literally want to shut down whole government agencies for ‘wokeness’…
Richard Stallman bursts through the wall ”IVE NEVER INSTALLED GNU/LINUX!”
To actually answer you: Linux itself isn’t what most computer users would understand as an ‘operating system’. GNU/Linux is a family of software packages that are used to build an operating system but there is no ‘Linux OS’ the way there is Windows. And SteamOS is poised to be the best shot at significantly increasing the market share of gnu/Linux based operating systems in the general population. The steam deck is basically just the pilot program for the full release of an OS what, a decade in the making? That said, most people aren’t really going to care let alone understand the nuances of Linux/gnu/foss/kernals/etc. and so Steam OS, though a distro build on GNu/Linux technology, is going to look like its own thing to most outside observers.
If this is flawed please feel free to correct me!
Are memberships closed? I tried signing up but have never gotten the registration email.
Eh I wouldn’t go so far as to say that the result of apathy is the same as actual endorsement. I just feel you have lost too much solid ground because of a lack of participation that you are simply no longer considered in the sea of opinions/needs. But semantics aside, we agree.
Do you just not understand how numbers work? Of the number of people who showed up to be counted, ie the ones invested enough to still give a fuck one way or another, more people voted for this than against it. That may not necessarily reflect the sentiments or ideology of the entire population. But if they wanted to be counted then they should have shown the fuck up. Bitch all you want about tyrants and tyranny because it’s fucking here. But stop kidding yourself that these people are still real underdogs in the grand scheme. Their ideology and dumbfuckitude is absolutely gaining ground and pretending it isn’t just adds another blind spot to be exploited.
Ngl, I’m with you, holy crap they seem absolutely miserable.
@[email protected] I say this with all the love for a stranger I can have in my heart:
This is a bit right? You’re doing a bit? …right?
The number of people on the internet making that statement is a much smaller number than the number of people who go to the movies. For every person saying they want more original content there are Hundreds if not thousands of people who don’t care and just go see the latest blockbuster that feels like a safe bet.
I have had more crappy interactions with mods on lemmy in the past year than I did in almost a decade on reddit.
Please tell me if I'm the asshole here. But holy crap. I know mod's get a bad wrap rap but wow do the mods seem WAY more petty and petulant here.

so i have this extra monitor that i wanted to turn into a fake window some times
collection of random scripts made public. Contribute to LemJukes/AHK-Scripts development by creating an account on GitHub.
It is the back end head for an HTPC that moslty just shows task manager and my plex dashboard just to show something. recently my partner showed me window-swap dot com and i have been putting that on instead. but with the monitor in portrait mode it doesnt look all that great with the video taking up the middle 1/3 of the screen with big bars on top and bottom. Not caring too much about video quality i wanted to see if there was a way to zoom the image so it would take up the full screen height and then pan back and forth slowly like the old and terrible pan & scan format. realizing i could do this manually with the built in Magnifier feature. I whipped out autohotkey and your gpt flavor of choice and threw this together. zoomed into 300% and moved the picture to a good spot and started the script. not the most intuitive thing but I'm still very in experienced and ti's been a minute since i was able to actually make a thing even remotely close to complete if not the most intuitive thing. AHK at link, would love feedback.
I will remember Weyoun
there once was this dsnine meme video that was like twenty minutes long and had the Wii Channel Theme running all throughout
but then one day it disappeared and this screenshot from my work computer is all i have left of it missed my youtube-dl chance

Advice for setting up my nephew’s first laptop.
Hey All,
So here’s the deal, I have an old HP laptop I am in the process of resetting and setting up wiping and setting up as my ~8yo nephew’s first computer. He played his first PC game sitting on my lap and I am determined to fuel his budding interest in computers as much as possible. He has an iPad from his parents and has been attending a ‘code ninjas’ camp for kids his age and has been loving it. So for Christmas this year I asked his parents and they’re comfortable with him having his own, supervised, system.
I was planning to start with just a blank slate on the machine with a parent account and then a child account for him. Obviously the parental controls will be in place with his parents getting a crash course in anything they don’t already know how to use(they’re tech literate so I’m not worried about that). But they’re not CS people and I’m only barely self taught over the years.
I have this vision of giving him a sandbox with enough toys and tools (as much FOSS as possible) that he can safely play around and build/make things on his own. So here’s where my question for y’all comes in, what are your recommendations for a budding computer scientist/programmer’s first Windows machine? And just to head it off at the pass, no, we can’t go the Linux route yet. I don’t have the experience/expertise to support a system like that remotely and his parents have even less. I’m also wondering if there are any tutorials or resources I could load onto the machine that he can /watch learn from without an internet connection?
And lastly I’m wondering if anyone has any advice for encouraging him to push the boundaries of the parental controls and locks on the system. Obviously not in a way that undermines his parents authority. But I want to encourage that sense of almost devious exploration that encourages even just users to truly analyze and understand the limitations and cracks in systems they’re dropped into. To give a probably horribly outdated example from my past: figuring out how to bypass the proxy service the school network used to access browser game websites.
- Currently only on mobile and memmy seems to be having some trouble properly displaying comments and posting my replies. I’m seeing things in my inbox but am only able to see my comment on the actual post. Will respond to people once I’m home and can access the actual site. Thanks for all the advice so far, keep it coming!

I guess the steam page with the game on a big sale is as good a place as any to start?
Project Zomboid is the ultimate in zombie survival. Alone or in MP: you loot, build, craft, fight, farm and fish in a struggle to survive. A hardcore RPG skillset, a vast map, massively customisable sandbox and a cute tutorial raccoon await the unwary. So how will you die? All it takes is a bite..
I noticed there wasnt a PZ community on lemm.ee yet so i figured I'd make one.
