Yeah that's what I meant by clever naming. I guess I was reading too deep. I thought it was referencing more.
I failed a brain check, I've been googling those names for 30 minutes. I don't get the reference. What's the joke here? I would have just taken it as cleaver naming for the region.
Just watch the reports it's happening across the USA in different states. This is why I'm a huge supporter of make sure to take care of your health because your employer can replace you.
First OSish was what came default with the Commodore 64. My first full fledged OS was Windows 3.11. My first Linux distro was Mandrake I think 6.
Thank you for this. I had no idea this occurred.
Exactly what I was thinking. Omega Mart immediately came to mind.

Unfortunately Michael Caine said it best, "Some men just want to watch the world burn." I hope social media helps these rangers find those people.
I've been a Voyager user for awhile, but I'll give this one a try. I saw the uses Voyager screen navigation.
How is Linwarrior 3D? Has anyone played it? It claims it's an open source game similar to MechWarrior 2.
I'm with you, to this day the only puzzle that still is challenging is the marble puzzle.
TIL they made a live action Avatar series, now I need to find a friend with Netflix
So if they are children we can take them off our taxes? I joke but that same thinking happened in Georgia when the pregnant woman used the HOV lane being the only person in the car.

Old Adventures - Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb
I was a bit of a console kid in the late '80s to early '90s. So their are plenty of games I missed on PC. I'm going to throw out the old games as I play them on my list for two reasons. One to promote older forgotten games, and to clear my back log of games.
This week I started playing a game I had never heard of Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb. It's a point and click game, so if it's not your style that's fine. You play as Rif of the fox tribe trying to solve the mystery of the missing orb.
I haven't completed it yet, but I'm a decent ways in. I just got the item from the observatory. I'm trying to be discreet to not spoil anything. When I was young I was a big fan of all Myst games, so this game has been a joy to me.
If anyone has any other recommendations for adventure games let me know please.
This news shouldn't be a shock to anyone. Ubuntu is just doing what they've been doing all along, and that is trying to push they're snap packages.
As long as distros give people the option/ability to install in other ways I don't see a problem. Now if Ubuntu out right banned any other way to install apps that would be big news.
What has been your favorite Adult Swim show?
What has been your favorite Adult Swim show? Went back recently to see what they were showing to set my DVR, and started rewatching Cowboy Bebop.
I've had many over three years, but Cowboy Bebop was definitely the first one that got my attached to watch Adult Swim.
Distro Question
I have an HP Victus laptop that I'm trying to get to fully work. It has two GPUs. The integrated is an AMD and the discrete is an Nvidia. For about a month I've been attempting to get Debian 12 to see and use the Nvidia card. My knowledge on anything Linux is not strong.
I got as far as getting the proprietary driver loaded. I just couldn't get anything to side load it when I launched anything.
I've stepped back a bit, and started to wonder if I'd have a better experience if I tried a different distro. I've heard some are better for multi-GPU situations like Manjaro.
So I guess I'm asking everyone if I should try jumping distros for this AMD/Nvidia situation?
environmental variable question
I've been searching for three days and can't find any details to what this environmental variable does. Their have been issues for some people with Battle Net and I've seen people say to add WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY. What does this variable do?
Bringing Nostalgia to the Youngfurs
So when your out and about what of this current world reminds you of something from your childhood that you have tried to get a youngfur into? May it be outdated hobby, entertainment of the past, or simply something that isn't as popular anymore?
For me it's been Super Nintendo video games, and shows from the 80s. For instance I know Netflix killed it, but I've gotten a few of this century to get into Jim Henson things of the 80s. Specifically Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. But I have themed nights that helps introduces these things.
Attempting the jump again
I'm not the richest guy. My desktop of 6 years died on me, so I only have my Thinkpad T440p. It has an Intel HD Graphics 4600.
Wanted a OSX looking distro, so I chose Elementary OS. I had trouble in the past getting Vulkan to work on it. Wish me luck I'm using Lutris at the moment to get WoW installed.
Diablo Immortal
Currently downloading the game to my phone. I have never played this particular Diablo, but I have played the first 3 very much. I'm going into this with open eyes and an optimistic mind.
Now I have no intention of purchasing anything. My goal is to see how far I can get into this game before it either stuck behind a pay wall or it becomes an insurmountable grind.
Those that have played it, how far into it did you get before you put it down?
Gear upgrade system
Ok let me begin by saying I'm an extreme casual. I only get to play 1-2 hours maybe 4-5 days a week. Because of my limited time I don't do any modern expansion dungeons or raids.
I heard about this gear upgrade system. I see where everyone is talking about upgrading veteran and above, but I don't see any information on upgrading adventure. Does anyone have any good info on where I can get that level of gear and what I need to do to upgrade it?
Old Scholomance and Naxx
Old Scholomance is back in Patch 10.1.5, allowing players to farm transmogs and recipes once lost to time! Learn how to unlock the instance in this post.
So it's been out a few weeks now. How many of you have gotten access to old Scholomance and/or Naxx? I'm not planning to drop 2.8mil on a Naxx outfit, but I'm enjoying going back and getting access to the spots. Getting my transmog itch.
pixelfed? asking for opinions
So since I joined this Lemmy journey, I've started looking at other options and found Pixelfed. Does anyone here use it? How is the service? And can you link with Lemmy?
I saw it also uses the activitypub protocol, so I'm just trying to see how far this protocol reaches.
Second Hand Apple
I've never been able to buy a brand new computer. It's their any good sites besides ebay that sell second Hand Apple laptops? Most intense thing I play is WOW. So I don't feel like I need the best of the best. Does anyone have any suggestions for myself who wants to get a MacBook?
GOG Summer Sale
Just wondering if anyone saw anything that caught their eye.
