I spent the last 6 months working on a feature. Found out 2 weeks before release that it was being postponed.

Came here to write advertising. Your product should speak for itself.

Landlording, however, is not an occupation. They’re just parasites who’ve convinced people it is.

A really good way to do linux is to play around and break things, but to have a backup you can restore from.

I don’t know about other distros specifically, but Mint comes shipped with Timeshift, which is easily configurable and can be set up to include your home directory. Make a backup on an external drive every now and again so that if you break everything, you only lose a bit of work instead of all of it.

Search engines are your friend. If you want to do something, look it up first (ex/ “How do I [x] on linux”) and read some of the answers. Don’t just go with the first option you see, and if it looks decent but you don’t understand it try looking up the commands it uses to find some documentation.

Learning linux isn’t something you can do as passively as you can with Windows, so take time to really try and learn things you’re looking to do.

And a good rule of thumb is that if you think your system should be able to do something, it probably can.

I have terrible but defined habits for my ROMs. I use the same folder structure for all of them.

./[platform]/[game]/[game].zip

./[platform]/[game]/[game].iso

./[platform]/[game]/saves/…

If it’s a series, using Pokémon as an example, I also have:

./Pokemon/Backups/[game].zip

./Pokemon/[generation]/[game]/[game].iso

So it’s not that good of a backup, mainly there in case the iso corrupts, but I think it’s better than nothing.

As a Jr. Full Stack, I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

I work with Java. And I’m definitely ‘rose tinted glasses’ because I also learned to code in Java. But I’m the opposite.

Do you use Java at home?

Fuck no, I want to stay sane.

I only noticed with my partner after they already told me they were a lefty, and we were working together one day and kept bumping each other.

Now we make sure that I sit on the right and they sit on the left.

Mine’s outside, but I also have the same version… who’s out here cloning this cat?

Oh I’ve been trying. He’s tech adverse in general, so the concept of open source software scares him because it means trusting others with regards to tech.

It also doesn’t help that my dad still isn’t filly convinced Linux isn’t a virus/dangerous to my PC.

Another way to think about it is that there are companies that make money off of gambling. If they’re making money off of it, then there’s more money coming in than they’re giving out. Meaning gambling is designed for the average player to lose money.

The first time I saw this picture, I was in middle school. It may well have been my first introduction to politics and started me down the path of leftism in general. Over a decade later and nothing’s changed.

Honestly. I genuinely have to fight to not say please and thank you.

Not universally but yeah. Ceiling lights can be really bad for overstimulation, so a lot of ND people will prefer to never turn an overhead light on in favour of using lamps/natural light.

There are other things that get self-censored due to filters. The two that I’m thinking of are “suicide” and “murder” (which a lot of people reword as “unalived” or “committing game over”).

Another one that I saw was a history summary channel I watch on YouTube couldn’t get monetized because they kept mentioning Hitler (in a video about the end of WW2) so they had to keep saying “the toothbrush moustache having Austrian man” to get around the censor.

God damn it, I hate this hacker crap!

Fun fact: According to our governing documents, the Governor General is the Queen’s representative, and King Charles is just fulfilling the role and duties of the Queen. Evidently, those who wrote is assumed Victoria would never die.

Gotta allow for a little uncertainty, just to absolutely ruin everything.

Well there’s your problem. You need to get a cabinet.
