Seemingly many great dishes were born from impatient diners.

Usually people say ground beef, but some call it hamburger meat, or just hamburger.

Certain grocery chains in Canada employ these types of self checkout scanners. Every item is weighed, your bags need to be on the scale from the start and there’s a camera over each checkout.

I wish we could get them in Canada, but we have to stand in solidarity with the country that has threatened to annex us, and steal what little auto manufacturing we have. Honestly stopping the electric car embargo would save us alot of headaches, like them refusing to buy our crops and other shit.

…you can do that? Huh.

i’ve been waiting for an update to break Cachy, before reinstalling, but nothing seems to break like my previous Arch based distros. I put BTRFS on everything because snapshots are the best.

Panda’s being the exception there. My wife is Chinese and it’s in their DNA that they have to love Panda’s. We have so many stuffed animal Panda’s and she has unique names for them all and I’ve been forced to create unique voices for every one of them. Her friend gave her a big panda stuffy and she named him snuggles and since we’re not planning to have kids, and she doesn’t like dogs or cats. I’m forced to provide voiceover for the panda named Snuggles.

You’re right, this was more common in the warez days. Nowadays, I generally trust Pirates. If you’re stupid and download a game from some rando site, and not a trusted repacker then you deserve what happens.

If you’re paranoid, stick to clean steam files and use Goldberg.

This is my go-to for anything that doesn’t want to run:

I’ve switched a few friends to Linux and whenever they have trouble running a game outside steam, I just send them this. Hasn’t failed yet. While I, like many other Linux users enjoy scrolling through logs: this is easier.

Why didn’t your mother teach you proper grammar and spelling?

Most likely they’re not logged in with a paid Plex account. When I head to the web version of the Plex app it’s a shitshow until I login. Then I have all that shit disabled server side.

Nah, I bought it years ago, and have enjoyed the experience for the better part of a decade.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not shitting on jellyfin. But Plex is just the superior experience. I’ve used jellyfin alongside Plex for a couple years and while it’s very useful for sharing content I don’t want my family to see in my Plex libraries. It just doesn’t have the polish that Plex has. There’s definitely potential, and I look forward to where it goes as the project matures. Like all companies, Plex will goto shit eventually, we all know it. The past couple of months have brought annoying changes and I expect them to continue to enshittify the service. But until that time comes I will continue to prefer Plex.

I honestly haven’t opened the android app for awhile. But I just did and the content from my server was right there on load. Near the bottom was trailers and things from Apple TV. I had to scroll pretty far down to see this and if anything it gave me an overview of what was coming up so I could add them to radarr.

I see no Plex content, I have it disabled on my account. So if it was there I’d be pretty annoyed, but it wasn’t. So whatever.

I know Lemmy is obsessed with Jellyfin, but alot of us have lifetime memberships to Plex, and will switch when hell freezes over.

I installed Mint on my buddies computer yesterday and the install defaulted to ext4, and then had the audacity to have “Enable Backups” in the welcome dialog and only have RSYNC available.

It gave me the option to do my own partitions during setup but every time I clicked the link to do so the installer would hang. My buddy started getting nervous so I just left it on default. But I was very annoyed that I couldn’t easily just switch to BTRFS.

I was there last month looking for some safety shoes to replace my redwing boots as I’ve changed roles in my company and don’t need 8" boots anymore. They didn’t have any shoes in stock because they were partnering with New Balance for their fall lineup of safety shoes. I couldn’t wait, so I picked up an ultra light 6" boot that I’m pretty happy with. Still fucking expensive though.

I’ll just leave this here… https://massgrave.dev/

It was indeed. My apologies. I guess the article walking back the ban didn’t get as much traction as the one banning it.

Canada already banned it. Wish I’d got one sooner

Well if they’re gonna charge those prices, they’re probably gonna opt for Denuvo and then we can’t pirate it. But if enough of them do it, then we might see a concerted effort into breaking denuvo

Yup, with ya brother. I have Microsoft certifications dating back to NT4. I’ve never been bothered by anything Microsoft has done, with the possible exception of WinME. I have done thousands of installs for friends and family. When MS started actively preventing me from installing W11 to “older” hardware and requiring a login, I started looking into Linux. I had run Slackware in the 90s so figured Arch couldn’t be that bad… It was actually easier than I remembered.

That was 2 years ago. This past weekend my Dad had somehow been force upgraded even though I had group policies in place to prevent upgrades past 22H2, and he wasn’t happy with the result. Brought Linux Mint, booted from the USB and asked him to do everything he normally does on Windows. Almost all of his activities are browser based so I installed it and have yet to get any calls asking questions.
