I like that they both use the same operator.

Same. Not that I do advanced stuff, but KRunner is often good enough.

Haha, one of the comments on that article is just:

Recession indicator.

… And I think they’re right. 😭

This is where you point out to whomever banned you that:

You can upvote posts that you like so that more users will see them, or downvote posts so that they are less likely to be seen.

Nowhere does it say anything about how to vote, except for later on the page:

Lemmy attempts to limit the visibility of votes to protect user privacy. But due to the way Lemmy works, votes cannot be completely private. Instance admins can see the names of everyone who voted on a given post or comment, and community moderators can see the names for the communities they moderate. This helps to fight against vote manipulation.

They don’t explain what “vote manipulation” is.
But if an admin saw you were downvoting most posts, then that’s probably why you got banned. I just don’t downvote stuff unless I feel like it doesn’t belong, or if someone isn’t actively contributing.
Or maybe they saw multiple users from the same IP as you downvoting a lot of posts.

This is apparently how vote manipulation looks to them.

Until 2021 when I got my new PC, I still had a bluray/cd/dvd burner, although I don’t recall ever using it for burning anything. I guess that era is finally getting laid to rest.
Also, way back when it was a requirement to burn CD’s and DVD’s in order to install operating systems like linux, I don’t ever recall using a CD-RW disc. I guess I thought of them a bit like potions in skyrim where by the end of the game I end up with hundreds of them and then never using them when I really needed to.

Like Cypher said in The Matrix: “Ignorance is bliss”.

The article somehow managed to link to the 3.2 version, so here is the correct link to the 3.3 version. They also suggest flathub, but at the time I’m writing this, they haven’t updated to 3.3 yet.

EDIT: What a battle getting the dependencies to match in order to compile. And it took 19 minutes to compile. ;_;

One of the few games based on the Quake 2 engine. Which is a shame, I quite liked the chunky feel of it.

If they’re having traffic accidents, why not try driving on the right side of the road first?

Hahaha, what a great way to start tuesday morning.

I did find a video which appears to be of Pinto as well: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFRl6Jhx2FT/
Maybe it’s more to avoid the guests getting nibbled on accidentally, that is, even if unlikely, to avoid lawsuits.

What’s with the wooden tongs? Is Pinto a biter?

Brodie interviewed the creator of Anubis a little while back, it’s pretty good.

Another example of this is the “Bladerunners” in the UK. They go around and remove ULEZ (ultra low emission zone) traffic cameras which are set up to try and reduce emissions in London.

Shame that nobody had a 360° photo of the spot on google maps streetview there, I checked all over that island.

That’s certainly a concern for some, but I’m using like 30 GB for all the things I’ve installed, which is a lot (12 (flatpak-system), 76 (flatpak-user)) but that’s on a 2 TB drive, which amounts to like 1½% of the total available space. I don’t think that’s a bad trade.

I barely remember the story of SiN, but I do remember enjoying it when it came out. That whole “guy in the chair”/mission control shtick is probably why I hold this game in the same category as Deus Ex in my head, even though they’re very different.

I tend to stop torrents when they hit 1000, I feel like that’s a “good enough” contribution on public stuff, except when I notice less than 100 seeders, then I tend to keep it going.

I’ve probably hurt myself worse, but one memory that stands out is me crawling around in a bush, getting my pants stuck and then losing my grip so I turn upside down with my head in a bunch of stinging nettles.
