Valve has made Linux gaming stupid easy and still people are more worried about FOMO of that small percentage of games that don't run on Linux.

Unfortunately, most of the non-working games are also the ones people tend to have FOMO about. I feel like they're mostly online games with anti-cheats which, by their online nature, means that you will feel really missing out when all of your friends except you play the game, more so than single player games.

~~Critical surgery computers may also be running under Windows LTSC, so they might not get the CrowdStrike patch. Maybe...~~

Edit: So the issue is apparently caused by CrowdStrike. So, unless the surgery computers also use CrowdStrike then it would be fine. Unless, of course, if they use CrowdStrike on surgery computers...

If the document isn't DRMed, then it would be pretty noble. Who knows, maybe once the original document is lost in the sands of time and becomes lost media, your copies will be the only few ones left.

Right... and it's unrelated to the ungodly amount of furries on the Fediverse in general.

Let's not forget this art is on the top of all time list of the furry_irl subreddit, and I even thought this was posted on a furry_irl communities before looking at this community's name.

To be perfectly fair, this is also the case even with real life friend groups, where there are generally that one or two friends who hold the friendship the most.

Singular they rule (pawb.social)

ALT TEXT:

  • Panel 1: A person with the text "Singular 'they'" written on them smiling with open arms.
  • Panel 2: "Singular 'They'" beaten up by others who said, "Singular they is ungrammatical. It's too confusing," "How can anyone use plural pronouns for singular," and "Every pronoun should only have one purpose."
  • Panel 3: "You" hiding from the mob who was beating "Singular 'They'"
  • Panel 4: "German 'Sie'" hiding with even more fear next to "You"

Not that I hated it. It's actually nostalgic seeing all the meme templates I grew up with once more.

ALT TEXT: An image of a velociraptor contemplating with the caption: why are we posting old memes? Well, if Lemmy feels like old internet forums, then the memes must also match

Quite a lot, actually:

  1. The rule. As the sidebar states, You must post before you leave. If you visit this sub, you must post. No such rules exist on !random@kbin.social.

  2. This community seems to focus more on memes than random@kbin.social, which is more random in terms of content. Everything that doesn't fit in other kbin.social magazine goes to random, but 196 isn't completely random as you rarely finds discussions such as this post.

  3. The culture. Historically, 196 has heavy ties with transgender subculture since it was still on Reddit, and it still is to this day. This community is hosted on lemmy.blahaj.zone which is primarily centered around gender diverse and other LGBTQ folk. Random@kbin.social is hosted on a more general instance. There's a lot of memes here which trans people could relate, and many-- if not most-- people here are transgender.

Why do we even need to find the full digits of pi? Wouldn't it be simpler if we keep it short? I'm going to get mad at mathematicians for making pi more complex instead of accepting that maybe pi is indeed more complex than 3.14! /s

Pretty much every instance have defederated from at least one other instance, especially towards instances that hosts illegal images, ones with lackluster moderations, instances that support views they consider dangerous, ones filled with spam bots, and yes, sometimes out of drama or politics.

It's more of a question of which instances they defederated from and why.

Yeah, it's quite bad. Honestly, that's something I knew when I made this joke. I thought it'd be funny if the industry collapse, especially from something like this challenge...

But, I've also heard attempts at making alternatives that is more ethical and doesn't involve civets, so I do hope those could catch on...

For context

Civet Cat Coffee, otherwise known as Luwak Coffee, is made out of the poop of a civet cat that was fed with coffee. Without their poop, the coffee wouldn't exist, hence the meme.

ALT TEXT: Everytime I pooped (followed by an image of a civet cat), you get coffee. Imagine the entire luwak coffee industry collapsing because these MFs don't poop for three days.

When you're a swashbuckling pirates in the lawless seven seas, you gotta come up with clever ways to enforce your ship's code of conduct.

I assume we're talking about spam bots, not bots whose entire purpose is to reupload content from elsewhere into here (i.e. reddit reposter bot).

Most likely, spam. Spam and scam has been quite a problem on Mastodon, so I wouldn't be surprised if bad actors want to bring them here.
