Naw, it's about pretending to stop cheaters. It's security theatre, same as the TSA

It's possible, but I doubt it.

Occam's Razor says people stayed home because the Democrats ran a shitty centrist who tried to appeal to the nonexistent 'moderate Republican'. The Democrats have been doing that as long as I've been alive.

If you need to ask, then you haven't been paying attention

This is just for him to get a basic feel for the various distros, before choosing one to permanently install; setting up a VM properly is probably going to be too technical

 

Does anybody know of a list of usb live-bootable distros, with links to the download pages?

I have a coworker who wants to switch his gaming computer over to Linux, he has Linux experience but from like a decade ago.

He's not partial to any particular distro, so I was hoping to just put together a multiboot flash drive with a bunch of live images he could try. But I'm not sure what I should include, and what has live images, vs. install only images.

I'm most comfortable in an environment with apt, so Debian and Mint are of course already covered, but if the gaming-specific distros have live usb images, that would probably be the best thing for him to try.

It's a portmanteau of brotherhood and friendship, with the joke being that they are on a boat

I'm still waiting for the full-planet weather model. That will be something.

That's going to be a hard one, given that past weather patterns are increasingly not predictive of future weather patterns, because something keeps dumping CO2 into the atmosphere and raising the global temperature

Clearly you didn't bribe the right person

Yes, Democrats are shitty, and unsuited to govern. Do you prefer the more aggressively shitty party, who are less suited to governing, and actively initiated the thing you are complaining about, rather than passively allowing it?

If you want to talk molotovs and revolution, I'm all ears, but if your idea of resistance is allowing the worse people to win, again, clown.

Well let's see, in the past presidency, Democrats have failed to do much of anything good, and Republicans have succeeded in causing significant harm.

Clearly these two are the same, right? You fucking clown

 
 

When reading a web page within Connect, it would be nice if long-pressing on links in the webpage would give a popup with the option to open the link in an external browser (and probably also an option to just copy the link). I frequently find myself linked to Wikipedia from a Lemmy comment, and then want to open other links from that wiki page, so then I have to open the page I'm on externally and refind my spot in the article.

Having the same options when long-pressing a link in a comment/post would be nice as well.

 

Edit: there's already a setting for it, another user pointed it out. Ignore me :)

~~Currently, when you block an instance or community, it's blocked app-wide. I had blocked various NSFW communities and instances on my main account so that they don't show up in my All feed, but now I can't access them from my NSFW account unless I use a different app to do so, or repeatedly unblock and reblock them as needed.~~

~~Can we instead make block lists on a per-account basis (or have the option of account-associated or global blocking)?~~

 

The text when I try to type comments (but not the text in the search bar or, as I'm just now learning, here in the 'post body' text box) is white, and I can't find the setting to change it. Obviously I could change my background back to the default blue that it was, but that's the opposite of a solution.

Anybody know?
