The album is pretty good on an initial listen, though I do think the front half far exceeds the back half. It flows pretty well throughout however, but the final track doesn't really leave a satisfying conclusion, and it may have even been better to end it with TELEKINESIS instead.

Massive one. People automatically assume those who have defined areas that others are not allowed to access (ie personal/physical contact, topics of communication, literal areas they restrict in their home, etc) are prudish and being willfully obstinate for unfounded reasons, without considering why these boundaries are set in the first place.

The second you inconvenience someone, they assume you're the problem.

Based.

Thank you for creating a safe space. I'm an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and am happy there's a space not for "everyone", but for those willing to accept trans folk and silence those against them (while having funny posts on it as well).

My wife loves these guys, specifically Leo P on the saxophone. Neat to see them mentioned here. I'll have to check out the album!

I had the same thought process seeing the software repository on Linux Mint for the first time. It really is set up like a MacOS or general Appstore interface.

Happy for your brother getting comfortable with Linux so quickly! Way to go!

Really interesting concept. I enjoyed what I played out of the demo, though hopefully in the full game they explain the usage of the camera a little more (most likely in the skipped levels/puzzles)

A lot of people have already talked about the onboarding/installation experience, so I'll just chime in and say a lot of new users are unfamiliar with using a terminal for commands and instead favour a GUI experience solely for their tasks. Most modern and commercially appealing distros are moving in this direction (ie applications running the same terminal commands in the background with an easy to understand UI at the front) but I'd still say the community's insistence on terminal over all other forms of executing a command may be a turn off for the layman trying it for the first time after Windows and MacOS.

Almost makes me think it would be more ideal to reduce the stigma associated with executing commands in the terminal and find some way to get people more comfortable with using it, both via Linux and also CMD for Windows as well.

I've always been partial to "irrelevant to the discussion".

For example: if a post is detailing increased temperatures compared to a previous year: ✅ Comment saying "This is most likely an effect of global warming" ✅ Comment saying "This paper is potentially biased as the paper/publication is sponsored" ✅ Replies to these comments discussing the legitimacy of their claims (for or against them) ⛔ Comment which is promoting their own content (even if related) with no discussion of the linked post ⛔ Intentionally incendiary comments. "Liberals will say it's climate change I bet." ⛔ Completely off topic. "Ok but guys let's talk about SCARING THE HOES for a second here. Straight flames."

Too many people use a downvote as "I disagree" when a comment may actually provide a different viewpoint and - as long as it's respectful and open to counterpoints itself - can be a nice addition to the discussion.

I'd like to learn more about how to do this. I've got a home theater PC I've been using as a NAS via simple windows & samba file sharing, but I'd like to expand that to tools like Jellyfin and potentially something like writefreely or a podcasting platform for others to enjoy. I've looked it up cursorily but would appreciate if you could share additional resources my way in developing my own server here as well. (All good if you don't have any to share, I can just google as well I suppose)

I did the same when Masahiro Sakurai explained how to do so when revealing Byleth for Smash Bros. Ultimate. It's come in handy a few times when needing to count things out, and honestly can be a fun exercise for dexterity to just count to 31 on each hand.

Jerboa. Does everything I need it to.

When Boost for Lemmy comes out however I will most likely transition to there.
