M500, to piracy in Do you donate to FOSS projects?

I donated to Linux Mint once, I think it’s time to make another donation.

This time, I think I’ll donate to one of the emulator developers. I’ll have to take a look and see which platform is currently receiving updates pretty regularly. I’m learning towards ryujinx as that’s the main switch emulator I use. But I’m also considering pcsx2 as I really love that system.

M500, to asklemmy in What makes a smartphone useful to you?

I live in a foreign country. So international communication is free and pretty simple.

M500, to asklemmy in What makes a smartphone useful to you?

Yeah, my wife’s a citizen of this country. I just recently got residency, but those restrictions still apply.

I just don’t have to renew my tourist visa anymore and I don’t have to fly out and back into the country trying to every 3 years.

It also lets me get employed by a private company without the need of a work visa.

But I still can’t hold professional jobs. I actually was looking into going to med school at one point to be a doctor here.

School is cheap here, then I found out that even if I go to med school here I’m not allowed to practice medicine.

It’s actually a bit annoying, but now there is one less doctor in this country.

M500, to asklemmy in What makes a smartphone useful to you?

Well I do refer to it as my neighborhood. But I do not speak the local language and I do not know all of the customs.

Even the style of speech in English is different than it is in America. I’ve been here for about 6 years, but you never really know a country and culture the way you know your own.

Just last week, my wife brought home a cheap snack from 7/11. OMG! It was so good, I’ve walked passed them for years only to discover they are my new favorite snack. I have been buying so many bags of them. This is the kind of stuff which makes me feel that this is a foreign country.

In addition to that, there are a number of things I am not able to do here that a citizen can. So in some ways, I can never fit in here. One example, is I cannot hold any professional positions, like lawyer, doctor, or any government position. I can also never own land here.

M500, to asklemmy in What makes a smartphone useful to you?

I’m not from this country so it’s foreign to me.

You could say you have a foreign friend, but does he stop being foreign once your friends or when he comes to visit? Or is he always a foreign friend?

M500, to linuxmemes in My PC is hacked

If I had the opportunity, I’d still wipe the scammers computer.

M500, to linux in Linux holds more than 8% market share in India, and it's on the upward trend

Also consider the number of people in India. There is a massive Linux user base there.

M500, to memes in Hey OpenAI

Just wait until someone connect chatgpt to one of those gigantic 3d printers that print buildings.

Are we really that far from having “AI” do this?

M500, to risa in TIL that Geordi directed some episodes

I literally watch a ds9 directed by him just today.

I could be wrong, but I think it was the episode where odo goes back to when he was the constable for the cardassians in some psychic state.

It was pretty good, but I think Kira over reacted at the end. Maybe I missed something, but she seems to be too hard on him.

M500, to asklemmy in Why do most people not post?

I have posted a few times and almost every time someone complains that the link I posted was already posted by someone else.

Like, sorry, I didn’t see it and I’m not going to spend 15 minutes researching whether an article was already posted here.

So, it’s mainly that.

M500, to linux in Just learned about AppImageLauncher

Looking at you Bitwarden.

Appimage and snap. Why no flatpak?

There is a flatpak, but I’m pretty sure it’s a community version.

M500, to memes in That can only mean one thing

I watched the original run of the anime as a kid. How has it progressed? I have a bunch of questions…

  • does it still follow ash Ketchum?
  • does it tie into the story of the games?
  • what is the general story at this point?
  • does Ash just have a team of legendaries?
  • if I were to start watching again, where should I start?
M500, to memes in That can only mean one thing

Damn! I forgot about those. I think I still have the ones that were distributed with Nintendo power. Although they are in bad shape.

M500, to memes in lots of homework....

Burning cds!

I was trying to burn a copy of a game from my friend. It failed over and over. Eventually it succeeded and I was able to play return to castle wolfeinstein.

Not sure if it failed due to copy protection or whatever, but I played that game a bunch back in the day. In more recent years I just bought it for like $1

M500, to pokemon in What Pokemon game should I play next?

I’m really liking ultra so far. There have been some challenging fight. But it is nothing that can’t be overcome.

I did die to my first wild encounter though.
