TheGrandNagus, (edited ) to risa in Competency on a four shift rotation.

Don’t forget when she tortured Tom Paris by giving him 30 days of solitary confinement, no reading material or anything to stimulate him, and gave him purposefully bland food the entire time.

That was already considered a breach of human rights in our unenlightened 20th century, but Janeway saw it as a fitting punishment for… checks notes… saving an entire species of sentient alien life, albeit ones whose ruler decided that they didn’t want to be saved.

*Nvidia didn’t support Wayland

TheGrandNagus, to memes in How could the EU do this??

All of Europe, and a bunch of other places, are swinging to the right. It’s not an Anglosphere thing, you just read english-speaking news more.

Funny enough, the UK is in the process of swinging back leftwards again at the moment. Roll on the 2024 general election.

TheGrandNagus, (edited ) to piracy in GTA V source code has been leaked.

Exactly, all these redditors and lemmyers (lemmings??) keep saying “oh he should be working for MI5 or a cyber security firm, not getting court-ordered mental support!”

And it makes me want to bang my head against the wall. Even if we ignore him purposely breaking the law while on curfew from breaking the law previously, has been violent, and straight up said he wants to commit more crime, even if all of that is ignored, no company would trust him.

His application would be thrown straight into the bin in my company, and we don’t even deal with stuff that’s that sensitive.

Like seriously, have these people ever heard of the concept of insider threats?

TheGrandNagus, to piracy in GTA V source code has been leaked.

And people keep making up bullshit about him.

He’s not in prison, he’s in a mental institution getting therapy because he has issues and was violent. He straight up told the judge he intends to commit more crimes.

I have zero love for Rockstar’s bs and I do have admiration of this young man’s skills, but he clearly presented himself as someone who can’t just be free without any further intervention.

TheGrandNagus, to risa in Tom Paris probably prefers Bill Murray

Crusher eying up those chains 😩

TheGrandNagus, (edited ) to linux in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

Gnome is amazing, without it I probably wouldn’t bother with Linux. Honestly nothing comes close UX-wise for me. I don’t want yet another Windows clone.

Minimising is a misuse of the gnome workflow, ideally you’d move a window to another desktop. Better than hiding it in some dock IMO.

Maximising I literally never used the button for anyway. I double clicked the title bar, dragged the program to the top, or pressed Super+Up. Aiming for a relatively small button just feels worse than all of those. It’s literally a pointless button and I feel like the only reason anybody has it it just because they’re used to seeing it/having a Windows UX.

It’s fine that you want your UX to work like Microsoft’s, but that doesn’t mean others are bad.

E: people get really upset when you point out that their Windows clones are windows clones lol. It’s not an insult.

TheGrandNagus, to memes in “I come from the slums; I come from a hard background; I come from a poor family; and I was a soldier.”

Crusty jugglers

TheGrandNagus, to memes in Skirts are breezy and comfortable. Fuck off.

The life of a skinny man. Do I choose the clothes that fit me right, or do I choose the clothes with usable pockets?

TheGrandNagus, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in Truly inspirational

I didn’t say the US did… I’m explaining it in a way Americans would understand, because they use feet but unusually don’t use its weight equivalent, and ask in comment sections wtf a stone is (bit of a funny role reversal considering it’s usually US units people are asking wtf they mean)

It’s pretty much just the UK and Ireland that use it, and even then, it’s only used for weighing people, boxing, and horse racing.

A lot of people just say their weight in kg, stone is used less and less as older people die out.

TheGrandNagus, to lemmyshitpost in Truly inspirational

Stones = feet but for weight not length

TheGrandNagus, to lemmyshitpost in Lifehack for naive schoolchildren

It’s probably one of those toy cars where pulling it backwards winds up a coil thing inside, then releasing it drives it forward.

TheGrandNagus, to linux in Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?

I’m like this with windows these days tbh

I get to the desktop and I’m like how the fuck do I even use this thing

TheGrandNagus, to memes in title

Not just America. There are non-urban places everywhere.

TheGrandNagus, to memes in Colonial

Yeah no. Your typical worker arriving on a ship would not have been fat/overweight, and it’s unlikely that typical native Americans looked like they spent serious time in a gym lol

I also dunno why you’d think only Europeans have age-related hair loss
