TheGrandNagus, to risa in Nerds of equal standing.

Probably my favourite Babylon 5 line ❤️

TheGrandNagus, to lemmyshitpost in Truly inspirational

Stones = feet but for weight not length

TheGrandNagus, to linux in Is there any future for the GTK-based Desktop Environments?

No, they don’t exist because of Gnome lol.

Source on it reinventing the wheel every 2-3 years?

Gnome 3 was well over a decade ago. It’s worked the same way ever since.

TheGrandNagus, (edited ) to linux in Is there any future for the GTK-based Desktop Environments?

Gnome is extremely productive, the workflow is amazing, much better than the Win95 workflow that everyone else uses, IMO.

Don’t really see how it’s changing every 2-3 years. Gnome 3 was well over a decade ago and not much has changed since. I don’t see why you felt the need to lie about that?

TheGrandNagus, to linux in Looking to switch to Linux in the somewhat distant future

Mint is good, unless it’s very new hardware in which case the base (so things like drivers) can be a little dated.

Look up Ventoy. It’s a tool where you can put multiple ISOs onto one USB drive and boot into any of them. You can use that to try out a few distros. Maybe Mint, Fedora, PopOS, Ubuntu.

TheGrandNagus, to linux in GNOME Recognized as Public Interest Infrastructure

Desktop icons 🤢

TheGrandNagus, (edited ) to linux in KDE Plasma 6.0 Approved For Fedora 40 - Including Dropping The X11 Session

Wayland is already the present for most Linux users.

Shit, it’s been enabled by default on Debian since 2019. Debian. The famously slow-moving distro.

TheGrandNagus, (edited ) to asklemmy in What are some problems that countries outside the U.S. are dealing with?

The Brexit clusterfuck was prior to the Trump clusterfuck, and certainly prior to Texit.

Shit, chief neoliberal shithead Reagan is just Thatcher with a USA badge slapped on the front.

TheGrandNagus, (edited ) to linux in Best DE for touch screens but also normal use

Not even slightly true lol

It works very well on desktops, and is forced upon nobody.

TheGrandNagus, to linux in Canonical's Steam Snap is Causing Headaches for Valve

There’s a misunderstanding here. What we mean is that the Snap system itself is proprietary. The server side is proprietary and there’s no way to add repos other than Canonical’s.

Flatpak is open, and anybody can create/add a remote.

Both can be used to package and distribute proprietary software. But the same could be said of .deb or .rpm

TheGrandNagus, to risa in Just a little bit

Phlox, Janeway, Sisko

Damn. Lots of genocide from the good guys.

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 lemmyshitpost in Bob the sad man

Yeah, I’ve seen that. Dubbing Oprah over Attenborough.

I don’t really get it. It’s not like the language is different. Imagine how bizarre it’d be if the UK dubbed over the Simpsons and made them Scouse or something

Actually that’d be pretty funny, I’m all for scouse Simpsons

TheGrandNagus, to risa in Use your own holodeck time, Beverly.

A Christmas Carol was just Picard’s holodeck program. Change my mind.

TheGrandNagus, to risa in Six months after The Cage

I actually loved that Tuvok was simultaneously psychopathic, extremely unstable, as well as violent in terms of his emotions, and yet at the same time was an almost perfect Vulcan in his ability to suppress it.

It really solidified the feeling that maybe Vulcans were right to emotionally discipline themselves the way they did, and make them look like what they do, they do out of real necessity if they want to be a civilised society, as opposed to something they just decided to do because they’re perfect space elves.
