LOOK AT ME. I’M THE MAINTAINER NOW.

I know they are dinosaurs, but the fact that someone was drawing comics about checks in 2017 is just baffling.

I don’t recall seeing a check since the late 80s.

vzq,

I’m going to start this article off by saying that you don’t have to be born in the boomer generation to be a boomer. You can be a boomer by acting like one. Hate new stuff? boomer. Run a desktop from the naughties? Boomer

Why even bother having words at all if we’re going to redefine them for clickbait?

vzq,

This is the contempt I’m talking about.

The problem is not GP’s window manager/desktop environment. It’s just that you fundamentally despise your readers.

vzq,

I’m sure there is some worthwhile content in there, but I couldn’t discern it through your palpable contempt for the reader.

vzq,

We hating on salt and lemon juice now?

What’s next, hating on butter and flour?

vzq,

These jokes were old in June 1994. Give it a rest.

vzq,

I picked Gale as my origin character on a whim (I wanted to get to playing without spending too much time in character creation. Also I like wizards), but he’s been a blast to play.

Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

Title. “lmao internet points” and all, but what is the point of participating in a community that sees assumptions and other commonly non-harmful commentaries/posts as “bad” this easily? Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like...

vzq,

Downvotes? What are those?

The attraction of goth gf is just that it’s the only subculture archetype where it’s acceptable to be sexy and not thin like a rail spike. Hence, big tiddy goth gf.

vzq,

The current 13 inch AMD framework is a very neat machine.

Broke a partition. Is there any way of saving it?

While I was switching distros, I accidentally broke a partition. I’m almost certain that all the data is there, but it doesn’t have a filesystem (I used ext4). Is there anything I can do to fix it, similar to changing the file extension without changing the contents. PS: It’s a data partition. I was trying to resize it,...

That’s what people always underestimate about data recovery jobs: you need lots of space. One copy for safekeeping. One to work on. One disk of the same size you store recovered files on.

Whenever friends or family ask me to look at a disk I always tell them to give me the disk and two new ones of the same or greater capacity and I’ll give it a shot. Usually they discover the data isn’t that important after all. If it is I have all I need.

vzq,

That. Unless Domino’s has a completely different pricing strategy in the US, They are the expensive option.

I like eating dominos once in a while, it’s a great sweet fatty snack, but it’s not cheaper.

vzq,

I used to live by that rule, but it turns not everyone likes to be treated the way I like to be treated. So now I just ask how they want to be treated.

Just a trick I picked up from the BDSM subs ;)

Micro***t Word on Linux and alternatives

Are there good Microsoft word alternatives that support Linux (I don’t mind closed source)? Libreoffice is meh and only office is quite good, but are there any better ones? Also, is there a way to install word on Linux using wine? When I do that my laptop just overheats and loses internet connection.

vzq,

These are 90s problems. Just open word files in o365 in chromium or Firefox.

vzq,

Why am I seeing a whole bunch of pictures of female Japanese adolescents dressed like Donald Duck?

vzq,

Tbf I know people with PhDs in two unrelated fields, and they are definitely supervillain material.

You know what’s it like to do a PhD and you want to do it again? Psycho alert!!

vzq,

Those LinkedIn emails are getting out of hand.

vzq,

And good riddance. They were technological marvels, but the continuously slipping release dates made them obsolete the day they were released.

vzq, (edited )

Unfortunately there is no one calling the shots. We’re all just drifting.

Billionaire doing the wrong thing is just a really simple story that journalists know how to write. The rest of the world is a convoluted mess.

vzq,

If we are doing online and non free, just use office365 or Google docs. At least your project mates won’t hate you.

vzq,

They are doing so already. But even that has limits.

Which sequels/prequels/spinoffs made the originals somehow worse?

The Matrix is an often used example, but for me it’s the Alien Prequels - especially Alien: Covenant really makes the Original Alien much worse. When the original was released in 1979 it had the perfect Monster. A dangerous killing machine of unknown origin. The missing background of the alien is a big part of its scary mess....

vzq,

The last season of game of thrones turned it from a huge entertainment sensation to a cultural non-entity.
