If I were ever to open a restaurant – which I’m not – it would be a deli.

I wish I lived near a kebab shop.
- Comment on Martha Stewart's actual Halloween costume 2 days ago:
To be clear, “mildly infuriated” isn’t the same thing as “not infuriated at all.” I am not not outraged at this.
- Comment on Martha Stewart's actual Halloween costume 3 days ago:
In the grand scheme of… [gestures broadly at society/politics/economy], Martha Stewart’s bullshit is small potatoes.

- Comment on Skyblivion team says former volunteer is threatening to sue over code dispute 4 days ago:
If they were going to do that then it would’ve been OpenMW instead of some mod for a proprietary game.
- Comment on Sir Patrick Stewart is the only Star Trek actor to appear as his character and with himself on screen at the same time 5 days ago:
He worked on Star Trek: Picard but never got to meet Patrick Stewart?
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 and BioWare Reportedly Died So Star Wars Battlefront 3 Could Live 5 days ago:
To be fair, Mass Effect 5 wasn’t exactly going to be an experimental original thing either.

- Comment on Why do all scam extensions hijack the default search engine to Yahoo? 1 week ago:
despite me locking down pretty much everything (he’s on Bluefin)
Maybe Bluefin… isn’t good? I know nothing about it, except that it’s pretty far down the list of search results even when the search term is “bluefin software” specifically, and that the homepage sets of my bullshit detector talking about it being made by “cloud-native enthusiasts.” Maybe it’s “new and up-and-coming” or something, but from my perspective it just looks unpopular.
I haven’t actually used any immutable distros and don’t know whether any of their designs would actually keep a browser extension set ‘immutable,’ but maybe try a more popular one, like NixOS…?
I get frustrated with my parents for being computer-illiterate too, but it’s posts like these that remind me it could be worse: they’re so computer-illiterate that they’re almost scared to use it at all and don’t go messing with stuff like that. FWIW, they’re just on normal Debian and Firefox and so far, it’s been fine.

I love the architectural style and environmental storytelling of Old Aperture.

Given that the primary is over, is there any better alternative?

Why do you hate property rights?
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 3 weeks ago:
Sure you didn’t wait too long before updating so they had to force those updates?
That is some “making excuses for your abuser” shit, right there!
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure I’d call permissive licensing “ideological purity” compared to copyleft.
Frankly, I think BSD loses because corporations are legally allowed to take and never give back.

Stockholm syndrome.
- Comment on Epic Games Launcher preview arrives - Native Linux support, Fortnite for Linux is coming and upgraded Easy Anti-Cheat 3 weeks ago:
WTF, Shadiversity is Jazza’s brother?! 🤯
Also, why is he much criticized by the HEMA community? I’ve watched a few of his videos, but don’t know enough about HEMA to understand what’s bad about them.
(The rest of it I didn’t know… but I’m not surprised.)

The UK is way ahead
That’s why they call it “Airstrip One.”

I’m OOTL on what’s wrong with Shadiversity. Got a link?
- Comment on Fandom won’t allow adblockers 3 weeks ago:
I don’t mean to make light of the bigotry, but the fact that that piece of shit inflicted JavaScript upon the world is reason enough to hate him by itself. He has a proven track record of incompetence and terrible design decisions.
- Comment on "How long is this supposed to TAKE!" ~King Julian 3 weeks ago:
I had a Beelink Me Mini and a half dozen NVMEs in my cart around that time, but didn’t pull the trigger when the price started rising and now I’m kicking myself for it.
- Comment on With Corporate politicians it's never "The Time". 3 weeks ago:
For the record, during the primary and after the election are both definitely “the time.”
- Comment on Tech hobbyists, How are you avoiding the crazy prices for computers and newer tech? 4 weeks ago:
If I had known it was gonna get this bad I would’ve gone for a new motherboard with a 9800X3D and DDR5 in my desktop, instead of keeping my existing one and upgrading to a 5700X3D and 64GB of DDR4. Also, I might have gotten a 7900XTX instead of a 9070XT (they were roughly the same price at the time, but the 7900XTX is double the price now).
I would have pulled the trigger on the minipc NAS I was thinking about, as I literally had it and a bunch of SSDs in my Amazon cart but was waffling about it when the prices started skyrocketing.
I might have even bought one of those “strix halo” PCs with the 128GB of unified memory back when they were $2000 instead of $4000+.
- Comment on Tech hobbyists, How are you avoiding the crazy prices for computers and newer tech? 4 weeks ago:
I tried to do all of my tech purchasing for the foreseeable future shortly after Trump was reelected, based on the assumption that he was going to fuck the economy. Gotta admit I thought the high prices would come from idiotic tariffs instead of idiotic AI, but whatever…

I say they should only be allowed Thrift Savings Plan funds.
- Comment on Turning off new instance applications 4 weeks ago:
I know nothing about this instance. Is there a reason it’s getting targeted in particular, or are all Lemmy instances having the same issue?

Reminds me of Rutherford.
- Comment on LEGO Racers returns and is playable for free on PC now 5 weeks ago:
I guess if you’re doing it as a big middle finger to copyright anyway, it’s fine. It’s when they start calling it “open source” because they published some source code that I have a problem with it, because decompiling doesn’t magically make it stop being proprietary or infringement.
