Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•FlatEarthers will work around itEnglish
7·2 months agoOh man, it sounds like I missed a whole thing. Do you perchance have a link?
EDIT: Ok, found it. A bunch of flat-earther influencers apparently travelled to Antarctica to prove that there is no midnight sun there (since its existence would contradict their belief), found that there is in fact a midnight sun in Antarctica, were then accused by other flat-earthers of having fakes the whole thing. Brilliant.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If sexuality is a spectrum, does that mean one person is the gayest?
3·2 months agoGod I sure hope so. This is the only life I’ve got.

331·2 months agoOnly if you think someone’s position on the spectrum never changes over time. Which, judging from the microsecond moment of pause induced in “straights” by the proximity of shirtless Jason Momoa, is not how this works.
Mint is just perfectly fine, don’t listen to the naysayers.
As the old observation goes, novices use something like Mint because it’s there, and it works; intermediate users use something like Arch because they want the control to tweak things in the greatest depths; experts use something like Mint because it’s there, and it works.
Nah, that’s valid. I loved it to bits, myself, but what made me love it was how adroitly I felt it curated feelings of dread and sincere awe as I explored deeper and deeper; and that’s highly subjective. I hope you’re finding as much joy in your own fave games as I did in Subnautica!

Linux@programming.dev•systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success
91·5 months agoCan you give me a link to that documenation and tooling?
Linux daemons and utilities typically come with manuals that get installed alongside the software. There’s a command line tool, aptly called
man, that can be used to search and display these manuals. So for instance,man resolvectldisplays the manual for the command line utility that you can use to control, configure, monitor and debug thesystemd-resolveddaemon. (Although I usually look up the man page online because it’s more convenient to scroll through than in a terminal.) Man pages for a given daemon will typically mention near the bottom related man pages for e.g. control utilities likeresolvectl, so it’s not necessary to remember it by heart.a week later they all have different configurations.
I’m trying to remember any situation where one of the systemd components would change its configuration on its own, but I’m coming up blank. It may be my memory failing me, but possibly that’s the wrong tree to bark up?

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy?
41·5 months agoSee my answer above for my personal take on this. TotK is a bigger, longer game with far more things to do, but in filling the delicate emptiness that’s at the heart of BotW, they also made TotK… mundane. Greater, by most metrics. But mundane.
When I played TotK, I enjoyed myself a lot, then moved on to the next item on my pile.
When I played BotW, I experienced something unique, and it stuck with me since.
EDIT: Folks, maybe don’t downvote OP just because you disagree with them? They opened an interesting discussion and I for one am glad for it.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy?
41·5 months agoThen I’d pick BotW.
Like another poster said, BotW is a once in a lifetime experience, and somehow strikes a kind of beautiful perfection even as, oddly, TotK is mechanically better in most respects.
BotW achieves something unique by dropping you in what’s left of Hyrule a century after Hyrule was defeated. And it’s a wilderness that could have been desolate, but it’s not: it’s beautiful. Things are growing back, despite everything. Wildlife, but settlements, also. It’s all sparse, this renewal, and there’s so much woe yet to fight. But it’s there. And the mood is both mournful, and quietly hopeful in a way I find comforting and deeply healthy.
BotW is built around a core of emptiness, but that emptiness is not a void: there are countless secrets and little wonders to unearth everywhere, everywhere. Sometimes it’s a treasure, or a trace from the past. Sometimes it’s the shapes that rain drops draw on wet moss. There’s wonder everywhere, just a wander away. BotK understands this, and elevates the wandering.
Where TotK is full of activities and minigames and quests everywhere, so you’re never at a loss for what to do next, and it’s by all measures a richer, bigger, fuller game. But it’s also, squarely, a lesser experience.
Of the two I’d pick BotW in an eyeblink and it’s not even close.
But that’s my answer, not yours. Only you know what you’re looking for in a video game.
Yay Sandy news! And I hope your surgery will go well and that you’ll receive fast.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm getting "Error setting installer parameters" while attempting to set up a new VM in Virtual Machine Manager [SOLVED]
1·5 months agoWOW, yes, your problem is almost certainly Flatpak-related. I’m surprised you even got as far as you did. Flatpak is often great but does not tend to play well with applications that need less common capabilities.
I’d recommend installing VMM in a different way if that’s an option for you; I expect that will likely make your problem go away.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm getting "Error setting installer parameters" while attempting to set up a new VM in Virtual Machine Manager [SOLVED]
2·5 months agoWell, what are the permissions of /run/usr/1000/doc/c0a3c3fc and what user are you running VMM as?
Is your pigeons’ threatspin routine like, 360 spin one way then 360 spin the other way then charge? That’s what I’ve observed most often. You can tell how pissed the pigeon is by the speed of the spin too.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Watchword gives the Balatro treatment to an anagram word gameEnglish
4·6 months agoAlso check out Wordatro (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3140120/Wordatro/)! It’s well made and quite addictive.

15·6 months agoI am emotionally invested in Sandy.
I am in mad love with this Darmok-ass comment.
Chat, I don’t feel this guy gets it.

(By which I mean, of course you could, same as you could replace any pronoun with one or several nouns, that being the entire deal with pro-nouns. We could but pronouns save us from having to do that.)
My fav neopronoun by far:
