I’ve been using IRC for going on 30 years now and always love finding new/interesting Servers so I would appreciate a PM with details so I can check it out, thanks!

yeah it doesn’t matter who they elect anymore. Americans are dead to me. How can you trust those idiots when they constantly go back to the right-wing well and then say “sorry about that” after 4 to 8 years only to pull the same shit another 4 or 8 years later.

fuck em. shit hole country full of nazis.

Sarah Khalifa also owns a cosmetic surgery clinic

oof yeah she clearly didn’t hire the best for her clinic.

as someone who is a web dev ALL gov of Canada sites have been infuriating to me for decades. the UX was an after thought I’d I’ve said more than once if I ever find the team or committee or person behind the UX I’d punch them in the throat. And make no mistake most Provinces and Cities aren’t much better. Looking at you City of Toronto. The entire country could do with a design overhaul.

I love comics and many of them I do consider “high art”

the problem is they LITERALLY just have to follow the damn panels. it’s a friggin story board that is written out for them already. but so many writers and movie studios change dumb shit to “dumb it down” for the audience.

Primary example of which is the ending of the Watchmen. it’s a fairly accurate adaptation UNTIL the end and it just spits in the face of the entire point of the damn comic. the ending is SUPPOSED to be ridiculous, it’s SUPPOSED to be unbelievable. but for whatever reason they felt “nah, the audience won’t get it”

This is also why i’m not optimistic about the upcoming Avengers movies. all they have to do is literally just follow the plot of the recent Secret Wars/Battle World comics. that’s it. it’s a good story, it sets up everything for them - future films and all that. but they won’t.

Or the constant retelling of Batman. All you have to do is just follow one of the story arcs of whatever Batman comic. Do a killing joke movie, a hush movie, whatever. I no longer care about MORE versions of Year One.

I like Haiku, i’ve installed it a couple times. An incredibly easy and insanely quick install. If you’re looking for a simple OS to browse the internet and do some light dev work and need it to run on old hardware you honeslty can’t go wrong with it. Out of all the none linux OS’ I was honestly surprised it had Floorp, don’t even have that on any of the BSDs.

ok hear me out: If a user is going to build and compile their own kernel to simply put in a couple cheats for a specific game then…hey let them cheat. I HIGHLY doubt your average cheater is going to go through all that to cheat in like arc raiders or something.

I just don’t see hundreds or even thousands of players doing this. Not enough anyways to ruin the online experience for others.

could it look close? eh maybe. the visual customization of it is still kinda limited. like if you’re looking to have the same customization levels of say Plasmashell you’re out of luck. If you’re ok with the “pill” look then it’s fine but beyond that you couldn’t make it look like say DWM’s bar or what have you. But I suppose if you wanted it to look like cosmic or maybe gnome it’d be more doable since they all kinda share the same principal of “pills are a great look”

As far as if it’ll play nice with GNOME? no clue. I’ve used it with Kwin in the past as a replacement for Plasmashell and it worked fairly well.

you don’t use Noctalia alongside plasmashell, it just works alongside Kwin so I’m assuming that’s what OP meant. Noctalia just replaces your plasmashell.

“The beatings will continue until morale improves”

I do volunteer work in Toronto and within the past couple years that absolute massive increase in homeless seniors, middle-aged women, etc is staggering. Never before have I seen so many women in their 50s and older being homeless. never. So many older men also. And the problem is the system can’t cater to them because it’s never had to before. And these people are so damn exposed.

I said years ago that the homeless population was going to change and we’re seeing it now. The days of everyone saying “oh it’s just drug addicts and mentally ill people who are homeless” are long gone. I see it every week in food lines and clothing hand outs. the vast majority now are seniors, middle-aged people who lost their jobs, mentally fit individuals that are financially screwed. and the terrifying thing is people forget that drug use and mental illness are a symptom of homelessness. I’m seeing men in their 70s turning to drug use to cope. NEVER have I seen that before.

we’re screwed. we are collectively straight up screwed.

His original claim to fame was building a gaming website in the early 00s utilizing some really poorly written php. a friend then asked him to essentially build basecamp because said friend didn’t know any better and DHH was the only person that kinda sorta knew what he was doing. he got lucky with ruby on rails (what he used to build basecamp) cause his previous stuff was really bad.

neat. wait a week and they’ll pop up again.

If the US tried it Canada would make Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc look like a casual sunday stroll in the park. If the US couldn’t handle Guerrilla warfare against people who DON’T look like them, imagine how well they’ll do against people that do. And the further north they got the more fucked they’d be. Ever been in a fight with a pissed off Indigenous individual? try it, see how far you get. Not only that you got all the dudes living in the bush with rifles and god knows what else.

they’ve been doing this for a while. just look at one of the many canadian financial subs, it’s friggin crazy town. Hell it goes beyond just the financial subs, many Canadian subreddits are also insanely manipulated by outside interests. /r/Toronto is notorious for it. ANYTHING that could potentially make the city look bad is quickly removed. But post as many photos of rainbows, the cn tower, snow and rain as you like. It’s an absolute joke that you can’t even have a discussion about the city because it will be removed if there’s even the slightest hint of making Toronto look bad.

if what happened in Nepal wasn’t a wake up call after…christ on a cracker…god knows how many wake up calls we’ve had no then we’re just fucked and regulated to our fate.

We the “peons” want it but the powers that be look down on us and whisper “no.”

every now and then I like going through and reading Linus’ commit messages for uemacs. It’s impressive that he’s still maintaining that thing on a near weekly basis.

Also he writes some of the longest commit messages known to man to the point where i’m like “I didn’t know you could write them that long”

It’s nice that people are finally starting to write about what a coke fuelled POS DHH is. People within the Ruby community have known this for years. the fact that he is where he is because of some truly horrible PHP is mind boggling.

It’s not a foundation. It COULD HAVE been one but in typical coke fuelled ranting DHH fashion he blogged about how the money would go towards marketing thus, womp womp, no tax exempt foundation for you buddy.
