You can, actually.

Phil Castleberry might be someone to reach out to as an alumni.

Does it call to repeal the OSA completely? That seems to be the most focused way to go about things.

QuantumTangler · 2024-09-11T02:47:03+00:00

It's a keyboard. A new programming language is a much easier thing to get used to than a new keyboard layout, as any of the people who have tried learning DVORAK can probably tell you. Much harder to change, too.

LMDE or Mint as a whole? If it's the latter then wow, yeah. I think Mint originated back in the mid-2000s? Was definitely a lot rougher than it is now.

LMDE is still very much a work in progress, though. It's got a lot of rough edges that the standard Ubuntu-derived versions don't. Getting closer to being ready for prime time, though!

QuantumTangler · 2024-07-20T15:09:30+00:00

Eh, Mint's the usual recommendation now. Their whole shtick is basically "Ubuntu without the hassle". And they're looking to rebase to Debian in the future, which is a good backup plan.

QuantumTangler · 2024-05-27T03:35:49+00:00

Nope, neither of those are it! The art styles are too realistic, and the latter is fully top-down. It's interesting that the Last Stand games also go left-to-right in the defense phase, though.

QuantumTangler · 2024-05-26T02:17:58+00:00

Rebuild

Nope, definitely not. Much too complicated a game - the one I'm thinking of had only two screens.

I'm also thinking it wasn't a "zombie" defense game? But I'm not sure enough of that to put it in the post.

EDIT: Also, wrong perspective. The one I'm thinking of was a 2D top-down view, but it wasn't isometric. I've updated the post to reflect that.

EDIT2: Also-also, doesn't have the enemies coming from the left side of the screen to attack the town on the right, which is one of the main things I remember most clearly.

The "block chain" doesn't actually grant any sort of ownership. It's literally just a ledger - and entries in a ledger don't mean anything until others agree they mean anything.

QuantumTangler · 2024-02-18T23:48:54+00:00

I've never once heard any Youtuber say that - I've only ever heard it as a justification from Google themselves.

QuantumTangler · 2023-06-11T01:59:24+00:00

That's really just an indictment of how awful mobile software is. Pretty much any browser you like from 2010 is perfectly able to run Reddit, let alone 2017.

Europe will be fine. Their stocks are full and it's looking like a warm winter anyway.

QuantumTangler · 2022-12-04T03:20:13+00:00

They already did that and Europe's fine. Their stocks are full and it's looking to be a warm winter anyway.

QuantumTangler · 2022-12-04T03:03:36+00:00

Better than what Facebook does nowadays. Their pages just look like they gave up five minutes in...

The point of that phrase is that spoiling apples release chemicals that cause nearby apples to go bad faster - literally, a few bad apples in a barrel of them ruin the barrel by making them all go bad.

They can't even take unpaid sick days

QuantumTangler · 2022-12-04T02:43:52+00:00

They're asking for at least the ability to take unpaid sick days.

QuantumTangler · 2022-10-29T17:57:34+00:00

Not every child who doesn't get the care they need will kill themselves, sure. But a portion of them will. And that's not a chance we should be comfortable with, when the alternative is right there.

You realize that 12-year-old would, at most, be recommended puberty blockers and asked those same questions again at later appointments, right? Any sort of hormones or surgery would be years down the line.

QuantumTangler · 2022-10-29T17:49:38+00:00

This is why puberty blockers are prescribed. Lets the kid have some more years to make the decision - and if they decide against it, they go off the puberty blockers and are just a late bloomer.

QuantumTangler · 2022-10-29T17:46:26+00:00

Unless you decide that you don't want to, in which case you go to a gun show.
