I used to think this way, then it was pointed out to me that, without timezones, we’d be in a situation where Saturday starts mid-workday in some places.

Oooh, I get to say an “Umm… Actually” fact. File names are not case sensitive in Linux nor are they case insensitive in Windows.

It’s entirely possible to have a case insensitive filesystem on Linux (I think ext4 supports a mount option for it now). Likewise, there’s a bit you can set on folders in Windows that makes its contents case sensitive. So realistically, case sensitivity is a property of the folder, not the OS.

Yes, that’s as annoying as it sounds.

But… Uncle Sam said drugs weren’t cool!

On a more serious note, my views are if it doesn’t hurt anyone else and you fully understand the implications and consequences, you should be allowed to take whatever you like.

I’m terms of mental illness, I’m leaning towards drug addiction being a result of it rather than a cause. If someone is facing depression and doesn’t have the support they need, they may turn to drugs as their only option.

Tabaxi.

I think the onboarding and new user experience for Mint could be better, but I think there’s one important thing that I think makes Mint a good intro distro: Its Ubuntu base.

If you look up guides for “linux” it usually gives instructions for Ubuntu, which usually also apply to Mint. Likewise, if you look for software downloads you tend to find Ubuntu debs.

I know flatpak fixes these issues to an extent, but I think we’re not there yet.

If you’re serious about getting help from the community, open source the game and/or provide concrete questions on what code you want to improve.

Technically that would mean that one copy of the file is no longer updated when the other is.

You should consider using ln bkp.tar.gz bkp2.tar.gz instead.

Basically, “furries” are animal people like in Disney’s Robin Hood and Zootopia, and the fans of those creatures. There’s some sfw art at [email protected] if you want to see. Humans in media are boring. :P

Personally, I’ve seen it to be a very open, accepting and welcoming community. So I guess I romanticise being with a group of like minded people, which is something I’ve felt lacking in my life.

… Annoyingly, due to its history as an lgbt-friendly splinter group, it’s who a lot of the bigots started targeting when it became socially unacceptable to be honophobic online. Grumble grumble.

This isn’t the most glamorous or exciting thing, but I want to go to a furry convention sometime.

… I’m really typecasting myself here on Lemmy, aren’t I?

Proton isn’t designed to be a security layer and afaik doesn’t go out of its way to sandbox applications. I’d expect a lot of viruses will fail to do anything, but there’ll also be some able to do things like steal your browser or discord passwords.

There’s no reason to risk it; don’t run anything in Proton that you don’t feel safe running on Windows.

“Protests” like this are the “it was just a prank bro” of activism.

I have three things I want to see in a fictional world (either mine or someone else’s):

• Furries, but not in a weird “metaphor for racism” way.
• A nice sophisticated magic system.
• Either a mideaval fantasy or spacefaring sci-fi setting.

The current idea rattling in my head is for a game which will likely never get finished. A spaceship with a small crew gets blown off close while travelling at warp speed or whatever. The heroes need to visit a bunch of planets (and learn secrets within) to find… Elemental crystals or something, I guess, to make their way home. Not sure how I can incorporate magic into it though, or if that would just be scope creep.

All previously played moves get played again.

I like flatpaks and flathub, but this is just something they do badly. I think as well they also have “probably safe” which is just as unhelpful… And what does “access certain files and folders” even mean!?

I think they should just follow the example of every other app store; list the permissions in an easily understandable list and let the user decide whether or not they are comfortable with it.

The best sexy times are ones where you both have to stop because you’re laughing too hard at something.

All lgbt flags are terrible because they don’t follow the rules of tincture. /s

But seriously though, I think the trans flag is good. It has a nice amount of contrast and the colours compliment each other well. Other flags seem to have the problem of not enough contrast (like the bi flag) are too noisy (the main rainbow one) or the colours don’t mesh well together (polyamorous). All my personal subjective opinion though!

Although it could just be because I’ve seen the trans flag a lot more than the others (which is fair; trans rights are super important right now).

Doomscrolling.

Very badly.

I have never wanted to play a game so hard in my life. It seems to have the atmosphere of Inscryption, the gameplay of Papers Please and a lot of buttons and knobs to mess around with.

Video games for a time had warnings saying people should take breaks every hour or so. That would go much farther than some weird nebulous warning that social media is “bad for you”.
