"Alright, now that I'm logged in to my cloud terminal account, let me enter my root password for sudo."

In the early 2010s, Cape Girardeau, MO was chosen as a location for some of the filming of Gone Girl. I lived there and it was the talk of the town. People were running into Ben Affleck at the local Andy's and shit.

Meanwhile they put out a casting call for extras. I didn't care about it but of course my girlfriend and her cousin went psycho about it and signed us up. We waited in line with at least a thousand other people only to finally get up there, and all they did was take a headshot and send us on our way. The girls were all disappointed that there wasn't anything else to it while I the introvert just laughed about it.

Until I was the one they called back. Not only that, but it turns out they picked me to be a stand-in for Boyd Holbrook. I spent a week hanging out on David Fincher's set, occasionally doing work while trying to avoid getting in trouble for doing things like accidentally sitting in Rosamund Pike's chair. Then one of the assistant directors' mother died and he had to leave, so they "promoted" me to production assistant. At one point I was sent to look for and found David Fincher's missing iPhone.

Fucking surreal man. But I've got the 20th Century Fox W-2s to prove it.

I still wonder why console players allowed their online services to require subscriptions in the first place.

And he makes himself right at home.

I have two nieces who get bullied at school about different things. One so bad that she is switching to online-only for the next school year.

Anti-bullying my fuckin ass. Schools aren't doing shit other than waving some flags around.

McCain is one of the old guard Republicans that went down fighting. His final vote thumbs down for the repeal of the ACA was legendary. I didn't vote for him but I do have great respect for him.

Contrast that against all the limp dicks who are silently retiring instead of speaking out and trying to right the ship.

He's gonna be pissed when he finds out how many current citizens also don't like "our" religion.

NASA already killed god in 2011

A software developer's worst nightmare. "When I turn logging on the problem goes away."

Now this is defederation I can get behind.

I don't know the difference between a terminal and a terminal emulator, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Lately using Foot since that's what my distro shipped with.

This happened the year before I moved to the school, but at the beginning of the new school year I heard a lot of whispers about it and once saw a teacher shut down a conversation amongst a group of students about it.

So only ever hearing this third hand, it went something like this: a group of jocks abducted one of their friends after school one day. They took him out to someone's farm land blind folded, tied him up in a tree (or on a cross) and terrorized him by doing crazy shit like running a chainsaw close between his legs.

The kid they did this too immediately became an outcast skater punk who played in the local metal band. I got to know him a little bit through my girlfriend at the time and he was really cool. I have no idea why they did that too him. I don't know what, it any, punishment was handed down to the perpetrators. I know the school district wanted to expel them but it didn't happen during school.

It was common that year for kids from the neighboring town to drive by and yell stuff like "HEY LET'S GO CRUCIFY ONE OF OUR OWN PLAYERS!"

I also got reprimanded by a teacher for joking about kidnapping a friend of mine in order to force him to pay back the various $5 he had borrowed from everyone in our friend group. It was 100% a joke of course but I didn't realize what poor taste it was at the time.

Hyprland DE is the new hotness

I think the plane fell out a window

It's got to be on a spreadsheet somewhere, but whoever's got it isn't showing it to us.

Lol

Garuda Hyprland edition. All the neon-RGB styling of Garuda gamer on top of Hyprland's smooth UI.

Cringe. But yes, let's please continue migrating responsibility for child safety from parents to the government and megacorps.

I'll do my part to welcome anyone who joins here, but there are plenty of knuckleheads on reddit who will give you shit for having any kind of principles that take a long term view or make life anything other than blissfully convenient. I have no motivation to try to convince those people.

Checkmate

Guys, IT ISN'T A REFERENCE TO THE BOOMER GENERATION. It's boomer as in shotgun-go-BOOM.

the last thing we want to see is an 80-year-old former president sitting in jail

I don't know, this actually might be the first thing I want to see.

I think the feature has been disabled in the latest versions of Discord. There are other site threads about it speculating that they are "testing something." Testing being a shittier app, maybe.

Hmm, do I want to open some external site/program to see my documentation or have it already in the code in front of me?

We use doxygen at my company and I think I've only ever opened it twice in 9 years.

They want that 50 mile radius salary market. Competing with the entire country is expensive.

No. My hard drive still has 1.21 more jigabytes of free space available for more memes.

Post-Helldivers, every Sony game will now explicitly announce the Playstation account requirement.

Carbon? Just what we were all hoping for, yet another programming language from Google. They can keep it.

TBF they could have bought it before we knew he was crazy.

Did you guys read all the fucking corpo speak in that message? Christ.

I bought the Steam release day 1 and it has worked great with Proton. I played a couple forts and had my fill. Now that the Linux version is out I might have to run another fort on it and see how it works.

Agreed, Phillips needs to get Thanos'd.

My entire family has switched back to hotels with no regrets. We've all separately had bad experiences with Airbnb and realized hotels would never get away with that shit.

Also, unmentioned in the article is the topic of how Airbnb has contributed to the destruction of the single family home ownership market.

Ugh, I was looking forward to replacing Thunderbird/Bridge, but never mind.

A new cube user in 2024. Checkmate, atheists.

I love all the people still expressing anger about 3PA. Yet there they are still posting.

I just started using this and am still in the trial period but I will definitely be paying for it when my 100 free searches are gone. So many top results are exactly what I'm looking for. I can't believe my expectations have been conditioned to the point where this surprises me...

Mother of God....

I've never been polled. Fuck a poll.

One is too many confirmed

Honestly that little reboot icon in the sys tray is sort of like a loaded gun pointed at me
