Great info, thanks! That makes two mentions of Pop_OS so I guess I’ll give that a try first.

Oh definitely a meme, and a heavily recycled one at that :)

Yes, that’s a good point, I think the thunderbolt out only works on the iGPU, so I’m assuming that to get dual external monitors (HDMI and usb-c) the bare metal OS (Linux) will have to be running at least the iGPU.

I guess that also begs the question: X or Wayland in this scenario?

Miyamoto’s favorite Mario game is SMB2, so…

We have these at airports in the US for luggage carts - though they don’t return any of your money if you bring the cart back they l’ve seen, so it doesn’t do much to modify behavior.

He’s not wrong…

Freaking people who leave their carts in a parking spot… Straight to the top of the list!

As !datahoarders@lemmy.ml will tell you the only approach is to back it up before it’s removed.

I was about to type something very similar, but switching words. “Wealthy” to me implies having enough wealth to not really worry. “Rich” makes me think of Lamborghinis and yachts and mountains of cocaine.

Bonus: the photo was taken with a film camera and the graininess is from all the radiation.

It might be old and slow, but I love RS-232. It works on every platform, you can write a client or server in just about any programming language in a handful of lines (and understand what they all do). I’ve literally made working RS-232 connections with paperclips and scotch tape. After the corpo wars when we’re all computing on salvaged tech you’ll come to appreciate it.

Just have kids of your own. Then suddenly you’re consumed by their baby->childhood->high school->college playthroughs, which can keep you from staring into the void for another 20-30 years.

The Lemmy Gentle Whisper

The holy trinity of the Christmas season - Saturnalia, Yule, and the Coca-Cola version Santa Claus

Mostly you either went without knowing stuff, or you had to go to the library. I knew a couple of wealthy folks who had their own sets of encyclopedia at home which could cost thousands of dollars.

During lockdown I was jogging my usual route and passed someone walking in full plague doctor getup. Thinking “that’s kinda odd” I turned the corner and almost ran into a lady rollerskating backward entirely in the nude. I live in Florida and see weird shit somewhat frequently but that particular run stands out in my mind.

Toothbrush. In one hand it scrubs food and gunk away and helps distribute fluoride toothpaste around. On the other it’s made of tiny plastic bristles that are probably disintegrating when in your mouth and growing a fun ecosystem when out of it.

Public speaking. I’ve seen surveys where more people are afraid of speaking in front of an audience than they are of dying, which is utterly insane. For the vast, vast majority of scenarios where you might find yourself speaking to a group of people, the risk level is very low. Likewise, in the vast majority of cases, few people are likely to remember much about your performance. It’s just talking.

I wonder if this matrix app was just a honeypot that was named to trick people into thinking they were using the “real” matrix.
