Sometimes taxis wouldn’t pick up certain people because of how they look

Unfortunately, at least in the US, Uber is just as bad. I’ve got a friend who’s blind and has a service dog - Uber drivers legally can’t decline a ride because he’s got a service dog, but very frequently they’d pull up, see the dog, and cancel the ride. Taxis are more likely to know and follow the law.

Gubbins is a fun word game, it’s a one time purchase and apparently part of the profits go to charity due to Hank Green investing in it in a creative way.

I’ve never had the opportunity to go to Playalinda, but I do really miss Paradise Beach before the tourists found out about it.

I wasn’t able to find one. Which, if anyone saw my shitpost, is the real reason I installed it on my crapbook. I found out that the installer is pretty great, it just worked out of the box (at least on that computer, my gaming machine has an Nvidia graphics card…), and that GMOME isn’t really for me.

COSMIC looks awesome in screenshots though.

I’ve heard that the brand new Nvidia 555 drivers actually work with Wayland. I was ready to switch my gaming laptop to Linux but I may wait a few weeks for the driver to release out of beta. (Arch users shut up, lol.)

In general, I agree with you. But specifically Isaac Newton? The only thing his dick might have been in was a coconut.

Hyfetch

No, sadly, it shipped with windows 8.1. Chrome OS would have at least made sense.

I mentioned this elsewhere but this hyfetch isn’t actually fair to the crapbook. I had Firefox open as well, with Lemmy as the only open tab (so it’s totally usable, who needs to do anything other than post on Lemmy?). It was actually 1.03 Gb ram consumption on the terminal after closing Firefox.

Glados the crapbook is now running bunsenlabs and it’s sitting at 745M on the desktop according to conky.

Nah, I actually really liked bunsenlabs when I tried running it live, so I’m going to install that, at least for a bit. I might try a different DE with Debian, XFCE was fine but not amazing.

It’s Bazzite on wildly impractical hardware. I had the installer on my ventoy USB and decided to try and install it on my crapbook for shits and giggles.

No, it doesn’t run well. But to be fair, I also had Firefox open on another desktop with the only open tab being Lemmy.

I once saw a webcomic many years ago with a straight couple in kink gear in front of a computer, and the guy was saying something like “You’ve been a bad girl, I’m installing Windows ME on your computer.”

I tried searching for it, but I can’t find it. :/

I have played quidditch, with the broom.

I spent more time trying not to trip over said broom than actually playing. And I’m somewhat athletic. It wasn’t great.

I think your tech suggestion is neat. I think your hope of a thriving Cleveland community on Lemmy is a bit too ambitious at the moment. I’m slightly active in the Minnesota and Twin Cities communities on here, but… they’re pretty quiet communities. The problem you run into is that most users on social media sites like this don’t post. Or they only comment. You need enough people to post so it’s not just one or two people feeling like they’re yelling into a void. The Twin Cities may be slightly smaller than Cleveland, but we’re actually interesting, lol.

Wait, how is this the first time I’ve seen Gadget Hackwrench mentioned on Lemmy? Like half the people on here are furries.

Public, profit-motivated veneers of support are at least not public displays of homophobia.

Have you seen Target’s pride month collection this year? I’d say that it counts as a public display of homophobia, it’s so bad. (Also they aren’t crediting their few artists this year.)

Give the goofy little dude a treat!

There’s a way to turn off the beep entirely on most microwaves. I don’t remember which button it is and I’m not going to look it up right now.

I turned it off on my microwave and one of my roommates promptly turned it back on. D:
