Thanks for this! Might come in handy for missing metadata from “alternative” sources!

Well, I was an Amiga user.

Based. But on a serious note, what machine did you have/use? Could you install Linux on the classic Amiga machines? I’ve always thought about buying an Amiga 1200.

Libre Office.

Link to that petition mentioned in that post.

Is this actually illegal in the US? If so, where is it legal? There’s British comedy series called Black Books where the protagonist ran a bookstore on the first floor and lived on the second floor. My wife and I have always thought about opening a coffeeshop/bookstore hybrid and live right above it, partially inspired by this.

While do find myself using Lemmy a little too much, because of the lack of time-wasting and dopamime-hitting algorithms, I find less incentive to spend more time on Lemmy and other Fediverse socials.

Because AI is going to fuck us in the ass with no protection.

From the article:

The commerce secretary added on X that he and Treasury secretary Scott Bessent “sat with the President while he wrote one of the most extraordinary Truth posts of his Presidency”

Next time I’m feeling down, I’ll just remember that someone felt the need to post on Xitter that he helped Trump write down his best posts on some shit social.

I immediately thought of this tune for some reason.

While it sucks that FOSS projects will have their funding sapped, let’s remember why the open source model is used in the first place: it can’t be bought. If it goes down, someone will just fork the last known repository and have it up and running again.

Yes, Nintendo! Please paywall my nostalgia of the very first game console I ever played! Charge me an exorbitant price during an economic crisis to satisfy my childlike need to regress to a time before I understood what money was!

Probably not the best advice considering the current economic situation but you could cut your losses and restart on Steam. Buy the games there and your kids can probably still do what they did on Xbox. You probably already know this but Steam has a Big Picture Mode which makes it more controller friendly and nicer for large TV displays. Keep a keyboard and mouse handy for when things need technical support.

Wait, you can’t make circles in GIMP? This has to be false. If my memory serves me well, I remember using GIMP for a school project back in the day and I’m pretty sure it could make circle.

A bit hopeless but trying to keep it together in spite of all the socio-political problems.

The bravery of this women to speak up against injustice! No doubt she is going to “face consequences” for this disruption. Let’s wish her the best.

Salam Alaykum Ibtiahl Aboussad!

That did the trick. Thanks! Now I feel stupid for posting this.

My mirror must be permanently down because I’ve attempted to install cmake several times over the past three days. How do I go about switching it?

Massive congratulations to Europol and its partners in taking this shit down and putting these perverts away. However, they shouldn’t rest on their laurels. The objective now is to ensure that the distribution of this disgusting material is stopped outright and that no further children are harmed.

With that logic, I might as well throw away my computer and phone and go full Uncle Ted.

Forget about growth. Forget investors. Forget about all those capitalist nonsense. What good are profits if everything goes to shit? The best thing about Lemmy is that it doesn’t give a shit about that. It’s decentralized and community driven. Capitalism prioritizes money not people.
