I mean there is already a Chinese adaptation

Yeah, I don’t love how the publishing industry has to start the hype thing so darn early!

Reminds me of the movie Lord of War with Nicholas Cage. Ukraine has a history of disappearing weapons going back to the fall of the Soviet Union. It’s a hard culture to reverse quickly.

Ironically Crimea is where weapons like the machine gun that came to dominate the 20th century were first used in scale prior to WW1. It’s one of the world’s weapons testing grounds.

That upgrade from stepsister to stepmom.

They prefer North American in my experience, if not simply Canadian.

Press the up arrow over and over until you find the command. This is they way!

I find it helpful to translate medical abbreviations to English. Our doctors tend to go overboard with abbreviations, there are lots I know but there are always a few that leave me scratching my head. ChatGPT seems really good at guessing what they mean! There are other tools I can use, but ChatGPT is faster and more convenient - I can give it context and that makes it more accurate.

And there are physical therapists who do acupuncture strictly for muscle release without all of the chi stuff.

On Lemmy, I sure use it a ton between different Lemmy instances and KBin! On Mastodon I only use it to communicate across Mastodon instances really, but neither service would be the same without the ability to see posts from other instances.

That is what made this whole .ml problem. Some people have apparently accidentally leaked American state secrets to Mali by typo.

I thought everyone had a SFW account and a NSFW account…

I watch Linus from time to time, but don’t get that sort of recommendation (unless I watch some gun videos!). I only watch his tech stuff and don’t know anything about his politics. Now I’m worried.

There is this remote cabin in the woods belonging to my parents I used to visit frequently, mostly in the summer. I had a chest fridge hooked up to a basic solar panel system I built. One July while visiting I had fully stocked the fridge with food, when I had issues with the solar panel batteries and I couldn’t keep the fridge powered on. I kept putting off cleaning it for the rest of the summer, and then the winter too. Next summer I finally worked up the nerve. Everything, even the cardboard packaging had melted into this brown sludge full of many generations of maggots and flies. The only things semi recognizable was the plastic containers. It took me days and so much bleach to clean it well enough to trust using it again. If it wasn’t such a pain to get out there in the first place I’d have probably tossed the whole thing, but I’m cheap. Still have it, though I don’t get out there much anymore. If my battery dies again I’m throwing everything out right away!

I used to use Arch, but grew tired of having to tinker with stuff and most everything I do is on the browser anyways. For the other stuff I have all of my Linux programs still and Android apps and that feels like enough to me. Not limited at all really, but I don’t play any modern games or anything.

Wow, am I the only ChromeOS user here? That surprises me

And now it’s on Lemmy. We must go deeper!

Normal, no, but I’ve been seeing lots of reports of sync issues with both Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world. I think both are a bit overloaded and Lemmy.world is still running an older instance of the software too - for now. There definitely seem to be bugs.
