This is a new image/meme for me and I like it. The hand gesture gives it a little bit of a "witches vs patriarchy" vibe too. I don't know if that means more or less coming from a random old cishet dude, lol.

Dang, were they actually going into an artery there, or was it just a large opening or you were also on blood thinners or something?

I get an IV every month and they always use a vein, and any bleeding is just a tiny ooze. But I'm holed up for a matter of hours, not days+ as with a hospital stay.

Anybody having config issues on their high end machines with super fast on-die unified memory are going to be the new "waaah, my Ferrari has a flat tire" gang, lol.

I'm a human being and I'm pretty sure I am already not allowed to give legal or medical advice to anybody in new york or any other state.

Prior art: I remember a long time ago seeing a video of a Barney (as in purple dinosaur) video game for little kids that would just start playing itself if you didn't touch the controller for a while. It was a side scroller, probably NES/SNES/Genesis.

My version of this, and I bet I'm not alone here is more like

Windows -> Linux Mint -> Debian

I could see them doing fine losing those features if it meant the hardware was compact, light, and cheap. But doing it on giant $1000 phones is not going to do them any favors with the lemmy crowd like I said.

My main original Skyrim play through on desktop was 100 hours.

My Skyrim VR play through was 200 hours. I think in 2019. So fun.

Yeah now it's "will it speedrun DOOM?"

I recently had a similar experience. I used Linux Mint for the longest time, which is ubuntu based. And I tried LMDE for a little bit recently.

But then I decided to try straight Debian 13 w/ KDE Plasma. I absolutely love it, and I'm old enough that seeing

starting Debian GNU/Linux

just feels cozy and correct. Plus like you said the speed and stability are somehow even better, but that I had issues before.

I thought with them it was more about the entire device than just the OS. People might say they love their mac but nobody is telling friends & family to just install macOS on that old PC that's losing Microsoft support.

Oh I agree. The documents should get dumped in full and we should treat the survivors with the grace and generosity they deserve.

Then maybe we think of some ways to stop putting greedy psychopaths into positions of power!

Our culture is completely on board with ruining both of these ideas, though.

I can’t get enough of these familiar spacefaring faces!

 

Making my first Lemmy post because this moment in my DS9 rewatch made me think of you all.

I think I’ll call her Captain Gilora Lochley.

Also, DS9 is even better than I remember. It’s been a while!
