That's exactly how I'm feeling right now.
Something very similar happens to me in some Windows games on Mint with Cinnamon, especially older games running using Proton. I've had it happen recently with Age of Mythology and Fallout New Vegas.
Unfortunately, I don't have the answer for you, but I can tell you you're not alone.
Yay, a time travel episode.
Also, thespec.com has some very obnoxious javascript going on.
Know people that worked with him, can confirm.
"Move fast and break things" Startup mindset is dangerous when taking your customers into potentially hostile environments. If only Michael Crichton had warned us about that decades ago.
Now Lt. Warf, Tasha and I jump out of the targ, taking them totally by surprise!
I knew that.
They also thrive on incest, and love to breed with their own parents and siblings.
Bedbugs are already just super gross, but the more you learn about their biology the more gross they become.
Because Lemmy is like social media and Matrix is like Slack and Discord and they both followed the conventions of their predecessors. You're welcome to go take it up with the devs on Lemmy.ml.
Every fricken' time. Someone posts that they want something specific and everybody dog piles into the conversation to recommend a bunch of the stuff that ALWAYS gets recommended, but that doesn't really have anything in common with what the poster asked for, and are even stuff they straight up said they already read.
There's not much out there like Murder Bot, though IMO it owes something to the Stainless Steel Rat. If you liked the humor, you might like Expeditionary Force (the Skippies from Bobiverse are named after an absurd AI character from ExForce). Craig Alanson's, let's call them "old fashioned" feelings about gender are on FULL display (which I find off putting, but I can look past it), but the books are hella funny.
I also just the Jinn Bot of Shantiport, which is a fun take on the Aladdin story (if Aladdin was a hot girl and the genie was an old bot from an era with better tech, so its basic hacking skills make it a god). The writing style is very different, but it's also fun, funny and has goofy AIs.
It doesn't seem fair to me that mothers have two special days in the year and fathers only have one.
Neither my wife or my ex (my son's mom) thought this joke was funny.
But my son laughed at it.
Oh yes, the guy who gave us the line " A father and his daughter got onto a starship, a husband and his wife got off." I
I mean, he has been writing sci-fi since the '80s. But if you go back and read some of his earlier stuff, he really hasn't grown much as a writer. In fact, I think he kind of peaked in the '90s with the original Thrawn cycle (and the Icarus Hunt and the Conquerors trilogy). Most of what he's written since then has been formulaic rehashes of his glory days (sequels to the Cobra books, sequels to the Icarus Hunt, prequels to the Thrawn books).
