I kinda like using Doctorow for this:

• Similar facial expression
• Works with the EFF
• Cool shades

It’s wilder when it works in the installer, but not on first boot.

I think a reasonable quorum already said this, but NFS is still good. My only complaint is it isn’t quite as user-mountable as some other systems.

So…I know you said no SAMBA, but SAMBA 4 really isn’t bad any more. At least, not nearly as shit as it was.

If you want a easily mountable filesystem for users (e.g. network discovery/etc.) it’s pretty tolerable.

• Zephirelli’s Romeo and Juliet (mentioned many times in thread, this is the very porn-y version from the 60s that really shouldn’t be)
• Amadeus
• a teacher in high school lent me a copy of Last of the Dogmen, which, in retrospect, he should not have done

I’m sure there were more, but I can’t remember any others.

I remember having to compensate for the Pentium float bug in the Turbo Pascal programs I was writing back then. I really didn’t understand what I was doing at the time, and the 90s version of StackOverflow (A Tripod blog?) wasn’t that enlightening…

No. That’s just a man who loves his flute…

Okay. I’ve seen links to this a few times now…

Didn’t we buy Alaska from Russia? (Yes we did)

This is either the weirdest case of buyer’s remorse, or yet another ginned up controversy.

Wait! Are you telling me The Simpsons is satire?

No. He hasn’t.

“Well no one who speaks German could be an evil man…”

“When I stomp on your foot and say ‘Hello, Mr. Thompson’, you smile and nod.”

“BART! YOU WANNA SEE MY NEW CHAINSAW AND HOCKEY MASK?!”

“Terror. Lake. Celebrates. Hannibal. Crossing. The. Alps.”

This might be one of the single best half hours of network television ever made.

Plan9/9Front.

I remember doing IT in 2002(ish) and the mantra was “hold the power button for 8 Seconds, like that movie with Luke Perry.”

It seemed to vary how quickly they would shut down, but I remember (and it’s been 20+ years so the memory is vague, and I’m not immediately finding any supporting evidence) this being considered some type of international standard?

I’m not sure how closely it hews to your definition, but I really love vim.

Not neovim. vim.

And get those plugins out of my face. I just want a TUI text editor that works the same everywhere.

This is how someone cracked Okta a few years back: https://medium.com/@rajat29gupta/bcrypt-and-the-okta-incident-what-developers-need-to-know-9d13a446738a

And these emoji can’t frgth back?!

I’m still skeptical about passkeys. Tying your auth to a specific physical device feels like a recipe for being locked out (as has happened to many people at work already…requiring me to remove their passkey so they can get back in to their account…)

I think #1 is the nVidia CEO.

Good point, but it’s “Custer”, not " Custard".

Although I kinda like the idea of a trembling, gelatious shape being the asshole that led the charge at Little Bighorn…

Also on Fedora.

Discover no longer shows a progress bar in the lower right for updates from rpms. Flatpaks do work, though.

Opening Spectacle immediately opens the area select screen, but causes any open menus to close, negating the usefulness of screenshots somewhat…

(Also, a recent update made my boot take way longer. Like…3 seconds to 1-2 minutes. It’s weird, and seems to be some kind of hardware issue…)

I’ve never been approached by the lizard people (that I’m aware of).

But the Lectroids? Also never spoken to them.
