Jam = sticky

Sticky things clog. Jam when it gets stuck somewhere thickens as it dries into a rubbery mess.

Hence the concept of something being "jammed" becoming synonymous with clogged, blocked, disrupted.

Rioting. Burning down the government, and hanging/decapitating the rich.

I guess they want that rolled back to the old methods as well.

Admittedly took me far too long to confirm this was, indeed, satire.

I often play docked, but when I do I am usually playing something with high graphics demand (FFVII Rebirth) where I flip to desktop mode and use the Steam Link app to connect to my PC. If you are looking to play a really high end game via streaming, I recommended not using the SteamOS streaming and rather using the SteamLink app. Performance and controller detection work much better.

For local games I'm playing stuff more like Moonstone Island, Planet Crafter, etc and it works great. I like the ability to slap on some extra peripherals. I attach a small USB keyboard for games that occasionally need it, and a mouse, but I generally play with the PS5 controller I have.

My one beef is Smart TVs like my Samsung playing poorly with their stupid "smart device detection".. And it some times takes some playing around to get the video to connect properly (sound comes through).. A problem absent from my "dumb" Westinghouse TV/DVD combo LCDs i grabbed. So YMMV on connectivity if you have a less than well built Smart TV.

Source or something?

Fuck capitalism.

But hold up, here comes May.

I think the word drink was originally only an action, until someone started to refer to all drinkable items as "drinks" and the language adapted.

A similar thing is happening now, as people call things that can be eaten, "eats". So you can " eat an eat"

I'm a Xennial and I have hated the LOL shit right from the start. Actually aside from the basic abbreviations from IRC, I tend to avoid acronyms entirely and prefer properly typed messages. Anyone sending "lol" with every message won't see a lot of responses from me.

I recommend using Droidify client for FDroid, it has all the repositories and they can be easily enabled in its config, including microG.

Zimaboards do not need RAM. They include it (do not confuse it with the Zimablade).

I just use the default hardware with the Zimaboards. Zimaboard 832s for the masters and nodes, and I recently added a couple of Zimaboard 2s for larger nodes as those have 16gb.

I like the boards, they perform well and the intel cpus in them have internal GPUs so for light transcoding or GPU loads they can be leveraged without need for GPU cards. After trying several other x86 based options, Zimaboards are my preferred option.

 

So much food.

 

Title says it all. He sells Scrooge better than any other movie adaptation I've seen.

 

As the title says, I'm curious if they ever named or revisited this Human civilization in the later parts of the timeline in any way? It seems like too good of an opportunity to not revisit it at some point.

My searches did not reveal any answer, so thought I'd ask my fellow trek nerds.

This is the most unfiltered article I've read from The Atlantic... by the time I finished the second paragraph I had to re-read the title to understand how I got here.

Edit: To be clear, this has been revealed as satire, its just so close to reality one could be forgiven for confusing the two.

 

Just had this one shared with me directly on signal and could not find it in here, nor could I find a source. Too good not to share though. If someone knows the meme creator I'll update this with proper credit.

 

Riker came down on a whole other deck and wants answers.

 

Is the darkspace theme something that comes packaged with Lemmy or something the server admins are throwing together? I love where it's going but its in need of some love.. there's nothing to make the posts readable against the background.

Complaints are not intended here, I could likely help if someone points me to a place where I can make PRs.
