AltThe image contains three panels, all screenshots of what appears to be a talk show, containing subtitles. The host asks "Do you think Margaret Thatcher had girl power"?. The guest responds "Yes, of course.". The host follows up with "Do you think she effectively utilized girl power by funneling money into illegal paramilitary death squads in Northern Ireland?".

Cyberpunk Rules (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 2 weeks ago by CatLikeLemming to c/onehundredninetysix

AltA post by cureltyserpent containing an excerpt from a book. The excerpt reads "Magnetic Dog Sisters were on the door that night, and I didn't relish trying to get out past them if things didn't work out. They were two meters tall and thin as greyhounds. One was black and the other white, but aside from that they were as nearly identical as cosmetic surgery could make them. They'd been lovers for years and were bad news in a tussle. I was never quite sure which one had originally been male.". The poster comments "Can't beleive [sic] the first characters described in classic cyberpunk fiction are lesbian (one trans) puppygirls with a sister kink".

In a literal translation it would be, but considering it's not a big bang, but the big bang, it'd be "Urknall" which I'm not sure how best to literally translate to English, but it's something along the lines of "bang of origin" or "original bang".

That doesn't make the tweet any less wrong though, this is just semantics.

Fallacy Rule (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

(How do you do those little boxes that you can open for alt text?) Alt Text: A post by @leonard_ritter, showing an image of a roughly humanoid figure with a lot of red dots near the arms and legs, with another image presumably from a video game in which a female looking humanoid is shown, wearing armor that covers arms and legs, but only a bikini-like area near the torso region. The post says "our dwarven engineers came up with a new armor design protecting against the typical injuries sustained by warriors returning from battles in the netherworld".

nuclearspaceheater: You actually do need noble lineage to rightfully rule, but since lineage doesn't dilute, and given the historic sexual tendencies of people in power wrt [sic] their servants, eventually noble lineage spread wide enough that everyone had it and that's why democracy happened.

I'd encourage use of StreetComplete, you can walk around your local area and get lots of points to survey with data on street widths or businesses' opening times. Imagine if all the people who were busy with Pokemon Go used that, OpenStreetMap would be nigh perfect in terms of data.

Image alt text: An image of Steam's top 10 best-selling games at the time of posting, three of which are marked as "prepurchase"

I checked the Steam stats and noticed that in the top 10 best selling games by revenue, there's three games that aren't even out yet. If we ignore the Steam Deck and f2p games, it's three out of four games. They have also been in the top 100 for 4, 6, and 8 weeks respectively, so people just keep on buying them. I would love to know why people keep doing this, as the idea of pre-ordering is that there is a physical copy of a game available for you on release, but this is not a concern with digital items. So after so many games lately being utterly broken on release, why do people not wait until launch reviews to buy the game? If you touch a hot stove and get burned multiple times, when does one learn?

I know you meant this sarcastically, but yes, flex is a good option for centering something. Either that or setting the left and right margins of the element to auto, which is generally even easier.

Basically, if you're in a flex container use flex, if you're in a grid use grid, and if neither of those apply set the left and right margins to auto.

The original meme template, to my knowledge, was something along the lines of "People be like "Subway sucks". Bro, you made the sandwich." and then it was tweaked a little, tweaked a little more, tweaked a little more and we ended up with this and even more absurd versions.

When I see a product I already use being promoted by YouTubers in sponsored segments, I immediately question if I should be using it, even if I'd have happily continued had I never seen that sponsorship.

Huh, I never expected anyone to recommend Arch to me because you have to tinker too much with an alternative distro. I thought simplicity was the reason why people liked NixOS, no?

Sorry, I should've checked before posting

A quick reverse image search suggests it's from the Webtoon "Monsters and Girls" made by Idolmantises

Are you male or female?

My dad is male and my mom is female, so basically, I'm mixed

And, put simply, that is entirely fair.

While I personally deem Windows to be worth not much more than the sum of its software and hardware support, that is certainly an important factor for many. I would encourage many people to at least attempt to use Linux, as Microsoft's monopoly on non-apple pcs is rather worrying, and they may even prefer Linux completely disregarding that factor, as I did, but you have clearly tried and figured out it doesn't work for you. Depending on the distro Linux can satisfy developers, average computer users, at this point even many gamers, but creative support is clearly lacking and if you need it then that's the final word on that.

While I encourage you to take another look in half a decade, or maybe a full one, please remember that people here on Lemmy are rather... preachy about Linux. So you're gonna get backlash for that decision, no matter how much sense it makes. Please do not let that behavior taint your view of Linux as a whole <3

Or in other words: Every OS has its advantages, I'm happy you found the right one for you at the moment, do give Linux another shot eventually, but for now just ignore the people telling you you're wrong or that there's some kind of easy fix for your multitude of issues and don't let that annoy you :3

I bought an HP Envy, one of these convertible laptop thingies, when I didn't know any better. The hinge broke about a month after the warranty expired. Repair costs (at a local repair shop, but still) were like 200€ because apparently I had to buy a whole new top cover for the damn repair to work

Anyways, I'm gonna buy a Framework laptop next because fuck going through that again

This isn't a fix. Excel wasn't meant for this. While I do understand it's convenient as a database, unless you're doing something unimportant and small you just really should use something proper. And even now that this "problem" is gone, I am certain there are still more things that cause trouble. You can not satisfy everyone and Excel was just... not made for gene info storage.

Even if you don't want to use stuff that isn't Microsoft Office, that comes with Microsoft Access, which is a proper database management system. It's literally in the same software package, so why do people refuse to use it?
