Thanks for running this, I had a great time!

Exactly. A large portion of the .world user base is from North America and doesn't realize .world isn't based on the United States.

I lost entire weeks of my childhood playing at being an ant.

Now that I've typed that out, ~~bug~~ big chunks of my childhood suddenly make more sense.

Edit: dammit. I'm leaving that typo because it's perfect.

Just hop to another instance that doesn't have the same difficulties as .world. Reddit 2.0 on Lemmy requires us to be compliant.

Here's a great video that addresses US vs German prisons:

Aww, this brought up a fond nineties memory.

I got busted installing Shit Talker (1.2 by Jaundice!) on all of the computers in the economics classroom and scheduling them to disparage the economics teacher throughout the day. In my defense, he was an idiot.

I was banned from using any school computers for the remaining two years of my high school career, so I built a mini-PC (using parts my dad "borrowed" from work) in a portable file box and carried it from class to class, using the school PC network connections, monitors, and peripherals.

It's a miracle drug but only if you're a lizard person. You need that zeta reticulan biology for it to work.

Maybe our passion can keep the AMOC going.

I'm seeing $1900, but guessing $2500+ once the scalpers get to scalping. I don't intend to buy one, but I hope those assholes get fucked over.

As someone with a few disabilities that used to frequently deal with sanctimonious bullshit like this, all I can say is: Jesus fucking Christ.

They were often the descendants of conquerors or settlers. While you could overcome competitors justly, being completely ruthless is typically advantageous. Maybe I'm crazy, but perhaps we should implement a governing system that discourages that behavior.

Ugh, I knew it'd be Jordanlund before I saw the instance. I like them as a fellow forum user, but they should NOT be moderating anything. They remove comments they disagree with and use the moderation reason as a "you're wrong and my opinion is the final word now" field. Absolutely bullshit.

I couldn't find a more appropriate place to post this. It's a bar in Reykjavik. Cool place, would recommend.

Seriously people, use the fucking fan. It clears away odors and covers up the sounds of your dropping a deuce. If you want to stew in your shit smell and revel in the music of your magical poop plops, do so in the comfort of your own home. If you're a guest and the bathroom has a fan, turn it on. We don't want to share.

"I live in a right-to-work state, so my employer can shitcan me for any reason".

-Linus K. Lemming

Sorry friends, that's at-will employment, *and you still can't be terminated for any reasons that are protected by law, but we're not here to discuss that. Right-to-work laws mean one thing: that non-union employees cannot be required to contribute to the cost of union representation.

The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 prohibits "closed shops", where union membership is a condition of employment; however, union represented positions can still be required to contribute to the cost of that representation. Right-to-work laws prohibit that requirement, allowing employees in union represented positions who choose not to join the union to also choose whether or not they contribute to the union's costs, i.e., if they pay dues or not.

I see this mistake frequently and thought folks might want to know the correct information so they don't unintentionally perpetuate it.

Edit: updated to include link to info about at-will employment.

Halp! Calibrating touchscreen on Panasonic CF-30

Hey all! I've been having an issue I can't figure out. Suddenly, I realized I'm in the heart of Linux users! I can ask here! I'm a total noob, so please be gentle.

I installed Xubuntu and got everything but the touchscreen working properly. The touchscreen works but the cursor is consistently off a bit, with the least error in the center of the screen and increasing as it moves to the sides. I've tried running xinput_calibrator but it doesn't help. I attempted to run libinput.calibrate-touchscreen but keep getting a "is a Wayland compositor running?" error message.

Any suggestions?
