Unless the original standard agrees and implements it, then you’ve just created a new standard.

Execute just adds 1, so if you want the dir world viewable, it’s 755.

Indie games are the only thing keeping gaming alive for me, for the most part. All the AAA games I play are older titles. Doing the GTAV story with a trainer has been a pretty fun time lately for me.

Fit girls make fit games

Yeah whoops, brain said terabyte but fingers said gigabyte.

I know storage is cheap, but nearly half a terabyte? I’m already giving any game the side eye if it takes more than 50G of space on a disk, let alone nearly 10x that.

The tech is interesting and has applications

I used to say that, but I’ve given up on that idea. I’ve never seen a use of blockchain yet that didn’t boil down to being virtual money. NFTs could have had potential as a method of trade if they were tied to real ownership of things instead of just receipts saying you bought a cartoon monkey jpeg.

But every time I think something would be a problem blockchain solves, I can always think of an existing, typically better, solution to that same problem.

My dad went over the bars of a dirtbike when he was about 20 and landed hard on his shoulder, but walked it off.

Came back to haunt him with a vengeance last year almost 50 years later, super high pain in that shoulder that took a surgery to go away.

She would probably be touched if you asked her. I say go for it.

Political memes are just the non-grandma version of political cartoons.

I see it that way. You don’t dive into some strange without protection, don’t let your computer do it with websites.

I helped someone I know out with a thing on their computer and got blasted by ads because they didn’t use an ad blocker.

Those two minutes on the Internet really had me questioning how anyone manages to use it raw without going insane.

I block ads on all my devices, but I assume they’re scams by default when I do see them.

I use adnauseum on my computer so it blocks the ads, but also sends a request simulating a click to the ad network. Based on average CPM, I’ve cost advertisers like $300 so far.

I just have a different partition for /home. For snapshots, you could set a partition up as btrfs and use btrfs snapshots

Ask your doctor if Boromir is right for you.

Is there a particular reason you can’t use apt here?

It’s always preferable to stick with repo packages unless absolutely necessary, because performing a manual install could place your system into an unsupported state or prevent apt from updating it later, which can lead to issues especially if that package is something core like bash.

The relative lack of content on Lemmy, for me, has been a boon. I go through New, then Top 6 Hours, then Top 12 Hours, then I need to find something else to do. When I was on Reddit, I found myself bouncing between Reddit and YouTube for entertainment. With Lemmy not having boundless amounts of crap to scroll through and no algorithm, my tech usage is far more varied.

unbearable due to the sheer amount of advertisement.

I spent 3 days in a hotel room this week, and while I did bring my Steam Deck and dock with me for entertainment, I got there to find that the TV had no HDMI ports. I was stuck with basic cable and the only saving grace being Showtime, which wasn’t at extra cost and doesn’t have ads.

But when both Showtime channels had stuff I was less than indifferent to watching, the advertisements on any of the other channels were horrible. The shows felt like they were 1:1 in terms of content to ads.

Don’t get me started on the radio, either. I used to love listening to the radio, but now all they play is the same set of a couple dozen songs, with 5 minutes of ads that play every 3 or so songs. Also, no rock station in my area plays anything newer than ~15 years old, tops. They’re all still playing the same music that I listened to on those stations when I was a teen, and I’m a little over 30.

I remember hearing about the potential of Web 2.0 in the 00s and thought it sounded like it was going to be really cool.

Now I just want the old web back. Isolated forums had a sense of community that, even on Lemmy, isn’t present in the same way.
