I was a newly out queer teenager when OSC started running his mouth about gay marriage. At the same time I was a big Harry Potter fan.

Fuck Orson Scott Card, but he doesn’t seem quite so bad anymore.

I had that book as a kid and I’d completely forgotten about it until now!

Lemmy will upvote anything, this is just a Bean in an empty soda case.

I’m glad it’s not a thing here because as a “positive” incentive I feel like it drives some users to vapid karma farming over actually interesting and new content. That said, I occasionally miss it when there’s some unpleasant commenter douchenozzeling all over a thread and it’s an easy way to see if someone is always an unpleasant ass or if they’re having a bad day and otherwise make valuable contributions to Lemmy.

That’s really funny because Internet Archive has everything I had as a kid and more.

And there’s stuff that just can’t be made into a Flatpak. Someone mentioned in another thread that they wanted to use Waydroid on their deck, Bazzite has it built in but Steam OS doesn’t - maybe there’s a way to layer it on SteamOS but that’s sort of tricky to do (idk I don’t have a Steam Deck but I run Bazzite on my laptop).

Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2 (shout-out to OpenRCT!), Island of Dr Brain, Oregon Trail 3rd edition, Math Blaster, and a bunch of little educational games that nobody else has ever heard of from Ohio Distinctive Software.

I wonder if Chrome started charging a monthly fee if that would be enough for them to start hemorrhaging users?

I actually learned this from a comment on that video. ;)

A couple years ago someone on r/TwinCities posted about finding a boarded up tunnel in their basement. Turns out that it went to the neighbor’s basement.

Apparently they aren’t that unusual in certain neighborhoods with houses of a certain age - they were used historically to move coal for heating the houses.

Ooh, Limo has a Flatpak? Nice. I’m running Bazzite on my laptop and have been wanting to play FNV for the first time but I’ve got it on Epic through Heroic Launcher. I’m guessing the file paths will be different but it should otherwise mod more or less the same as you said, I’ll have to try it. What kind of weird stuff did you have to do to get NVSE working?

I’ve looked into this because people do keep them as pets… one of the problems is you can’t have just one, ideally they’d be a small herd. And they need somewhere to go swimming and a lot of exercise, and they don’t handle cold well…

They’re good pets in the same way that a herd of goats are good pets. Some people have the situation where they absolutely could have a a few capybaras but they’d be miserable in a Manhattan apartment.

Can I just point out that there was a point in time in living memory where this statement would be utterly deranged? (And it’ll probably soon be unusual again because of OTA updates…)

Although 420698008 isn’t bad…

Trans women thought it gave them cone boobs, that was the gossip back in the trans group back in the day.

Lara Croft is a trans woman, cmv.

The appendix is a vestigial organ that doesn’t actually do anything in humans. (It might still fit the definition of vestigial, but it’s far from useless and we keep learning more about how valuable gut health is.)

I’m guilty of this a few days ago, but there’s no FOSS memes community on Lemmy and I don’t know if there’s enough interest to make one.

I looked up the Taj Mahal money laundering, and it’s real.

What, the Lichtenburg figure on the guy’s skin? Yeah, but they usually disappear in about 24 hours.

New Brighton’s logo does look extremely corporate though.
