the dankogt meme of them all

Ha! You got fleeced. I would have settled for a dinner roll with ketchup on it

Take care to keep your headset very clean (free from dust, lint, hair etc - consider getting a lens cover and/or zippered case if Frame doesn’t come with one).

If you lie back any gunk in it will fall right into your wide open eyes

Di danyone else expect this story was going to end with the lyrics from the Fresh Prince theme song?

Or maybe how The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table

THANK YOU

Wow, today I learned!

My house often has hobo spiders downstairs and I had always heard the unsupported folk wisdom that they are as dangerous as brown recluses. All the other spiders in my area are harmless, so they were the only one I was afraid of.

Now I know these ones are chill too

Thanks for posting this - what a relief!

The results are in. You’re HIV Al-Adeen

I recall quite liking the parody film, Unfastened Coins

It’s a non-serious exploration of the sinking of the Titanic, told in an over the top conspiratorial tone with nonsensical theories and conclusions, similar to Loose Change

It also mentions citizens so presumably they can chase away anyone who doesn’t look like a citizen

I haven’t tried it myself yet, but I’ve had my eye on the Ploopy Mouse for when my current Logitech dies

And they’re almost pointing in the same direction!

I second the Debian recommendation, with one caveat: if ever you need to install software that is not maintained by Debian (I.e. it is installed using a command like make install instead of apt install) then you could run into significant problems.

Debian uses a system (called APT) to manage the logistics of all your apps and libraries. This is wonderful until you add a program using a different method that APT doesn’t know about. In that case you can “end up in dependency hell” where your system can no longer update or install new packages.

Advanced users can work around this limitation to install things safely, but for a user just starting out I suggest to only ever install packages that exist in the Debian repositories (that is, can be installed with APT or one of its various frontends). This can mean the programs are a little outdated or not available.

Debian has a document that explains this in greater detail, which I suggest every Debian user reads: Don’t Break Debian

Beware, if your device is the Verizon version then the answer is that most likely there is absolutely nothing you can do. Never buy the Verizon version because they lock them down and throw away the key

In my experience, 100% of the time the app works perfectly fine anyway. Google is just lying.You can install them using the alternative Play Store frontend called Aurora Store. Aurora is available in the F-droid repository.

On LineageOS I think F-droid is not installed by default but you can get it from https://f-droid.org/

Why is 12 afraid of 10?

Because 10 was in the middle of 9/11!

Also Dick, as in Philip K. Dick. In German Dick = thick = fat

The other day I saw “P00P” and “P00R”. I gave a chuckle but I didn’t have anyone to share it with

I’m rooting for you! 🖤

I thought that was a glory hole at first and you are the worst neighbor

From what I understand, the mere exposure to slurs reduces one’s sensitivity to prejudice. That is to say, simply hearing a joke or story with a slur makes one more racist/homophobic/etc, at least for a brief time.

The effect was not observed with other explicit language; only slurs.

If that is the case, then it causes harm even in cases where, as you put it, it is “IRONIC or DARK HUMOR context and not meant to harm.”

Personally, I am based in the United States and while I am not usually the subject of slurs, I generally do not prefer them, if for no other reason than to show support for others who are targeted.

Whether it is tolerated varies by instance and community. As a general rule I’d guess it depends on whether the moderator believes your intent is to cause harm. If it is intended to be harmless then it is likely permitted. However, such language would be perceived very poorly - that is how racists talk, after all.

I, for one, would likely down vote it. On Lemmy, many communities are trans safe spaces so those kinds of slurs are not tolerated and will very quickly lead to a ban. Any use of the N-word for pretty much any reason, other than, maybe, quoting rap lyrics, would result in a ban in almost any community of American culture
