yeah the battery life was horrible. it would eat 6 AA batteries like they were candy. I only ever used mine when it was either plugged into the wall or plugged in the cars cigarette lighter which my dad hated cause he smoked.

not sure what you’re asking? it’s a WM, you run it as a WM just like you would run any other x11 WMs like i3. you install it, you add it to your .xinitrc, you do startx from a TTY.


sounds like one of those free use songs that youtube provides when you upload a video so you don’t get copy striked. people actually LIKE this drivel? wow.


I use akkoma for my instance instead of mastodon because it was easier and less resource heavy. honestly had no idea it was a fork of pleroma.
Honestly at the end of the day I just use stuff that is better with resources and easier to setup so Akkoma instead of Mastodon, Piefed instead of lemmy.


oh yeah it’s huge. As of right now Pandemic Horde have lost over 16,000 characters that have quit the alliance. they’re pretty much done. End of an era.


you honestly think I believe that? it was a joke, calm down.
In Ontario and Alberta we have a lot, like seriously a lot, of really dumb people. Anti-Vaxers, Maple MAGAs, etc. Ever wanted to see the Confederate flag flown in the most Northern part of the continent possible? cool, go to Dryden Ontario.
84% of the cases came from these places.
People thinking this is a joke or laughing at this don’t seem to remember when Apple released what was essentially a sock for your ipod video. or how about the $1000 monitor stand? or the wheels for your Powermac that cost hundreds of dollars.
This is Apple folks. If they can find a way to nickle and dime their gullible cultish user base they will do it. They’ve been doing it since…well since the company was founded.

a few years ago I actually started DDP Yoga after messing up my back. it works, it REALLY works. it’s like “holy shit I can move again this is amazing” works. Seriously if you have any kind of movement issues try DDP Yoga.


as someone who has a multi-gpu laptop…yes, please do it. I can’t even use x11 on my laptop and I’m stuck on wayland.


and the skeptic in me is wondering “what’s her play here…” what’s the con/grift?


yes I should have clarified I completely own the domain. the deal I got was essentially a “coupon” thus free for registering the domain that the web hosting service was partnered with. naturally once my first year is up I have to pay for the domain on a regular basis.


What helped me when I was a kid were games like Quake 3 Arena, Worms, and Mechwarrior 2, 3, and 4.
Q3A was because of the speed. you had to be fast with the mouse if you hoped to compete. Add to the fact that the bots in Q3A, at the time anyways, were quite good. you can play it offline with bots or even over a local LAN.
Again going back to a LAN staple but Worms is also good. you need precision with the mouse on that one. lots of geometry at play.
Finally the Mechwarrior games which really emphasize the mouse and keyboard combination. Torso Twisting and Flicking, positioning of your legs in regards to your torso, etc. really helps with mouse coordination.


I play EVE Online soooooo this happens daily? multiple times a day?
The political dramas in that game could put actual real world political drama to shame. I mean take what’s currently happening in game right now. A massive alliance named Pandemic Horde decided to evacuate the space they held. fair enough, the issue? Leadership made the announcement they were leaving said space and then…leadership quit. in the same message. Thus all the regular members, literally hundreds of them if not well over 1000, were left on their own in hostile space with all their assets stuck in stations that were now actively being shot at and destroyed by opposing alliances. The players are essentially stuck because all the upper leadership of Pandemic Horde have the massive capital ships that they could have used to save their members by getting them out of system or aiding in destroying the attackers but they said nope, we’re not going to do that. It’s a cluster fuck.


This is what I did but I would suggest you shop around. in many cases for first time sign ups you can get the domain for free and you pay a discounted price for the first year. For example I went with a local webhosting service where I got the domain for free, unlimited email account creations, and a decent shared web hosting server for $50 a year. I use the web hosting to host my personal site regardless of the fact I have a dedicated server with OVH. But I mean the free domain and emails + web hosting for $50 a year was a deal I couldn’t turn down.


They seem to be doing well in Canada? I don’t know within the past couple years I’ve noticed more and more Wendy’s opening up in Toronto.


it really is fantastic out of the box. When I switched to NixOS I had decided to stay on zsh/ohmyzsh and it was an absolute slog. it was so slow and didn’t mesh well with the zsh plugins. Someone suggested I try Fish instead as it pretty much could do what Zsh does with plugins but right out of the box. Fish was much faster and indeed could do everything that I had configured zsh to do but I didn’t have to configure Fish at all. It’s great, I’ll never use another shell.


The original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. After they finally defeated Rita and Lord Zedd the kids are back at the command center celebrating with Zordon and Alpha 5 that they’ve finally beaten them both. They then talk about what to do next as they still had their powers but the big bads were defeated. The kids bring up the fact they maybe they could start doing good in the community and being crime fighters, apprehending regular bad guys and criminals and keeping Angel Grove safe for everyone.
They never did any of that.
“you kept making the stops?!”
“YOU’RE BATMAN!”
