@darius oh my GOSH, I love them! 🤩

Darius Kazemi

Back in the days of AOL Instant Messenger, whenever I would message "thank you" to one of my friends he would reply with "yw" and for literally years I thought he was saying "yeah whatever" and I thought he was kind of dismissive and maybe a little rude

FACT: Cyberpunk 2077 takes place 20 years before the events of One Must Fall 2097

so what are some palindromes that anagram into other palindromes?

I guess:

poop
oppo [political slang, short for "opposition"]

Darius Kazemi

great now I have to figure out what "snap" is and why it's bad

Suitably ballyhooed

@darius I’m so excited to have found a convenient method of deploying nix on remote machines. Can’t wait to get rid of my last Ubuntu box, just before the snap disaster becomes unbearable.

Matthew "Smiffy" Smith

@darius Just looked it up. So basically it's Docker?

@darius They're easily got rid of:

And if you really want them to stay gone:
askubuntu.com/questions/125180

Curiously, my systems continue fine: Gnome is picked up from elsewhere. I've had to compile one package from source (ScanTailor) and go back to using fucking-ableist-named-image-editor instead of Glimpse.

Snaps can't access global /tmp, but at least with 20.10 they didn't clutter up df output. Not my problem any more

@danbruno Ys 8 is 60% off on Switch so I am finally going to try a modern Ys game (I recall playing Ys on SNES as a literal child and bouncing off)

Dan Bruno

@darius Ys 8 is great IMO (though I can't vouch for the Switch port). It's also the closest the series has felt to Trails of the ones I've played, I think if you're gonna like any of 'em it'll be that one

Darius Kazemi

@danbruno just finished act 3. Damn

[DATA EXPUNGED]
Dan Bruno

@darius Still in Act 2 on August 26 over here! I’ve just finished talking to everyone at that big party. Excited for real stuff to start happening soon, instead of spending all my time “proving the strength of my convictions” or whatever by sparring with people already on my side 😛

Getting members of the medieval bourgeoisie to sell each other out... flipping burghers

@darius but once again ignoring the threat posed by the entrenched clergy

@darius 😂 followed! (I bet there’s like a 70% chance of some kinda giggle in a given quote…)

Alex Gaynor made this tracker that shows you detailed updates on votes in uncalled states as they come in to the NYT data feed

@darius thanks, I hate it

Darius Kazemi

While I am gutted about the mayoral race here (I wanted Ted Wheeler out), I am glad that as a state we decriminalized possession of essentially all illegal drugs, which some estimates show will reduce drug-related imprisonment for possession by about 90%. Also the state measure to (eventually) legalize production of psychedelic mushrooms is cool too, I'm excited to see how it affects PTSD therapy.

vera 🍄

@darius seriously tho how the hell did Ted win? I know Teressa split the vote but people still actually voted for him. Like he should have gotten zero votes

Want to feel young? In 2030 today will be as far back in the past as 2010 is today

In my head right now: the Big Red chewing gum advertising jingle from the late 80s

@darius def remember that jingle. this sent me down a gum commercial rabbit hole that led to Big League Chew, the chewing gum from hell itself youtube.com/watch?v=BCawfG0CFv

ranjit

@darius now it’s in mine too and I didn’t have to press play >:(

Sumana Harihareswara

@darius Hilariously, before I actually went and played it, you know what immediately sprang to mind for me? The Mentos theme! I guess they are filed next to each other in my head

Darius Kazemi

Pronouncing "goth" so it rhymes with "both"

@darius "the second Great Vowel Shift started, as far as we can determine, from a single 'toot' by a noted jester of the era"

oh right google changed all their icons so I have no idea what tab gmail is open in anymore

dm me for new account

@darius yeah. its sucky. and its not even just learning new icon because with all of their icons having the same colors a key part of my processing ability is taken away.
