Well, he's been (falsely) rumored to have died in the war in Ukraine, so he clearly didn't die from the incident.

50 Shades of Gray is basically this, but it takes this idea to 11 for a joke.

I'd forgotten that awful bit until you mentioned it. :( iirc my brother got that on my file and I got the chocobo balloons on his.

Anyone know if Ublue Aurora works out of the box with a MacBook like OP has? I've got a 2014 MacBook Pro that I'm probably putting Linux on next year once I no longer need Mac OS.

My gaming laptop, with an Nvidia graphics card, is running Bazzite and I've never had any issues with it (of course, ymmv).

I'm always going to upvote a kitty pic, and I think a random kitten can improve every comment section... but why here?

Edit: Oh, I see now.

What was the worst book you’ve ever read? by AlligatorBlizzard in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

Possibly because Romeo and Juliet were stupid teenagers and and part of the tragedy is about the impulsiveness of youth. A good teacher can sometimes get that across, but I suspect it doesn't really sink in. And if they didn't teach it with A Midsummer Night's Dream it's also a missed opportunity - Romeo and Juliet is satirized during the Pyramus and Thisby play-in-a-play.

Boo, it would have been funnier if they found it and nobody tagged them.

I love how this post has been up for six hours, nobody has tagged them, and they haven't found it on their own yet.

Google killed off their own cached pages last month and they're now using IA as a replacement. Free linking is definitely important, but this is Google we're talking about, and them using IA to save money - this feels a lot more exploitative if Google isn't funding them in some way.

I have mixed feelings on the pronoun use, but having read some of her autobiographical writing I don't think she would have taken much issue with it. This piece is more focused on her work in computer engineering, so I felt it was appropriate to post here.

What distro should I use on my potato? (sh.itjust.works)

I have an HP Stream 11 that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I'm a writer and it's a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it's got Windows and it's unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with Xubuntu, but it's been a few years and it seems like Xubuntu is no longer trying to be a lightweight distro for use cases like this.

My experience with Linux is very limited - I played around with Peppermint Linux a bit back when it was a Lubuntu fork and I used Ubuntu on the lab computers in college. I can follow instructions to make a live boot and I can do an apt-get (so something Debian-based might be best for compatibility and familiarity) but I mostly have no idea what I'm doing, lol. I used to do DOS gaming as a kid so having to do the occasional thing via command line isn't going to scare me off but I'm not going to pretend to have knowledge I don't. I'm probably going to go with Mint on my gaming laptop next year but I suspect it's not the best choice for my blue bezeled potato (although I might try it anyway).

N3DS - how much of a problem is this crack? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm trying to buy a used Japanese New 3DS LL (I hate how Nintendo named that thing) with an IPS top screen, and there's one listing where the price is what I'm willing to pay, the screens are pristine with no yellowing and I'm fine with the condition of the back plates, but there's a small crack in the console just below the upper screen. I do not have the experience to replace the whole shell, is this something I could use a bit of glue or epoxy and be fine or would this become a huge problem?
