Permanently Linux since 2001. Debian is life.

Not exactly Linux, but Haiku. Been rooting for them for years. Because I used BeOS and I must admit, it was light years ahead of the rest. Haiku though does not seem to be doing too well.

Support his development. I will pay to remove the ads at some point when I am not being lazy. Many people like him because he listens, makes changes, has tremendous support and so on. Not to say that others don't but that is just how we roll.

The irony

I’ve been locked out of PayPal for years because of their mistake by nicgentile in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world
[-] nicgentile@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

Got locked out of my PayPal account but I apparently can't close it.

A couple of years ago I was running a growing loans business on r/loans and the other one. One day, I got scammed. Loaned someone money and when it came to pay day, they reported me to welch out of the deal.

It took 180 days to get the money I had on my account. I tried closing the account and PayPal would not let me. It's been years and all I get are notices of terms and marketing stuff. I try to unsubscribe and it keeps coming so I mark it as spam but Gmail does not care.

How to reset a locked iPad? (lemmy.world)

At my work, they recently cleared out the lost and found and were going to trash stuff. I ended up with a clean practically new iPad. The previous owner was not contactable for over a year. He left his Apple details on and his passcode was 12345 (I kid you not). I want to unlock it from his Apple account so that I can hard reset it. What can I do here?

*Edit: So, after exploring it a bit more, I found a password list in the Passwords. Literally, the first password I put in was the correct one. Lol. It has been freed.

This. For the past 3 months I've been driving down the 95 at dawn. Around 5.30 AM it's every person for themselves. Around this time, people casually cruise at 80mph. The person forcing you to move from the overtaking lane while your car is breaking a sweat at 85mph is an unmarked cop car trying to get to wherever faster than you are. Cops drive far worse here. It's the one place PG cops just let shit slide. You don't bring your nonsense to the 95 at dawn.

Writers of Lemmy, what good character qualities/virtues do your main characters have that you don't? by nicgentile in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] nicgentile@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I write about bad guys. All my characters are bad guys. One is greedy and manipulative, whereas the other one is a violent sociopath, while the other is a womaniser and finally a thrill junkie who loves to watch people get beat up. I'm working on the aspect that the sociopath and thrill junkie are also serial arsonists.

I don't agree with what my characters do, but they represent an untold story. I have little interest in making my characters likeable and instead more like the person they are supposed to be. Bad guys.
