I can think of one way

Also some worry that the locals might take it out on expats if it becomes a war.

Learn Spanish, and hope they focus on the gringos that only speak 'Murican

Though I will admit, Anthem wasn't that bad

I was going to say, that's an easy one as long as you know Ayn Rand had other books besides Atlas Shrugged. Not better books, mind you, but certainly shorter ones

Who said anything about methylphenidate?

Being sick now becomes a moral failing because you didn't do enough to stay healthy

But if you do try to stay healthy (e.g. wearing a mask and social distancing during cold and flu season) you're a $insult_of_the_week

It could be free and I'd gut it for parts, though

I wish these people were smart enough to understand how stupid the phrase 'radical liberal' is

People know what satire is, linking to the Wikipedia page for it just makes you look like an ass. The problem with satire is that there are plenty of equally ridiculous comments posted in complete ernest, so unless you're a well-known satire account, comments like that are going to get downvoted into oblivion

Burning wood is green iff the wood was harvested from trees planted for this purpose and all equipment used in the process from planting to harvesting to processing is entirely running on renewable energy.

Seems like it'd be easier to just use solar power and heat pumps for heating

A comedy bit, because it's a fucking joke

Currently the 'Parent' button takes you to the top-level comment of the thread. Could it be split into two buttons, one of which takes you to the immediate parent comment?

 

Does anybody know of a list of usb live-bootable distros, with links to the download pages?

I have a coworker who wants to switch his gaming computer over to Linux, he has Linux experience but from like a decade ago.

He's not partial to any particular distro, so I was hoping to just put together a multiboot flash drive with a bunch of live images he could try. But I'm not sure what I should include, and what has live images, vs. install only images.

I'm most comfortable in an environment with apt, so Debian and Mint are of course already covered, but if the gaming-specific distros have live usb images, that would probably be the best thing for him to try.

 
 

When reading a web page within Connect, it would be nice if long-pressing on links in the webpage would give a popup with the option to open the link in an external browser (and probably also an option to just copy the link). I frequently find myself linked to Wikipedia from a Lemmy comment, and then want to open other links from that wiki page, so then I have to open the page I'm on externally and refind my spot in the article.

Having the same options when long-pressing a link in a comment/post would be nice as well.

 

Edit: there's already a setting for it, another user pointed it out. Ignore me :)

~~Currently, when you block an instance or community, it's blocked app-wide. I had blocked various NSFW communities and instances on my main account so that they don't show up in my All feed, but now I can't access them from my NSFW account unless I use a different app to do so, or repeatedly unblock and reblock them as needed.~~

~~Can we instead make block lists on a per-account basis (or have the option of account-associated or global blocking)?~~

 

The text when I try to type comments (but not the text in the search bar or, as I'm just now learning, here in the 'post body' text box) is white, and I can't find the setting to change it. Obviously I could change my background back to the default blue that it was, but that's the opposite of a solution.

Anybody know?
