Who do you think would be a good candidate to do an AMA on Lemmy?
  • Damn, I didn't realize he had passed.

  • Star Wars should learn from Andor and stop making Disney Plus shows that are so obsessed with the Jedi
  • I completely agree - force users should be few and far between, but if you're going to put a Jedi Master or Sith Lord onscreen they should be goddamn impressive. It would be something you became creative with while mastering, but all we see them do is hop around and shove stuff.

  • Star Wars should learn from Andor and stop making Disney Plus shows that are so obsessed with the Jedi
  • I think you can do a bunch with jedi/sith, but you have to use the force for something more interesting than pushing things and jumping pretty high. The extended universe novels had all sorts of cool shit force users could do with it. They should lean in to that kind of stuff.

  • What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?
  • Couldn't explain it, really; I just want to grab the person and explain that Taco Bell (or whatever) is not an object you can get some of, and Taco Bell doesn't sell Taco Bells in any amount, they sell tacos! (In the voice you would speak to a toddler in, of course)

  • What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?
  • I hate it when people call the product of a company the name of the company; like "let's go get some Taco Bell" instead of "let's go get some tacos from Taco Bell" or "Let's go eat at Taco Bell".

  • There are only 4 serious consolidated Linux Distros: Fedora, OpenSuse, Debian, Ubuntu
  • This, except Slackware should be listed first as it's the eldest

  • What is your favorite fantasy movie from the 80s?
  • Conan the Barbarian, hands down, but Willow is a close second.

  • [Game] West of Dead - a rogue-like twin-stick shooter with main character voiced by Ron Perlman
  • To anyone looking to check this out, it's built like Curse of the Dead Gods. Ifbyou like that you'll like this I imagine. I only have a few hours in so far but I'll definitely burn some time playing this.

  • What are some non-Marvel characters Iron Man could defeat?
  • He could probably kick my ass

  • Appreciation / shock at workplace IT systems
  • This is very close to my workplace but we have about 17 domains to work across, with a separate account for each. It's frustrating sometimes, but in the end I get paid the same either way.

  • Ribcage Nebula
  • Facehugger Nebula

  • Small Commercial Gym Software
  • I use wger at home and it's waaaay overkill. Designed for the gym part, probably not the whole package

  • How times change
  • I feel like your good boy and my girl could raise dinosaurs and lamb-chops together. They would be fantastic parents.

  • Ted Cruz slammed for ‘join me in Cancun’ joke as Texas braces for deep freeze
  • Don't order pizza. We ordered pizza from Pizza Hut while we were down there because it was too windy for grilling at our place and it was the worst pizza I've ever had.

  • Tatertots in shambles right now
  • How could you write this and not go for "Turbro"?

    Looking for some guidance

    I have a friend in Indiana that's currently going blind (he's legally blind and has a degenerative condition, I honestly don't know the exact specifics of his diagnosis). He's currently worried about losing his job, financial security, etc. I get the feeling that he's really not planning ahead - everything I hear from him is regarding the impending loss of his house, who will care for his dogs, and how there's no help in his area. I've looked up resources in Indiana and found a lot and sent them to him, but part of my (admittedly uninformed) advice has been to move to an area that's more walkable (he still has his drivers license but shouldn't be driving as he has almost no peripheral vision) and an area with a lower LOC (he says rent is around 2-3k for an apartment, in my area it's closer to 1k for a small house), things like that. His job is remote, but he's worried about losing it as his sight degrades, since he has to see the screen at the moment, but I'm advising to look into screen reader assistive tech for that (which the company should provide).

    I guess my question is: how realistic is my advice versus his concerns? I feel like he should be looking for a new location RIGHT NOW while he isn't forced to make a decision, I feel like there are more resources than he realizes, and I feel like his area is pretty expensive compared to some of the lower COL locations in the country. If anyone has any experiences in this sort of situation I'd appreciate your take on what he should be planning for, or really any sort of advice to give him.

    Autoplay playlists?

    Super stoked about using Piped. I've created an account on piped.video, found a playlist, all that; I can't figure out how to play all the items in the playlist though - I seem to only be able to play them individually. How do I play everything in a playlist without having to select them individually each time? I'm using the browser interface at the moment.

    YSK: Sometimes fostering just doesn't work out.

    I've been fostering a family member for a month or so, and it all came to a head today. My wife and I tried, but the behavior was just too much for us to feel safe with our existing children. I hate that we're giving up and I hate the circumstances that caused this, but it is what it is. If you're in the same place please don't beat yourself up; sometimes you can want something really bad and it still not be right for you.

    FOS emulation

    I started a new job as a systems engineer not too long ago and am looking for a way to get comfortable with FOS as I've never had to manage FC switches before. Anyone know of a way to emulate it, or should I just resign myself to buying an old switch on ebay and throwing it in the rack?
