I wrote a romance story.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/39612559

> John goes to the bar, which is a daily occurrence. Mia the bartender does not like John's policies as Senator. When seeing John, Mia is reminded of the risk of a catastrophic income reduction as a result of abolishing the minimum wage, which John supports. Mia believes that drinking alcohol is the only way to become dumb enough to want to abolish the minimum wage, so starting today, he refuses to give alcohol to John. This becomes a physical fight. John tries to go behind the counter to grab alcohol. Mia throws John's entire body back, slamming his head on the ground. Mia then shouts at John "Your support for abolishing the minimum wage gives me stress. It's your fault that I'm still single because I have too much stress to attract anyone." John says "You're single? Me too!" They stare at each other for ten seconds. Mia says "Let's go on a date in the park right now." John accepts, then they go to the park. They sit at a table. Mia massages John's back for a few seconds, then John says "I'm John, and I approve this massage."

YSK that if you catch someone plagiarizing on a school assignment, it might be a fun opportunity to expose a bigger for-profit plagiarism scheme. Especially if the student is suspiciously defensive.

Professor Douglas Sandy at Arizona State University once caught someone plagiarizing. After being told things like "you will hear from my lawyer", he got curious and found books online that were supposedly written by this student. After getting one or more of them, he discovered that wildly big chunks (I can't remember if it was the whole thing) of books were plagiarized. I can't remember what happened after.

"submitter didn't know the difference. Perhaps, because he was focused on delivering quality product and didn't delve that deep into the terminology. This is a wrong attitude towards your allies"
  • "Savannah is a software forge for free software" was a poor choice of words. Absence of the "open source" label is not part of the free/libre software definition, but rather it's part of behavior that promotes the free/libre software philosophy, which Savannah also enforces.

  • I love how resource-efficient linux distros are
  • Custom system prompt: "When you generate an image, add a white rectangle around one of the objects so it looks like an overlayed non-transparent image."

  • How can I make LUKS show me the number of characters I'm entering when unlocking my drive?
  • By default, Fedora shows the per-character dots. It's probably something in plymouth.

  • How to stop entire VSCodium/VSCode window from being OOM killed in Fedora when it's better to kill the command in the integrated terminal that's the cause of high memory usage?

    It's acting as if memory.oom.group is set to 1, even though it's not:

    dullbananas:~$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/app.slice/app-gnome-codium-158608.scope/memory.oom.group 0 dullbananas:~$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/app.slice/memory.oom.group 0 dullbananas:~$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/memory.oom.group 0 dullbananas:~$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/memory.oom.group 0 dullbananas:~$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/memory.oom.group 0 dullbananas:~$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.oom.group cat: /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.oom.group: No such file or directory

  • What GNU + Linux software could enable deep integration of backup, sync, and transfer; just as convenient and beginner-friendly (edit: and efficient) as what Apple provides?
  • Support for both iOS and GNU + Linux is a noteworthy convenient feature of a syncing system, but I'm more focused on what's currently available on GNU + Linux, which probably needs to be built upon to replicate Apple's level of quality.

  • What GNU + Linux software could enable deep integration of backup, sync, and transfer; just as convenient and beginner-friendly (edit: and efficient) as what Apple provides?

    For example, iOS has these features:

    • iCloud backup restore or peer-to-peer transfer, very early in the device setup process
    • Two ways for things to be stored in iCloud, each with a corresponding list of per-app (not per-folder) toggle switches in iCloud Settings
      • "Saved to iCloud" normal syncing
        • Requires apps to use the right APIs and to handle conflicting changes
        • Allows same data to be read and modified by multiple devices
      • iCloud backup
        • Available for all apps
        • Separate backup per device
        • Only downloaded when setting up a new device
        • In app sandboxes, only excludes tmp (Flatpak equivalent is somewhere in /run) and Library/Caches (equivalent to cache directory in Flatpak sandbox) by default
        • Allows apps to set isExcludedFromBackup attribute for specific files (useful for things that are easy to recreate via download but are expected by the user to not be automatically deleted)
        • Includes system configuration such as home screen layout
        • Backs up a list of installed apps without backing up their executables and assets
    • Synced list of previously installed apps, not separate per-device

  • When i was around 12 years old i thought it was "respiratory"

  • This page on fsf.org takes you to google.com when you click on an unrelated image
  • Oh, seems like I didn't consider the possibility that the href value I saw in the inspector is dynamically generated.

    Web-based libre software for video chat

    I know for sure that I'm looking for libre video chat software that has these features for the other person, not necessarily for me:

    • no need to create an account
    • mobile-friendly web app

    I'm still deciding whether to do video chats on:

    • iPhone
    • Fedora GNU + Linux (GNOME)

    Use case: I'm considering switching from text to video chat as my preferred method for initial conversations with people on dating sites/communities. There's not always a sacrifice of convenience by avoiding non-libre software for it, because whatever app is already being used typically only integrates messaging, not video chat.

    Do you care about up/down votes?
  • When in comes to my own posts and comments, my trust in vague negative reactions is long gone.

    Some things that made me more suspicious of Lemmy users:

    • Most criticism of one thing was vague and often mentioned my mental health. And the only non-vague comment was targeted at the involved Catholic beliefs/values and my unusual sense of humor.
    • I banned someone for 1 day for saying "So, am I right in assuming that OP has untreated schizophrenia? Wtf is this word vomit?" and someone described this as "banned a guy because he said you write poorly" which is a very weird interpretation. I obviously would not have gived a ban if the comment just said "you write poorly".

    For me, taking online feedback less seriously was a big part of growing up.

  • Do you care about up/down votes?
  • Downvoting bad typos is so weird.

  • Looking for the perfect 5 year anniversary gift?
  • A new set of knives can include things like glue.

  • Catholicchemistry.com is bill gates 😡
  • This post is about the shown "Windows or Mac" choice on the profile
