What's a dope song nobody knows about that should've been a single but wasn't?

I shouldn't have to clarify this but damn:

ONE SONG, pick 1
Its not popular, most people wouldn't know it
It was not a released as a single, you have to listen to the album to find it

@BigAngBlack Prince's "Pussy Control"

an amazing Prince song you've never heard (of).

So to summarize:
Adopting BDS is criminalized
Criticizing Israel is antisemitic
Appealing to ICJ is unwarranted
Funding UNRWA is banned
Appealing to ICC Is banned
Ending the occupation is off the table
Ending the settlements is off the table
The peaceful Great March of Return is banned
Protesting peacefully on college campuses is antisemitic
Demanding return of Palestinian children held in indefinite detention in Israeli prisons is not even an option

So what are Palestinians supposed to do??

@FrankFrank @QasimRashid Yeah, I think I understand now.

We need to stop making sci-fi until tech bros can learn the difference between a warning and an aspiration.

Edit: because this post is doing numbers it’s important to explicitly acknowledge that this is a bad take on a complex and big problem.

@scott can we, perchance, instead, stop making tech bros?

Linux experts: I have the 6.5 and 6.1 kernels installed, but system boots automatically into 6.1 -- any guidance on why that's happening and how (or whether) I can force it to boot into 6.5?

(Assuming a GRUB issue but I don't want to muck with that in a casual way...)

@dangillmor

Hi, sorry, sort of picking thru this thread for more info,

If no option comes up, a) are you sure it's grub? and b) it might come up super fast, or before the screen displays, either way, after the POST beep, you should be able to interrupt it (and get the screen) by mashing the arrow keys.

Depending on your distro, the lazy way to fix this would probably involve using your package manager. Not knowing what it is, I can't suggest what you might try though. need more infos.

Pondering how the group thinks of having consistent reply trees across instances for the purpose of forum software. One proposal is to have a “group” actor re-announce everything that has been sent to it. It appears to me this approach would work just as well in a microblogging context where we have, today, the inconsistent reply tree problem across instances as well. The actor that made the root post would act as the re-announcer.

@J12t So if i suddenly reach 20k people in one post, on accident, my server has to bear the distribution of the resulting thread flood? Maybe I misunderstand.

We have been seeing in ProtonDB data that Ubuntu has been progressively losing steam (and market share) amongst gamers, what do you think of this observed trend? Rings true or not?

mousey,
@mousey@seattlematrix.org avatar

@boilingsteam the past (no shit) 12 laptops in the last 15 years i've acquired all came from e-recyclers. they all still work (though i've either given them away, or don't use them), and all run Linux.

buying a "new laptop" (that isn't a Framework Laptop) doesn't compute. There are plenty of laptops with decades (plural) of life left in them, just avoid Windows and MacOS, and you've got a good tool available to use for many years!

Mine are gen 4 to gen 8 intel laptops, to be specific.

I've been using the Linux Desktop, on every computer, for 26 years, non-stop..

I'm but one of the 4% of us, that's all there is.

So really.. I wish "be the change you wanna see in the world" was more rewarding than this??

Nearly everyone reading this is on a computer of some kind that's spying on them, using software they don't own...

Nearly everyone having to use a computer, for nearly any business..

Nevertheless, I'm not changing my mind.

@majorlinux been daily driving linux for decades now. It hase come a very long way, and I'd definitely not ever trade back!

yes, you may miss the cozy familiarity of your prefirnished apartment, rented from apple or MS, the ones with the furniture nailed down. its easy to complain about all the things you can't fix..

but owning a linux home? it's all yours. It takes a bit more to move into, what with the wide variety of furniture to choose from, yet no landlord to (refuse to) fix things!

A distributed social web of meaningful relationships.

Instead of a few centralized walled-garden apps that only tell you what an unaccountable third party wants you to know.

P.S. Still working on the messaging... how can I improve this?

mousey,
@mousey@seattlematrix.org avatar

@J12t

I keep seeing people lamenting being unable to game a following together because of a lack of algorithm.

What you're saying resonates with me because I never wanted that. Never joined a commercially run, centralized, social network, because I never saw it as a "network".

means, when I follow someone (or someone follows me), I'm building my own social network out of people I personally want to associate with.

That value is worth well more than an algorithm could provide.

Anyway, here's a 26 MINUTE TRAILER of a VIDEO GAME

Fun fact, ALL the footage is game engine, even the "cutscenes", literally everything is in engine, much of the FPS cutscenes are even interactable. And react to you!

Can y'all Please tell #NPR about #mastodon, #activityPub (and #Matrix!), please?

No really.. They're literally asking for it,

Ok, I could be reading too much into it, but it really would be nice if maybe I wasn't the only one that mentioned maybe it's something they should look into?

TIL that the "Tragedy Of The Commons" was a HOAX!!

Entirely made up by (you guessed it) a racist (eugenicist) white guy to justify (of all things) colonization and ethnic genocide. wonderful.

Thank you @pluralistic -- That's the last nail in the coffin of my doubts about the open source movement's potential (further) longevity.

Why the Steam Deck is the best game console of all time—according to me:

  1. It’s got an amazing games library stretching back decades
  2. You can dock it to TVs and monitors
  3. It’s got an amazing array of input options: built-in gamepad, keyboards, mice, racing wheel, etc.
  4. Access to multiple storefronts—you don’t even need to use Steam
  5. Repairability: it’s easy to open up and replace parts
  6. Emulation and lots of it, even fantasy consoles that never existed
  7. Optimization means a true console experience
  8. Old games often run better on it than on Windows
  9. Dual trackpads and control configuration means most games are playable, even games that don’t natively support gamepads
  10. I can write documents on it, edit photos, and program on it

You might be thinking, “Hey, everything you do on Steam Deck can be done on a PC!”

And you’re right. But this time you can do it all with a handheld.

Or you can just lay back, use it as a typical games console, and not have a care in the world.
