I spent the last 6 months working on a feature. Found out 2 weeks before release that it was being postponed.

Came here to write advertising. Your product should speak for itself.

Landlording, however, is not an occupation. They’re just parasites who’ve convinced people it is.

A really good way to do linux is to play around and break things, but to have a backup you can restore from.

I don’t know about other distros specifically, but Mint comes shipped with Timeshift, which is easily configurable and can be set up to include your home directory. Make a backup on an external drive every now and again so that if you break everything, you only lose a bit of work instead of all of it.

Search engines are your friend. If you want to do something, look it up first (ex/ “How do I [x] on linux”) and read some of the answers. Don’t just go with the first option you see, and if it looks decent but you don’t understand it try looking up the commands it uses to find some documentation.

Learning linux isn’t something you can do as passively as you can with Windows, so take time to really try and learn things you’re looking to do.

And a good rule of thumb is that if you think your system should be able to do something, it probably can.

I have terrible but defined habits for my ROMs. I use the same folder structure for all of them.

./[platform]/[game]/[game].zip

./[platform]/[game]/[game].iso

./[platform]/[game]/saves/…

If it’s a series, using Pokémon as an example, I also have:

./Pokemon/Backups/[game].zip

./Pokemon/[generation]/[game]/[game].iso

So it’s not that good of a backup, mainly there in case the iso corrupts, but I think it’s better than nothing.

I think at this point I am more excited for, and have higher expectations of, Skywind.

As a Jr. Full Stack, I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

I work with Java. And I’m definitely ‘rose tinted glasses’ because I also learned to code in Java. But I’m the opposite.

Do you use Java at home?

Fuck no, I want to stay sane.

Depending on the day, anywhere from 1 or 2 to several dozen

I’ve been using mine since 2011, and I will continue using it for many years. I have an alternate one that I use in some cases (things that need a little more professionalism attached), but for everything else, I will forever be LordPassionFruit.

I also have never tasted passion fruit.

Maybe we should reanimate John MacDonald. Not to be a politician or give him any legitimate power (for obvious reasons), just give him a bat and make him a CN lobbyist.

Surely we’d get our rail soon.

I only noticed with my partner after they already told me they were a lefty, and we were working together one day and kept bumping each other.

Now we make sure that I sit on the right and they sit on the left.

‘Subscribed - Scaled’ to catch up, then ‘Subscribed - New’ to interact.

Part of the time scale was how low risk the issue ended up being. We knew from the first few months that even if it was a tumor, so there was no “rush” to get me in to see people.

One of the ‘mindsets’ of single payer is that more severe/risky issues can get fast tracked over less severe/risky ones. Ultimately, all that was happening to me was that my vision was slightly affected (because my eyelid wouldn’t open fully). But had it been a tumour, I likely would have been on the surgeons table within a month of them finding out.

I also live under single payer healthcare, and I have experience with a much lower stakes “hail mary” type event.

A number of years ago, I developed a growth on my eyelid that no one was sure what it was.

We started with the optometrist, who thought it was a duct blocked by dirt and suggested a medicated cleaning regimen where they assumed it occurred. This didn’t help.

So I got recommended up the scale to my GP, who took one look at it and said, “Yeah, that ain’t right. Here’s a recommendation to an eye specialist at the hospital.” which took ~1 month to get an appointment.

A month later, I have my first appointment with the eye specialist, who isn’t quite sure what it is but knows that it’s an internal problem and not a blocked duct. After the third appointment (3 months after the first) she says that she’s narrowed it down to either a benign tumour or a blood clot, but isn’t confident in her eyelid surgery capabilities and recommends me to an eyelid specialist in a neighbouring province.

6 months after the first optometrist appointment, I have my first appointment with the specialist who identifies it during the appointment as an internal scab that will decompose itself, but the wound isn’t healing. He says that surgery is an option, but there’s a chance I go blind and a smaller chance that I straight up die. He tells me that I’ll come back in 3 months because it’s not life threatening, and if it starts getting much worse, we’ll discuss removing it.

After an appointment with him every 3 months for almost 2 years, it finally cleared up.

The issue itself was relatively low risk, but it wasn’t until 6 months in that it was deemed “not cancer.” At every step, the risk was evaluated, and ‘hail mary’ options were discussed. But they were always discussed as “if it gets worse, we can do this, and the decision is yours”. So (at least where I live) there are hail mary options and you can take them, but only if the risk to your health is significant enough that the rewards outweigh the risk.

Mine’s outside, but I also have the same version… who’s out here cloning this cat?

Oh I’ve been trying. He’s tech adverse in general, so the concept of open source software scares him because it means trusting others with regards to tech.

It also doesn’t help that my dad still isn’t filly convinced Linux isn’t a virus/dangerous to my PC.

Honestly. I genuinely have to fight to not say please and thank you.

Growing up, our ketchup came in plastic bottles with that little aluminum seal between the nozzle and the bottle. Our rule was it stayed in the pantry until the seal came off, then it went in the fridge.

To your roommate’s credit, we are “my brother got sunburns in winter” white.
