clif@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever2·6 days agoI appreciates that about you.
I don’t know if I’ve actually seen one of your posts, but thank you nonetheless.
Don’t mind me, I’m just going to keep up voting these posts because they’re so well done.
clif@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Arkansas bill targets 'gender nonconforming' haircuts for kidsEnglish5·29 days agoI’m old but the shortest my hair has been in the past 35 or 40 years is shoulder length. Every other spring I have the spouse chop it off to shoulder length then let it go again for two years.
I’m also in Arkansas.
But, not a kid so I guess it’s okay for me to be my filthy hippie / sasquatch self according to this proposal.
Yeah… I should expand. The penguins are just my favorite part of those movies and it matches the Linux motif that I started with yet falls apart, you know, when I name a windows laptop

Good to meet you birthday buddy
Mine are named after the penguins from the Madagascar movie : Skipper, Private, Kowalski, and Rico.
Unfortunately there’s only four so I often supplement with a suffix. For example, I’ve got an old windows laptop kicking around that is “rico-w”
… I should really commit to a naming scheme with a wider array of options.
Second this. Think I heard about it on lemmy, been using it ever since. Built in editing, copy to clipboard, save to file, all the stuff I need.
I don’t have kids, so yeah.
Edit: now that I scroll through the comments, I see this is a common theme.

clif@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!English3·2 months agoIt’s fine.
The occasional complaint I see is not enough that I’ve considered moving and I don’t even remember what those were. But the great thing about the fediverse is that you can move if you want!
Now there’s too many gay people in the population to keep them down.
Well if we made more gay people, let’s just make more trans people. Problem solved!
clif@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Has Github/Microsoft rolled back the master to main switch?English2·3 months agoI’ll find something else to screw up and cause it to break, don’t worry.
You’re not my supervisor!
Makes sense; people are stupid. Me included at least half of the time.
I remember a backpacking buddy talking about a tool for puncturing the (empty) fuel cans for “jet boil” camping stoves because they couldn’t be recycled without very clearly being empty.
clif@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the best loophole you've ever found or learned about?3·3 months agoIf you’re not abusing it, credit card companies are more than happy to do charge backs via disputes.
And, what, the shady company that scammed you is going to fight a multi billion dollar corporation?
I’ve used this a few times when I got fucked and the company doing the fucking didn’t respond or didn’t care.
At least you didn’t have to worry about Ruin manipulating it.
… Sorry, I’ve been reading the Mistborn series and just finished “The Hero of Ages”
