A woman once told me she worked in a club and when one of the regulars passed away, a bunch of them went to his funeral.
There’s certainly worse legacies one could leave, than having spread some wealth around while presumably having been respectful enough to be missed.
My favorite DropOut show is “Play it by Ear”.
There’s not enough of it yet, but I re-listen to old episodes of their “Off Book: The Improvised Musical Podcast” to tide me over between seasons.
If I had to pick a favorite episode, it would still be from the Podcast, but the show keeps getting better.
Obviously Game changer is the best game show on any network. The latest surprise season bonus finale is my current favorite, followed by the other escape room episodes and of course “Yes or No”.
By total hours, I guess Dimension 20 is my favorite.
A tip for the D20 curious: start with more recent series, or one of the self contained live shows.
I think my favourite D20 is now tied between Never Stop Blowing Up and Mentopolis. Cloudward Ho is working for me, as well.
Um Actually, Dirty Laundry and Gastronauts deserve a shout out for helping get me through doing the dishes and laundry.
I forget sometimes that there isn’t anyone else really doing Um Actually with real nerd cred (that I have found. Recommendations welcome). I feel spoiled by it.
Gastronauts feels like it could become my favorite cooking show, once they dial in their unique balance of silliness and earnest food appreciation.
I wish Smarty Pants seasons were a bit more frequent. It’s such a nice showcase to discover new comedians.
There’s a delightful DC Comics Elseworlds story that amounts to this. It was fun.
I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity.
That’s beautiful, in it’s own way.
I felt that way at one point. It led me, eventually, to moments that I later decided mattered very much, to me.
If I hadn’t had that morbid curiosity, I’m not sure I would have made it to those moments I now cherish.
Here’s to morbid curiosity!
Eh, you can post, but people might just ignore it. So you’re screaming into the void for the most part.
I love this analogy, and I need to expand on it.
Lemmy is like taking a pleasant walk, with mostly chill fellow hikers, through a nature preserve, and then taking turns shouting into an empty canyon.
Sometimes a nice and/or informative discussion follows during the hike back to the lodge for some hot cocoa.
Why can’t you just use a butterfly to manipulate bits like a normal adult?
Sadly, I never learned, and C-x M-c M-butterfly, feels like cheating.
Debian and nano?
I think you might thave invented the Linux version of “straight edge”.
I choose to believe you also have no community package sources enabled, and use only the included Debian themed default desktop backgrounds.
Is openSUSE and Neovim ok?
Excellent choice. You’re going places!
We accept everyone here*
Everyone who runs the correct version of Linux, except if they use the wrong text editor.
Hmm. That matches my recent napkin math guessing where they would land.
It’s a little short of what they probably need, but they can always raise prices in a few months.
I like this better.
The threaded conversations allow a useful interesting discussion to continue, even after some random person’s comment details half the participants.
You might try Wayfinder.
It feels like classic World of Warcraft without the grinding for levels or loot.
Oh. Good to know. I’ll keep an eye out for that one. Thank you!
You may want to check out the new “One Piece” game on the same engine. It has the same game play loop, interrupted by a surprisingly nicely animated story line.
I expect that’s why the internet’s been falling apart lately.
I’m sure it is.
It’s been interesting to see people not really getting angry about it, yet.
Simon’s Puzzles is what i use when I’m trying to reduce my own doom scrolling.
Luanti (a very nice free Minecraft clone) is also great for a few minutes (…or hours) here and there.
Edit:
What the hey, here’s a few more!
Burger Party - Like that pizza game, but burgers
Breakout 71 - Breakout as a Rogue-lite
Endless Sky - Space Trader Simulator
Gridle (Crosswords-Like Wordle)
Mindustry - Mobile Factorio-like
Pixel Dungeon - Rogue revisited and constantly updated
Where do you get once every 2 years? Do you never reboot your machine?
I’m hearing you like to reboot your machine unusually often.
The reason I can think of where clicking would be a huge pain in the ass is an automatic task. I have some of those, but I put them on machines that I treat as servers, and the time between reboots is genuinely counted in years, for those machines.
At this point you must be missing the point on purpose.
I wasn’t before, but now I am.
I find your argument distasteful. If you want a server, use a server. But there’s no need to shout to the world that servers require command line use. That’s normal in 2025.
If you treat your laptop like a server, that’s okay. No one is judging. But my grandma isn’t doing that, and it rings hollow to complain so loudly about it in a thread about average users enjoying Linux Mint.
An average user will never even notice the issue you have been complaining about, while enjoying the product for free.
I don’t normally tell people to go open a pull request, but you should do so, if only to get a better understanding of what the community has already given you for free.
Yes. I guess that’s fair though. Most people don’t like change.
So you’re complaining that you have to click on it - once every two years - when you reboot…
That’s rough, buddy.
I joke. But also, I guess if you feel that strongly about wasting my a click, Linux is definitely the OS for you.
That was a surprisingly good sequel.
