Look, you will have a sizable contingent of people shelling out an additional $20 to $80 just to play a game a few days early, with little to no other benefits. Their impatience is capitalized on.

Man the American feds are on a roll lately in terms of rooting out corruption.

What I love about Linux software vulnerability and exploit news articles are these hilarious "evil penguin" illustrations. Windows' bug ones are not nearly as interesting with usually like a skull on a monitor.

Here the Ohhhhhhh functions more like the extension of the last syllable so I'd read it as garlic tooooooooooooooooooast.

The latest: A couple comments about the US VP Debate I had started but decided against. Often times I realize that I'm angry and upset at something I read, but I should step back and breathe before posting a rant and opt instead for something more level-headed.

In the past year: Some replies that I write sound like just backtalk so I don't post those when they don't meaningfully advance the discussion. Some discussion topics like about autism, LBGTQ, gender equality, wars, religion, and race issues I want to reply to, to help spur and advance awareness and discussion, but sometimes I feel it's not my place. I want to leave it for people with more direct experience to provide better answers. Oh and one other reason: sometimes I start writing but delete too topic- or location-specific answers that could doxx myself. I don't mind people knowing what city I live in or have been in but any more granular than that you will have to know me better personally.

Only time I win a Q fight with Abrams is if I remember to press F, and follow it up with way too many Qs or 3/4 of my kit. If I still fail this guy goes from 1HP to 60% like some EV quickcharger.

It's uncomfortable, but I think everyone in the US (and people internationally interested in US politics) need to hear it. This was Trump's plan in 2020 and is his plan again in 2024.

I'm getting tired of articles that read like: "Noooo we voted NDP, why isn't everything fixed yeeeeeeet?"

It's way faster to topple a Jenga tower than to build it.

Threats of violence are inappropriate, but you can't force anyone to like you enough to help you start your club.

Not sure why any professor at FAMU would wish to align themselves with today's Republican parties of Florida and US. Rejecting affiliation with the likes of Governor Ron DiSaster is free speech.

I wish Ms. Lane well, I'm sure that she'll have a great career ahead of her as a token black woman at Fox News.

 

Just put it on the side streets - Doug Ford's gaslighting compromise might work in some cities like Montreal and Vancouver but aren't well suited for Toronto and its suburbs.

 

Mmmm. Roasted ham.

 

This is a site that has summarized and cited points from the Project2025 document (with assistance from Google's Gemini AI algorithm along with manual fact-checking) categorized by topic.

If you want a concise and accessible set of reasons on why a Trump/Republican presidency would be bad for the US, to help explain important issues to friends and family without sounding like a conspiracy theorist or a political savant, this resource may help.

Hey everyone, just a reminder in case you hadn't seen it or forgot from months ago, the Canadian official e-petition is at this link as part of the Stopkillinggames.com campaign. Maybe we can get some clarity from our government on what our rights as consumers are when buying access to video games.

Signature collection ends at 9:30am ET/6:30am PT on Thursday 5 Sept 2024.

 

L'enquête par ISDE Canada sera ouverte jusqu'au 26 septembre 2024.

Les Canadiens peuvent envoyer leurs commentaires à l’adresse suivante : https://form.simplesurvey.com/f/s/RTR?lang=FR

 

I figured that right to repair is a topic many of us are interested in. The survey below by ISED Canada, a department of the Government of Canada, is open until September 26, 2024.

Canadians can provide their input at the following link: https://ised-isde.survey-sondage.ca/f/s/RTR

 

Video shared from a Mastodon user.

 

Some Lemmy user at one point had asked about a "multi-paste" feature, if there was a way to use keyboard shortcuts to display multiple clipboard items and copy/paste them out at will (this user mentioned similar to RTS games they like to play). ~~If someone can find that post, can you notify them and direct them here, please? I'm having trouble locating it but I recollect that it was within the last 3 months.~~ Edit: I found the post!

Somehow this was stuck in my mind when I accidentally pressed a keyboard shortcut, that showed my last 5 copied items. This isn't exactly what the user was looking for but I thought I'd publicize it here.

If you use Fcitx (because you need multi-language input) from the fcitx5 packages, then you may already have installed the clipboard add-on. You can use fcitx with just one keyboard layout. By default, it's activated by Ctrl+semicolon and shows the 5 last entries, but the number can be configured.

 

I wanted to get the Lemmy community's opinions on this, because I made a comment 2 months ago, wishing for someone with these qualities to replace Joe Biden who at the time wasn't considering dropping out. I will be holding myself accountable to my pledges.

Thanks to everyone who answered on [email protected], but only links are allowed so it was removed. I did follow through with my donation to charity regardless.
