I’m curious, do you recall what hardware issue you had? I’ve been using Fedora-based Aurora on my 13 and 16.

If it makes you feel any better, this happens in the UK, too.

That did make me feel better, thanks! 😃

I’m betting hard that microplastics are actually good for us

This is someone finding novel ways to scold vague unnamed people to impress their followers, I think. What is that, threads?

This is an acceptable thing to believe if you’re a teenager or younger. Past that it’s just embarrassing.

Plenty of easy solutions. I’m not here to tell anyone their preferences are invalid but I personally don’t consider the lack of a headphone jack to be a deal breaker when there are easy solutions.

You probably could, but you’d have the taste of citric acid (which is not awful) and baking soda in the water. The Spärkel has the water that activates the reaction in a separate chamber so they don’t wind up in your drink. You need to change that water every four or five times you use it.

I use a “Spärkel” carbonator. Instead of CO2 canisters, it uses packets of citric acid and baking soda to generate CO2 and uses a compressor to infuse the liquid.

Pros:

• You can either use their pre-measured packets if that’s convenient for you, or do what I do and just buy a bulk amount of both the citric acid and baking soda.
• You can carbonate pretty much any liquid. Water, wine, flat soda, mixed drinks, you name it. The sodastream will explode and cause a huge mess if you try to carbonate anything besides water.
• They don’t appear to be Israeli.

Cons:

• Because it uses a compressor, it needs to be plugged in to operate. It’s pretty loud too!
• It takes longer than a sodastream. While a sodastream is almost instant, this will take 1-3 minutes depending on the level of carbonation you desire.

I don’t think we disagree about that at all. It’s just a weird point to be making. I haven’t seen anybody try to say that what he was doing in his capacity as CEO was illegal.

I don’t know why you think people cannot be blamed for the role they choose to have in society. That’s very weird. And if that’s not the point you’re trying to make I’m not sure what it is.

I was answering the question you asked, which was about whether or not he had committed any crimes. And like I said it’s beside the point, which you seem to agree with.

He was being sued for insider trading for dumping his stock before an investigation went public and lowered its value. So technically, he probably was a criminal. But this is all very much beside the point.

On a related note, is anyone working on a CEO assassination simulator?

Ah, this is so cool. I have been absolutely loving Aurora. Maybe I can make a check point and rebase to this to try it out.

Interesting, every example people have given you in response is pretty weak. (I’m not saying I agree with Nintendo have any exclusive claim here.)

Is there good humor somewhere on Lemmy?

It is not

Let me enjoy making fun of them! ;)

By the time I got it I think most of the driver issues had been ironed out. I did have some trouble with a couple of games running on Linux with Proton, but those same games worked fine on Windows. I think there are some kinks to work out still with dxvk. It is possible that I just never tried one of these problematic games, though.

You had to hit me with the word “literally?” 😆

I don’t know what you mean, though. “Meme” and “post” are two different words describing different things, even if they’re often related. They aren’t synonyms.

From what I can tell, that’s not unique to the lemmy network.

I guess being loathed and having an indifferent at best reaction to your murder is one potential negative consequence of participating in an industry that that devalues human life in exchange for profit as a matter of course.
