It’s not about having accurate dates, it’s about how unix time is used in programming. For some systems that reference unix time for essential calculations, that value rolling over and overflowing would cause catastrophic problems

I have over 20 gnome extensions and I haven’t seen an update break one in the past year I have been running Fedora. Even the Fedora 40-41 upgrade gave me no issues

Coke never has the water button on it though

The Oracle games also open with Link riding his horse back to Hyrule castle, which doesn’t really make sense as a follow-up to LA, but alas

I’m still upset with the official timeline because of how they put Link’s Awakening as happening before Oracle of Ages/Seasons, when it CLEARLY happens AFTER the Oracle games! Link’s Awakening opens with him on a boat in a storm in the middle of the ocean, and if you do the special linked ending of the Oracle games the story ends with Link getting on a boat in the ocean sailing towards a storm. Get it together Nintendo!

Soldiers knocking down doors to arrest millions of illegal aliens and everyone who looks like an illegal alien and shoving them into camps, what could go wrong?

72 hours, insomnia. They first put me on benzos, then trazodone, then finally Lunesta was able to get my brain working fully again. The benzos were interesting because I didn’t really feel like I slept when I was on it? Like it just erased my memory of the sleepless night

Mastodon has a pseudo-algorithm (sort of, unless there’s a better name) in the Search/Explore -> Posts view, which shows you posts that are trending on your instance. I wonder if Lemmy can come up with something similar based on your instance activity

Because how else would we feel superior?

I love how his last name is pronounced “to share a” and he did, in abundance

163 years without a civil war, it’s been a good run. Note I’m not knocking this effort, but the lines in the sand are being drawn…

I think it’s easy to understand Mastodon, or any federated service, using a metaphor for a country or large place, where you can say “I want to move to X country” but then you have to actually pick a place IN that country to live, like a specific city or rural district. Once you decide on your instance, it’s really not that hard

Bulettes, obviously

As someone with formal education in electrical engineering, electricity is magic and we are wizards

Who are these people who vote for abortion access AND Trump? Does that make your vote for fascism okay?

Things seem to have improved in the last 5 years, so maybe give it another shot. I’m on Fedora 40 with gnome and lots of extensions, and I’m constantly tinkering with it to make it look just right (for fun, not that I feel like I have to). Nothing catastrophic has happened yet!🤞

I love how people will complain about ads on YouTube and then go on to complain that PeerTube sucks because “who’s going to pay the hosting fees?” 🙄 For the record I like PeerTube but Android clients are ass right now

As a white person in a committed relationship with a black person, no. It’s always a trap! Never say it! (Jk I know everyone is different, but I will never)

Twink = a stereotypically feminine and waifish gay man, with usually a low amount / no body hair. Source: me, a homo

Not sure where burgers come in. Might have been someone making a joke

So much nuance, wow
