Asbestos was a miracle substance, like radium; you put it in everything. Talking about activated carbon on the label isn't going to help sell cigarettes the way talking about asbestos does

Armour defeats the purpose of a bicycle, which is being nimble

I would like an armed bicycle

You don't see the same criticisms for every bank heist movie that all follow the same basic premises as each other

That's because I generally don't have to hear about every bank heist movie; you can't avoid Avatar

Water isn't particularly hard to find, and the recipe for making liquid water out of solid water is dead simple

That doesn't change the fact that people are going to order less, if only because they can afford less

Lots of people play guitar, 'a guitarist' implies a certain level of skill.

Consider that you only swapped 'guitarist', but not 'astronaut'. A guitarist who's been to space isn't near as impressive as a guitarist who's also an astronaut

Or better it's just a larger jackery battery and solar, they gonna fucking regulate those too?

If they catch you using it to be self-sufficient instead of paying the electrical company? You bet your ass they will

Your loss, I guess

 

Currently the 'Parent' button takes you to the top-level comment of the thread. Could it be split into two buttons, one of which takes you to the immediate parent comment?

 

Does anybody know of a list of usb live-bootable distros, with links to the download pages?

I have a coworker who wants to switch his gaming computer over to Linux, he has Linux experience but from like a decade ago.

He's not partial to any particular distro, so I was hoping to just put together a multiboot flash drive with a bunch of live images he could try. But I'm not sure what I should include, and what has live images, vs. install only images.

I'm most comfortable in an environment with apt, so Debian and Mint are of course already covered, but if the gaming-specific distros have live usb images, that would probably be the best thing for him to try.

 

When reading a web page within Connect, it would be nice if long-pressing on links in the webpage would give a popup with the option to open the link in an external browser (and probably also an option to just copy the link). I frequently find myself linked to Wikipedia from a Lemmy comment, and then want to open other links from that wiki page, so then I have to open the page I'm on externally and refind my spot in the article.

Having the same options when long-pressing a link in a comment/post would be nice as well.

 

Edit: there's already a setting for it, another user pointed it out. Ignore me :)

~~Currently, when you block an instance or community, it's blocked app-wide. I had blocked various NSFW communities and instances on my main account so that they don't show up in my All feed, but now I can't access them from my NSFW account unless I use a different app to do so, or repeatedly unblock and reblock them as needed.~~

~~Can we instead make block lists on a per-account basis (or have the option of account-associated or global blocking)?~~

 

The text when I try to type comments (but not the text in the search bar or, as I'm just now learning, here in the 'post body' text box) is white, and I can't find the setting to change it. Obviously I could change my background back to the default blue that it was, but that's the opposite of a solution.

Anybody know?
