I was going to say "isn't Motorola owned by Google though?", but then I looked it up. They're owned by Lenovo. But they were owned by Google! In 2014, which is 12 years ago and I'm going to go crumble to dust now...

Oh wow, for the hundredth time in a row? What are the odds!?

I'm pretty sure all the Linux filesystems I've ever used don't care about tilde. You might have to escape it or quote it if you're typing it into a shell, since the shell might try to replace it with your homedir, but I don't think the FS cares.

On my ext4 FS I was able to touch me~ow just now with no issues.

I don't know a lot about stuff, but is there a reason you're backing up the files off the disks, rather than imaging the disks into an ISO or something? I've never owned a 360 disk, so maybe there's some reason I don't know.

Oh, I didn't know they had some coming down the pipe. That's great!

At least in Canada I cannot find a Japanese Battery EV, seems like they're (almost) all Hybrids. I think Japan spent so many years trying to push Hydrogen, and they sabotaged their battery chances as a result.

The Korean options seem good, though!

Honestly, I'm not a big fan if Microsoft generally, but I found NFS to be surprisingly not great for non-permanent infrastructure, whereas SMB took a few minutes and works great, at least in my use cases. Maybe I'm just a loser, though.

I know this is a stereotype, and doesn't apply to all men or women, but I think it's important. I think the woman thinks "if I'm important to you, you should represent me at my best", which I could maybe see as a form of respect or something.

But the dude is like "I don't love you for your best, I love you at your silliest. This is a photo of you no one else has, and gives me the feeling of when we're together. Anyone can use your LinkedIn headshot or some photo from Instagram of you posing over some drinks."

I'm not sure stereotypical women have noticed their guys while setting up an Instagram photo, but they're not cherishing those moments 😛

I know you're gatekeeping from Turd Mountain, but just for completeness, the reason I use Jellyfin besides the "pretty for my wife" reason is that it keeps track of her progress between clients. She sometimes watches things on her laptop, sometimes her phone, sometimes her tablet, and sometimes the TV, and no matter which one she uses it'll remember which episode of her show is the next episode. It also highlights when a new episode of something has been added and cues her to watch the new episode that just came out.

But yeah, if I was alone and only had a pile of anime I'd already seen before, which I only watched from my Linux devices, Samba and VLC would do me fine 😛

I know this is a little off-topic, but I felt like this was a comically extreme example of the "fun" of the Fediverse, to have come up organically here in the Fediverse community.


"Hey, is there something like Facebook?"

"No, we're not like that here. I've got some interesting information about that on my own website"

"That link doesn't work"

"Oh that's right, we totally broke it and I forgot, and gave you a broken link to my own instance. Anyway, in liue of working links, here's some text you can use to fish around on my website with instead"

😛

Nothing in this world is forever, and I hate Facebook, but I bet there's Facebook links that people have to some special post or photo from their life from 16 years ago, and we got a broken link live from a site that might be gone in 2 years. 😉

Don't worry bud, I'm sure you'll grow into your teeth...

 

Hey folks! Back in the PS2 days I had Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and besides the quests and stuff I also loved just driving around and going on little road trips and stealing planes.

And then in the PS3 era I had Just Cause 2, and the voice acting was terrible, and the quests were kinda dumb, but wow was it fun to just drive around and go on little road trips and steal planes. And your dumb little hookshot was nearly immersion breaking it was so unrealistic, but instead it was a ton of fun zipping through the air from 150 paces to kick a dude off his motorbike...

Anyway, I'm wondering what people's opinions are on these kinds of games these days! I know Cyberpunk has some driving, but I don't know if people enjoy cruising in it. I really liked Breath of the Wild, which is not really the same but had some screwing around times. I know there's a GTA 5 which I never played but it's probably good, I think there's a Just Cause 3 but I haven't looked into it. Some people love Red Dead 2, which I mostly bounced off of but maybe I was wrong.

Do you folks have any favourites in this "genre"? Things I should check out? Stories of worthless hijinks? Thoughts?

 

Hello! I've just started using StreetComplete, and I want to make sure I understand the answers before I go through and make a bunch of garbage data.

In this picture, is the kerb a ramp, or flush?

The sidewalk deflects downwards, but it's not a ramp ramp like the example picture.

How about this one?

The kerb itself dips, but the sidewalk on this one looks more flat and does simply run into the road. And then it has the texture, obviously. Is this one different from the last one?

Also, just to check, I marked both of these sidewalks as "concrete". That's correct, right? I wondered about "concrete plate", because they're segmented, but the picture made concrete plate look much more substantial.

My other question was based on the "lit" tag for a bus stop. This bus stop has a street light near it, but there's no light on the bus stop itself. It sounds like that means it is lit? Would a non-lit stop just be one that is fully dark at night, then, with no kind of lighting anywhere near it at all?

This one is further from the street light, but still has line of sight. Lit?

Thanks very much for any help you have!

 

Hello folks! I have these switches in my bathroom.

The rightmost is the lights, and the middle one is the bathroom fan, and I'd like to replace that middle one with something I could load tasmota on (or some other open source firmware), without replacing the other switch, the sockets, or the faceplate.

I haven't seen any smart switches that have a form factor that would fit through this faceplate, though; they seem to mostly want to be the entire electrical box.

If it weren't for the electrical plugs I could maybe replace this with some kind of 2-gang thing, which isn't really what I want but could be fine, but as it stands I'm not sure what my options here are.

I don't need the new switch to necessarily look like the old one, I just want it to fit in the same box and use the same faceplate. Do you folks have any recommendations?
