Gonna upgrade my laptop to Ubuntu 24.04… expecting that, like everything else I have done on this laptop involving Ubuntu, I am going to regret this

Lingmops,
@Lingmops@topspicy.social avatar

@mcc correct. 22.04 annoyed me so much that I changed to Mint. Which is basically Ubuntu anyway, but without fucking Snap

Man, thanks to my two infections in 2020 and 2022 I have absolute brain rot at times. I forget stuff so damn fast and easy, never had that before. And sometimes I'm standing there, looking for words in stories I was telling a million times before. Fckd up.

Where’s my fucking Thinkpad, Yodel?

@Lingmops@topspicy.social avatar

@guffo is it in your bin? Is it under your bin? Is it in your neighbours bin? Is it under your car? Is it on your roof? Have they buried in a shallow grave? Have they disassembled it and crushed the resulting parts into a fine powder? Have they crushed it in a trash compactor? Have they forgotten it in a pile in their delivery driver’s living room?

We’re watching an episode of Star Trek?

  • Which one?

Troi’s mother is on board. She is horny.

  • That doesn’t even narrow down which show it is, never mind what episode

To which god do I need to offer a blood sacrifice to in order to transfer some music files to a god damned iPhone in 2024? Where did the basic ability to sync albums, songs, and playlists go?

I'm re-reading Lord of the Rings for the first time since I originally read it at like age 12. I'm only 5 chapters in, but I'm blown away by how different it is from the films.

I've seen the films dozens of times and on a high level are a pretty representative take on the book. But so many of the actual events are totally different in the book, holy crap.

Honestly makes me appreciate the films even more, they did a great job streamlining the book while keeping the essence.

@Tijn I did the same not to long ago and my biggest surprises were:
Frodo is a older middle-age fusspot
Sam is his child servant
Aragorn is a complete himbo. Just an absolute plank of a man.

Looking at some Yen Huh, it's weird how where some other currency would probably put a portrait, the yen just has a blank white oval. Is this a reference to the holes in east Asian coins, or…? Looking closer Wait holds up to the lightbulb Holy shit

The bills are held up to a light. The white circles in the center now show faces within them.

That thing where you are several words into reading something before you realise it’s in Dutch, a language you don’t speak.

Can anyone explain to me why so many Americans identify as their great grandmother's nationality and also dislike immigrants at the same time?

What's so special about being 12.5% "Irish" or whatever anyway?

@alda whiteness while ironically not realising that Irish wasn’t considered white at the time.

Update from @Lingmops: VaccinDirekt in Stockholm and Uppsala have the updated vaccine now! https://vaccindirekt.se/nya-covid-vaccinet-i-stockholm-och-uppsala/

Ugh. Sverige now will not offer the updated Omicron COVID-19 vaccines until November 7.

I have to travel internationally for work on November 4. I was hoping to have some factual statement to calm my illness anxiety with.

I’m passing the time while ill with Covid by binge watching Steven Universe. I’m still completely astonished at how good this checks notes children’s cartoon is.

Rebecca Sugar is an astonishing creator, author, artist, and musician.
