I had lots of problems with Connect yesterday. Closing the app, then clearing cache and storage fixed all of my problems.

Wow, Canada to Alderaan is quite a move.

Your username claims that you are a cat, but I’ve never met a cat who would consider apologizing for anything.

Thanks for the information.

Better than EBCDIC!

While I have observed this to be true, I find it surprising. Melamine is also the material from which the backing of IKEA bookshelves is made. Of course one material can be formulated in many different ways, but still … That was a revelation.

Hmm. I didn’t know Lemmy censored anything. Interesting. Is that per instance or universal?

There were things that didn’t scare him?

Gnome hasn’t been good for years. I’ll post from Cinnamon or XFCE.

It sounds like you already have this problem solved, but just in case:

Back when I still used Windows, the workaround was just to make sure you didn’t have a network connection when installing the OS. This could be done by unplugging the NIC during install on a physical system or by deleting the NIC in a VM (or other ways, obviously, but these were the simplest). It still took some convincing, but then you could make your username whatever you wanted.

I don’t know if that still works - it’s been years - but if you still use Windows and still have that problem, this might be worth a try.

edit: program -> problem

I think it’s fantastic. I used to have this experience on Reddit years and years ago. If Lemmy is able to reproduce that journey, it’s not a negative.

Two things coming together finalized my choice to leave Windows:

• the ability to play almost every game on Linux thanks to Valve
• the fact that you couldn’t create a local account during a Windows install (back when I discovered this you still technically could with some workarounds; I don’t know if you still can but you shouldn’t have to put in any effort IMHO)

Fair enough.

Bshole?

Where I live, the nearest … Basically any sub shop other than Subway is almost an hour away. Also, Subway is one of only two places closer than that that takes online orders; the other is a Chinese place that does take online orders but only accepts cash.

I’m not defending Subway, just suggesting an answer to why anyone would go.

Happy to be of service.

If you’d appreciated it harder, maybe we wouldn’t have lost it!

I think it’s the newest popular LLM, named after a concept introduced in the book Stranger in a Strange Land.

I once looked into an apartment that was essentially an empty box with a separate fee for each amenity / appliance.

It’s been a while, but I think one toilet was included, but nothing else to my memory.

Fair guess again.

In this case, she’s named after the Alien movies.
