  • Do you like systemd?

    Jump

  • and all distros jumped into the honeypot

    As a filthy casual this is the most distressing part.

    I’ve observed the situation shift in just a few years from

    “Winter Systemd is coming”

    To

    “Winter Systemd is here, it’s everywhere, and i hate it”

  • Meanwhile, Final Fantasy Tactics with the translation-so-bad-it’s-might-be-a-masterpiece.

    Actually interesting and novel ability names

    Japanese: Dance with knives

    1997 Localization: Wiznaibus

    WotL Localization: Mincing Minuet

    Dialog that pulls no punches

    Japanese: My bad, but it's between you and your god

    1997 Localization: Tough luck...Don't blame me. Blame yourself or God.

    WoTL Localization: Forgive me. 'Tis your birth and faith that wrong you, not I.

    Other gems lost in the improved localization:

    • “heavens wish to destroy all minds”
    • “the doom of a planet”
    • “evanescence, such a sad word”
    • “time, save your kindness for the worthy”

    All that being said, the final fantasy gang is generally spectacular with English mastery. It’s like you can tell which books they like to read when they choose obscure words like Eidolon.

  • How Israel and its 'digital army' work to silence the truth about Gaza

    Jump

  • It’s obvious in HN because of the wide range of obscure topics (eg installing scaffolding on old British smoke stacks) that occasionally arise to the front page, all the ones on that topic are quickly flagged to oblivion.

    You don’t have to be a genius to see the pattern 🤷‍♀️

  • It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

    Truer now than when Henry Ford said it like a hundred years go.

    The SEC exists to shelter Self Regulating Organizations from any threats of democratic governance or law enforcement. Oh ya and to keep up the legalese charade that there literally is no such thing as counterfeit stock (because the Secret Service has purview over counterfeiting for some strange reason)

    Fuck the stock market 🖕

  • oh cool

  • Watching the two on the left go from hardnosed atheist commandos to saying “Praise Sol” with conviction, what a wild fucking trip of a show.

  • What’s your favourite forgotten/niche or otherwise obscure TV series that you wish more people knew about?

    Jump

  • It was seven seasons long, and they all connect from the first episode to the last one.

    That finale, so well done, so unjust 🤌🧑‍🍳😘

  • Til before he was a science fiction author, Gene Wolf helped invent the Pringle potato chip

    Jump

  • The second book, Claw of the Conciliator, is the hardest slog with the most confusing ending (but is ultimately rewarding when it ‘clicks’).

    However the third book, Sword of the Lictor, is the best in the series. So many of the best moments are in this book, as well as some of the most famous quotes.

    For me, the masquerade ball at the Archon’s palace is the “buckle up” moment for the rest of the story.

    For a real trip, restart book 1 immediately after finishing book 4: there is so much you will see know that you know what to look for.

    Also matey, the audible audiobooks are amazing 😎

    She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

    McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

    The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.
