Aww, thanks! I'm kinda regretting not naming it oneninesix, but here we are. I guess I love letters.

Edit: I relocated my elevator speech to here: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/20973851

If you're interested in modding or want to provide some feedback/suggestions/anything, PLEASE hop over and let me know in the comments or by PM.

Same, I'd much rather not have a break in content continuity and I'm ambivalent on being a mod.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 days ago

Agreed, getting this back is much more preferable. I tried 197-1 but the - was problematic.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 days ago

Hard agree, 100%. If they want to jump ship, fine, but scorched earthing the old 196 is bullshit.

So I made !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone

We'll see how it goes!

So I made a new community.

!onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Banner and icon will follow, I'm literally out running errands right now!

Is a complete lack of self awareness heritable? Are they going to breed a race of super clueless whities with bad eyesight?

I didn't have to vet your profile at all to figure out you're worth blocking. You did all the work for me.

I made a mistake: point three was dripping with sarcasm, so I followed with a line meant to highlight this, but I unthinkingly wrote it in the same highly sarcastic manner.

Do you actually just assume random people are racist for zero reason in your day to day life?

I have no idea what you're trying to infer. Please tell me this isn't a prelude to "all racism has some truth to it".

Things that break immersion for some gamers:

  1. Main character isn't a white cishet male

  2. NPCs that don't reinforce the primacy of white cishet males

  3. Acceptance of non-cis/het people in a story involving fantasy creatures that is otherwise totally believable, well-written, and, above all, where only this scene is clumsily delivered (and not the fact the supporting character's hat appears to be a folded bird)

No sarcasm in the third point at all. (Edit: That's more sarcasm where I'm indicating I'm being sarcastic in point three)

You sweet summer child.

That sounds great, but I suspect The Netherlands wouldn't welcome me with open arms. Until then, I'm stuck in 'Murica.

Hi everyone, I know this isn't 100% on topic but this seemed like the closest fit. You all tend to be more generally knowledgeable than the average Lemming. Feel free to remove if it's too off topic.

In the last few years, I watched what I believe was a YouTube video on South Korean misinformation about North Korea. It discussed defectors, the conditioning they receive after defecting, and celebrity defectors. I recall it also interviewed some North Koreans living in South Korea.

Does anyone know the video I'm thinking of?

I couldn't find a more appropriate place to post this. It's a bar in Reykjavik. Cool place, would recommend.

Seriously people, use the fucking fan. It clears away odors and covers up the sounds of your dropping a deuce. If you want to stew in your shit smell and revel in the music of your magical poop plops, do so in the comfort of your own home. If you're a guest and the bathroom has a fan, turn it on. We don't want to share.

"I live in a right-to-work state, so my employer can shitcan me for any reason".

-Linus K. Lemming

Sorry friends, that's at-will employment, *and you still can't be terminated for any reasons that are protected by law, but we're not here to discuss that. Right-to-work laws mean one thing: that non-union employees cannot be required to contribute to the cost of union representation.

The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 prohibits "closed shops", where union membership is a condition of employment; however, union represented positions can still be required to contribute to the cost of that representation. Right-to-work laws prohibit that requirement, allowing employees in union represented positions who choose not to join the union to also choose whether or not they contribute to the union's costs, i.e., if they pay dues or not.

I see this mistake frequently and thought folks might want to know the correct information so they don't unintentionally perpetuate it.

Edit: updated to include link to info about at-will employment.

Halp! Calibrating touchscreen on Panasonic CF-30

Hey all! I've been having an issue I can't figure out. Suddenly, I realized I'm in the heart of Linux users! I can ask here! I'm a total noob, so please be gentle.

I installed Xubuntu and got everything but the touchscreen working properly. The touchscreen works but the cursor is consistently off a bit, with the least error in the center of the screen and increasing as it moves to the sides. I've tried running xinput_calibrator but it doesn't help. I attempted to run libinput.calibrate-touchscreen but keep getting a "is a Wayland compositor running?" error message.

Any suggestions?
