ColoUrs, Newton was a well learned man! These meme creators, grrrr!

So, i am confused. If Musk says something is bad - then it must be good, right? But that thing is coming from Trump, meaning it certainly must be horrible shit. So much confusion!

Bought my place from a family of Hindu fixer-uppers. The house ticked almost all the boxes for us, so totally no regrets (after spending a lot on redoing things,but that is another matter).

There still is one quirk left that I cannot explain though. The guys built an extension, adding roughly 15sqm to the living room. That was actually one of the major selling points for us as we did not want to do such a big project on our own from day one.

BUT. They somehow thought that would be a grand idea to put 14 ceiling lights there. Almost 1 per sqm. My eyes bleed if all are on! Luckily, they split it into 2 groups, so I can use only 6 - and that is bright enough.

A lot of people had this attitude in Russia. Let the evil guys run the country to the ground, and then rebuild into a better structure. This will happen, I think, the only problem is that can take decades and millions of people dead in the process. No suggestions here, just a note...

Mint media centre (lemmy.world)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by Bloodyhog@lemmy.world to c/linux@lemmy.world

Hello world! I am seriously new to the world of linux (fleeing from windows after all the shit they are doing now), so please forgive my ignorance.

I have an old ThinkPad with Mint on it - installing it was about as far as I could get without training wheels. I'd like to use it as a media station with TV as a main screen. Where should I go to do so?

I need to operate it with an airmouse or wireless keyboard if i really have to, and my wife should be able to as well.

Some further requirements:

  • it should support a few subs we have, like Amazon, Netflix, Disney+ and maybe more in the future (I'd rather have less, but the family WANTS IT ALL!!!);

  • ideally it should switch on with that airmouse and load directly into that media shell without OS being visible.

  • the next step would be to have it access media on my old NAS and show it as a separate source. I think this should be easy enough, if the above works.

Ok, now shout at me with all your wisdom and tell me this is the wrong community to ask and I should google it all! ;)

Are you asking if Swiss guys knew about mountains? )

[-] Bloodyhog@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Yeah, but still. How, how could anyone vote for this ekstra speshial man? And, more importantly, how can someone like me stay sane knowing that such morally corrupt candidates are winning votes, and not only in the US?

Keep calm and carry on, mate. We here in Britain finally managed to get rid of the blonde fella who was wrecking our country, you can also do it. The new ones may not be much of an improvement, but I know one thing for sure - a decent citizen of any nation should never accept as their leader such a corrupted and crooked in so many ways person.

Would you consider divorcing Bezos a good deed?..

[-] Bloodyhog@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Not really easy if he does not have the actual money. Which, it seems, he does not.

[-] Bloodyhog@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The good thing is that by that age you shouldn't really give a fuck about stereotypes someone else has. Go chase what you like! And if you happen to have some fun with ladies here - all the better )

Ok, that got me. I still remember the days of ZX and that funny noise... But I do have a question for one part of the meme: can someone explain to me why on Earth the updates now weigh these tens of gigs? I can accept that hires textures and other assets can take that space, but these are most likely not the bits that are being updated most of the time. Why don't devs just take the code they actually update and send that our way?
