I work for a Canadian university library and I assure you that data archival efforts are proceeding apace. I can’t really say more without possibly endangering American colleagues.

It’s pretty heartwarming seeing all his friends come together to help him get his shot. Dude is obviously terrified and struggling. Bravery is more about facing your fear than it is about objective danger.
- Comment on It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with? 2 months ago:
It runs perfectly under Proton via the Steam runtime for me. Genuinely- maybe try Linux?
- Comment on What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good? 2 months ago:
The Long Dark. Something about wandering an icy wasteland scavenging, hunting, fishing, works for me.

I would say no* but the asterisk has a few paragraphs involving funding sustainability, cryptobro involvement, and dubious decentralization.
- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 4 months ago:
They have good flights but they do make a lot of noise at the waterfront. The smell of avgas is overwhelming, too. Nothing against them, it’s unavoidable, but I’m looking forward to their electric Beaver plane.

Ah, cool. Anoxic lactoferment, then. That does sound good. Like sauerkraut.

What are we looking at? Pineapple and sugar and water?
Do you airlock it?

It can but rarely; mostly it’s a kidney thing.

That was my theory too - the Gems are a von Neumann probe, created by a possibly-gone species.

That sounds high. How much of that is transient seasonal labour?
- Comment on Exclusive | Texas migrant buses to NYC come to a halt — but hundreds of border-crossers are still arriving each week 6 months ago:
The USA has a population nearing 400 million, you wouldn’t think a few hundred thousand migrants a year would be an issue.

Should’ve. Didn’t. Oh well. Stuck with it.

In retrospect I definitely would have liked a duodecimal metric system, but we have what we have at this point. It’s good enough and a DAMN sight better than imperial.

They abandoned Linux support. Fuck them. It was one of the only games that did. Linux users were a bug part of their initial success, and they dumped us as soon as the money came in.

Hah, yikes. Kombucha wants oxygen anyway. Just cover it with a paper towel or coffee filter or something.
- Comment on FCC Denies Starlink Low-Orbit Bid for Lower Latency 11 months ago:
It goes to show that people are complex, and contain multitudes. Cherrypicking isn’t a bad thing. The older I get, the harder I find it to get along with strangers, because I’ll have some point of contention with them. :/

I can’t speak for the others but Dawkins has fallen into an anti-trans rabbithole lately and has said some pretty hateful stuff. :(

You can share lemmy posts on mastodon but not the other way around, I think.
- Comment on Never-before-seen Linux malware gets installed using 1-day exploits 11 months ago:
Linux has had a long history of worms and viruses, fortunately (sorta) thanks to its server legacy. Dumb and lazy server admins have given it pretty good ‘secure by default’ behaviours and cultures.
Desktop users though: while different set of challenges.
