Laptops have soul

I've got a 23-year-old netbook that slowly perished under the weight of windows. I've got some lightweight Linux distro on it and its absolutely fucking fine.

I resurrected it specifically to use as a digital reference guide for electronics, and to program my new Arduino. It can even barely load Firefox (exclusive) OR play videos!

Tldr is: Buy old electronics. Use better software.

Ubuntu mod team takes anti-queer "Don't say gay" stance.

Reply in thread

Holy Hell! The twists! (spoilers) I couldn't believe when an Ubuntu mod said "if we let you say you're queer, we would also have to let people say they hate you and want you dead." I was even more shocked when they were acting appropriately- Nazis are a protected class at Ubuntu (this is only a little hyperbolic and also that's all the spoilers)

I've never heard a GM actively try to shut players up. Usually its the opposite lol. Unless something like "My character sings [sentence]" works, I don't think I would be able to participate.

I am guessing the idea is to induce terror in the holder such that, if they did not intend to hold a vial of Co 60, they would not mess with it further. It conveys the appropriate level of danger, if not an appropriate set of handling instructions.

Edit: So I looked it up and I misunderstood: if you can read that (especially by the blue glow) then its rapidly killing you. I really don't understand how dangerous some radiation is lmao.
