Project: Wake Up Garry! Is still $355 short of its goal!

In case you missed my previous post I'm hosting a fundraiser to get Garry to come back so players can get the "Yes, I am the real garry!" achievement.

We've got four days left before the end of the fundraising goal, and we're still a bit short.

If you haven't donated yet, now is the perfect time. All proceeds go to Child's Play, a charity who help provide comfort to children in hospitals and domestic abuse shelters around the world.

If you can't donate, but want to help out (or go the extra mile) like the video and share it around, hijacking the algorithm is a good way of getting the word out.

Thank you in advance!

Please donate if you can:

(remember, all donations are made in USD, not in your local currency)

We're raising money for charity by trying to unlock the impossible Garry's Mod achievement: "Yes, I am the real Garry!"

Hey everyone,

A few years ago I started a Steam Group with one goal, to figure out how to get Garry Newman’s attention and convince him to come back for a day, so people could finally earn the "Yes, I am the real Garry!" achievement legitimately.

I tried reaching out a few times, but never got through. So instead of waiting forever, I decided to make something positive out of it.

I’ve launched a Tiltify fundraising event for Child’s Play. We’re already sitting at $484 USD raised, and I’d love for more Garry's Mod fans to get involved.

For the uninitiated, Child’s Play is a charity that provides games, consoles, and entertainment to children’s hospitals and domestic violence shelters around the world. It’s been helping kids escape difficult realities through play for over 20 years, something every gamer can relate to.

If you want to take part or just support the cause, here’s the link:

Even if Garry dismisses our attempt at grabbing his attention, we'll still be doing some good in the world.

Where do you draw the line?

Obviously we don't eat products which are the result of non-human animal exploitation, but are you willing to:

  • Buy "vegan" products made using the same manufacturing equipment? (Conveyer belts for example, resulting in near certain contamination).
  • Buy vegan products made by the same company which produces non-vegan products? (Buying fries from McDonalds, resulting in more capital for McD's exploitation).
  • Buy vegan products from non-vegan grocery stores? (Pretty hard to avoid for most people, especially those on low income).

Curious to know where everyone stands on this.

Banned shows and approved shows (for young children)

Also, why?

Banned shows:

  • Paw Patrol - Seems soulless, I haven't watched much, but there seems something very wrong about it. Intuitively, I feel like my kid shouldn't watch it (though, I can could be convinced I'm wrong, if I am)
  • Cocomelon - objectively soulless - don't try to convince me that this show is anything but toddler crack.

Approved:

  • Sesame Street
  • Bluey

Both of the above shows seem to me like they are made with care and have the best interests to teaching children good morals and language skills.

Is it worth switching to BTRFS for the average user?

I'm having trouble understanding all the benefits of BTRFS and how they'll apply to me.

Copy on Write and auto-compression seem like they will free up a bit of space.

What other practical benefits will I see from using BTRFS? Are there any noticeable performance benefits?

I use my computer to dual-boot. I don't need snapshots because I have a custom script for a fresh install. I use my PC for gaming and work. I've got an NVMe, two SSD's and one HDD.

Thanks in advance!

Suggestion: custom buttons

Right now we've got share, bookmark, upvote and down vote.

But I share and bookmark less than I block communities (curating my feed), and hide posts (so I can refresh without scrolling past the same stuff).

The latter two are in the extras menu. It would be great if I could swap these buttons.

Thanks for all your work! This is my favourite Lemmy app!
