This is honestly the only reason to buy a gift card especially at Costco. They often sell gift cards for 20% off their face value.

These are all good points but the biggest reason I HATE gift cards is because they offer ZERO protection.
Buy something with a credit card and you often get double warranty protection included. That something gets damaged or stolen? Also protected.
Gift cards offer none of that. Neither does cash but at least I can use cash to pay off the credit card.
I get that a gift card is more personable and it earmarks the funds for a particular store. If you like gift cards, then cheers and go about your merry way.
I’ve emphatically told my loved ones that I never want a gift card. You want me to use the money somewhere specific? Just say so and I’ll do it.
But don’t give me a script that I can only use in one place and might lose.
I think it should be whatever the age is to be able to work a job.
You pay taxes at 14 years old because your asshole of a governor got paid by the meat packing industry? You get to vote.
Creative Commons-BY-NC would be better.
I believe that there is a project that aims to do just this but I can’t remember its name.
How “scriptable” is virt-manager?
My biggest issue with VirtualBox is that I have to install OSes as if I’m actually installing them. There aren’t any images (at least that I’m aware of) that can run with a command, like deploying an EC2.
Uses telescope to observe Mars
Yup, that’s round.
Is taken up into space to look down at the round Earth
No, it’s still flat. The windows are curved to make it look round.
Is taken to Mars with the same telescope and it’s pointed at Earth
The glass on the telescope is round, which makes the Earth look round.
I am pretty okay with regex. Enough that I can do what I want.
sed/awk I’ve used on occasion, usually sed to change something in a pipeline.
I still feel like I’m casting a demon.
I swear whenever I see sed/awk commands, it looks like I’m about to summon the demon beast.
This right here. I know lemmy is all “LINUX IS FOR EVERYONE!” But it isn’t.
I know this would go against Google’s self interest but they are best poised to make Linux mainstream. Chrome OS can play android games natively. But it’s all close source.
It wouldn’t take much to make the ecosystem for general Linux. I don’t know if the other android-based OSes are working on this but anything we can do to push gaming into Linux would help it to become a better everyday OS
Crossover cable.
I still have one around just in case but wifi makes it unnecessarily these days.
It must have gotten better than the last time I tried to use Ventoy. Maybe 5 years ago? It kept complaining that the USB drive I was using was bad when it worked completely fine with other tools.
Yup. It booted fine but after a few reboots, bpool somehow got corrupted and refused to boot. It happened repeatedly after several reinstalls.
I love ZFS but support for it on Ubuntu seems haphazard. It works fine for non-root drives.
I’ve tried running it as my root partition and just gave up after it fucked up my bpool dataset too many times.
I actually really liked the book over the movie. I felt like the book did a much better job of describing the dystopian world and how the MC (can’t remember his name and too lazy to look it up) and the world at large more or less dealt with it.
Iirc the movie doesn’t even go into the history of the digital world and why the MC was obsessed with it. I get that movies and books are different but it seemed like the movie was “inspired” by the book and not based on it.
If you set up using compose and don’t have the version pinned:
dockee compose down && docker compose pull jellyfin && docker compose up -d
