Been very happy running Manjaro, which is based on Arch.

World News@lemmy.world•US says UFO sightings likely secret military testsEnglish
10·3 years agoWhy is it so hard to understand that an Unidentified Flying Object is simply something flying that the observer doesn’t know what it is. We know that the aerospace industry makes new planes, and that many of these are secret designs that we don’t have clearance to know about. Thus, many, if not all, UFOs are simply classified aircraft. Simple.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a word for the phenomena where everyone benefits from design decisions made to help vulnerable populations?English
464·3 years agoWhen closed captioning for TVs was being rolled out by government mandate in the US, there was widespread anger over having the cost of a TV increase by $0.25 for everyone for a feature that would only help a few. I was sickened by the callousness.

1·3 years agoSeason 0 is hard. There were a few months where we only won on the last possible turn (won during my turn when there was only 1 card to draw, so we’d if my turn ended and I had to draw 2 cards)

1·3 years agoWe haven’t played Season 2 yet, but have the box ready. Technically its a present for my wife (shhh! it’s a secret). Yes, I know that it won’t be as good, and have adjusted expectations accordingly.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people wear shoes inside the house?English
10·3 years agoI have to wear orthotics in my shoes. I can’t wear them without shoes. One day without shoes had led to months of pain.
OK. We played season 1 to have a sense of agency during the pandemic. And yes, I know it’s still going on. Stay safe out there.

Oh, it’s for North Koreans who vacation in other parts of North Korea. Because they can’t vacation in South Korea.

boardgames@feddit.de•Having a blast with Pandemic Season 0English
11·3 years ago??? You’re on month 4 (April)? There’s only 1 year, from January to December. Or am I missing something big? We’re going to play March today.
We played Season 1 a few years ago. Our last game led to us winning with only 1 card left in the player deck. Nail-biting. May get 2 later on.
This was the first song on my “burnout” playlist.
Thanks. Didn’t know you could take out more VP chips when passing the end of game threshold.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song?English
21·3 years agoAs an atheist, I don’t like religious xmas music. But I love these songs based on the Cthulhu Mythos. The HP Lovecraft Historical Society did a fantastic job on them! I have 2 CDs of xmas holiday music from them (much more than this playlist has), and an adaptation of The Fidder on the Roof called A Shoggoth on the Roof.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Can someone explain me how RAID works?English
1·3 years agoRaid 5 is parity, not parody 😀. Each drive contains part of the information of the other drives, so that if any one of the drives dies, you can still get all the information (it will just be slower until you replace it and the system rebuilds the data on the new drive).
