Why are they addressing him as President Trump? Isn't he still just a candidate or do they know something we don't yet? 😏
@Hyperhidrosis
He wants his ear back!
@splitshockvirus @eric
Are you guys joining in or not? The trick is to load cpma — either by passing the "+set fs_game cpma" to the binary or choosing CPMA in the mods menu, then using "connect Quake.m0xEE.Net"
@splitshockvirus Man, I'm running a Quake 3 dedicated server on a shitty 32-bit ARM machine — so shitty that bots running on my own local server can frag me mid-air!
I've even compiled a pack so that everyone could join: http://Quake.m0xEE.net/ioquake3/q3pack.zip
But that @eric dude bailed out: "Oh, sorry — I'm only playing Half-Life single player mode" — all that!
When are we going for some real shit? Tell me!
@iska
I would sell my soul for Marlboros now, but I'm too lazy to go outside — so I'd cons0x00m a couple more beers instead and go to sleep 😴
@kaia
I have once made that joke to impress female colleague in a flirty way: "His disk is floppy, my disk is hard" — in our late thirties we were still laughing at it: the joke got so much cringe — but it didn't make it less funny.
Be careful with that 😅
@kaia
Hitler floppy disk? 😲
@theorytoe
Okay, you have survived the point, the line, and now — the plane!
What do you expect us to do next, to launch you into space? That is kinda expensive, you know 😏
@FortyTwo
That was a joke to make the point 😄
I was never a proponent of having optical drives — I have like… 3 external ones, including Firewire one, but I'm "retro" enough to never realise they are now gone — when I want to record a CD or DVD, I just take a spare one out of those high "cans" — I don't even know what I'd do once I run out. I know that it's no longer true, but I have the expectation that these are still being sold — I just never run out, I still have plenty 😂
@FortyTwo
Last year?
Why was it for the last time, I still have a 100 pack of them and both drives even in this computer are working fine? 🤔
@icedquinn
Well, I can't stand all the technology that progressed too much, can I have my old technology back — the one that has progressed just far enough? 🤔
@nus@mstdn.social

It's not ad-ridden, you can still opt-out, but it's concerning — it was a harsh (and somewhat vague) reference to this: https://gladtech.social/@cuchaz/112775302929069283
Latest Firefox ESR hasn't been around long enough, people don't realise what using it means — that was my original point.
@newt
You're lucky they sell quality soil for home plants around your parts, because what they sell nowadays here is beyond fucked — one of my plants died after being moved to a different pot, I just couldn't save it — it got covered by some mold and shit. But the worst part — it seems to have spread to other plants! And I'm no expert when it comes to this stuff either — the only thing I've learned: this can get complicated, not crows and fucking pigeons only, plants have their own diseases 😢
@Tony
This is a trial version of what we have in Russia — they call explosions (including major ones) "pops" here!
I'm kidding you not! For the lack of better source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavovna
The article is mostly about the war in Ukraine, but it started much earlier — the article mentions that.
These euphemism are bad and transform the society in real ugly ways, it was an important stepping stone to calling the war "special military operation".
@newt
Man, of course not, I was just trying to compliment you! You're not a botanist, you'd never be one — don't even attempt to take credit for that! Look at him — the crows have eaten his violets and he didn't even blow their brains out! LAUGH AT HIM!!! And now he's supposed to grow a rose — a rose for Christ's sake, are you kidding me?!!!
Didn't like that — well, of course you didn't, why were you supposed to? That is why I didn't say that. Grow roses, be cool! 😁
@newt
You're a gentleman and a botanist! 🧐
@MNNHNewsEnglish
Joe Biden can raise the dead? 😱
Guys, we have one powerful necromancer here — the only choice you have is either you vote for him or become human sacrifice. Resistance is futile!
@Hyperhidrosis
That's not a disease, that's an evolutionary advantage.
Sorry, it was there first 🤷
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
