Wasn't me. But downvotes are great when used appropriately. We want shit that isn't worth reading to get filtered to the bottom. A joke that isn't worth reading. Off topic shit that isn't a relevant tangent. Spam. Uncalled for rudeness.

But that shouldn't mean every opinion that disagrees with your own.

Maybe downvotes should be limited. I don't know that there's a good technical way to fix this issue.

Hey, it worked once before.

Well, we did it once before anyway.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world -1 points 17 hours ago

I get that you do not have to upvote something you disagree with, but we shouldn't downvote this guy for an honest, different opinion. That's how you create a hive mind.

And if it did smell like weed near the MRI place, you know what I'd suspect? That's a venn diagram with cancer patients in the middle.

You really want to crack down on cancer patients?

Its Ubuntu 24.04. When I started it, it took quite awhile and then said "there as a problem, please log out".

Now that I've got it started (where I'm posting from now), it still refuses to arrange my monitors. And I have no idea what this 5th, 13.3" monitor is supposed to be.

It looks like my issues are related to this hardware. I guess that's understandable. I thought this hardware would be transparent to the OS, and apparently it's not.

If I hit apply here, it will fail and put them back in a line. I'll also get around 4 fps and no cursor on the additional monitors.

I installed a fresh copy of, I believe, Debian. Wayland, for some reason, couldn't handle 4 monitors, with one above the other three.

Not the issue I expected on a fresh install. Oh, and the biggest issue I had with Windows was copied straight into Linux. I want my (single) taskbar on a monitor that isn't my primary.

I'm currently back to Windows. It was already going to be a rough transition, and missing the ideas I was looking for while also adding complications just hasn't made it worth it.

Turns out you can't just do everything you want with 45% to barely 50% of the seats. Especially when you're the big tent party of everyone sane.

You think West Virginia was ever going to vote against coal? They did more than I would have expected.

Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.

They never allowed people to use it. There was a wait-list. It never opened afaik outside of Mozilla people.

Which don't exactly have the name recognition of The New York Times.

Because Mastodon needs a reliable instance with a catchy domain name. Maybe even the slightest bit of advertising.

Someone reputable could make a real Twitter competitor for about $2m a year these days.

I'd say Mozilla, but they just took all their social media funding away and threw it at AI. Genius.

Oh that's not what he left her. Still requires treatment.

I played long, long ago and I'm toying with the idea of casually coming back. However, I've heard that the cost to play has skyrocketed. From what I can see the most basic, standard decks start at around $500, and only go up from there.

I'm not interested in coming back if it means spending several thousand dollars a year.

Say if you were to just buy boxes as the new sets came out, how many boxes would you likely have to buy in a year to be able to build a couple distinct decks?

Is 2v2 money drafting still a thing? When does the next base set start?

Any other commentary or advice is welcome. Let me know if this is buying a boat.
