PillowD@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an interesting fact you learned recently?3·2 months agoIf you are lost in the wilderness and a plane comes in to look check on you, do not pump your fist in the air. That is the signal you are fine and don’t need help. Learned it in a recent Mr. Ballen youtube.
PillowD@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is Lemmy so US-centric? The largest instances are in Europe, aren't they? So why does it have to be US news trolling as if it were Reddit?5·2 months ago“We’re the most powerful country in the world for a few more years!” – Homer Simpson
PillowD@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are movie recap videos overdone on platforms like youtube?2·2 months agoI like watching them myself, 10 or 15 minutes to hit all the major plot points of a movie I’m never going to watch anyway.
PillowD@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•how many people came to this platform due to leaving / being banned from Reddit?1·2 months agoI quit commenting at that site long ago but still lurk occaisionally in some technical sr’s. It became too mean.
I so want to be in the Al Gore timeline. Bush picked up 3 electoral votes by lying to Nevada about yucca mountain, Ralph Nader siphoned off Dem votes, and one of the ‘stop the count’ rioters is now on the supreme court. Fuck the nazi bastard Rush Limbaugh who went from 1 station to 50 with no advertisers. Fuck Rupert Murdoch who got US citizenship just to by more media outlets. Fuck Scalito. Fuck the ‘both sides’ mainstream media. Fuck the washington post, its credibility died when KMG did. Fuck the repubs who pretended to care so much about little Elian. I swear to god I’m still in one of the matrix battery pods. Get me out of here Morpheus.

PillowD@lemmy.worldto Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•I found this keyboard for like $3 and it’s perfect2·2 months agoLooks like it’s based on the IBM Model M. Used ones go for a couple hundred on ebay. The key feel, click and travel are very satisfying if noisy to type on.
PillowD@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What computer life hacks are your most used?71·2 months agoLinux. Windows is used for Russian oligarchs.
Since people are expecting windows shortcut keys, I nominate TAB navigation. Hitting tab will cycle the focus through all the buttons and edit boxes. Shift Tab to go backwards.

I was thinking the album yes fragile. Check it out on on youtube. The song roundabout if nothing else.
