Margot Robbie

I vote for the new name to be Margot Linux.

Strange woman here, anyone knows where I can buy swords in bulk, preferably with a pond thrown in? It’s for… a personal project.

Well. There goes my business plan of selling body part flavored candles and butt coffee.

That’s esteemed Academy Award nominated great dude Margot Robbie to you!

(Dude is gender neutral now)

Nothing. Literally nothing. Bad gifts are for annoying close friends, any amount of effort put into a gift for your father would imply that you care what he thinks.

:(

I like Margot Robbie.

:)

but I also have no interest in watching it again.

:(

Shh… I’m astroturfing.

I’d like to think so, most of the time.

But one of the important lesson I learned is that you can’t be too nice at work, you have to put your foot down sometimes, otherwise people would just walk all over you and nothing gets done.

I don’t like it, but it is what it is.

Fellow lemmings, I, for one, would spend that 15 dollars on a copy of the “Barbie” movie on Blu-ray and digital, because nothing would make me happier.

just includes his signature foot shots

To be fair, those foot shots are … as good as foot shots can be, at least.

Sigh.

The Japanese car companies put all their eggs in the hydrogen basket, despite their early head start in EV with the Toyota Prius and such, and as hydrogen looks to be more and more of a dead end due to transportation and safety concerns, of course they are going to be sandbagging EV adoption to buy time and catch up.

Boeing has generally been one of the lynchpins of China-US trade relationship, and with both the current geopolitical climate and the ongoing quality issues of Boeing aircrafts, of course the Chinese airlines would want to hedge their bets and take a risk on domestically produced jets, even if it is new and relatively unproven at this point. It doesn’t mean that they will stop buying from Airbus or Boeing completely, though.

The C919 uses many American/European produced components/subsystem, most notably the CFM LEAP engines, which is also used by both Airbus and Boeing.

Suicide Squad. 😢

Companies are not stupid and will rarely ever pay you to do nothing, so if you suddenly find yourself with nothing to do at work and not being handed any new projects, they are probably thinking of letting you go and it’s probably time to look for a new job.

“American actress Jaime Presley from North Carolina” is one of my more successful characters, all I had to do was a Southern American accent and people think I’m a completely different person.

Then again, nobody ever expects an actress to be playing the role of another actress.

The main factor is discoverability.

There are no shortage of creative or funny people on Mastodon, however, Mastodon’s feed algorithm do not allow them to be discovered unless you happen to stumble upon them by happenstance, whereas it is quite easy to be seen on Lemmy by posting good content: it’s rare when I don’t get any upvotes or downvotes on a comment here, and good replies are fairly common, so the interaction quality here is generally higher.

“Mate” is always a good option, I wish it’s used more universally in the States, too.

“GNU is Not Unix Image Manipulation Program Tool Kit” is still a better name for GTK than “GIMP ToolKit”.

It’s a name that will definitely raise some eyebrows in the less technically inclined circles. (and maybe a few “Pulp Fiction” references about “bring out the gimp”)

The best search I found is by asking questions to real people in forums such as this one. It’s way slower than getting an immediate answer for a question, but the signal to noise ratio is higher.

This is the reason why I think Google is prioritizing reddit so much in recent years, because reddit became one of the only places where you can get real people (well, relatively speaking more than most other parts of the Internet) answering all kind of questions.

Speak for yourself, I first got on Lemmy to promote a movie, and the next thing I know, I was using Arch (BTW) and moderating an Android community.

I’m still not quite sure how that happened. This place.
