@person Could you maybe explain in a nutshell what a 'gemini link' is in this case? I guess they're for using gemini:// but what software or purpose is that?

I tried to search... but all I got was astrology links, lol.

@wonderingdane@fosstodon.org I think there are a bunch of default emoji that every instance has in common. But each instance can also add their own set of custom emoji. I suppose you can ask your instance admin if they can add a specific emoji if you're missing one.

@person Heh, can confirm.

@thor Darth Vader wouldn't use those. He'd opt for red LEDs. I find your lack of faith disturbing...

(That said, yeah 'gaming rigs' are ugly. Some laptops can look nifty, but desktops? Nah, give me a boring black case. They're going under the desk anyway.)

@miya
Well, yes. This is the open source decentralized alternative to Twitter. What'd you expect?

@fribbledom Yet there seems to be a market for them, otherwise they'd not be made. Got to earn money after all. It's why I like indie games.

Bluh, blonde hair is very annoying to work with on a bright background... Thin blonde hair is even worse. This simply won't be able to look that good. #AffinityPhoto

Uuuurghhhhhh... My workstation at job has US International as input language. That means deadkeys galore! 😒

I don't want US International, Ï júst wànt ä stáñdârd ÜS lãÿóût! And of course I can't change this! This stupid thing is locked down tighter than Fort Knox.

Good thing I've got my own laptop for the programming jobs and serious typing, otherwise this would be utter torture. #Annoyances

If you're going to pose with a safety vest on, don't put your hands on your back. You're going to look like you have got no arms in the picture, and that looks exceedingly silly.
*Emails colleague to re-take that picture* :P

Yay, Outlook Web App. If you've got a thread opened in the email list, and you want to click on an unrelated email below to read that one... the thread collapses and you click on some very different email instead. Yay. :P #Microsoft #Annoyances

I'll never quite understand computers.

"Trinsec, can you help me? I've always used this configuration but now the digiboard suddenly won't react anymore."

So I went to check... I swapped the USB plug of the dock with the USB mouse. Presto, everything works again. Why? No fucking clue, but it works. :P

@thor Looks like Minions fighting.. but at highspeed.

@JonathanMBR Get some popcorn while you're at it. There are 3 movies: Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade. Rumors are that there is a 4th movie around, but we'll just ignore that since it's so bad...

If it's just about the scene with the snakes, Raiders of the Lost Ark is the one.

@piggo Just give yourself gifts all year!

@GMRaphi Asura are the best. ;)

I can't say that I'm enjoying the Rohan areas in The Lord of the Rings Online terribly much. It's large, the warsteeds are sluggish (as if you're driving a drifting oil tanker), and all those quests in that area are starting to look alike. I hope we're finishing up this map soon enough. Even in the movies I didn't like those horse folks. And I stopped reading the books when the fellowship encountered... you guessed it.. those horse folks. :P

I wouldn't mind eventually moving on to Helm's Deep or whatever comes next after this. I don't know, never been this far before. Last time I got pretty far was the Dunland area, and we're already way past that.

Come to think of it, Dunland wasn't that stellar either. The last real interesting area we've been in was Moria. I think that still might have been the pinnacle of this game and it all went downhill from there on. :P

It's only fun if you play it together with a buddy. It's a way to spend time together. And we can collectively moan about those stupid quests and NPCs. :P

@JonathanMBR Yeah. One of my favorite movies, it's so silly but also a nice adventure movie. I don't know what its status is over in the African continent, to be honest... The era those stories is played in is near WWII, and non-Western people weren't always shown in the best way, I suppose.

@methyltheobromine Before Q2 of this year, I would think. Since that's roughly when I started using Netflix. ;)

@methyltheobromine Oh. For me Netflix is red on a dark background. Is that an old style?
