Did my first stint in VR! Had a ton of fun, but honestly it's probably a good thing my headset was running low on battery, probably needed a break at that point haha

Gotta do more!

Where the #ICQ „Uh-Oh“ sound really came from: Not Worms or Lemmings, as some are telling you. Instead Windows 3.0 MultiMedia Edition from 1991 contains the exact same sample as „ohoh.wav“. #retrocomputing #windows #1990s

I'm seeing a fair few posts from people who have installed Linux for the first time.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do.

And if you don't, that's fine. You can always revert to whatever you were using before, and try again some point in the future.

If you are struggling, don't struggle alone. Ask for help (ideally saying what distro and version, and if there's an error message or some logs, a copy of those), and hopefully another friendly user can step in.

Genuinely, welcome.

lol turns out the reason why hand sewing hurt so much is because I was doing it wrong; I was holding the needle between my thumb and middle finger rather than thumb and index finger.

After much fiddling and a rather stressful debug session

Goon

Now in full VR

Remember how Winamp recently said they’re opening the source code “enabling the entire community to participate in its development”.

Well…

Why would people bother to contribute then? Open source licenses exist for a reason.

Anyone at got a sewing machine I can use for an hour or so? ^^

Hand sewing went okay but jeez my hand, haha. Managed to do one and had to stop.

@renbymon That one's been going by for a while, but the fake Discord letter is a new one.

I can see a few scam hallmarks there, though -- these turn up often:
"This must only be investigated by us", ie. don't tell anyone.
"State's federal law team" to give it an air of officialdom
"12-hr timeframe" - to try and get you to rush through without thinking
And finally, the crap English and misuse of long words!

The first two are to try and stop the victim from finding out it's a scam.

Just an FYI, if you get a message like this from someone on discord then it’s a scam.

I just got this and it set off alarm bells; why would discord ask someone to message me instead of messaging me directly?

A few minutes of googling and I confirmed that 1) discord does not deal with violations in this way and 2) that it’s a scam to steal your account and likely some money too.

This is how discord deals with violations: support.discord.com/hc/en-us/a
