Don't you know the poem? Water, water everywhere, so let's all have a drink.

So the opposite of Waterworld?

If they do another generation leap they should just copy Scotty's TNG appearance with O'Brien, shot for shot.

what's your favorite thing to put on fries that isn't ketchup? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Oh, no disrespect intended! Where I come from though we use cheese instead of curds, it's practically a national dish.

Cheese and gravy (not the Canadian thing)

I like it when they do that and also give you a free digital download code so you get both.

Damn, I used to like their crunch corners.

Not the whole country but Mallorca and the Canary Islands had similar protests. I do wonder how the south coast feels about all the Brits going there.

Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor in c/technology@lemmy.world

I degoogled to Proton mail initially. I didn't like that I couldn't search my emails (a security thing or something? But annoying) and then their Drive was absolutely useless on macos. I had about 100gb and it couldn't sync even half of it.

After much help from support I eventually moved away to a combo of Fastmail, Mega and OnlyOffice.

What will happen to all the USA TikTok creators once the ban on TikTok takes effect? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Same with Australia. Seems a bit disingenuous to say it's banned, it's a government worker policy.

As a Manxman I approve ๐Ÿ‘ I'm actually surprised how much of the Island is still there.

Can we say Tesla instead of EV? Normal cars (even EV) have normal handles.

Monterey on external SSD not showing in Startup Disk (aussie.zone)
submitted 10 months ago by alansuspect@aussie.zone to c/macos@lemmy.world

I have a 2015 iMac 21.5" that has slowly ground down to crawl. I had this great idea of installing macos on an external SSD (Kingston 2TB) and run it from there instead but no matter what I try I can't get it to work.

At first I downloaded the installer for Monterey but the HDD isn't great and it kept crashing and restarting partway through.

Then I tried installing to the SSD from Recovery (internet recovery wouldn't get past wifi choice so had to use non-internet) but even though the installation went ok it continued to boot from the HDD and in Startup Disk the SSD wouldn't show at all.

Then I made a USB boot stick and did the same steps above with the same result.

The SSD has GUID map and I tried both Mac OS and APFS formatted.

Does anyone have an idea what might be going wrong? Thanks in advance!

Local instance treated as remote (aussie.zone)

I'm not sure if I'm doing this wrong but when I browse Everything I can swipe posts away to hide them. But on my local instance when I swipe I get a message the post is on a remote instance. Is there a way to change this?

Installing Batocera (aussie.zone)
submitted 1 year ago by alansuspect@aussie.zone to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I've tinkered with Linux installations before but the last time I made changes to a BIOS it looked 8-bit, not like a windows program (I use Macs, for reference).

I have a Dell Inspiron 5502 (2021) that I just want to remove Windows from and install Batocera for gaming, but I can't figure out how to wipe it.

I'm running Batocera from USB but when I go to "Install on a new disk" there are no targets available. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
