I don’t think tablets are fully supported but I see gnome devs continuing to make steady progress there. Stoked for a future where (real) open source catches up to phones and tablets, we are close…
America is the center of the world, hate all you want. This is the cutting edge today. Hollywood is the dominant music/media power. Silicon valley is the dominant technology power. NY is the dominant financial hub. The hippie cultural revolution was largely here, and the civil rights revolutions that inform modern morals. America spends more on military than the rest of the world combined, and therefore has massive influence
So that’s my context for being here. I was born pretty far away in Europe, which is great in its own ways. But if you really want to play the game at the highest level, America is the place to do it. Everyone else is just trying to catch up. Or they are enjoying a happy low stress life of wine and women with a high standard of living and low inequality — which are definitely unamerican ideals XD
Well im kinda opposed to the supreme court as a concept, it didn’t even exist early on in American history, but it is what it is. The other laws will have to fall in like or Congress will have to act
Idk overall more jury trials sounds better than judges just getting to decide. I know it’s less efficient and longer, but seems to increase the chances of decisions being made with some humanity, rather than political bias in terms of appointments
(Not that I really know what I’m talking about)
My understanding is that the time dilation effect is point of reference based. So to an external viewer, they would see you slow down and then fade away, red shifted, because the light has a harder and harder time escaping the pull of gravity. From your perspective it may be business as normal, not even particularly noticable (maybe)
What actually happens to you is anyone’s guess currently. The classic view is that with a big enough black hole, you could safely pass the event horizon and explore a very weird region of space where everything (including light) is flowing in one direction. However, since hawking, physics has wrestled with the black hole information paradox — since black holes emit hawking radiation and shrink, is it that you’re duplicated inside and outside? Are the two selves entangled? Do those entanglements rip apart? Or do you get disintegrated and stored on the surface? Is there an energetic barrier around the event horizon? Do you stop being 3D? Does time and space switch roles? Can you exit through a bridge to another part of the universe? Yep, we don’t really know
Recommend PBS Spacetime on YT if you want to explore the theories
Oh wow, I really didn’t expect this, and aside from all the problems with sex trafficking, this is a huge win for privacy… for now
Facepalm again and again every time my non technical boss asks me if Ive been using genai to speed up my work. No boss, I haven’t, that actually slows me down
I guess reading the history, systemd did a better job of dependency resolution and parallel loading of startup services. Then some less interesting stuff like logins, permissions, and device management - which definitely seems out of scope. There’s been like 15 alternatives since it was made, but none of them got critical mass, and now pretty much every mainstream distro can’t run without it. Sad face
While I’m here complaining, I really miss the days when Arch was configured from a single global file that handled many things like setting your hostname, locale, etc. I think it was dropped bc of maintenance & being not unixy enough. Kinda ironic
I mean that argument is ridiculous, saying that things are “documented” when the thing is literally called tmpfiles.d and the man page starts with the following explanation:
It is mostly commonly used for volatile and temporary files and directories (such as those located under /run/, /tmp/, /var/tmp/, the API file systems such as /sys/ or /proc/, as well as some other directories below /var/).
So basically some genius decided that its a good idea to reuse this system for creating non-tmp directories. Overall my opinion of systemd is reluctant acceptance though I always wondered why the old way was a problem. Need a service started on boot? Well, we had crontab and sysvinit with some plain files. Need a service shut down? Well that’s the kill command. I guess I don’t really know why systemd was made
Cambridge dictionary for “id”:
abbreviation for identification: any official card or document with your name and photograph or other information on it that you use to prove who you are:
Do you have any ID? A driver’s license or check card will do.
My question is different: what kinda psycho abbreviates “id” as I.D.? And then followup, who collapses the period into it to make “I.D?”
Id is identification, that’s one word. This isn’t an acronym. So arguably if anything if would be abbreviated with an apostrophe or maaaybe a single period at the end. Anyway English is weird
I used to think lawns were dumb but then I moved to a place where if you don’t take care of your yard, it’s just overrun with bugs and weeds. Planting too many trees makes things damp and miserable, open areas are key, but that’s where stuff grows. Most plants can’t survive being mowed, but grass loves it, and the birds can pick out insects when it’s low. So now I like lawns, it’s the human version of a meadow. And I don’t see an alternative, other than growing an extra long beard, converting myself in mud, and becoming a druid
Well, US is doing exactly this too. It doesn’t appear so incoherent - from a perspective of achieving objectives while attempting to reduce casualties. (And making a ton of money in the process)
I think you can use openjdk just fine & basically oracle is trying to wring the last bits of cash out of a dying language. I’m so sad Java was ever used for anything, it’s a garbage fire
Is it possible to run the android app on Linux somehow? Hmm…
Steal an unloved kitten and give her a good home
Hey don’t shame ppl for normal variance in sex drive. Being horny is not a disease
It’s a shame that the early seasons of SG1 were just plastic guns in a forest, bc the story/lore is so cool but I can’t really recommend it anymore to first timers. Not the q I know
Neovide yeah - helpful for partner programming so it’s not warping around
