That’s my take away from this. If I ask for a jack and coke or rum and coke, the “and coke” is just as important as the rest. Pepsi isn’t what I want. I would never give the OK to swap out the mixer. I’d rather just drink the liquor straight.
That said, Coke is actually a very complex drink. Which is readily apparent from the various DIY recipes that are floated online. Mixed alcoholic drinks aren’t nearly as complicated as Coke. That “with a bit of flavour” part is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Thank you for all the info! Been wondering about various things.
Zooming back, it feels like both the fedi and bluesky aren’t fully resolved yet and might influence each other and a possible further replacement.
For example, I like the PDS/repository idea and think it would help make migrating easier in the fedi. But I would like more granular control over what is shared to relays as opposed to everything.
It’s a joke that every spider, no matter what it looks like, will eventually be called a brown recluse (usually by someone who doesn’t know how to recognize a brown recluse)
Travis has an excellent video about the brown recluse. It goes into rather excruciating detail! He even covers the story about all the false attributions, including a map which shows how it comports with the spider’s range. Interestingly enough, people who live inside its range are much better at correctly recognizing the spider!
Honestly this sounds like a bit of a pickle. If I were in your situation I would just use one of the cellular carriers 5g internets. I personally use a T-Mobile 5g internet hotspot with a fresh tomato flashed nether 6700 plugged into it. Then I basically do all of my networking from that. Latency is a fair bit higher (usually about 30-50ms) but upload is significantly better than spectrum.
Couldn’t hide my disappointment at the end when they were like [strong female character] was created from the stories of over fifty different scientists…
Um… I don’t think it matters to me what the characters gender was, but it seemed like the least I could do since I wasn’t going to go back and look up the characters name.
I think you’re reading something into my comment I don’t intend? Strictly referring to a character Ulana Khomyuk from the HBO miniseries here.
That’s how many historical movies and contemporary shows work though. Like, we all know CSI techs aren’t clearing rooms like SWAT in real life. But the story is far easier to follow if we keep it to a few characters the audience knows.
For sure. And ultimately they gave credit where it was due, which is nice but it was a bit jarring. I think that means the filmmakers did their job well and crafted a character I could identify with.
Man, things sure have changed since I was in college. The university had one /15 and three /16s so every single ethernet port everywhere on campus had a publicly routable IP.
@SurpriZe If you're using Ubuntu 24.04, you may have a Firmware Updater app preinstalled. Try launching that and see if it can pull the firmware update from LVFS.
Failing that, I think the only safe way is to do the update from Windows. I generally recommend using Hiren's Boot CD PE for that sort of thing.
Yes. And depending on the the VM and the app, you can get a ‘seamless mode’ that looks like a native Linux app.
VMs work most of the time quite well if you have enough RAM. (The VM always works, some applications will detect unusual hardware and may complain, e.g. unsupported GPU. Any sane software should run, though (e.g. with gpu acceleration).)
This made me look up what the actual ratios of elemental composition in the human body are, and I learned we’re 67% oxygen by atomic mass, which makes sense, with only 9.5% hydrogen, but I still find that idea that we’re mostly oxygen oddly upsetting.
