Difference Between Nerd and Geek

Has anyone written a scientific treatise on the differences between nerd and geek?

On the one hand, I could instigate endless debate about the finer points of nerds.

On the other hand I could construct nerds with a 3-D meat printer.

Sluts, bloods, dweebies, dickheads… They love him! They think he’s a righteous dude.

To me, geek is associated with pop culture while nerd is more broad.

Cloning 800+ GB system from a 1TB SSD to a 2TB new SSD using Clonezilla, both are PCIEx4, needs about 1 hour. Thanks to Clonezilla, very simple and smooth.

Musk visited Bozeman, Montana, the other day. Using his other jet N272BG to draw less attention. The jet has now gone back to Austin.

@elonjet Is this site still alive? Zero chance Musk hasn't flown in 2 weeks+.

Got a Lenovo Duet 3 with ChromeOS. Had to put it in developer mode to use Fdroid.

Any virtual keyboard / on-screen keyboard recommendations for Gnome (Wayland) users? The default one doesn't support X11/XWayland apps, which unfortunately is most of them...

Pantherina ,

Yes poorly. The input method protocol was done by Purism (which says something as that company seems dead or whatever) and then basically untouched.

gwendolencopper OP ,

@Excigma I can swipe up to force the keyboard to appear, but pressing the keys does nothing in X11 apps (which use XWayland under Wayland), like Chromium browsers or KeepassXC

@WelshAdventurer asks about cycles that may help somebody with a mobility disability get exercise and get around:

Q6. My partner is disabled and can’t walk far due to problems with her foot and back. She is getting frustrated with not being able to exercise and get out of the house. She is looking at getting an electric bike. Does anyone have experience of them? Particularly of using them with a mobility disability? We are in the UK.

@ascentale @WelshAdventurer A6. I'm a disabled cyclist who has ridden 3 different cycles with e-assist. The first two were bikes I already owned that I added e-assist to and the cargo quadricycle came with it.

I would very much recommend them to someone with a mobility disability as they not only extend the range you can go, but as long as you make sure your battery is charged when you embark on a ride, you feel more secure that you can get home safely even if you're completely knackered.

@ascentale @WelshAdventurer Disabled cyclists in the UK should definitely hook up with Wheels for Wellbeing, a kind of group I wish we had in the US. https://wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/

Basically, I cannot recommend e-cycles enough. But not all mobility disabilities are the same so if you have specific questions, I can try to answer. @bikenite @disability

the YouTube video is a psychiatrist former Stanford professor Bernadette Gosjean(Auti) Excellent history and picture of autism a clinical update last year, still 🥰

If you are autistic or have a family member who has you may want to watch this:
Raise awareness and share away. I shared with my doctor and they truly appreciated it.

Cory, as always on a tear

“ You ask Amazon, "What's your cheapest batteries?" and it lies to you. If you click the first link in a search-results page, you'll pay 29% more than you would if you got the best product – a product that is, on average, 17 places down on the results page.”

Capitalism is premised on markets with price transparency, at least by the marquee claims made in econ101.

I want to point out another distinction, neoclassical economics refuses to respond to explicit evidence, both mathematical and empirical, that their theories are garbage. I don't know how many science departments get away with that.

Just bought a AMD 7840HS 16G 1T laptop as a gift for the upcoming birthday of my 8 years old son, should I wipe off the pre-installed windows 11 and install OpenBSD on it? My son will only use it for Python programming and some paper work, occasionally gaming. Not sure if OpenBSD can handle the new hardware properly, if not, maybe I should try Manjaro or other Arch based Linux on it.
