Of course. It is/was my favorite purely based on the design of the front page.

At this point I can’t really afford to be picky, so any invite is a welcome one. So I can actively avoid using it, of course…

Can’t wait to hear Trumps appointees’ arguements as to why the president is above the law and not realize this means Biden too

what is a skill you wish you had, and why?

Ok, I might as well go first: I wish I could draw. Not at the level where I could make photorealistic portraits, but I’ve always been envious of those who are able to scetch something together in a few minutes that perfectly captures what they want to convey. Sometimes words aren’t enough to express what I want to say, and...

neidu OP ,

I’m a hobbyist programmer myself. I’ve picked up a few languages along the way, and by far the best approach I have found to learning is a simple but real practical use case. Find the smallest task you want your program to do, break it down into even smaller subsections, and then start to figure out how to transform it into code. It usually takes less code and knowledge about a language than you think.

neidu OP ,

I’m a guitarist myself. Piano is certainly up there on the list of skills I wish I had.

neidu OP ,

Any particular languages?

neidu OP ,

I was like that once. I solved it by quitting my job for a less stressful one.

I’m having a hard time imagining that creating shareholder value was ever a motivation for those working on the floor.

Yes.

The internet. Web2.0 made everything worse with trackers and three companies running almost everything.

Sounds like your circle is growing apart. It happens. In this particular case, some personalities have grown enough to not be compatible with some of the others.

I’m not good at situations like these, so I don’t really have a solution for you, other than accepting the fact that your circle of six will soon no longer be six. Stick to the ones who are still reasonable, and with time the toxic ones will either remain so among themselves or will push away the part of the group that is more in line with how you’re perceiving the social dynamic.

neidu ,

Can confirm. It was common here in Norway. My dad got most of his news updates and weather forcasts from there, as he was usually busy during the evening news broadcast.

Agreed. While I tend to disagree with most of the viewpoints coming from lemmygrad, at least the content is posted with benign intent. The room might stink, but nobody intentionally shat on the floor.

Do they have that new car(t) smell?

Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

Now i’ve been considering moving to linux. I don’t have much of a history using a computer and find it tougher to use than my phone. But I also really appreciate the foss movement. I’ve currently got an old laptop running windows 11 I think and it would prolly speed up with linux too. But I’m afraid I’d fuck smth up...

neidu ,

Create a linux mint install USB. When you boot from it, you’ll be in a fully functional linux OS, without installing anything. This way you can try it out before making a commitment.

Although a recurring recommendation is to install linux on a second PC to try it for a while.

There’s this group that provides Christmas meals for people who otherwise wouldn’t have one. Homeless people et al.

It’s pretty cheap and easy to donate - send an SMS to a number and get billed a small sum on the next phone bill, and the cost is enough to cover said meal for two people.

My work phone bill is sent and automatically paid my employer, so I make sure they donate to the same cause. I’ve been doing it for years and to this day no employer has gone on the record not in support of the cause.

I just grab whatever gets a scene release on my preferred piracy site, provided that it does not involve superheroes or something else that has saturated screens for the past 15 years. And when I find myself on an airplane I look through what I have on my portable USB drive and pick something, mostly at random, because I like knowing as little as possible about a movie before watching it, to the point where I consider trailers to be spoilers.

I just refer to them as AP, as the wireless aspect is implied; A wired AP is called a switch.

Tesla Cybertruck's stiff structure, sharp design raise safety concerns - experts (www.reuters.com)

Tesla Cybertruck’s stiff structure, sharp design raise safety concerns - experts::The angular design of Tesla’s Cybertruck has safety experts concerned that the electric pickup truck’s stiff stainless-steel exoskeleton could hurt pedestrians and cyclists.

It could be a good vehicle, if it was built by someone else.

The past few years have revealed that while Tesla have the tech, they lack the basic precision manufacturing that other automakers mastered decades ago.

Am I to understand that the cable use has multiple cores within a single cladding? Interesting approach…

Now we get to classify them as singlemode, multimode, and multiestmode.

Similar attitude by the HoI devs caused me to buy HoI2 and every new release after that.

It’s not so much paradox endorsing piracy as it was them not caring and thus releasing it without any form of DRM or even install features beyond copying files. This meant that grabing it off of someone else was just drag&drop from a network share, and then double click to play.

If you had a one-way ticket to Jan 1, 1999 that departs on Jan 1, 2024, and you are allowed to bring whatever fits into a backpack with you, what would you bring to use to take over the world, and how would you use it? (kbin.social)

Assume that the future can change based on your actions, so any historical information that you bring along with you from the intervening 25 years may quickly drift out of the new realities history....

Great song
Great buildup
Epic guitar solo

EDIT: Seems my suggestion is somewhat popular, so in case it wasn’t already known, the entire album, Lun, is amazing.

I learned once upon a time that a healthy person needs about three weeks to starve to death if they have water. Not sure how accurate it is as it’s part of the rule of three mnemonic; 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food. However, it does at least seem reasonably plausible, so we can use that as a baseline.

Now, beer does have some nutrients, but far from enough of the ones you need. It has to be balanced with water to be able to burn the alcohol without dehydrating yourself. I would therefore think that the beer in moderate amounts might help some, but not a lot. Four weeks total, maybe?

neidu ,

A really obese person wouldn’t be considered healthy, though.

After driving the same 1995 car for 20 years, me and my gf agreed yesterday that it’s perhaps time to buy a new car… some time during the next 6 months.

neidu ,

Already checked the price of the car I want, and they’re reasonable compared to my income. And i probably don’t live anywhere near you.

neidu ,

Near-ish. I’m not in .nl, though. But not too far away.
