Sir, this is Lemmy.

“We’ve forgotten how to use computers - The hex keypad is sorely missed”

Remember (if you can) the classic drag-and-drop: You’d mouse over to a file or a folder, click to slide the icon to the trash, then release to drop it in.

Did anyone everr do that though ?

Is there a scientific ,logical or theoratical answer to the "what comes first chicken or egg question ? I know it's suppposed to be a paradox but i wanted to know if there is one. if there is share ?

EDIT : It seems as no one understood what i was talking about and maybe its my fault for not elaborating . I always thought chicken was a metaphor for this paradox and not really meaning chicken as a specific spiece . So my question is how did the ancestor of chicken came to be if it was born (egg) wouldn’t it need a parent or...

peterf ,

Um no.

The foetus is first formed in the uterus and then the hen lays down the calcium layer around it.

So it depends on whether you consider a foetus a chicken or not.

It overheats it.

The water in a microwave when boiled forms small pockets of gaseous water whose temperature is more than 100 deg C, so it basically cooks the guts out of the tea.

Gentle reminder to everyone that support for ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly distro like . It only takes about two months to acclimate.

Well they only just dropped support for Win7 and that came out in 2009.

peterf ,

Sure, but then pretty well nothing will work, so what’s the point ?

peterf ,

if your sys admin keeps TPM on - and they would have to be nuts to turn it off - you’ll be opening an account.

peterf ,

Its to stop idiots downloading cat videos and infecting the system with ransomware.

peterf ,

And then hardly anything will work, so whats the point ?

If your system doesn’t have a TPM chip, you can still emulate it in softtware, but then everything will run like molasses, so again basically poitnless.

There’s still no way to log into Nautilus as root user from Nautilus.

So you can’t just double click on an icon to decompress it below the home folder.

And then people will give out this long series of terminal commands…hello, I said FROM NAUTILUS.

I’m actually quite okay with using the terminal, the problem is almost nothing invoked from the CLI actually works properly. If the programmer can’t be arsed making a skin, they generally can’t be arsed with proper playtesting either.

2/3rds of Americans can’t believe they’re actually paid to do this dumb, repetitive shit.
