  • Honestly making sure my PC only has software installed that I actually use is important to me because my internet is super slow. It took me over 1h yesterday to do a system update. I don't even wanna know how bad it would be if I had more than 2k packages, it's already bad enough now with 1.1k

  • The main idea is that you can access it regardless of which device you're currently using. Like saving an article you see when you're on your PC for when you're about to leave so you can read it on your phone while on the train

  • French and Italian will come relatively easy for you, the others are quite different. Personally I'd go with Arabic, but that's just because there are many Arabic speaking people at my job.

  • I'm sure where I can find the conversion rate between Celsius and Fahrenheit, but I'll never remember it

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Maybe we should rethink ownership as a concept. Is it really necessary? I feel like it causes a lot of trouble without solving much. Why can't humans just properly work together in a society that shares resources with those in need?

  • I like to automate processes I keep repeating on my machine. For example, there are some documents I receive every month, like bank statements and phone bills. Since the naming conventions of those files are atrocious, I wrote a little program to automatically fix those for me

    Some people also like participating in the development of open source software. That requires you to be a somewhat decent programmer already, though, as you'll have to work with integrated systems

  • All currently existing Klein bottles.

    It seems obvious but I feel like specifying is necessary when talking about abstract things like 4d shapes.

  • I don't think that's esoteric. It's just ergonomics at plat

  • Might still be useful for when you configured fast booting on your hardware. Stuff like that usually doesn't leave enough time for you to manually hit the hotkey during boot.

  • There is no such thing as a free market IMO.

    Either you have an unregulated market dominated by big players which isn't free because of said big players, or you have a heavily regulated market, that gives a fair chance to anyone, but isn't free at all because of the regulation.

    The free market is an illusion, just like the american dream. Which shouldn't be much of a surprise, seeing as the american dream builds off of the illusion of a free market and fair chances for anyone

  • The moon is like the lennyface of emojis

    ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  • "An 'I can read' book" yeah why else would you have it then, smartass

    /s just in case

  • produce usually means fruits and vegetables

  • My female colleague told me the other day I'd make a great dad because my tattoos are all black and white and that would be great for kids because they could color them.

  • Im pretty sure they just wanted to jokingly point out how context matters and spelling usually doesn't as much

  • if you don't like libre office, you can also run MS Office stuff using Wine. Wine was literally made for that.

  • I'm with the other person, while I've heard herumstreunern, a Streuner is always homeless in my understanding. Might be a regional thing, idk
