Yep; unless valid means open ended, thought provoking, ends with "?" and not support.

Chicken?

Yes, I think mostly it was farmers who deforested the planet; and are still doing it.

It might be if all the humans not hunting their meat starved to death - orwere never born. I think it really depends on what counterfactual you want to dream up.

You could argue that modern farming techniques created the agricultural surplus and enbled population growth and urbanisation and maybe helped the human population to grow to a level that hunter gatherers woud not be likely to have reached.

I think it is the scale of human population that is challenges sustainability of any tech, either method would be sustainable at some scale. I'm not convinced that modern farming practices are very sustainable for 10+bn people , for all that long. But I guess we'll see.

Over the long term i think hunter gathering humans were around a lot longer than farmers have been, and a much much longer than modern intnsive monocultural/ pesticide / fertilizer based methods. So you'd have to wait a few thousand years to know how sustainable modern farming is.

Not really, it generally worked in the end - so in fact it's pretty great actually at getting you out of a hole.

It was just a load of extra steps - and usually a last resort after failing with whatever came on the installation disks. So morale had taken a few hits before you even started with it.

Everything is easier when you can connect to the network immediately.

Fair play to ubuntu (and i guess kernel improvements in early 2ks) - that was such a major step in ease of installation.

Bring back the good old days of ndiswrapper.

Struggled to find beer that I like in usa- I've not been there much though.

It's increasingly hard here though (UK).

Shitty lager, or hipster-grapefruit-jizz or guiness is the normal choice in most pubs, and even in many so called "real ale" pubs, those of them still left. A decent pint of bitter is hen's teeth these days. I guess fashions change and there's no money in old style beers that I prefer. You can't argue with the bottom line.

I find shitty lager in US is not as nice as shitty european lager - it just seems to have an odd taste - but it's not what i want to drink.. I guess german/czech lager is about as good as it gets, for lager/pils - but still not very flavourful.

Belgium is good, but not really for a session beer. It's for a different type of drinking.

Can I get the icon in cornflower blue? https://youtu.be/4NomQYQK1bE

I think your comment has appeared in the wrong the wrong musk thread. This one is about takeover of us treasury.

I think cyberducks is here: https://lemmy.world/post/25080532

Is it a dictatorship?

I didn't think the president's role was designed to have absolute power over all branches of government - but maybe I don't really understand the us govt system.

pandas is obviously chinese spyware.

It depends what packages you need, and what they have to interact with.

If it's all standalone then no problem until the hardware degrades.

For example I had laptop (DOS/Win98 ) with a pcmcia network adapter with BNC 50 ohm coax network dongle, 9/25 pin serial/parallell ports, maybe p/s2 port, floppy drive and so on.

I can't think what I'd connect that to I might have a parallell port on my PC, but on that laptop I think I only had laplink so I'd need a linux app to interact with that. I do still hve a floppy drive somewhere, but how to connect that to my motherboard?

So I'd probably be limited to keyboard and trackball input, and audio + (monochrome) video output.

lemmings on black and white, blurry, slow refresh rate would still "work" unless the hdd got corrupted.

Within a lifetime current gen wifi, usb, ethernet etc may all be as rare as 9 pin serial is today - it's still around of course, but you cant rely on it.

Yeah but make sure you get the high mocktane stuff, too weak and you end up with punypunk.

In the 1990s all internet data was transported by snails using these things called AOL CD-ROM packets.

With the TC-AOL-CD-ROM protocol, you had to keep on gluing a copy of the same CD to another snail every day and sending it off to the recipient, until you get one back confirming the reciept.

If you do enough annoying wordplay to cause enough people to boil over with anger you can get Punpunk.

Every problem is a nail if you hammer it hard enough.

noobuntu vs arch-hole

Haha, i'd write a thousand pages of documentation before entering ticket hell. I fact I do put a lot of information into the ticket - they still won't read it though and i'll have to repeat myself 15 times to 5 different people.

The solution to this problem. . . I have no idea, but I'm sure they'll appoint another delivery manager who will get hired by the ones who already know fuck-all to know less than them.

I've found that the few managers who want documentation, get documentation, and the others who want tickets and "story points", get tickets and fictional bullshit - in general.___

Some cafes will do it - not as standard, but a few - maybe try the ones trying to be 1-up from a greasy. https://seahousescafe.co.uk/the-breakfast-menu

As will many hotel breakfasts, there's often little single serving marmite things in with the single serving jam packets. I'd say about half the hotels i've stayed in with decent cooked breakfast have had it on offer.

I've also seen it in little roadside food van / trailer type things too.

Anyway, you want sainsbury's yeast extract instead of marmite, it's way gloopier and nicer tasting.
