  • Windows is such a complete pain in the ass to use anymore I'm not sure Linux is really all that more difficult.

    I know people have really been slow-boiled on the windows side the past 15 years or so, and the frustrations you could encounter are unique to each platform, but I really do think we're at a point that if you can competently admin your own windows system, you can admin a linux system.

    And if you can't be assed to admin either, then you have a few options:

    • Hire a nerd to admin your computer
    • Only use a work computer (and non-personal stuff)
    • resign to using an iPad where Apple is your admin. ๐Ÿ˜‚
  • Most of Mexico historically lives inland. Their beaches are kinda inhospitable. The high plains and valleys are much more conductive to hosting human civilization.

  • Is the monarch required to be sacrificed every so often?

    That would kinda mimic the Aztec Festival of Toxcatl, where an impersonator of the god Tezcatlipoca was sacrificed every year after being treated like a god for the year. The god-man was usually selected from royal families. He had religous function and was provided for in specific ways (eg a harem) but he wasn't a monarch.

  • So a monarch that can't appoint their own heir really isn't much of a monarch. The point of being a monarch is not being beholden to any rules.

    This is just an oligarchy with rules that don't benefit 3/4th of the participants--which is as odd as it sounds.

    After all, the point of 4-5 year terms in modern democracies is that you don't have to wait your whole life to take over.

    It's an interesting concept, but coming to this arangement--and maintaining it in perpetuity--must have been an extremely extrordinary set of circumstances.

  • It's a big ask, but Empathy.

  • Their guess: retail investors.

  • My guess is that as bot activity goes up, and real users go down the amount of gold given goes down and they don't want one of the three ways they earn money to show that it's decreasing on their IPO docs.

  • Yeh I still use reddit to repost sports twitter

  • Lol. My apartment has a "deal" with our internet provider. A combo wifi/switch/modem is provided with the apartment and I have to pay an extra $15 a month.

    What a deal!

    Grand total is only $165US a month for unlimited 1GB down and something terrible up

  • I watched this last week. It's kinda repetitive but I did like it.

  • In many of those worlds the lottery doesn't exist.

  • In ancient battle two lines would come togther and scream at each other, then they would clash. The press could get kinda bad, but they were usually pretty neutral until one side lost its cool and ran away, and that's when the fucking slaughtering starts.

    Microsofties are defeated before the fight ever begins. They are used to just flopping down and watching their blood pour out.

  • Logically, everything stored to disc is a file. There are no physical folds or branching on a harddrive's platter. Everything is (this is simplified) listed one at a time, end to end sequentially. A directory is just a special text file that lists all the addresses to files that are logically "inside of it".

    With journaling file systems (aka modern file systems), this is either replaced or superceeded by the journal.

    Moreso, in Linux, most things are also logically treated as files. In Windows, some settings are stored in a special database known as the registry--Linux has not. It just has text files. In windows, devices are in the device manager, in Linux, devices are just another directory. In Windows you have a special task manager to view open processes, in Linux we have /proc which is a virtual directory. Windows: user permissions are managed with the active directory application. Linux: file permissions. etc.

    This means, instead of using special apps to view things, you can, if so inclined, just navigate and look at files using the usual terminal.

  • Also, bikes generally don't take up a lot of space. A bike lane can be cooking in passenger-miles/hr and look pretty empty compared to urban gridlock in the car lanes.

    You've undoubtedly heard it before in samples, at least.
