Still looks ripped under that shirt. Let him sit there for a few years and see how that changes!

I like how this flips the narrative from: "I need to make my impact on the future by leaving a child!" to "I can also make an impact on the future by deciding not to leave a child here!"

Depends on where you live. In Japan, most of the time it's either way too hot to hang out on the balcony or way too cold. In Europe it's fine in many places for most of the year.

Some of it also has to do with rent prices which can be higher if you have a balcony.

Also, and again in Japan: There is an emergency balcony exit in some apartment buildings in case a natural disaster hits. It's probably easier to climb your way down a bunch of balconies with holes in the ground than a blank wall

We can argue as much as we want about whether moore's law covers technological development in general or be pedantic like good old fundamental Christians and only read what the words say.

The bigger problem is that we have reached the era of what we could tentatively call "wal s'eroom". Thanks to enshittification (another one of those slippery words!) I predict that technological progress reverses from now on by 50% every 2 years.

Please take context into account. Please.

(this is a lil' lemmy thread and I think everyone understands what OP had in mind)

Sad to hear that veteran cannot think of more than one person.

Ubuntu's role in the ecosystem is important. They are good at first luring people into using linux. Then the users get pissed off of Ubuntu, because of Snap, ads, or whatever random crap they know from Windows. Finally, they move on to better options, be it Arch, Debian, or Puppy. Ubuntu ensures they don't all stick to the same

Thought the same but with Queen

"I know, they all seem braindead and not entirely trustworthy, and they don't know how to articulate themselves. But I talked with them, and they told me they want something good. Also, YOU trust ME, right? So trust me bro, even if they seem weird and what they say doesn't make sense, I think they are good!"

He would probably have died of natural causes anyway by now. But just disappearing for a few decades might be a sign someone wasn't happy with his bodily integrity? Maybe he chills below one of the Miami skyscrapers now or whatever people in his business do in such cases.

 

I got annoyed recently when I wanted to leave the house and noticed my bag was half full just with stuff to deal with weather. In Tokyo, I usually carry an umbrella with me, maybe sunscreen, sunglasses, a mini towel etc. Others have fans, "neck fans" (not sure how they are called). Maybe a water bottle also counts.

All of this is "weather stuff" for me. I asked a friend what she carries around, and we started to think about some other categories as well. So I wondered how much of the stuff we carry around is actually about the thing we want to do wherever we go, and how much is just to cope with the environment? Also, I would be curious how this looks like in other places around the world. Things probably vary by gender, age, season as well.

Some categories are:

  • weather stuff
  • personal hygiene stuff
  • safety stuff
  • not being annoyed by others stuff
  • infrastructure fail stuff (e.g., preparing for when trains get delayed)
 

I would also be curious to hear how you eventually found it again!

One to start: Conquest for paradise by vangelis. Just randomly woke up one morning with the song plus title in my head

 

Tell me all the trash music/artists you know from around the 50s to 70s.

 

Whatever use cases they try to push for social settings, I think Google Glass was still the better solution. Nobody uses their Vision Pro outside, and it's way too expensive as just another VR headset to use at home.

My dearest,

I just got myself a lil' HP Elitedesk 800 G2 mini and am all set to run my home server on there. But I have troubles entering the UEFI menu. I don't know what they did with Windows 10, but I can't get there the usual way (i.e., hitting random f-buttons or esc during startup). I checked out the online Windows support and found this link with options to access the UEFI menu from within Windows:

https://www.isunshare.com/windows-password/four-methods-to-access-uefi-bios-setup.html

However, even when the computer is supposed to reboot into UEFI, it always sends me back to the normal login screen. By now, I ran out of ideas what to try.

Did anyone experience similar problems?

Edit: Got it working with different keyboard/display combination. The reboot from within Windows thing still didn't work, but starting from powered off and hitting f10 a few times did it this time. I think the main problem was with my displayport to HDMI converter at home, which apparently caused some delays - and maybe the fact that it's connected to a TV at home, not a regular display. Also, if you don't stop hitting f10 at some point, apparently you get sent back to normal booting. I didn't investigate that problem further though.

 

Back in my days, we had tons of memes for the mac pro. They went like:

You could buy a Mac Pro with these specs (...) or you could buy:

  • another computer with better specs
  • a house
  • Russia
  • a Cybertruck
  • and green_day.mp3

... and still pay less.

 

... about a few minutes BC.

 

Banana bread is 1,50$ a piece, cheese cake 2,50$, and an apple crumble is 2,70$. Those are the pie rates of the car I be in.
