TempleOS is God’s chosen OS, but I don’t live at church. I use TempleOS to pray, and Hannah Montana Linux for personal tasks. That way I get the best of both worlds.

Land of the free my ass

Almost changed the definition of pi. It passed the House, but a professor from Purdue happened to be in the Statehouse on unrelated business the day the Senate voted on it. He managed to convince enough Senators that it was a terrible idea and they absolutely roasted it on the floor.

The Wikipedia article on it is great. “Legislative History” is the interesting bit. My favorite part is this:

An assemblyman handed [Prof. Waldo] the bill, offering to introduce him to the genius who wrote it. He declined, saying that he already met as many crazy people as he cared to.

What would you say is technology? Materials science isn’t technology, but what about things made out of the materials created by materials science?

You forgot to treat us like we’re stupid and close the thread as answered

Given that they have a list of 500 some nicknames you’re not allowed to use for him, probably not.

The last time I used LibreOffice was admittedly a couple years ago but it was just plain clunky in comparison to MS Office. Word feels nicer to use than Writer, and Excel is more intuitive than Calc.

I’m glad that FOSS alternatives exist, but the older I get the more I turn into a boring normie. Office just works. I can collaborate on our budget with my girlfriend, I can pull up my resume and edit it on my phone, I can share files with my friends or with my boss or with my prof. And I don’t have to maintain any infrastructure to do that. I don’t have to set up a domain or any kind of server, it’s a couple hours’ pay. For a year of relatively seamless support.

Clearly having the word “league” in the name generates toxicity.

Nah, but the game got so much worse after it went free to play. I’ll never forgive Epic.

I imagine it’s a hell of a lot cheaper/simpler/more reliable in manufacturing to use the adhesive over screws, gaskets, and grease. It reduces both the BOM and the number of processes required to ship a unit, and probably fails less often, which means fewer RMAs. Plus it just plain takes up less space, which leaves more room for the battery.

I don’t like it, my favorite phone I’ve ever had was a Galaxy Nexus with a zerolemon battery that was bigger than the phone itself, but I can see why gluing everything together would be an attractive solution for the engineers who design these things.

Because we kept buying thinner and lighter phones, and gluing the battery in makes thinner and lighter phones with better battery life possible. As a convenient side effect glue creates a nice watertight seal that can make devices more water resistant.

obviously a skyrim reference. This is why dj Khaled is the realest. The first gamer rapper,

The best search engine for my money is kagi. It’s $5 a month but there’s no ads, I get to block pinterest and I downranked fandom wikis. There’s even a fediverse filter.

What if the homunculus argues that it, as a new and distinct being, has committed no crimes, and deserves to live? What if it begs for its life as you load it into the teleporter to split it back up into your science officer and annoying morale officer shoot it into the sun?

we all kinda forget how big the divide is

There’s that phrase again. If only someone had warned us loudly and repeatedly.

It didn’t ship with my controller, I had to order it extra. I looked it up and apparently they started shipping the backplate standard with the second run of controllers. Hopefully the new controller also uses a dongle, because good god do I hate Bluetooth. Being able to plug the damn thing in and have it work on any machine instead of faffing about with BT unpairing and repairing like I do with my Xbox controller is so nice.
