The people you are probably referring to exist on like, two instances. Everybody always ends up on the “.ml” ones for their first experience and is immediately horrified by the hardcore tankie content. That’s because those specific instances are run by actual Marxist-Leninists.

Not every country has such a paranoid view of their government as Americans do. Some systems function a bit better when the people want something done.

Warmest November I ever recall feeling in 35 years. It’s literally in the 70s/80s F on the mid Atlantic US coast.

Are we still going on about the diacetyl and studies that drove the coils so hard they were basically incinerating the cotton and juice?

Some people need a reason to read, some knowledge or skill to be gained, and aren’t into just reading for reading’s sake. I’ll never read Harry Potter or most other fiction, but I’ll definitely binge some electronics engineering and programming reference books. Doesn’t mean I hate reading. It just has to be useful to me. I have to walk away with the feeling of having gained info that I didn’t have before.

That’s probably why I don’t play many videogames either.

As an addition to your post, I’m also in the process of learning C/C++, and I’m curious also how others arrange their actual project files and include directories. Like, for example, if there’s a bunch of classes having to do with UI elements, do you just group them each under their own file all in their own directory? I’ve also seen projects where everything was just thrown into the top level directory, both headers and implementation files together in a giant pile of source files.

Happens. Cars used to need special skills to even get started and drive around. Now a five year old can start one and drive off if they can reach the pedals. But they won’t have any clue how it actually works.

My computer is on a workbench that already has a mess of wires and electronic components on it. One less wire is great. I barely game. I don’t need the quick response.

First, who are you quoting?

Literally the person four comments above this one, right before yours. You gotta slow down when reading comments dude.

Conputer users should have technical knowledge to do stuff like that.

It’s not the 80s anymore. Normies are using computers now.

That’s what some third parties do for ancient OSes that can no longer use Windows Update but where people want to at least have the last patches made for it, like when people make retro machines. There’s an installer package out there that will apply every Windows 98 update ever released in one go. Same for XP I think.

It’s not at all unreasonable to be against people pissing about on their phones while cycling.

I don’t know, maybe you missed this or something. Don’t know where you got the idea that bikes themselves are bad.

Maybe they can just tether two ships together and have them rotate around a common CoG like a bucket swinging around on a string. Wouldn’t be that expensive. The radiation I’m not sure, maybe they can create a “safe room” on the ship surrounded by their water reserves.

The tether thing is so simple I’m surprised it wasn’t in use decades ago. I think I remember them confirming it being a viable option on Gemini when they tested it being tethered to the test vehicle.

Eight months is brutal. Yet that isn’t even one leg of a round trip Mars mission, unless nuclear propulsion is used. Still a giant problem we have to figure out. We are not colonizing the solar system on chemical rockets alone.

Same here. My favorite game is Kerbal Space Program, and the graphics look like they are straight out of the early 2000s, but even with a 12 core CPU I still get crazy lag during explosions, staging, and other physics interactions. Transitioning from “on rails” flight to actually modelling physics when within a few km of something else has also not ever been smooth.

Why not both?

Debian: business as usual…

I had a setup with a Raspberry Pi where I could say a command to a Google speaker to view my front door camera, which would turn my living room TV on, switch to the Pi, load VLC, and stream the camera via it’s built in MPEG server. It was a pretty shaky Rube Goldberg-esque system triggering a bunch of stuff using IFTTT.
