I wouldn’t go further back than the birth of my daughter, because there’s no way I’d take the chance to not have her in my life, no matter what I might wish to change from before that. That said, I’d like to change a few things since, so I’d probably do that.

It depends. “our daily bread” may mean the ‘bread’ that one needs every day, not necessary the bread that one actually gets everyday.
So it makes sense from the standpoint of someone praying (aka begging) that TODAY they’ll get the nourishment they need every day, because they aren’t really sure if they really will.
It definitely was hotter here. We’re a week into September and it’s still going to hit 109F today. That’s absurd. Thankfully we’re FINALLY going to start cooling off tomorrow, when it will ‘only’ be 98F.
Recently I was wandering if there is someone or some group preserving , collecting , organizing and publishing all the knowledge of mankind ever created throughout its existence so that if ever mankind faces the 6th mass extinction we don’t have to reinvent the wheel and can have a kick start to our new post apocalyptic...
I’m not having any issue in XFCE on x11/xorg with a 164Hz main screen @2560x1400, and a 60Hz second screen set vertically @1080x1920. Just using the display manager config provided by XFCE.
Annoyingly enough, the other day got the first RTF file I’ve gotten in probably 20 years. To make matters worse, it was JSON that the customer decided should be sent as an RTF attachment to an email.
Of course I run Linux on my work computer so I didn’t have wordpad anyway. I had to use a cli utility to convert it to text, then use vscode to properly format it, since he conversion removed all the indentation/spacing.
If I never see another RTF file again, it’ll be too soon.
Even as someone who has disliked MS since the mid-90s, I am willing to admit they have made some good products. The Intellimouse 2.0 was one of the best mice I’ve ever used. It was my main mouse for something like a decade, and even now, almost 25 years later, it still works as a backup mouse when I need it for something in my homelab.
It’s not about what you as the searcher has. It’s about where the content you’re searching for is located. If the entity or company you’re searching for has only published within walled gardens such as Instagram or Facebook, then you are less likely to successfully find that information in Google. If they had published a normal website, then Google would be better able to index that information and provide you the result you want.
I’m always bugged more by individual moments than bigger things. So while T’Pol might be wearing an old fun center carpet as a uniform, and the temporal Cold War is both overly complex and excruciatingly boring neither of those things bothers me more than the following....
I damn near had my head taken off one time when I was a kid. I was leaned over the side looking down as the escalator went up. My mother grabbed me and yanked me back just moments before my head got stuck in the scissor trap caused by the bottom of the down escalator intersecting with the up escalator.
A couple years later I noticed the started putting plexiglass a foot or two in front of that part. I wonder how many kids didn’t get their head pulled back in time before they started doing that.
I started similarly with Yggdrasil, but quickly moved to Slackware, downloading floppy images on a 2400bps modem.
These days I use Xubuntu on my desktops/laptops and Debian on my servers.
While back in the day I (to quote Weird Al) “beta tested every operating system, gave props to some, and others, I dissed 'em”, I just haven’t got time to deal with all that any more.
An Italian holiday may be a priceless experience for those who have enjoyed all this country has to offer. But the summer of 2023 will go down as one of the priciest in history after a slew of price gouging scandals at cafes and restaurants that have affected foreign tourists and Italians alike.
Overcharging at tourist traps is hardly a new phenomenon. I went to Italy in the late 90s and they were charging $4 for a 12oz can of Coke I could get for 25-50¢ at home.
11 years ago I switched to Reddit from Fark. Before that I switched to Fark from Slashdot (mid 5 digit user ID).
I haven’t quit Reddit completely, but I’ve drastically reduced my usage and will likely continue to reduce further as Lemmy and/or other options grow.
Basically the same as I did with previous sites I frequented. I occasionally check Fark and Slashdot, but I’m far from a frequent reader and rarely contribute any further.
It may take time, and obviously won’t be as fast as the death of Digg, but spez has likely effectively killed Reddit. It just doesn’t know it yet.

A person comes up to you and says, "I can reverse time for just $1 per day." Do you take their offer? How far back do you go?
i.e. pay $5 to go back 5 days....
