At least for Ubuntu, you do need to set the permissions of the AppImage before it’ll launch.

I still haven’t figured out how to make .desktop files work yet.

droans,

That would be great, but you can buy a $20 burner from a gas station that’s more powerful than those phones.

The regular version uses the Allwinner A64 chip which retailed for $5 when it was released… Back in 2015.

The Pro version uses the RK3399S, which is a custom lower binned version of the RK3399. Neither chip was made available retail, but the SK3399 was released in 2016 and only otherwise used in low-end Chromebooks and SBCs.

I’ve got no problem with it, especially after I created some macros to tag and sort my emails.

Not Oracle Cloud ERP/EPM though. Those are the worst programs I have to use on a daily basis. For whatever godforsaken reason, the Smart View extensions for the Office apps are all connected to each other so if you’re running some SV function in Excel, Outlook will freeze up.

No worries, you can just disable the plugins in the other apps, right? Wrong. The plugins automatically re-enable each other.

droans,

Oddly enough it was blurry if I looked at it from the feed but completely fine when I opened it from the post itself.

Also running Sync but with that setting enabled.

Yep, Hank would have traveled to a library and rented the disc, watched one episode, and returned it immediately. Then he’d repeat the process each time he wanted to watch an episode.

droans,

I don’t. My four month-old doesn’t understand DST

droans,

Okay wow no need to get personal.

droans,

It’s only the wrong solution if you’re writing something where every operation needs to be accounted for. Modulo is a great, easy, readable method otherwise.

Not too certain on C++, but I think this would be the cleanest implementation that still somewhat optimizes itself:


<span style="color:#323232;">private bool IsEven(int number){
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    return !(number % 2)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

Same in the US unless it’s marked as not substitutable.

Piracy is Preservation (feddit.de)

Image description: a screenshot from the Wikipedia page for the Doctor Who TV series, with a user-added caption that reads “Preserve the media you can before it’s gone forever.” The Wikipedia article reads, “No 1960s episodes exist on their original videotapes (all surviving prints being film transfers), though some were...

Usenet is worth it. More selection, no hoping that someone is out there seeding, and the quality is almost always much better.

droans,

Usenet doesn’t guarantee any time at all. Content is purged regularly if it’s not being downloaded.

droans,

On the flip side, there is VBA which practically enforces bad practices.

droans,

That doesn’t sound right but I don’t know enough about Ubuntu off-shoots to dispute it.

droans,

I’ll just use apt to bypass the snaps…


<span style="color:#323232;">$ sudo apt install xyz
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Installing snap for xyz...

Okay what the fuck

droans,

How many major distros aren’t run by for-profit entities nowadays? If you want any sort of enterprise use, you need to offer a 24/7 live support plan.

I guess the big difference is that Canonical is hoping to make money off the home users too.

droans,

$35B sounds more like it’s intended to find a way to make these conversions possible and create a “blueprint” to be used elsewhere.

droans,

They exist, they’re just not cheap since they’re meant for enterprise use and should last much longer.

At least for most smart TVs, they’re completely operational if you never connect them to the Internet, though.

That makes sense, I mean your monitor can only fit like six lines of text.

She begged the USSR to absorb East Germany because she thought that German reunification would lead to another Hitler situation.

I’ll use it for one-off short scripts. No point in doing the whole shebang for something that doesn’t need it.

droans,

Ask yourself if it’s something that nearly everyone would be against.

If the answer is yes, then it’s probably not true and you should do actual research to see if it is real.

droans,

I use it because I don’t want ads related to my stupid ass search.

droans,

That’s only on the VantageScore - the free score most places show. It isn’t actually used by more than a handful of institutions.

FICO, the system used by the vast majority of lenders, considers closed accounts just the same as open.

droans,

If you’re good with your money, you should at least consider cards with cash back rewards. You can get cards that give you 2% back on everything. BCP will give you 6% on groceries but comes with a $95 annual fee.

I always pay my cards the moment a charge posts. No point in carrying debt and risking paying any interest.

I gotta say, the final season of Miracle Workers scratched the itch I had for a Fallout TV show.

Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple (www.theverge.com)

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

droans,

3G has been shut off and 2G will be going down in weeks. SMS won’t work without LTE or 5G soon.

droans,

Pretty much any modern CPU has a TPM module built-in. Good chance you just need to go to the BIOS and enable it.

It would put you in the top 15% of households. And that’s individual income.

You’re right, we should judge Columbus based on the times he lived.

Bobadilla reported to Spain that Columbus once punished a man found guilty of stealing corn by having his ears and nose cut off and then selling him into slavery. He claimed that Columbus regularly used torture and mutilation to govern Hispaniola. Testimony recorded in the report stated that Columbus congratulated his brother Bartholomew on “defending the family” when the latter ordered a woman paraded naked through the streets and then had her tongue cut because she had “spoken ill of the admiral and his brothers”. The document also describes how Columbus put down native unrest and revolt: he first ordered a brutal suppression of the uprising in which many natives were killed, and then paraded their dismembered bodies through the streets in an attempt to discourage further rebellion…

In early October 1500, Columbus and Diego presented themselves to Bobadilla, and were put in chains aboard La Gorda, the caravel on which Bobadilla had arrived at Santo Domingo. They were returned to Spain, and languished in jail for six weeks before King Ferdinand ordered their release.

The Reddit spam filter is god awful.

Research any product on Google and click on the reddit link. Nine times out of ten, the top comment will be added months, if not years, after the original post. It will contain a link to blogspam and somehow have 50+ points.

It’s clear that it’s just bot accounts. They buy votes and post it so late after the fact because it makes it less likely to be noticed by the mods.

droans,

I’m like 90% certain they planned on a method to travel between systems without jumping or fast traveling.

He3 was supposed to be collected for jumping. However, if you run out near a planet that doesn’t have any, it would be very difficult to get anywhere. It would also mean one of the very first things any user would have to do is set up an outpost for he3 or buy a lot of it from vendors.

If there was a way to travel between planets and systems, even if it took a few minutes, new users could at least play around wherever they are and eventually set up an outpost to speed up the process. Maybe it would only be reasonable for planet-to-planet within the same system, but you would be able to find he3 somehow.

Also, the whole thing with jumping to a new system. If your travel path includes another system that you haven’t visited yet, you have to stop there first. It doesn’t make much sense from a gameplay perspective unless they planned on having users actually travel it.

Monsanto owns a lot of the farms now.

Yes, that’s how both time and math works.

I’ve had to reboot my Linux computer every couple of weeks because of an update.

I reboot my Windows laptop maybe once every few months because of an update.

Death rate per 100,000,000 miles has been dropping a lot over time.

In 1923, when it first started being tracked, it was standing at 21.65. 1970, it was 4.88. 1990, 2.21. In 2021, it was 1.5.

It spiked recently, though, a tiny bit around 2015-2016 but then greatly in 2021. In 2014, the rate was 1.17.

I do agree that the self-driving features are kinda pointless, especially right now, though. GM has gotten especially bad with their marketing, showing ads with people intentionally taking their hands off the wheel and not paying attention to the road while the car’s moving.

droans,

I used to think that I was just great at finding ways to get enough sleep while staying up late on the weekend.

Now that I have an infant, though…

Funny enough, half the reason I’m not getting enough sleep anymore is just so I can have some time to myself.

droans,

In the US, that’s actually because of semi-voluntary regulations. In the EU and other areas, it’s less voluntary.

They can’t claim or imply that drinking will help improve your social status or sexual success. They also can’t claim or imply that it’ll help you relax or that the alcohol is a positive quality.

Basically, they’re not allowed to show someone drinking and looking like they’re having a good time… But they’re allowed to show one or the other.

It’s a long trip from the Maumee to the Erie to the Hudson to the ocean.

droans,

But if it’s going to the ocean from Fort Wayne, it’ll have to go East.

The Maumee River meets up with Lake Erie which eventually goes towards the Hudson Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Although I suppose that still doesn’t have to cross the mountain.

If done well, buffalo chicken mac and cheese is great, too.

Unfortunately most restaurants do a garbage job with it. They just add the chicken and hot sauce into the mac and cheese and let it sit in a pan until someone orders it. This needs to be made fresh when it’s ordered or it just turns into mediocre mush.

They all always screw up buffalo chicken dip, too. That’s even worse because it’s so easy to make right.

  • Rotisserie chicken
  • Hot sauce, half a cup to a full cup depending on what you like
  • Block of cream cheese
  • Bag of sharp cheddar.
  • Packet of ranch seasoning. Don’t use ranch dressing, it’ll make it too watery.
  • If you like blue cheese, grab a small block or, if you’re lazy, grab a little container.

Use two forks to shred up all the breast meat on the rotisserie. Make the shreds varying in consistency - some should be very fine, some should be normal shredded chicken, some should be little chunks.

Slice the cream cheese into small strips. If you’re using a block of blue cheese, remove the rind and crumble it. I like to use a knife for this because it’s quicker.

Grab a large pan. Throw the chicken and hot sauce in. Set it to medium and mix. When it starts simmering, add everything but the blue cheese. Mix it up until it’s all melted and combined. If you have blue cheese, add it now and keep mixing until you’re happy with it.

Turn off the stove. It’s ready now and you’re about to have some fantastic fucking buffalo chicken dip.
