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.

that’s a nice doormat but what package are you talking about

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

Only 4 1/2 stars?

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

It is.

Meh, I think it’s a good instinct. The OP always lies until proven otherwise. I probably should have clarified in the post itself. I just didn’t expect so much engagement.

This probably is not actually Gemini attempting to run code. It’s not staged though, this came out of left field. I was bitching at it about the number of Nazis on Twitter and bullying it for calling Elon musk a free speech absolutist. Then I nonsequitured into the bit about watermelon.

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.

Is that the loosh harvesting thing my schizo buddy tells me about

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.

And free cake!

I asked an LLM to translate the idea into corporate jargon (it turns out this is something they’re actually quite good at) and it spat this out:

Office-Safe Jargon: "Executive compensation levels may warrant further evaluation in light of current financial performance. A potential avenue for optimizing resource allocation could involve a modest reduction in executive remuneration, which may contribute positively to overall profitability.

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.

I know we should all be used to it by now but it’s crazy to me that Daewoo makes everything from heavy equipment to container ships to cars to microwaves. Imagine having a refrigerator with a Chrysler badge on it.

IE11 was a gigantic improvement over previous iterations. It wasn’t anywhere near Firefox or Chrome, mostly because of their respective extension ecosystems. I don’t remember it being especially slow though.

teehee you made a funny typo
