Yeah, like, even as fungi best case you connect a vast rainforest and provide communication and transportation services (also for sharing forest memes) … only to be keenly aware at all moments of how pollution, deforestation, and climate change is damaging the forest in real time. Yeah, no.
Even if I were an undead virus (a virus that is dead-ish, not a virus causing undead humans to pollute the planet even after death) I wouldn’t know how to (re)arrange my genome to target some apes.
Bacterium is peak lifeform, just settle into a literal rock, sleep a few billion years.
I do it once in a while, to feel young, but not benefit all that much. (Having said that about my daily desktop, I do have multiple machines and VMs that run all sorts of distros)
Even though different Linux distros are often fairly close in terms of real-life performance and all of them have a clear advantage over Windows in many use cases, we can’t reject the fact that Arch Linux has undoubtedly won the competition. And now I’m so glad to have another reason to proudly say “I use Arch btw”...
Well … this meme format … such was the style at the time, but we didn’t post pics on the internet back then. Why use millions of times more data bandwidth than is necessary (pic vs ascii)?
And I do apologize for the poetic ‘million’, it was, as everything else in that reply, a joke (I’m saying that I was in fact not wondering why we post pics, nor think we should text format all the things - I mean, we have video blogs, that’s just ascii with unnecessary human bits :D (again, joking)). I mean, I look at memes hours per day & shitpost them around, I understand sharing images.
The main point/reference/nostalgia I was trying to make was putting together classic windows theme (starting in dial-up era) and how impractical would have been to use images back then.
(Also, not that it matters in the million, I was thinking uncompressed png vs ascii.)
Ubuntu’s popularity often makes it the default choice for new Linux users. But there are tons of other Linux operating systems that deserve your attention. As such, I’ve highlighted some Ubuntu alternatives so you can choose based on your needs and requirements—because conformity is boring.
Yeah, that one made me chuckle as well. But I guess the article ‘had to be written’ for reasons & it does actually have some overview value & nice pics … which I guess is what new users have to go on before they actually dive in.
Been daily driving low-profile Gateron switches for a while but wanted to give MX another shot. Mostly so I can use my nice keycaps again. I didn’t buy this filament specifically for this build but I think it works really nicely....
Same situation, but at times I chuckle at the thought of someone seeing the beyond weird shit on my screens. I should play more porn to bring the weirdness down.
But regardless, floor to ceiling windows (+ the view) did wonders for my mental health, far beyond expectations.
Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft...
