Hawke,

Yeah, 486 DX4/100 was the peak of DOS gaming.

Hawke,

In this case it’s the same god so you’re covered.

Hawke,

Letting people continue to drive like that will eventually lead to injury or death.

Not eventually; it does already, and frequently.

We collectively just accept it as “the cost of doing business”. A deal with the devil if you ask me.

Hawke,

Biden unironically said “no one is approved the law”

[citation needed]

Hawke,

Read the first paragraph or the headline of your link again, and then read what you wrote again. Slowly, If it will help.

Hawke,

Why is the cc-by-nc-sa license disappointing? Is your disappointment exclusive to version 4.0?

Hawke,

Zero chance that the trial ends before the election.

Hawke,

That’s for the poors.

Hawke,

Thanks, Israel. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Hawke,

It could be Morse code?

Hawke,

I hate these clickbait headlines.

Saving you a click: because pandemic aid funding is ending, and enrollment is lower in some places.

Hawke,

Glad to do it, sad that I have to with a formerly reputable news source like CNN.

Hawke,

What a confusing headline.

Hawke, (edited )

Is there any reason this 5% number still holds true? Back in the days of 40 MB hard drives it made sense to make sure the system didn’t totally run out while root was fixing the low disk situation … but these days even 1% is still several gigabytes of space, not likely to run out that quickly.

Hawke,

It means that everything will be in equilibrium, and there will be no such thing as hot or cold. No energy to move from place to place to create the idea of hot or cold.

So I guess that means that it’d be cold but the concept would be meaningless.

Hawke, (edited )

There are many instances like that. Systemd vs system V init, x vs Wayland, ed vs vim, Tex vs latex vs lyx vs context, OpenOffice vs libreoffice.

Usually someone identifies a problem or a new way of doing things… then a lot of people adapt and some people don’t. Sometimes the new improvement is worse, sometimes it inspires a revival of the old system for the better…

It’s almost never catastrophic for anyone involved.

Hawke, (edited )

I’d say only open/libreoffice fits that.

Edit: maybe Tex/latex/lyx too, but context is not.

Hawke,

Yes… I’d classify context as a reboot of latex.

Hawke,

I assume they’re going to ignore the ruling and use the maps anyway.

Hawke,

Not just Florida but yes.

Ignore the ruling until it is ”too late” then shrug and say, “Sowwy we ran out of time, guess we’ll have to just use the only maps we have”.

Disgusting ratfuckery.

Hawke,

Probably, yeah. Depends on a few other things (drive age, SMART test results, how risk-averse you are…)

But at least it’s worth thinking about.

Hawke, (edited )

There’s a lot of options for which key to use for compose. And you can set right-alt to be that key very easily.

Hawke,

The ship dimensions are correct for Enterprise NCC-1701A. That’s obviously what it is, the nacelles are pretty distinctive.

gotta get a new printer

Greentings As youve seen from the the title, i want to get a new printer as a present for my parents. Sadly they are still windows peasants and my mom somehow thinks that the HP printer on her desk has been a good financial investment, even though it has costed us more than 300 bucks in ink over the past 2 years....

Hawke,

laser printers can print color but it’s a bit expensive up front.

Hawke,

Semi-embedded shit like this is always astoundingly outdated.

Hawke,

the thread still showed a score of around 1,300 points, meaning that it had been believed to be real by quite a few users.

Someone doesn’t understand belief or how upvotes, downvotes, or Reddit work.

Hawke,

TIL that the US nuked Mexico… or called Japanese people “wetbacks” or something, not sure.

Hawke,

Enlighten me. The US has done some fucked up shit but I’m pretty sure we never nuked Mexico.

Hawke,

Not sure why you’re downvoted here, but you’re right.

Hawke,

It’s not particularly expensive. Cast iron and stainless steel are both about $50 for a pan, with prices going basically as high as you want for either.

Hawke,

…Barbra Streisand?

Hawke,

Okay that’s a sensible connection at least

Hawke,

Not as good as just staying on standard time forever but better than flip-flopping all the time

Hawke,

You realize that the amount of daylight does not change, right? The important thing to me is that noon should be as close to midday as possible.

Hawke,

Because that’s the definition of noon…

Hawke,

All that means is that the layout of the time zones is stupid. Noon is noon, and my opinion is that clock noon should be as close to solar noon as possible.

or we should eliminate time zones entirely and use a single clock time worldwide.

Hawke,

we’d need to change culture to not have 9-5 banking/office work days but rather 8-4, 7-3 or 6-2, similar to how the trades already work.

Realistically we already do. There’s enough variation in start times… yeah 9-5 is traditional but plenty of places have slightly different times

Hawke,

What’s wrong with vulva?

Hawke,

Please do not kick me in the vas deferens.

Hawke,

Zero businesses need them.

A few pretend to though.

Hawke,

At this point the effort and time to keep physical fax machines is greater than dropping them.

Hawke,

With POTS lines getting up to $1000/month in some cases, it’s not even the equipment that’s the problem.

Hawke,

Nah, fuck ‘em for hating on Linux too. If they put as much effort into supporting it as they do to opposing it there’d be a lot more love for Epic.

Hawke,

I’d put buying Psyonix (rocket league) and immediately killing Linux support as particularly damning, but Tim Sweeneys dislike of Linux is well known.

And … odd coincidence “payday 2 coming to epic games but drops linux support”
