Like a fairly realistic one: measurement exclude a cosmological constant as the explanation for cosmic acceleration in favour of a quintessence scenario.

Two examples? Take a lesson from the best:

1. [first example]
2. “And so on”
3. “And so on”

I guess it is different reasons for different people. But for me, I started using ubuntu in 2005. When I was learning linux, it was just not complete enough. You install another DE/WM, to try it out, and stuff started to break. So I switched pretty quickly. I tried to return every now and then, because it had an environment of newer packages which I waned/needed. But it was never worth it, this or that always broke when you tried to do something peculiar. I use ubuntu every now and then, but it is mostly no good. The issue is really just snap. Snap firefox on rpi, which is the default, is just trash and unusable. It is crazy that they made it the default. I have also had servers where snap-services just eats too much cpu and first thing I have to do is to purge it. So, in summary, I don’t really trust them to provide a reliable system, and I am sceptical of their direction.

That screenshot is from another site. An account named longpanda has also appeared on lemmy and had their post/replies removed because of impersonation suspicions.

I think it is wise to take extra care on this issue on what you read and trust.

Woah, hold on there, that is way too much equations for such a small pocket. Surely they must first be put in the differential form notation.

Not sure what Disk Manager is, but if it says

USB Mass Storage device detected

It appears to be something. If you do a sudo journalctl -f before you plug it in, does it tell you what device name it is given? If it is sata-to-usb you are using it is probably /dev/sd[a-z] or so, does anyone show up when you plug it in?

Come on, those are like two things: learn stuff and work out. Pfft

I was talking to someone who were cleaning student nightclub bathrooms, and he was like “What are they doing? Why is there used tampons stuck to the celing above the toilets? Do they just fling them up there when they take it out?”

The arch wiki is a good substitute, but the gentoo wiki when it was still around and at its peak was amazing.

But I agree… Gentoo is not quite keeping up with a lot of details. Like experimenting with refind, dracut, efistubs, I felt I was in the dark a lot of the time. I ended up making very few mistakes, because the distro is very good at working for special cases even if all the details are not explained. Still my favourite distro.

I had that from the start… It cannot distinguish some keyboards, and I have two versions of my layout I have to switch between. All keybords work the same on linux, but mac, nah.

And updates? Holy shit! They broke ssh! It was broken like a month. Ssh connections just died as ‘corrupted’ all the time. And they don’t hotfix it asap? How can a company trust to use them as a work laptop if they break it and don’t fix it?

“Slightly worse”. I got a job and was not allowed to use a linux laptop, so I went with mac. I was almost worried that I would like the “just works” aspects everyone have been so exited about. Wow. What a piece of shit it is. Settings items takes forever to load after boot, mouse feels like it is stuck in mud (even if I remove accelleration and increase speed), it cannot wake many monitors up from sleep, it completely disables the keyboard momentarily when activating the screen (and if it fails to wake it, it becomes a flashing, keyboard grabbing nightmare). The window management? I can set up a workspace on this and that keybind, “oh, you disconnected the monitor, well we permuted the keybinds for you” wtf? When I get home and switch to linux, it is such a relief.

And the car is on a truck bed, the truck driven by Peter Theil?

Not the event horizon of a black hole, but the singularity at the center. The event horizon is only a singularity in certain coordinate systems, but you can select coordinates that are smooth there. The black hole singularity is more comparable to big bang, in the sense that it is an indication of missing physics.

If you do, their e-mails asking you to donate again are a bit weird and manipulative. Their subject lines are like “FIRSTNAME - I’ve had enough”, “Our final email” (got several of those), “It’s non-negotiable”.

EU seems to be like “you ASKED edge to be the default browser? This is unimaginable anti-competative behaviour!” towards windows, and then all like “you do you, apple, we good”.

Scrolling through I don’t see this tip I was made aware of when going up north: shower in the evening. I’m not sure it makes any significant difference, but the logic seems sound; while sleeing you build up a protective layer of fat on the surface of your skin, face especially. It helps against the cold, so don’t rinse it off in the morning.

I recently got some Toshibas and they were loud. They also presented with a seek error pre-fail after a few days (all three of them). That propably adds to the volume, but the seagate and wds I switched to just have some clicking noises. Not too bad.

Everytime you are forced to actually look at the log and try to understand the error, I hate that. But I love LaTeX still.

When you really have to look deep into god’s mind you just have to put templeOS on a supercomputer.

Oh, they tried to do this in sweden. They have promissed an examination of “wokeness” in higher education. They celebrated a university forbidding “any conversation a passer by could interpret as political”. They have not started it yet, and they just changed the guy that is supposed to be the anti-woke minister in this context after the summer. So we will share this journey.
