Whoa there: I said “I remember”, not that interlacing was good.

And interlacing is only "good"for old video games that leveraged its weirdness for blending pixels.

It is terrible as a video format.

Remember when your dvd player had a “progressive scan” button?

I remember the 720p vs 1080i wars …

Not quite. I believe it’s intended as a reference to how smooth their brains are (proverbial crystal balls).

Dammit.

If you need to change the references in the compose or env files:

• use sed to replace text in .env
• use variables and interpolation in compose

rsync

Built-in, picks up where it left off if you accidentally cancel it by running the same command again, and dead simple.

Permissions for the files will probably be a little broken moving to Linux, but chmod is also easy to use and can work at the directory level.

Won’t someone think of the shareholders?!

This makes sense now. Israel initiates hostilities with Iran to draw the US in and reduce the retaliatory power available to hezbollah that was Iran. Now they have an open door for some land grabbing.

See everyone, the tech oligarchs totally will save us!

Well, that explains why corporate is so intent on them. They’re creating the perfect little KPI-driven stooge.

Heck, now I’d like to see a study on KPIs (as a concept) as a reality distortion lens. It would seem like they have inadvertantly created a way to calculate a reality alignment index for a given KPI. Is it reasonable to conclude that using KPIs to measure performance is, in itself, unethical behavior?

To go a bit further: Is there a correlation between the number of KPIs and the likelihood of creating scenarios in which the only desirable outcome lies outside reality? That is, how many KPIs does it take to get sufficient competition between priorities that it effectively requires hallucinating a solution to achieve a sufficiently aligned result?

My favorite part about that pencil grip is that no one who tries to catalog the ways you can hold a pencil seems to understand it.

I used this one in the 3rd grade or so as a way to weird out my teacher who was a pencil stickler and would correct our grip constantly. And to give my poor middle finger callous a break during all the standardized tests.

Or her job!

Nonetheless, I agree with the sentiment.

You might want to check out distrobox. Nice way to access apps for other distros or package managers like they’re native.

I’m also on Garuda for my main box (Bazzite on the framework 13), and I have an Ubuntu distrobox for dev work with one dev project, another for general tools that are only released as .debs, one running fedora for things that “only support RHEL”, etc.

My kid would have to be 36 for this to ring true, and I’m a millennial.

Windows was just the boat you already knew.

Now you have a new (more adaptable) one and don’t know all it’s squeaks and rattles. You’re neither dumb nor is something wrong. You just aren’t familiar with what it needs from you.

Give it some time (a week compared to how long in windows?) and attention and soon you’ll wonder why you ever second guessed it.

Pam: “it’s the same picture.”

Holy crap, I had this game and never once successfully completed a surgery. Everyone died.

I was still in elementary school, so it was still fun to goof around.

I like and understand where you’re going, but I can offer some actual experience. I learned my legal first name at 8.

It didn’t go down well (I cried because the teacher didn’t call my name and sent me to the school office to get it sorted) and I had a weird complex about the real name into high school. There’s no rhyme or reason to the two names, so it is actually sort of surprising to pair the two. To this day I still go by the nickname I thought was my real name. My nieces and nephews still enjoy discovering my real name and calling me by it thinking it’s a big secret they’ve discovered. I still have to explain it a hundred times a year to new coworkers and acquaintances.

Oh my no.

I don’t know if this one is the fastest either: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessi_Combs
