This feels like Bender breaking up with the Planet Express Ship in the middle of battle.

“Eh, the moment seemed right.”

Whatever inspires you!

Try melting them together!

Look at Ms. Moneybags; I’ve seen pastry chefs go into that much debt in culinary schools just to make $30,000/year!

This happened all the time on the New York Subway when I lived there 20+ years ago. But there you were usually only 2-5 minutes away from the next station and you had the ability to go to a different car, so most people just ignored them. You’re not going to find many commercial flights that are less than an hour gate to gate, though, and frequently many hours in duration.

These were the developer accounts to sign their software to run on Windows

Are there any sickos that use black text on white?

IIRC that’s the default on macOS if the theme is in light mode instead of dark mode. So probably.

So this is the strategy of putting 4 houses on your properties in Monopoly and never upgrading them to hotels because that way there are no houses for your opponents to buy

I sure thought new albums came out on Tuesday when I was in high school and college, around the turn of the millennium. Am I misremembering that or did it change at some point?

I think it was last year Duke researchers announced they were finding so much microplastics in the brains of Alzheimer’s victims that it was equivalent to the amount of plastic in a typical disposable plastic spoon.

I wonder if this means that in years to come, with reductions in environmental lead, we’ll see lower rates of Alzheimer’s and dementia

Most Linux distributions offer a “live CD” experience (does not actually have to be on a CD nowadays; you can use a USB drive). Basically when the computer turns on you tell it to boot off the USB drive instead of the drive in the computer. That way you can try it out on your computer before installing it and see if it works out of the box for you with its defaults. It will probably be a little slower running off a USB drive. I don’t think you can typically install additional programs or save things to the computer (someone more experienced might chime in), but you can try doing basic things like using the web browser or word processor.

But copy is Command+C on macOS and iOS, not Ctrl+C. Maybe in the Classic Mac OS days, but I doubt they would’ve made such a significant change moving to OS X.

I feel like this should go to some of the programming communities also, but I’m not a programmer so I don’t know where

IIRC when it was implemented in the first place, it seemed like lemmy.world had actually been contacted by some stakeholder with a DMCA-style request, even though the community was not actually originating on lemmy.world. Explaining how federation worked to lawyers didn’t matter much and with .world at the time becoming one of the larger and more visible instances that seemed like the best way to avoid the headaches. Initially they defederated with dbzer0 entirely before developing a way to block just the community.

I hate this, +1

I’ve worked a number of jobs in TV, most behind the scenes. I’ve long said most of those jobs people at home wouldn’t know exist unless I make a mistake. That does not mean they were simple jobs.

Many people do not understand the amount of work that goes into other jobs they have never done, nor do they understand what makes someone good at that job.
