I think a length of wire is more about being a vague measurement and to distinguish it from a wire coil, which is a separately useful thing in electronics.

Calling things a length isn’t indicative of being short. Terms like a length of rope and length of wire are fairly normal ways to talk about things without a strict measurement.

What’s the ffxiv reference here?

Anubis is from Egyptian mythology.

No such thing as a fish

Great game.

Did this exist before or after worms?

How many voted for something else?

Yea. I’m sure they will be humbled like the people of North Korea, who think their supernatural leader invented hamburgers and the electric guitar.

You’re talking bullshit.

You have voting weight proportional to how much stock you hold. You are the shareholder. There’s no legal obligations for companies to prioritise profits over anything else.

Stop with the fear mongering and hyperbole.

Theoretically someone with a lot of money could buy a large percentage of a company’s shares, become a major shareholder, and then vote on company resolutions. If anything, owning shares gives you power to change the company.

Step on the gas.
…O…O…O…X…

After his own offer to rescue the children was turned down

Windows started life as a window manager that you installed on top of MS-DOS. It has since grown to be much more, and I don’t think you can criticise it for that.

Also, changing the visual theme is their prerogative. They are not required to supply a “classic” theme, even though they did do that a bunch of times.

I get Lemmy is the bird around here, but if you’re going to bad mouth Windows, at least do it for the many legitimate problems it has.

Windows 8 was when MS were trying to break into the phone OS market to complete with Android and iOS. They wanted to have the “same OS” across phone, tablet, and desktop, which isn’t a terrible idea except for the fact you need to betray your entire desktop customer base to get there.

My favourite part of Linux cli is you only know you’ve done something when you get no feedback at all.

I really enjoyed the second and third films, but I understand they didn’t perform as well.

I’ve heard there was scheduling conflicts with Channing Tatum which explains some of the disjointed character arcs. I guess they’d already advertised Tatum before the conflicts, so they tried to keep him in while replacing his characters story beats with Pedro Pascal.

I was really looking forward to a long running franchise that wasn’t afraid to go full tilt James Bond parody with over the top action.

It seems odd for Amazon to split it’s library across two streaming services.

It’s just a show. You should really just relax.

Theoretically, yes, but I suspect the manufacturing quality of SD cards is a lot lower than SSDs

Lol

“The best way to run arch is to have a second non-arch computer at all times”

I think that sums it up

I never liked the analogy of a social contract. A contract is something that people agree on. Most of society is just people going through life fairly passively, and inheriting the values of those around them.

A lot of hate comes from ignorance, whether taught or absorbed from someone’s surroundings. Not because they are opting out of some kind of previously agreed upon contract. I think that’s an important thing to recognise.

The paradox of tolerance is a hypothetical idea of complete tolerance, which I’m not sure ever exists in humans in the real world.

I’ve got a couple of 10TB HDDs. Is that enough?
