  • An Okapi bus in Yokohama

    Jump

  • Okapis are cool. There should be more of them.

  • It's Sunday 09/28/2025. Hey, What's Going On!

    Jump

  • (Hugs) hope it turns out ok. Do you need/want to talk about it?

  • Who would you describe as accidentally famous?

    Jump

  • That couple from the Coldplay kiss cam.

  • How could I order a package without my parents finding it?

    Jump

  • Have your parcels addressed to Poste Restante; ie: care of the post office. Should be a free service. Go in once a week with ID and ask if they have mail for you.

  • Head like a sieve

    Jump

  • Password manager. Remember only one password, different password for every other login. Unless you’re a KGB spy, you can write your password on a piece of paper in your desk drawer.

  • As of September 2025, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 156 of the 193 member states of the United Nations (UN), or approximately 80% of all UN members.

    Jump

  • Antarctica isn’t a sovereign country. Perhaps the map should indicate the slices of Antarctica that belong to countries that were included.

  • What largest explorable towns/cities from videogames do you remember?

    Jump

  • Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas from GTA San Andreas. I loved to spend hours just exploring, looking for the secret items, and finding the funny little easter eggs and references.

    The cities in Assassin's Creed. Can’t remember the names. Are they “big”? They seemed to be at the time. I only ever played the first game in the series; again, I loved wandering around and exploring.

  • Has anyone noticed ads have made you worse at reading?

    Jump

  • Various distros over the years; used OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Solaris for a while, back using Fedora at the moment.

  • There are no laws! We made the whole thing up!

    Jump

  • If she sells sea shells, what do you buy them with?

  • Has anyone noticed ads have made you worse at reading?

    Jump

  • No, been blocking ads for twenty years or more.

  • What are your thoughts on How to Win Friends and Influence People?

    Jump
  • Deleted

    Is it contradictory to be socially progressive and still want a traditional relationship?

    Jump

  • What is the question?

  • I really dont...

    Jump

  • Does anybody still use “a good/favourite password” any more? Use a password manager, create a different password or pass phrase for every site, and save your good/favourite password for your password manager. (Unless you’re a sleeper spy for the KGB, writing your password on a piece of paper is fine).

  • Favorite Movie With Practical Effects?

    Jump

  • The Empire Strikes Back

  • My blue is your blue: different people’s brains process colours in the same way

    Jump

  • Every colour you “see” is an interpretation of incoming light data to the eyes transformed into nerve signals to the brain. Each person has a different set of eyes and nerves, so it is likely that each person interprets (“sees”) colour differently.

    TLDR: colours are a pigment of the imagination

  • Removed

    Which stage are you at?

    Jump

  • Somewhere between Debian and SuSE on this chart, because the distros at that end are the ones that I’ve used the most. However, one can never say, “I know everything now”; and I have no doubt that other people have knowledge and skills that I lack. In this industry, you can never stop learning; knowledge is never wasted (unless like me, you look fondly back at uucp and troff).

  • Type faces (“fonts”) and typesetting. I personally like a face with a large x-height, double story open loop g, and a full range of f-ligatures. The art of lead typesetting has disappeared in favour of software solutions; TeX does a beautiful job, particularly when using Knuth’s faces. (Adobe’s InDesign also deserves an honourable mention, but it’s unfortunately proprietary and closed-source). And when using standard TrueType or OpenType faces, the difference between a page generated by either of them, and one output by Microsoft Word, for example, is noticeably staggering.

  • What music do you like to fall asleep to?

    Jump

  • Rain sounds, Arabian instrumental ambient, Enya, Hildegard von Bingen. Some nights one playlist doesn’t work for me so I use another.

  • Mark Zuckerberg, the Lawyer, Is Suing Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO

    Jump

  • Going months at a time without his Facebook account for his legal practice has allegedly cost him thousands of dollars in advertising and communication with clients

    Take a hint, get a professional website and don’t rely on Facebook to host your business.
