  • It's incredibly interesting how, according to western media, all the ukrainian attacks on russian infrastructure never cause any deaths but russian attacks always cause deaths every time.

  • cobol post

    Jump

  • COBOL itself isn't really that bad. It's the lack of modern toolling you'd expect that will make you tear your hair apart. And also JCL. Fuck JCL.

  • Truth hurts!

  • The problem is that the current definition makes no sense and is, frankly, bad.

    400 people, for a huge scientific community like astronomy, is bad. Heck even if they were literally all the astronomers in the world, the fact that it was proposed and voted on basically the same day should be noteworthy at the very least.

    And no one here is angry. I was just pointing out that name calling for no reason doesn't really add to the discussion, even a low stakes one like this.

  • 70 ish people were struck

    Jump

  • People say a lot more than what their words mean all the time. Having that in art is just part of being made by people.

  • Truth hurts!

    Jump

  • It's because the definition includes things that aren't really about the object itself and more about where it is. And also how inconsistent it is, as Mercury isn't in hydrostatic equilibrium and yet is explicitly included as a planet by the IAU. Nevermind the fact that the new definition was speed voted and approved by less than 400 astronomers in a convention where 2500+ people attended, let alone not even being discussed with the larger scientific community.

    But hey, if you'd rather dismiss my points because of an url, you do you. Not like this changes our everyday live anyway.

  • Truth hurts!

    Jump

  • It's about keeping the solar system small and simple. There would be tens of planets, in the old definition.

  • Truth hurts!

    Jump

  • Except when you actually read about the change in Pluto's status and how unscientific it actually is.

  • is there any reason to try CachyOS over EndeavourOS or are they pretty much the same?

    Jump

  • Mostly programming (when my day job hasn't drained me of all the energy) and the usual stuff you'd only really do on a desktop and not on a phone, like documents, light image editing and spreadsheets, nothing fancy.

    Jump

  • Thanks for the reply! I always nuke the main drive whenever reinstalling anyway so the home folder is not a problem. I guess since you did the same switch as I'm thinking of (and yes, PopOS gave me some headaches I never imagined I'd have in this day and age) I'll probably follow your recommendation.

    Jump

  • Maybe it is, but almost every time someone does anything other than game they usually are steered away from it.

    Jump

  • I was under the impression that their aggressive pruning of things usually used for workstation tasks would hamper a sane use of it. From what I've gathered they even removed the usual python bins that come with most linux distros these days, as an example.

    Jump

  • I don't really mind at this point, if I'm installing from a package repo of some sorts I prefer using the terminal anyway. It's mostly if I'm downloading something from the browser that I'd like to be able to just double click, but it's not a big deal anyway.

  • If Russia is fighting against Nazis in Ukraine

    Jump

  • I mean only ukraine has difficulty taking pictures of their soldiers without Nazi patches and tattoos being present. But maybe it's all russian propaganda

  • Valve confirms Steam Machine will be priced ‘like a PC with the same level of performance’

    Jump

  • I hope they release the price soon, the discourse on this has become incredibly tiring.

  • I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteries

    Jump

  • No, AAs are crap. Charge your stuff when you go to sleep and you'll never have problems.

  • They even do Price Discrimination on video games now

    Jump

  • Except you need to make even more money. You can't do that by simply letting things continue as they are.

  • US deploys aircraft carrier towards Venezuela

    Jump

  • They must have reached the conclusion that their surface fleet would just be a liability, it makes no sense to waste resources on this. But then again, they haven't been able to stop the war in Ukraine so it's unlikely they could do anything to China any time soon.
