  • Truth hurts!

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Oh cool ecofascism

  • 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.

  • How picky are you when it comes to choosing your entertainment?

    Jump

  • I'm extremely picky, but considering I spend most of my free time in MMOs, I cant really pretend to be some sort of game sommelier.

  • If I had a dollar for every time I saw a liberal on lemmy bringing up fictitious UYgHUr GeNoCiDE.....

  • Every single "evidence" I've ever seen of this genocide ended up as hoax (remember the meat truck?), so I think it's pretty safe to say it isn't a thing.

  • What will you do after Android starts restricting FOSS apps?

  • Maybe you can use credit cards for everything but here it would be expected to be able to, at worst, pay with a direct transfer, and you'd need a banking app for that.

  • I mean, unless there's some alternative that banking apps and such will work on there really isn't much you can do right?
