Am definitely human.

  • Which is why Macintosh floppy disk drives were changing their rotational speed depending on which cylinders were being accessed, so that the information density would in fact be uniform.

    Which is why a Mac floppy could hold 400/800k compared to a DOS floppy's 360/720k.

  • Altså til et første stop behøver det jo ikke at være sprit ny hardware, du kan jo sagtens finde en ældre maskine brugt og så er deres disk-krav vel ikke så vigtigt? Min 11 år gamle DS916+ (eller er det en 18+?) kører stadig upåklageligt.

  • So you're running bash "as if you're on the host systen". What's the benefit?

  • At least they're consistent, you gotta give them that much. 😞

    There's also the Ladybird browser that I really, really wanna cheer for. I could easily see it becoming the "saviour" that was Mozilla's role way back when.

  • Mozilla is not financially secure.

    Not while they pay their ever-changing string of CEO's millions and their contributors... wait, do they even still have contributors?

    Says I, who's been using nothing else for decades.

  • ...or someone who killed themselves...

  • Since the first time of seeing it on a Mac (Plus, probably), I've been in love with Palatino. It just seems to flow so nicely, and the italic is gorgeous.

    I missed it for many years until I found TeX Gyre Pagella.

  • For anyone not familiar with the Firefly show, your comment makes very little sense. So I'd just drop in to help.

    As a little bonus, did you notice that the AA guns in the very first battle scene were Wayland Yutani branded?

  • Adding to Vincent's reply, if Firefox truly goes away then we'd be looking to (only) Ladybird to save us.

  • That is disgusting.

    For what it's worth, I never have less than hundreds of tabs across dozens of windows, and I don't think I've ever pissed in a bottle.

    Also, it's not about bookmarks, I have a ton of those too - many of them with keywords for power querying.

  • I just want to build a little thing on an esp32 or my old raspi 2b that responds to any "Hey Google/Alexa/Siri" with an indifferent "nah, mate". I just haven't gotten around to putting or together yet.

  • And they got disqualified from the Oscars "because they cheated" -- the following year there was a brand new nomination category for computer generated effects...

  • When the fuck did you compare? Uh, wording, but whatever.

  • And "hellpers" on the cover, tee hee.

  • That last one is fun. Look at it for long enough and you'll realise it's actually a colour photo.

  • It's not OP's fault that the actual article title is click bait. They were kind enough to give the actual lede.

  • They are! They're slanted differently, one is seen from the top, the other from the tip.

  • Or battery life. I could care less if the new phone is 0.64mm thinner, spend that volume on extra joules instead.

    Sincerely,those of us who remember pda's with 14- or 25-day battery life.

  • Same! I find sketchup so incredibly intuitive compared to the other apps mentioned here, it just vanishes into the background of what I'm creating. Granted, it's got a few quirks running under Linux, and getting an STL file out if it requires a few hoops, but I can do things I can't do otherwise - not that the other apps can't make the shapes, but the parametric paradigm inhibits my creative flow.
