I suspect my first Linux ran on an 80mhz AMD K6. I did however also run it on a retired dual core UltraSPARC some years later I had somehow gotten my hands on. It might have been faster, but at that time it sure felt slow. And it sounded like a train passing through when it was on. In retrospect installing Gentoo on it was an optimistic endeavour.

I like dark mode and tabs. Now I actually use it a lot more. I don’t like adding a gibberish generator…

Rapists, gang members, democrats, red haired people, wokists… You know. The enemy!

If America is at war he could remain President, right? And guess what he’s preparing for…

Danish: It concerns me a feather

Yes, that was very precisely chosen eight uninterrupted minutes of absolute cringe by the American leadership I saw. I’m sure the rest more than made up for the uncut embarrassing clown act the legacy media had chosen to air.

Me neither, but honestly it could go either way. On the one hand he’s super pro privatisation and giving rich people more money. On the other he’s releasing all the prisoners. The white Nazis anyway.

“Resynthesizer is a Gimp plug-in for texture synthesis. Given a sample of a texture, it can create more of that texture. This has a surprising number of uses: Creating more of a texture. (including creation of tileable textures)”

In case you, like I, didn’t know.

I don’t know, I think I’ve seen a frog it might look like more than Kermit…

Is no one going to comment on the “magnified five times under a microscope”? Five times? What kind of weak, low refraction plastic lens, cost of bubblegum microscope are you using to magnify your enormous monster ants?

So, if they were endangered cows and your friend didn’t like milk, the milk would be vegan…?

It dissolves, that’s where dust comes from.

I haven’t tried it, and it seems to be in alpha, but… Kotlin?

Does Google do that? Apple absolutely does it, but has Google ever done that?

My university mainly ran Solaris, pretty much everything also ran on Linux. In the rare case where Windows was required a remote desktop was available.

My university probably isn’t your university though, so answers may not be worth much…

To me, a Linux user, Apple is more of a jail or a pusher. I don’t want to use it because of lock in. Oh, you have an iPod? It’s much better with a Mac. An iPhone? All your friends should also have it, and now we have this special app you can only use properly with other apple users.

No thanks.

I agree! Can we also get rid of politicians, mosquitoes and people who use their phone at the cinema?

We have slackbots that post, for instance, who has vecation every day. Because it is configured to post this using UTC, the time of day this is posted changes twice a year.

I might have a recurring appointment for lunch in my calendar every day at noon. Now DST happened, so I have to wait until one to eat. That is inconsistent to me.

Timezones change. If I have to go to the theatre on half a year at 18:00, I don’t want to be there at 19:00 because someone decided local time would be better if we moved it an hour. The show time certainly won’t be moved.

What is local time? It’s spacetime. When did it happen and if relevant (eg. a photo) what was the offset (because I would like to know the time of day)? When will it happen, and where? Online meetings across timezones are tricky, of course, but excluding the timezone won’t improve that.

It is? Without even mentioning it?

To be clear I believe it makes sense to do a lot of things in UTC, but future events should almost always be local time + timezone to make scheduling predictable and consistent to humans.

To be fair, returning the actual timezone (as defined by tz.db) is useful if you don’t just want the current time since you’ll be able to take DST into account. Not sure how Vienna is -8 though, it should be +1 (or 2 depending on DST).
