Since I saw that primates have a sense of humor, things like this don’t surprise me as much, because it’s not like they’re similar to us, it’s that we are very similar to them. It’s natural to share many traits.

Seems they’re working on that https://wiki.opennic.org/opennic/tls

I’ve always wondered if cells created viruses, or if viruses are a natural consequence of complex genetics. They look so useless, having no need to reproduce, yet killing cells to do it uncontrollably. They don’t even feed, what is their purpose?

– Sir, you need to walk a bit to recover faster.

– Take my signs already and don’t interrupt me!

More pragmatically, time travel for a casual party would be risky because you’re carrying germs many generations apart. Time travelers would wear full-body suits or risk dramatically altering history. They could not drink or eat anything.

Imagine your time machine has spiders at the time of your arrival, because it had a small defect that grew into an opening after several years.

“Ha ha, I can’t see anything, but it seems like time travel tickles”

Let’s Encrypt is a trusted, established alternative, it could replace Microsoft for long-lived software certificates.

Or tarnish its name associating it with malware and bad actors, who knows?

For USAians, a fifth of a kilogram is 200 grams, almost two quarter pounder burgers.

I didn’t know the song was offensive, don’t know how it entered my library!

What a bunch of marigold flowers, any sign of trouble and they immediately backtrack. If they’re going to be horrible people, at least have the courage to admit it. There’s plenty of scum who would associate with them regardless.

IMO, compared to this early 2020s, the early 2000s were amazing. Even the 2010s were a lot better than this cursed timeline we entered.

Except UwUbuntu. We don’t speak of that thing here, or anywhere.

Edit: that was a bad joke, but it seems something like it (UwUntu) does exist! https://uwuntuos.site/

I’m guilty of saying Ubuntu when I mean Kubuntu. Gnome became stupidly minimalistic by following Apple’s philosophy , I prefer KDE’s customization and the old-school feeling of choice it gives you.

Kubuntu used to be very buggy before, but nowadays the LTS release is very stable.

Whatever Ubuntu 22.04 LTS shipped. I know we have many tools to micromanage energy in Linux, and I’ve used them in the past, but I think it’s fairer to compare Windows vs Ubuntu out-of-the-box, without tweaks.

I haven’t done recent comparisons, maybe it has gotten better these days. I use Ubuntu LTS, so I’ll have a good opportunity for before/after benchmarking this April.

Fingerprint reader: that thing looks at me every day, obscenely suggesting I boot up Windows instead of Linux so I can stroke it gently and login conveniently.

Oh, also battery life. Windows always has managed to extract more uptime from a single charge in my laptop.

My own penmanship would give their penmanship tetanus if they fought.

I can see many people could sloth their life away, specially during the transition, but other many will pursue their hobbies, passionately tackle things we deem unprofitable, or just find a job anyway because they want more money.

UBI is meant to be a safety net so no one falls in poverty, not a sum that allows people to live lavishly forever. At least not until the machines generate enough money for that.

But it guarantees we’re good fuckers.

It seems I need to file a complaint then!

Very big caveat: while our primate cousins manage to eat some meat from time to time, it was our domestication of fire more than a million year ago that allowed us to access plenty of calories and nutrients from almost any food, everything was suddenly on the table, and was made easy to chew and digest. We are more omnivorous than the naturally omnivorous animals.

Conversely, it’s surprising to see fruit so high up, while fish and poultry are in the middle. Does this mean only vegetarian people eat healthy? Hardly believable for an omnivorous animal like humans.
