  Just go back to gopher.

  That’s why the McDonald’s bags have those two paper rings. It’s to hang the bag from your ears.

  You wear shoes outside?

  So, the IEEE has an actual norm for marketing speak.
  Which, honestly, ought to happen more often.

  What’s this? Sugar Daddy Magazine?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  True, it’s not typical. It’s comfortable though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The 5k monitor is a 49 inch model from MSI. The laptop is a compact model from Lenovo, a Yoga Pro something or other. Not sure what its resolution is (3k something by 2k something from what I remember), just that it’s needlessly high for its screen size, requiring UI scaling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Victorian Baby Yeet Machine⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How precise is it? Can you hit a small window?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, native resolution, it’s fine.

  Not so on my laptop with an insane resolution of like 2k by 3k on a 13 or 14 inch screen though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How accurate is this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Two people? What do you need two people for? You make the food and then you give it to the customer, it’s not rocket surgery! Now get to it you lazy bum!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m using a 5k by 1200 monitor and it’s awesome with Kde. I suppose it would be equally great with other interfaces.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But VR can do a lot of cool things, 3d… not so much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  8k would be cool to display lots of windows at the same time but fairly useless for gaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bri'ish Cuisine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That rice could probably have been cooked for another hour or two. I mean, I’m sure that you can still see the individual grains.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Currency⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t have to eat it, just like you didn’t have to exchange your money for gold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best free version of word?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same, and Star Office before it (and Applix before that).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember when buying shoes came off as some kind of science. The shoe sales person was always considered right⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the shoe shop guy was the one most at risk here, unless that woman bought shoes daily. He got exposed to leaked radiation with every customer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks 🙏🏻⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Otoh, they mostly make it up as they go while ignoring everything around them, so your mileage may vary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are they different shapes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Decoration, apparently. Or a fashion accessory, maybe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Micron to boost DRAM output with $1.8bn chip fab buy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All those people saying that swap was useless must be feeling quite silly nowadays.

  When you look inside a cow, there’s actually no burger to be found. There’s definitely something fishy.

  Fedora (like pretty much any distribution) runs most games just fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you use an AMD gpu, there’s actually fewer steps to go from empty disk to playing a game

  That’s the theory, assuming that the Amd Gpu works with Linux. It might also just crash your system, which is a know problem of the driver, which hasn’t been fixed.

  I don’t have a cat, maybe next door?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dating⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tourist hunters are different. They know France is, for some reason, the first worldwide destination and flock here to steal your wallets. They’ll be on the steps to the Sacré Cœur to tie a bit of string around your wrist while a comparse grabs your wallet, you’ keys, your underwear and your toupee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dating⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, obviously. Although if you’re from the US, that’s true for most of Europe.

  Hey, they’re recycling the classics!
