Lemmy did something weird with that link.
Just copy-paste the link text into a new browser tab instead of clicking it. - Comment on Pluto is still a planet, just a dwarf one 1 week ago:
The new definition is bullshit. Even earth hasn’t fully cleared its orbit.

- Comment on What's your contingency plan for the apocalypse? 1 week ago:
My workplace has field-tested contingency plans to keep the business running when literally all IT systems and the office building are inaccessible. Which is kinda impressive for a local newspaper.
For my private life, I don’t care. My IT stuff is only recreationaI.
I still have a radio, a DVD player, and books. - Comment on Crazy Taxi: World Tour announced and it's using generative AI 1 week ago:
In My Summer Car, the (singular) dev put a few paintings in the player character’s home that were made with AI.
He got lots of hate for it, and someone eventually created a mod that replaces the AI artwork with a real artist’s paintings……which he had downloaded from the internet and put in his mod without compensating, attributing, asking or informing the artist in any way…

- Comment on I know the Second World War arc was popular, but let's face it, the writers got lazy 1 week ago:

That’s a metaphor to show how closely the two countries are actually related.
- Comment on Naming it World War 1 was a bad omen 1 week ago:
Ernst Haeckel called it First World War in September 1914.
It was called that by other authors in the interwar period, for example Charles à Court Repington published The First World War in 1920.

That’s an argument against replacing the coreutils on your systems.
Which no one is forcing you to.
But how are you against someone rewriting them using their own time and resources? - Comment on Are you looking for sketchy overhead storage you can roll up? Look no further (and don't stand under them)! 1 month ago:
There are more points of failure there than the cable snapping.
This needs some redundant safety if you expect to ever walk or stand under it. - Comment on What was the Windows 3.0/1 graphical alternative that also ran on DOS? 3 months ago:
Sorry, I think I misunderstood your question.
And I had literally never heard of any Windows 3 alternatives up to now. - Comment on What was the Windows 3.0/1 graphical alternative that also ran on DOS? 3 months ago:
It looked like this:
ImageIt was pretty similar to modern Windows but without taskbar or Start menu.
Instead, you had a main window called “program manager” with icons in it to start other programs.
Do you have any specific questions about it?
