Does LibreOffice have an online version?
- Comment on Don’t Panic! How to Fight Fascism as a Student of the Past 3 days ago:
Let’s be naïve and think either approach alone can win this. We need the backing of physical violence to back the right ideas, and we need the right ideas to steer action, or it won’t work.
- Comment on YSK that if you hover your mouse over each segment of Wikipedia's IPA pronunciation key (typically found at the beginning of an article), it will let you know how it sounds in the tooltip 3 days ago:
OP is BOOBS upside down.

France is on the same path, for instance.
- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 3 days ago:
Oof. Take it to a machine shop and grind it down?
- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 4 days ago:
Cast iron works great on induction though.
- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 4 days ago:
That one that works with all pans is an electric resistance coil. It’s slow as molasses. But hey, more power to you if you can use it well. I have a standalone induction unit as well and it’s amazing how little I have to use anything else.

Shit.
- Comment on Engineers achieve multiplexing entanglement in quantum network 4 days ago:
Tunneling electron microscopy exists for over 30 or 40 years. That’s a direct application of quantum physics. IBM even famously “reversed the polarity” on one of its sub-10-atoms tip in order to pick and place nitrogen molecules on a flat surface, writing their logo with it. (And proving they could build nano machines.)

How so?

Everybody is always looking back in time.

Mander is a science focused instance, I encourage you to look at the existing communities here. If you need help figuring out how to see a list of communities of a particular lemmy instance, let me know. Welcome!

Oh, glorious!
- Comment on 2,000-year-old spoon from Isle of Man may have been used in blood rituals for fortune telling 1 week ago:
There’s nothing in the article telling us why they think that spoon was used in a blood ritual.
- Comment on WVU research shows buyers believe karma, not boycotts should punish brands for bad behavior 1 week ago:
Hinduism, I think. Though I guess karma is a concept that spans multiple religions.
- Comment on Evidence of cannibalism 18,000 years ago 1 week ago:
Agreed. Most western cultures will pump the fluids out of their dead and replace it with chemicals that keep them from decomposing. Which is also gross and creepy.
Maybe there’s no good way to dispose of a body.
- Comment on Evidence of cannibalism 18,000 years ago 1 week ago:
Ritual “cannibalism” is still in practice today. Some South American tribes will burn their revered dead and mix the ashes with the communal food, so the redirected member would continue to live and empower the tribe.

- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for that. In this day and age, hearing something positive is a bliss, even it’s just deradicalizing hexers.
- Comment on 42links: A bookmarking server, written in Lisp 3 weeks ago:
I have programmed in Scheme Lisp in college as the underlying language for Fundamentals of Information Structure. A very adequate language for that purpose. It also taught me the value of text editors that adoro completed brackets. Never more.
Anyway, thank you for creating a debloated tool. I will never be able to join you in your development, is all.
- Comment on 42links: A bookmarking server, written in Lisp 3 weeks ago:
Dude runs Solaris and OpenBSD, programming in Lisp is just an expansion of his quirkiness.
- Comment on YSK there are other Pixelfed mobile clients than the flagship app (that include dark mode!) 3 weeks ago:
I can’t use light mode without inducing a migraine. It’s nice that we’re at a point in history where most apps have at least two accessible themes for different folks.
- Comment on What do people use for a shelf-stable backup 3 weeks ago:
Completely understandable. I say this as someone with way more photos in digital only media than I should.
- Comment on What do people use for a shelf-stable backup 3 weeks ago:
Having actual prints has always been the consensus among activists. No digital media lasts as long. The media may persist but the technology to read them is long gone.
- Comment on What do people use for a shelf-stable backup 3 weeks ago:
For photos? Archival prints. As a bonus, you also get a cool album to reminisce later in life.

You’re confusing federation with self hosting.
