How good is it with background activities?
About the only thing holding me back is that my phone runs a continuous glucose monitor, constantly connecting with a small sensor in my arm. That all quietly dying in the background would just… not be an option.
Not my style
Not comfortable
Too cold
Neovim, because I wanted something that would not just disappear.
I never really got along with VSCode, opting for Atom instead. Microsoft bought GitHub, which owned Atom, and promptly discontinued it.
Nvim has such an active community (and no “owner”) that I’m certain that this won’t happen again. At the same time, the plugin system is so flexible that I’m also certain that I will never miss out on any shiny new features.
Over the years, my config has matured, and is mine. The thought of going back to an editor, any editor, less flexible in its configuration than nvim is just… an absolute “no”.
It’s a steep learning curve, but well worth it.
Yyyyyyupp
“Oh no, this device is rooted! :(” Yes because I know what I am doing, now show me my account balance you stupid piece of ahit banking app.
Don’t worry, I haven’t had to use Windows or MacOS since the early 2010s.
Summarize and find stuff, iirc
Oh, nice. Other way as well? Can I comment from my Lemmy instance’s web interface?
Why, what did I miss?
Well, good news! Windows File Explorer gets built-in AI actions, so you can combine the worst of both worlds! 🥳
No.
Apart from everything else, also consider that it’s just respectful to at least try and learn the local language of wherever it is you are going. Doesn’t matter if it’s on vacation or long term company deployment.
Also, LLMs are absolute garbage at picking up on things like subtle language-based jokes, for example.
A photo of yourself, naked, in that very shower. With your dick enlarged to a comical size. (Or shrunk.) (Yes this is a gender neutral suggestion.)
Yes. No case. Why would I? I specifically got the phone because it’s quite small, and feels nice in the hand. A case would ruin that.
I also have not dropped any of my phones once in the past ~10 years.
I dream of a pure information protocol. Kinda like RSS, but… More.
Essentially: I want “the feed” from universes like The Expanse
Even worse worse, he named prior projects after Culture ship names. Whose author despised him.
It probably contained Linux
If I had to guess? Ubuntu Studio 14.04
That’s still eugenics, just as side effect
Interesting. I always loved how they fit the musical entries into the story in a way that it makes sense that everyone is singing all of the sudden, lol
Iain M. Banks’ Culture.
I’m deathly afraid of the day some big studio manages to buy the rights and produce a Hollywood version of the Culture. Mostly because it is very easy to flip through the Wikipedia entries and then take the superficial aesthetic of the Culture and misunderstand or ignore the rest.
For an example on how easy it is to do this: I remember vividly when the German translations of the later books came out, and they all had some variation of
The Culture is the galaxy-spanning empire of mankind. Unbeknownst to its citizens however, their supposedly benevolent machine gods are about to dispense with the needs for humans at all"
in the blurb. Someone scanned the wiki page until they read something about “superhuman AI” or the like, then went “ah, got it, I’ve seen Terminator”.
In a similar vein, I cannot imagine that Hollywood would portray the Culture as an unquestionably good Utopia. They’d not be able to resist to paint the luxury gay space communists as “…with a dark secret / actually dystopian /…” tones.
Holy fucking shit I am not alone. Oh god. It’s real. I’m not alone.
