Car sickness while eating a blueberry nutrigrain bar and now I can’t eat anything with cooked blueberries. I used to love eating blueberry muffins.

Its hard to imagine resizing that many windows can be smoothly done. Has anyone played this?

I don’t think any builds have been compiled yet. I have no real knowledge how, but but you could build your own by downloading developer tools an cloning the codebase. Probably better just to wait. How were you downloading Simple Mobile Tools previously?

Seems reasonable to change your first name to make your life more convenient, but unless people encounter these names, they’ll never used to saying them.

In the UK it takes knowledge to know how to pronounce Irish names but one you’ve met a few Siobhans and Eoins you get used to it.

There is an element of historical oppression here though. Some people choose to use an Irish spelling because, well, the English keep trying to erase other cultures. That example didn’t work out as well as I thought it would.

Is sci-fi because of Wesley Crusher from Star Trek

How does someone inflate their knees?

I just finished The Disposessed and found it critiqued both the capitalist and anarchist society. The people of Annares have simple happiness, but they starve and strive to keep the society alive. It’s also very explicit that it only works because they don’t uphold their anarchist ideals and coerce everyone into work through social pressure.

I think a film would work and would present a “you could have a different society, but it would never be a paradise” type idea.

I manage to live without Amazon. I just pretend it doesn’t exist, I don’t know if it’s cheaper or quicker on Amazon as I don’t see it (I use a search engine that can block results). It’s also probably other aspects of my life that also make it possible, spare money, spare time, no kids, live in a city.

What a relief. What I was dreading was that it was parody and M$ had added this to Windows 11.

I’m guessing the joke here is that due to iPhones having text and icons in the same places on many screens this leads to more cases of Screen Burn-in. The image shows an iPhone displaying a white image that then highlights this fault with the phone and the title makes a joke comparing these always visible marks on the screen to the ‘always-on’ feature where the screen displays information even when the screen is ‘off’.

I think the reason Gnome is good is the same thing that makes them insufferable. They believe there is a right way to do things, sometimes those are things you like, sometimes they aren’t.

Is this a joke?

I’m interested in a framework laptop for the environmental perspective, but I also think a pre-owned high end device would be faster and with smaller impact.

Contributing to OpenStreetMap. I try to bring it up because it would be great to get more contributors to the project, but either I have to explain “It’s Wikipedia, but a map” or they come out with misunderstandings about the project that aren’t worth correcting. E.g not liking the icons used to display points on the map.
