The Amiga had the ability to have multiple video screens that you could drag down and even display partially at the same time in different video modes, which was impressive. I don’t recall virtual desktops but I suppose Workbench had that, idk.
Anyway I was just referring to my experience with workspaces/multiple virtual desktops in KDE or whatever.
Jesus apparently didn’t teach them to wash their feet in a normal way. Just pouring the water all over the floor? Pretty sure even in biblical times they knew how to use a basin.
Kind of. Not sure what’s out there now but circa 2008 there were Linux distros with multiple virtual desktops each with their own virtual desktop. So you could have one with 3 virtual desktops of its own, another with 3 different virtual desktops of its own, and so forth. Good for true power users but it could get confusing fast.
This is… as someone who has visited and lived across the whole US, not entirely accurate.
The phrase “national divorce” is irritating but that wasn’t a horrible article, I suppose. Rep. Greene’s idea of “separate by red states and blue states” is ludicrous. I do have to wonder who benefits from spreading such soundly idiotic ideas such as secession, “divorce” or civil war. It sure as fuck would not be the average person or people who benefit from the US being strong or functional. Republicans are suckers for it because, as usual, they have serious intellectual and emotional issues. Conservative states would be completely fucked by being forced to be a separate country. The change in global political power would also be massive and I can only imagine the effects that would have even if the transition was quick and painless, which I doubt.
Anyway, there is not really any such thing as a “red state” or “blue state” and I miss the times before the media popularized those terms. They dramatically overstate the balance of population who support the one side in those states - a “red” state might be one where 60% of voters consistently back republicans, but calling the state “red” ignores the existence of everyone in the minority there. There are also the issues of voter suppression and unequal access to voting, which might make the state not so “red” if not present. So there isn’t any reasonable or fair way to partition the US and I wish people would stop taking such an incredibly stupid idea seriously.
Nice, now let’s change “full self driving” to “not even close to full self driving”
That’s essentially what they’ve been trying to do in an extremely incompetent and in effective way for many years now. We’d actually be better off if they explicitly did it 10 years ago.
Splendid. Not as if I’m a music label or copyright fan, but Elton thinks he can thumb his nose at everyone and perhaps he can’t.
Technically it’s without synthetic herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers. It doesn’t mean pesticide/herbicide free.
The scenario here is that you have been transported back to a relatively primitive time. It’s unclear that you’d have the support of any sort of society or access to agricultural products or any sort of food source. So, it could be a survival scenario. You seem to be confusing modern “hunting for fun” with subsistence and avoiding starvation.
At some point on the chain of the creation of the renewable energy equipment, carbon releasing and polluting energy and mining was used to create it.
Hunting and self defense is not about being a dick.
As far as wanting to go down in history, not sure how that helps you after your demise.
That’s a good point. If it’s strong enough to start a fire, that’s serious power. The only issue is running out of battery power.
the firearm and bullets have distinct utility.
It sounds like he is suggesting you develop your skills and knowledge a fair amount from where you are now, and is open to you applying in the future… like, maybe 6 months to a year would be my guess.
Still makes a big difference. China? Bottle rockets are just like ok, you have some bottle rockets. India? Spices are just okay, you have some spices. India might appreciate the keyboard more than Europeans, like “nice, a versatile harmonium!” vs “OMG Satan” like you might get in Europe. North America and you might be able to convince a tribe that you’re a shaman with Super Mushrooms using the LSD.
The motorcycle had better be a dirt bike or it’s not going to be of much use except maybe in China or where there were vestiges of Roman roads.
The spices and the laser pointer? You can just pretend to be a spice trader and when needed, blind people to escape.
The dab pen and magic keyboard were tempting, but De. Wesker made a good point ab out witchcraft.
Motorcycle might be cool because you can melt it down or disassemble it once you run out of fuel.
Another important question is Medieval times where?
In Lemmy Shitpost: yes
otherwise: no
He keeps listening to 5 seconds of an annoying song, then switching to another song.
Probably looking at social media like TikTok or Instagram. I had a gf who did this and it drove me insane… since they’re watching the video and obviously not thinking about anyone else, I’d hear the same 8 second snippet of music 3 times in a row, then a different one.
It’s good if you have sets of apps open for different tasks. I used to have one for programming (text editor/browser/console) and one for graphic editing (gimp/console/image viewer/blender), and one for general browsing/time wasting, all on two monitors. Pretty handy to keep your focus.
