Gork, to linux in on arch btw.

I remember being endlessly entertained by the rotating cube animation between workspaces in the old Beryl implementation.

I told my wife, “but does your Windows do this?” Followed by rotating the cube. She was like, “I don’t care.” And that was that.

I shall tell this story to my grandkids.

Gork, to memes in Calculus? Nah, bro, that's easy stuff

This is why we need an ISO Toilet Paper Standard.

Gork, to lemmyshitpost in Cast out from the jungle / With no rations or canteen

Are they casting Sauron’s rings in that thing? Jeebus.

Gork, to memes in Solid advice

Extra Virgin Motor Oil, cold pressed, coming right up.

Gork, (edited ) to risa in It's surprisingly easy to mix up a couple of coordinates

This is the reason I don’t like materialization/dematerialization transporters. Not only do they have the risk of coordinate failure like in the meme, but also:

  1. The person on the other side isn’t guaranteed to be the same person when rematerialized. There’s the ontological argument that when you’re dematerialized, you die as your physical form is eliminated and that the person appearing on the other side is merely a clone of you, but not you.
  2. Alien interference or environmental contamination can mess up the person on rematerialization. Even small changes can alter the delicate brain chemistry we meatbags have.
  3. Being stuck in the ship’s memory buffer while it verifies an open teleporter slot can’t be very fun or comfortable.

This is why I only support non-dematerializing wormhole based travel where spacetime itself opens for you to enter. Less chance of mistakes.

Gork, to linux in Overheating laptop, should I try a lighweight distro - which one?

Honestly the best thing you can do is to remove and reapply thermal paste to the CPU / GPU. Go for something with a high thermal conductivity. There are plenty of videos online on reapplying thermal paste and that will definitely cool off your laptop when done correctly as it increases heat transfer to your heat sinks and fans.

Gork, to memes in 𓇋𓇩𓋴𓆰𓏜𓄤𓆑𓂋𓏏 𓅨𓂋𓇓𓅱

This is why I change mine to something difficult to comprehend yet still legible.

Something like:

“FOURWORDSALLLOWERCASE”, one word, all uppercase.

Gork, to memes in D'aww

Just trying to get at that donutussy

Gork, to science_memes in best time of my life!!

The entire post-PhD phase put me off getting a PhD. I’d rather work an office job than trying to constantly scramble for Grant funding literally all the time on top of the demands of teaching, research, and the constant pressure to write papers.

Gork, to memes in Calculus? Nah, bro, that's easy stuff

You could buy 240 containers of ricotta cheese and 60 cups of cheese that way you’ll have the exact amount you need.

This is the Hebrew National 7 hot dog to 8 hot dog bun pack solution.

Gork, to memes in it do be like that

It’s how I figured out Henry Kissinger died, so it can’t be all that bad.

Gork, to linuxmemes in happy 1_700_000_000 everyone!

Nothing existed prior to January 1, 1970.

It is known.

Gork, to memes in It's either this or the church of the flying spaghetti monster

Oh, Adobe, PDF’s guardian, we plea, For structured files and blessings, it’s thee. Keep our documents safe, steadfast, and true, In the world of pixels, we turn to you.

Amen.

(The new 2023 Adobe Acrobat DC UI redesign can go duck itself though)

Gork, to memes in switch.....

AMOLED is best LED

Gork, to memes in Night vs Morning people

I’m a night owl and even early morning acclimatization hasn’t helped.

There were a few months that I had to do 12.5 hour shift work where I had to be at work at 5:30 AM and I was miserable the entire time. It’s hard to adjust when your natural cycle is like 10 am to 2 am.
