marcos,

You have probably already seen this:

xkcd.com/705/

Anyway, people are mostly not like that anymore.

marcos,

It wasn’t all that useful.

Instead of the battery dying and you throwing your phone away, it just happened that the battery died, and you searched for a compatible one, that either didn’t exist or cost 70% of the price of a new phone, so you threw your phone away.

Now, if you want to talk about standard battery sizes, I’m listening.

marcos,

There are so many great ideas on the new trilogy that are just thew there on the movies and never expanded into a coherent story…

It seriously implies it would spark joy.

marcos,

Hum… Ok.

Why does systemd have a directory of active scripts if it needs to activate the scripts on its internal configuration too?

marcos,

The Perl version of it is even greater!

marcos, (edited )

It will very gladly show you all the resources are being consumed by some service you don’t need, can’t uninstall or disable, and will just consume more resources by restarting if you terminate the process.

marcos,

As long as the same text continues relevant…

What do you guys do when you want to run unmaintained programs? (lemmy.world)

I recently wanted to run tegaki, and my experience is pretty much summed up by the meme. I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, but I just couldn’t figure out how to compile it. So I just gave up, downloaded the .exe and put it into a fresh wine prefix. After installing CJK fonts, everything ran fine. Now I’m trying to get...

marcos,

Yep, if you manage to make it run on them, you are set forever.

marcos,

And theodolites.

marcos,

That person isn’t welcome on the beach house.

marcos,

As long as their salary keeps increasing, I’d say go for it!

marcos,

Well, as far as we know, somebody could be hiring gorillas to punch airplane doors out of place.

marcos,

Yeah, I know. The force a gorilla can make is minuscule compared to what those doors withstand normally.

It’s only a joke.

marcos,

Well, it is a planet everyone overlooks.

I find it really interesting how bad heroes on movies have to be completely over the top and people still mostly don’t get them.

In a book Anakin could be broken by the Jedi radicalism even if everybody acted humane. But I guess a movie couldn’t have enough time for this.

marcos,

Almost the entire point of the prequels is that the Jedi are horrible.

So, yeah. That’s how they do it.

marcos,

Last time I got a scare like that, it was the monitoring agent that had some code with a performance that depended o the number it measured.

marcos,

Well, next time somebody invents a god, please make sure it’s somebody that will punish you if you believe in any god.

marcos,

I don’t have solutions, but I have a pressing question: why?

I’m not sure OpenOffice is even supposed to work nowadays.

(Anyway, maybe try running from a terminal. Usually programs log the errors into it.)

marcos,

You meant if the 3D GCI where only the voice and movements of the people are used is cheaper than the 3D CGI where the people’s appearance is used too?

I have no idea, but the difference can’t be very big.

marcos,

Have you ever put a polar orbit on a map? If that isn’t a drunk beetle, I don’t know what is.

\s but I sure hope this one is absurd enough for nobody to say it seriously.

marcos,

I’m pretty sure the comic was supposed to be a joke about Die Hard.

marcos,

I’m passionate about quite a lot of things.

A day job isn’t one of those, but it’s not a single-use line.

marcos,

People keep insisting Starbucks drinks have coffee on them… Here in Brazil we’d get the same amount of caffeine in a, well, we call it a coffee cup, it has something around 80ml (2oz), and good luck finding any image of it on the English-speaking internet.

marcos,

Here in Brazil we have a bird that will attack anything that comes close to its nest. (That they make in low grass.)

Airports have constant swipes looking for them.
