paholg, to lemmyshitpost in Okay, okay, you talked me into coffee.

I think it’s “mela”.

It’s so weird to see him in a uniform with no visor.

Depends on how traditional you want to get. The original metric was the number of 14" shells something could survive. Given that, 20 seems pretty good for a car.

paholg, to linuxmemes in What do you guys do when you want to run unmaintained programs?

Why isn’t there a way for Linux users to automatically install every missing dependency for a program?

There is; actually there are several. Every^* distribution has a package manager, that’s what it does. But you have to make a package for the program, similar to what the tegaki folks have done for Mac and Windows.

Another option is to statically link everything.

One issue is the fragmentation; because there are so many Linux distributions, it’s hard to support packages for all of them. This is one thing that flatpack aims to solve.

I would expect this to be an issue for old closed-source software, but not for old free software. Usually there’s someone to maintain packages for it.

Some cursory searching shows no tegaki package on flathub or in nix (either of these can be used on any distro; the nix one is surprising to me; it hosts soooo many packages).

But I do see it in Debian: packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=…

Yeah, the few at the top bring in revenue, but most don’t. Speculating on future revenue is not helpful.

If you’d read the links I shared, you’d see the revenue figures include alumni donations, and they’re still a net negative for the majority of schools.

Do you have a source that sports are a net financial positive for schools?

Here’s an article about students being charged thousands of dollars each per year for sports programs: nbcnews.com/…/hidden-figures-college-students-may…

Here’s an article showing that only 25/65 Division I schools had a net positive revenue from sports: bestcolleges.com/…/do-college-sports-make-money/, with those losing money losing a lot more than the ones making money.

Another: pbs.org/…/analysis-who-is-winning-in-the-high-rev…

Just search for “college sports net revenue” and I’d be surprised if you find much, if anything, that agrees with you.

paholg, to lemmyshitpost in It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

I agree, with one huge exception. Why the hell are you wasting your lucky coin applying for jobs?

Also, sure, do some trades once to get some starter money. But that’s a waste of your precious 12 hours a month. As is going for walks. You can be on vacation the other 98% of the time; spend every second of your penny time doing as much good as you can.

Cure diseases, solve nuclear fusion, end wars and violence, build infrastructure. There seems to be no limit the way it’s worded. Hell, build the Enterprise from Star Trek (or a better space ship) and spend your non-penny time exploring the galaxy.

Do physical laws even apply? Can you build replicators for everyone? How about a mansion in a tardis for every person on the planet?

For how long do you have to try something to succeed at it? Maybe you can do each of these things in just a couple seconds. If that’s the case, maybe penny time will quickly become non-valuable if you run out of ideas.

The yellow blocks didn’t fit the desired story, so were disregarded as outliers.

paholg, to linuxmemes in Opening a full editor is overrated

I just learned that the Mac version of sed requires a backup file for the -i flag, making it really hard to write cross-platform scripts that use it.

paholg, to movies in Nintendo has officially announced a live-action 'Legend of Zelda' movie.

Well, excuse me princess.

Dishwashers do a pre-wash to get most of the big stuff off, then a main wash to finish up. If you use the capsule-things, there’s only soap for the main wash.

If your dishwasher has two compartments, then put detergent in both as one is for the pre-wash and one for the main wash.

If it doesn’t have two compartments, then just put some detergent loose with the dishes for the pre-wash.
