Isn’t g typically used for the gravity of earth? And G for the general gravitational constant (independent of mass) in Newton’s gravity law?

Never skip back day

The light is green. Why are you not moving?

I use them all the time!

The lord is a good boy

This is why you put the preprint on arxiv

I’ve seen so many of these, I forgot what the guy actually looks like

What makes you think that? Nazi Germany was very interested in science and engineering, at least in the disciplines that develop weapons.

Is that something that only happens to women?

It was weirdly focused on authors rather than individual books, anyway. Any suggestions for a replacement?

If you find an encrypted drive, it’s extremely unlikely you can recover anything from it. If there is no LUKS header, it’s pretty much impossible.

Let me know if you find out lol

Be gay, do crime?

Yes, but wouldn’t the person on the left be more likely to push than the one on the right, as they could save more lives by sacrificing one?

I played the first Stalker game for the first time recently, and if you save while undetected, then get detected and load your save, you’ll still be detected. Almost drove me mad.

It’s definitely possible to make windows suck less. But no matter how proficient you are with windows, I don’t think it is possible to recreate the look-and-feel of Linux. Fundamentally, it is just not a modular system where you can switch out e.g. the bootloader, filesystems or the desktop environment. And even if you tried to, there is no source code, no mailing list, no comprehensive wiki, no Github issues where people already figured out the exact problem you’re facing, and it feels like the OS is fighting you every step of the way.

So what I’m saying is this: If you have very low knowledge about computers, windows kind-of works, but many things feel out of your control and you learn to hate your computer rather than like it (why does it want me to create an account, why does it update without me telling it to, why is all this crap preinstalled etc.). And even if you were to learn more about the inner workings of windows, it’s way less accessible due to its closed source and you still don’t get the same customizability that Linux would give you.

I was so shocked when I learned that in the same country that gives guns to children because muH FrEedOmS, you cannot let your lawn grow out on your own property because some Karen down the road doesn’t like the way it looks.

This thing sounds like it would eat more power within a month than its hardware is worth. This is fine for a proof of concept, but not much more.

Well, anything is easy if you stay within the boundaries of the OS as it is shipped. For arch, that means no desktop environment at all, just the TTY – which is super easy to use if that happens to be exactly your use case. IMO a reasonable test is not whether is it easy to use if you stay within the boundaries (as that is true for everything), but whether those boundaries are reasonable.

I completely agree that ripping out system components does not have to be easy. But not wanting Cortana, OneDrive, Edge or other microsoft programs to be preinstalled, hard to remove, and constantly nagging you to use them over other programs is not an unreasonable request. Last time I installed Windows for a friend, you needed a workaround to be able to use the computer without a user account tied to some microsoft account. And that triggered the same response in me as in the meme – this is not some cloud service where I make an account and they provide the hardware. I want to use the computer that is sitting in front of me, in my house. Why should I need a microsoft account for that?
