people who make final jeopardy wagers ending in 99 vs people who make final jeopardy wagers ending in 01 люди, которые в финальном раунде своей игры ставят сумму с 99 в конце против людей, которые в финальном раунде своей игры ставят сумму с 01 в конце my goal on the fediverse is to increase engagement so that by the end of 2024 at least 20 other users will want to marry me personal opinion: text or code that tries to keep to 72 or 80 columns on screen is good, because that lets you more easily subdivide the screen into individual panes for different files without any of them getting cut off or force-wrapped i like the idea of zonal conlangs, like interlingua (based on romance languages), interslavic (based on slavic languages) or tonuao (based on sinitic languages with influences from korean, japanese and vietnamese) i have no idea how the developers of #lagrange made such a good-looking gemini browser given they are using SDL instead of GTK or Qt or any other library actually suited for making GUI apps @rnd because even parsing Google gives more relevant results Also: searx can *combine* results from multiple engines at the same time. Including YaCy :p was thinking about stuff and remembered of some article that said the real mark of who's a "regular computer user" or a "nerd" (probably not in these terms though) is whether they use a plain-text editor because plain text files are important for nerds (source code, configuration files, etc.), but regular folks don't encounter these, and are much more likely to use a word processor rather than a text editor for any of their needs @rnd@toot.cat what does it say about me if I use micro for config files and coding learning attempts but libre office writer if I need to write, translate or edit a text? ooh, i just noticed: the version of #wine in #alpinelinux 3.18 is now built to support both 32- and 64-bit execs without needing 32-bit libraries! @rnd@toot.cat you can always ask me for an invite if you want ;) #calckey developers better prepare for the future ten years down the line when their server software is run on like 90% of instances and nobody can make any new fediverse software because implementing all of calckey's features becomes too difficult! "mono no aware", the japanese concept of nothing in life being permanent, not to be confused with "mono no aware", which is when your earphones are not plugged all the way in and you hear the same audio channel in both ears |
