Have you watched Primer?

But that is internally coherent from what I remember. I.e. time always works that way, changes in the past are propagated, and time travelers get the effects sometime after it.

The biggest one for me is in Butterfly effect, when he goes back in time and gives himself the scars, it goes against everything we learned about time travel in that movie. If he did that he would have had the scars all along, they would not have appeared out of thin air, also the timeline would have diverged there.

Which is why most people don’t even realize this is a requirement. Also lots of us come from a time before these fancy players, so we needed to sort things out this way in order to find what we wanted.

To me, having a library be just files thrown in a folder regardless of show/movie/etc seems very messy.

Oh yeah, because everyone will obviously remember what a guy mentioned off hand on a random episode 5 years ago.

I agree that a “previously on” for what happened the previous episode is bullshit, but that’s almost never the case.

I don’t see why it would be hard to accept that someone could make a carbon iron alloy using carbon and iron. But in any case in this link there are multiple sources, an archeology book and a scientific paper, of these claims https://bigthink.com/hard-science/norse-rituals/

Season 3 is out, just not all of it yet.

A curious fact about Vikings is that they had legendary weapons imbued with the spirit of great fallen warriors which were stronger than any other weapon at the time. They had a ritual in which they would burn the body of their fallen warriors in the fires of the smelter while making weapons to “imbue” their spirit into it, what happened was that the carbon from the body they were burning formed an alloy with the iron of the weapon, making a crude form of steel in a time we’re everyone had iron weapons.

I see lots of excellent responses, but one of my favorite games is never mentioned, so I’ll mention it here, it’s Out of Space it’s essentially overcooked but calmer.

This is not exactly true, alcohol can become vinegar if exposed to oxygen, and I doubt those bottles are properly hermetically sealed.

This thread made me look at this issue. Realistically it’s not a big issue, the VAST majority of the binary blobs are accounted for and have a script or a readme file that shows where they’re downloaded from.

That being said I will take a serious look at alternatives.

Switching the emphasis on one word can completely change the meaning of a phrase, there’s one example I love: “I never said she stole his money”

• I never said she stole his money (someone else did)
• I never said she stole his money (absolutely not true)
• I never said she stole his money (I wrote it down)
• I never said she stole his money (it was someone else)
• I never said she stole his money (she might have just borrowed it)
• I never said she stole his money (it was someone else’s)
• I never said she stole his money (she stole something else)

There’s nothing like it, nor will it ever be, for a couple of reasons.

Programming is a long running task

Distros like Kali are meant to be used for quick tasks where you don’t need data preservation (or when data preservation is a bad thing). Programming is the opposite of this, it’s only about data (the program) preservation. Programming something that will get erased on the next boot is pointless on the long run if you need to program that again, and if you don’t then what you’re doing is not programming but something else that requires some programming.

Programming is a wide term

There are multiple languages/IDEs/Workflows/etc, ranging from fully free and open source to paid closed source, whichever you will use depends entirely on you, having all of that pre installed would be 99% garbage since you will only care about 1 or 2 of them.

Programming requires setup

Even if you had whatever workflow you use pre installed, to work on something you would need to setup git keys, install dependencies, compile the first version, etc… and that’s all before you can start doing stuff. And you would have to do this again and again since distros like Kali are not meant to be installed (if they were they wouldn’t need to come with all those packages pre-installed because you could just install the ones you cared about)

We know you are a junkie Strung out in heaven’s high Hitting an all-time low

You don’t need to port the home directory, just have it stay on the other disk, that’s how I used to do my systems when I had small SSDs. But porting it should be straightforward, just copy it over and it should all work.

One thing I find very interesting about how brains process reality is that there’s a disease that makes your eyes have blind spots. However people with that disease don’t see those blind spots because the brain fills the gaps with the information it knows to be there. So you could see a door closed just as it was when you last looked at it directly, but in the meantime someone opened the door and you’re still seeing the door closed until you look at it directly.

What is a superuser in Lemmy? What can it do that’s so special? I don’t think I’ve ever encountered one.

Is it? Then what is the gender of the person you’re replying? Surely if it was important you would need to know it before replying. The fact that you can reply someone without knowing their gender is proof that it doesn’t matter here.

If gender didn’t mattered IRL, trans people would be seen in the same light of someone who likes wearing black, or is unhappy with the way their nose looks to the point of doing a surgery about it. Trans people suffer because society puts a lot of importance in gender, therefore wanting to dress clothes from a different gender, or having a body that looks a different gender are “radical” ideas that offend simple-minded people.

As much as I disagree with your last statement (I think Linux for client is on par with Windows for the vast majority of users), I strongly agree with everything else. This wasn’t a Windows problem, but a “your IT is cockblocking you” problem, it could have happened in Linux too if it wasn’t because he used a rogue device, he could have fixed it on Windows too doing the same.

Personally I would have gone straight to Linux because I’m out of the loop on how to do these sort of stuff on Windows. If it had to be Windows, let IT figure that out, their firewall, their anti-virus, their problem.

That’s a very bad decision as a manager, if I was another employee in that store I would take that to mean never control kids in the store, let the manager deal with that.

And if I was the friend I would have asked during that exchange with the manager present “So, I assume that means she’s paying for everything the kid broke before I asked him to stop, right?” Just to see the reactions.
