I live in the second one. On purpose. I’ll never wear my debian tshirt.

Is this seriously your takeaway from a well-thought out post? This the smugness of reddit that I really don’t miss.

edit: I am refering to the root comment, as that isn’t clear.

You’re correct in a lot of languages; Excel comes to mind. Just that’s not how int rand() works in C.

Sorry, I don’t why you’re getting snark and even being accused of using the word “integer”.

But which consumes more energy? Like really. I’m betting AI does, but some tasks might be close.

It’s what percentage of countries have one that would matter.

Actually that’s a great place for some “I want to help but I don’t know computers” people to jump in.

I tried qcad around 2010 or so and found the UI horrible compared to autocad that I was used to. At this point in my life, drafting was pretty useless. So I had no reason to have cad unless it was free.

I found OpenScad in Y2020 and was amazed at how far it had come. It felt much more like the commercial stuff, at least to me, who was behind the times anyway.

I was disappointed not to see one. That’s not a ‘no’, but I did look for one.

Like they would open source Zed instead of locking it up in a museum and claiming their version is the best.

Ahhh… I see. When I said “end”, I was thinking permanently, irreparably. Not just pause.

I like your plan of giving Tuvix a long and fulfilling life while the rest of the crew does fuck all lost in the delta quadrant.

Are you claiming it is in fact equivalent to the standard “trolley problem”? (I don’t think you are, but if you are, I’ll add)

If the point is even “arguable”, I claim that is enough to distinguish it from the trolley problem, because that argument doesn’t come up there.

That was my point. I agree that the consciousness that emerged is distinct from Tuvok (or of course Neelix, but I felt like an ass last time I used the “say Tuvok” construction).

He did call it the highlight of his day.

This is fun. I’m listening to two Telsa owners bicker about the precise reason that I shouldn’t buy a Telsa.

I found it strange the claim started with the language “a Trolley Problem” and concluded with the language “the trolley problem”.

It seems one could make any choice into “a” trolley problem. But Tuvix problem is certainly not “the trolley problem”. This is about emergence of consciousness. In the trolley problem, the characters cease to exist. Neither choice here would end, say, Tuvok’s consciousness.

German Ks make so much damn sense. Why do I keep screwing them up?

In this case, it was that “cartographer” is a cognate.

Yo! It’s Run DMHolySee and A Tribe Called Quirinal!

Goddammit. Quit leaving the croutons off my salad. I want to see some floating blue specks in there.

I’ve been a linux user since 2006. But I’m not a computer guy, it was just my OS really. I haven’t done serious computer work it what feels like decades. Two days on Lemmy and I’m thinking selfhosting a smarthome could be for me. Things are so wonderful now.

PS: Auch mag ich Kühe. Sie sehen wie Landcarten aus.

Ok, that’s about the most complex sentence I can make. I wish I stuck with learning German.

Day 1: “What is this place?”

Day 3: “Do you have a moment to hear the wonders of Fdroid?”

Was an unextreme solution mentioned? I don’t see one. It seems very reasonable.

What would more extreme, but not inappropriate, is for Valve to send a cease and desist to stop Canonical from using the Steam logo on a package Valve does not maintain. I don’t think that’s warranted. But calling a little text clarification “extreme” is nonsense.

But Canonical using that logo is pretty misleading. I notice the thumbnail adds some Canonical-flare to the logo, but it’s not there on snapcraft.
