Network Time Protocol? Cool, didn’t know that!

Wow, that’s really impressive! And they’re not being paid by Apple either…

I thought there would be lots of Linux distros designed for SoCs since they’re somewhat common for laptops.

Huh, I thought it was ARM enough to work with existing other distros, but I guess not. I learned something new today, thanks!

Congrats. May I ask why you choose to go Fedora rather than another Debian derivative?

That’s really interesting! I guess I’ll incorporate this into my worldview now.

People can be good people without being a good fit for particular individuals. It sounds like this person is not a good fit for you, regardless of whether they’re a good person or not.

I’m using GymRoutines. It’s for gym routines only, not weight loss or nutrition. It’s perfect for my needs.

Beautiful!

“Shitty-er” to rhyme with “prettier”, I would guess.

It really sucks for the kids. I bet the parents who made those choices for them aren’t going to get sick.

No account needed if you’ve got uBlock Origin. I’ve been using that and the experience is a smooth as pirating.

My only complaint is that the caption setting does not persist between episodes, but honestly, when I was pirating it, the captions weren’t working at all, so this is still an upgrade.

Oh no!!! Took a second read.

Weather

OpenWeather: shows weekly overview by default; if you select one day it shows you a nice graph of precipitation and temperature for that day. Good for figuring out the forecast at a glance.

Weawow: the Hourly Details view is amazing for scrolling through the next few days hour by hour and seeing precipitation amount, precipitation probability, temperature, and so on all at the same time. I love the detail it provides. Also, I believe the beautiful pictures in the app are community-donated.

Store apps

Neo Store: Doesn’t allow auto-updating, but I like its layout significantly better than F-Droid.

Social media

Voyager for Lemmy: neat compact layout allowing you to see many more posts at a glance than any other app I’ve tried (Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder). Also lots of nice features like marking newly created accounts with a baby emoji, ability to share comments as nicely formatted screenshots (I didn’t think I’d use this feature but it’s honestly so convenient!), and ability to customize swipe behavior.

I think there are good free online courses, like Harvard’s CS 50 course. I’ve also heard of OpenCourseWare. I haven’t used either of them personally, though.

[W]ould anyone have spent this much time and effort writing about how much they hated Unix if they didn’t secretly love it? I’ll leave that to the readers to judge, but in the end, it really doesn’t matter: If this book doesn’t kill Unix, nothing will.

I like the foreword so far.

It wouldn’t be pulling up the ladder behind them if we force them to step down that ladder and burn it by retraining their models from scratch “with databases that don’t infringe on intellectual property rights”.

I’m so glad it didn’t come off as passive-aggressive or rude. Thank you for this message. I hope you have a truly wonderful day, my friend.

Grammatically, no, because “or” is a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so), and coordinating conjunctions are a way to join two independent clauses, like a semicolon. They are used after an independent clause and a comma, and they are followed by another coordinating conjunction.

Here’s two independent clauses: I got scratched by a cat. I’m sad.

Here’s a way to join them with a semicolon: I got scratched by a cat; I’m sad. The semicolon replaces the period.

Here’s a way to join them with a coordinating conjunction: I got scratched by a cat, so I’m sad. The , so replaces the semicolon/period.

Note that I got scratched by a cat so, I’m sad is incorrect, because to join two independent clauses, you’re supposed to put the comma first and then the conjunction, in that order. Colloquially, people will often omit the comma entirely, to reflect pronunciation I guess. But as far as I can tell, people don’t generally pronounce a pause between the coordinating conjunction and the following independent clause, so they don’t put a comma there either.
