I meant around town and such, but yeah, wild yards are cool too. Easier to maintain flowers and clover and stuff.

You skipped kids 3 thru 14 there

All you can do is add to pollen I guess. Plant seeds of native plants that bees love. Indiscriminately in random places.

Maybe someone else has some better ideas.

Not every apartment in the building might be a rental unit. If it’s a single-family home, however…

Oh I meant in that Atom was sunsetted to make way for it mostly.

That you have to manually specify partitions in Windows?

You literally don’t have to create a single one, only point it at empty space or a partition you’re willing to have it delete for space. It handles the rest. Does it matter how many partitions it creates?

Did you install that Ubuntu on a legacy BIOS system or maybe one with an existing EFI partition? Because I can’t see how you could have a modern OS without at least two partitions.

Ra-ra-rasputin

I think it’s country dependent. Wealthier countries with low deposit have more thrown away.

I mean you still have a separate EFI partition under Linux. Personally I also have a separate /home partition which is heavily recommended in case you nuke your Linux either on purpose or accidentally. You may also want to create other partitions, like swap, though I just have a swapfile.

Is the an installer that only creates only one partition, no EFI system partition?

I thought the books were for your shelf tbh. You put one for each language you claim proficiency in.

It’s cool to have niche older books though. My friend has a programming manual in Estonian from either the very late soviet era or very early 90s that has both some dialect of BASIC and some niche dialect of Pascal that I hadn’t even heard of.

Yes but the question is whether it’s imagined newly by a human, or it comes from an algorithm that only works because it’s combining other people’s existing works.

Tablets and software made things easier for humans, AI just… Makes artists obsolete and if you do create something new, it’ll be ingested too.

I agree with you in the core principle that less work for more productivity is good, but I feel creative work is the one notable exception. We remember a bunch of paintings from centuries ago not because they’re beautiful to look at even, but because these particular artists have found interesting new ways to convey their view of the world or their feelings. AI generating a new version of a Van Gogh painting isn’t as impressive.

Ghibli movies, similarly, have a distinctive art style that reminds you of how these movies have been lovingly made by dedicated artists who poured their souls into it. Using AI to shit out random content with the same style is just blatant disrespect for everything they’ve done. You can use AI to clone paw patrol or something if you want. That’s a merch seller, not art.

That one IS a controversial opinion unfortunately.

Man, if only this was happening in a country with armed citizens, they could maybe do something about it.

I mean he also has a full time job, he made 45k in 7 years off his side hustle.

I do agree that it should be easier to afford a home. Also bottle deposits need to rise. They’ve been stagnant for over a decade where I live. It’s like a 2-in-1 city cleaning program and beer money program for bums.

Technically the successor is called VSCode and the original authors are working on Zed.

Zed for lightweight, Kate for regular text and the Jetbrains suite for when I want something that uses all of my RAM, but has a lot of niceties.

The only time I open up vscodium is when I want to conveniently edit files in a docker container that are part of the image rather than mapped from my filesystem

No, because my country was pretty much too small and poor to have brand-name sharpies, we just had felt pens with other names. Carioca I believe was the most prominent brand back then.

I mean it creates an EFI partition unless you have one, a recovery partition, and a… whatever the fuck an MSR partition is. It stands for Microsoft Reserved I believe, and should be 16 MB nowadays.

And then there’s the one partition that your OS goes on, the C:\ partition.

I actually also went before EVs were commonplace, I was more referring to the fact that you got the knowledge to instinctively make that connection (and probably nowadays they have exercises on the subject too).

Yeah, we were pretty similar, except we didn’t have “school school specialty curriculum” since I went to public school, and public schools are standardized in what they teach

I went as, I believe, the second or third year of an experimental new system under which schools offered different specialty tracks that were up to the schools themselves to design. We had like a science-focused track, an art focused one, and then one that was basically “cool shit we threw together” that included stuff like psychology and law (first all kinds of basic legal concepts, which in of itself was a really big course, and then a second course focusing mostly on Estonian contract law, as that is hugely important, as well as some looks into stuff like employment law, consumer protection law, etc. This probably was not too common in schools in our country either, we just had a really awesome principal that was a former lawyer and took it upon herself to teach all this.

As of the 2024/2025 school year, the system is abolished and now the student gets to pick more of the electives, instead of the school tracks. So more freedom of choice, which I reckon is a good thing. The mandatory basics are still really solid.
