Telescopes don’t allow you to hear sound from space though…

I wondered if they meant that you couldn’t help but imagine the sound when seeing it - I don’t know if there’s a word for that (or where to ask on Lemmy).

audibly blinking

Huh?

I think there’s a lot of people who would be happy with a Chromebook in computer form, and those are also the market for Linux.

sweet stop

I think you mean sweet spot. Now I’m wondering if it’s a typo or an eggcorn.

I see! Great work, along with plenty of others in your post history.

Is this unedited, or did you bring out that contrast in post?

This is an amazing shot. Do you have any more information, like the artist?

The phrasing of “First actual case of bug being found” definitely sounds like it’s a reference to an existing term. Nowadays maybe people would say “a literal bug lol”.

Edit: to be fair, OP doesn’t say that Hopper invented the term

Bad wording on my part, I wasn’t disagreeing. My file server has a /files directory because it saves me a few key strokes and because I can.

Is Gobo case-insensitive by default? Typing those seems annoying.

That’s an old image, though - Windows has a C:\Users\youruser setup like /home/youruser for a while now.

I find the %APPDATA% thing way less convenient than ~/.config and I’m quite happy when programs have the “bug” that they still use ~/.config on Windows.

I like that idea of using the different fonts for e.g. Copilot suggestions - reminds me of reading Asterix comics as a kid when they’d use gothic black for the Goth’s speech, etc.

edit: e.g.

There’s kroki as well, which includes Mermaid, Excalidraw, GraphViz, PlantUML, etc.

Looks to be riffing on this story: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4ngyely232o

It’s good to see the Beeb join the hallowed ranks of The Onion and The Daily Mash.

Well yeah, you need to do the computation somewhere and it’s not doing it on the server so…

It’s saying modern marshmallows are made with corn syrup, starch, sugar and gelatin but originally it was made with mallow plant.

Now I want to try the mallow version - has anyone here tried them?

Including English: æppel meant any kind of fruit, which is why you have names like pineapple and elephant apple.

Makes sense - the article says it’s just a regular piece of plastic, but it’s printed and clearly isn’t just a copy (unless you can photocopy onto plastic?)

Yeah, the article says

What transpired in the nearly 30 years since the story unfolded is bittersweet

and I was waiting for the sweet part. Turns out, apart from his mum’s good intentions, everything in the story’s pretty much on the bitter side.

Yup, I think a lot of people just use their web browser for everything, and they can definitely just switch. Outside of work, how many non-techies have set up their email to use a native program? Very few, in my experience.

I think documents are sometimes the exception, since there’s a sizable (perhaps older) group that like to use Word for everything.
