   I loved w2k, it was the last good windows imho and it’s around the time when I dropped windows for more open alternatives. AFAIK, win2000 didn’t do games very well. I think I remember it not supporting d3d or OpenGL, or something along thes

   I didn’t realize it was a term of art and thought it was a corporate-speak euphemism.

   I meant anomaly is a nice euphemism instead of climate change or crisis.

   “Climate anomalies” is a very mild sounding way of calling what’s happening globally. Well done.

   I always wondered what VA stood for in VAR given that you must buy from a VAR as the manufacturer/editor will not sell directly anyway.

    They kinda are though, it’s creating a monopoly. Never mind enriching the already richest psychopath on the planet.

    I have two Clara HD and they’re pretty good. They just work. I use Calibre with them. Inside is a micro SD card so if I ever need more storage I can just clone the original SD and extend the partition to upgrade the storage. The Kobo are so

    Very few non tech people realize that. I’d wager the overwhelming majority buy a kindle and then get 100% of their books off BezosBazaar.

    This makes no sense. Animals eat grain. We eat the animal. Animal has to eat 10x the calories in grain for 1x the calories to whoever eats the animal. VS 1x the calories in grain if you skip eating the animal in between.

    And westerners throw away an obscene amount of edible food on a daily basis. I don’t see how being more compassionate and opting out of participating in animal suffering will make people who don’t have enough to eat have more to eat.

    Most soy grown is to be fed to animals so we can kill them and eat them. If we ate the soy (and other grains) directly, we wouldn’t need to grow anywhere near as much and destroy as much land as we currently do (+ the land required to raise

    I’d say the difference is that we have the possibility to not eat them and still sustain ourselves well. Fishes don’t have canned beans and tofu factories, it’s either eat other fish or die, there is no choice. Unlike for humans, where eati

    I’m surprised too. But I suspect it’s more because it’s a very inconvenient truth: what about factory farms, the suffering we make billions of animals go through so we can eat them cheaply, and having to change our habits to accommodate thi

    For annotating and adding a hand drawn signature to PDFs, preview really is the best: lightweight, straightforward, free, comes with the OS. I don’t know any comparable app for Linux (or windows although I rarely use it)

    by ornornor 3y ago

    A web app makes it cross platform. If you have a homelab, deploy it only once for every client. And PDFtk doesn’t do annotations afaik which is a huge pain point on Linux (at least for me) because there are no applications that I know of to

    Thanks, I’ve been looking for something like that for quite some time. Even thought about making my own since none exist but it’s been years and I haven’t.

    So it’s really more like a physical rubber stamp of sorts that you can scale up or down but that will otherwise always look the same? I also know very little about this and the “brush” denomination really confuses me.

    Unless this kind of dysfunctional management style burns you out. The you’re dying a little every day at work and don’t have the energy or ability to look for other work. I’ve seen this happen so many times in my career it’s not even funny.

    Sometimes companies have poison pill provisions and similar that makes it veeeeery expensive to do a hostile takeover.
