Why: I case I want to show something unplanned to someone. Freak accident in a game, for example.
Disk: It’s only keeping the latest 30 minutes in a buffer. Saving basically means copying that buffer to a different file.

I mostly write utilities/tools like this. Some examples from my ~/bin/ folder:

• A script that turns caps lock off and numlock on, and remaps caps lock to compose. I have this run by cron every minute.
• A script that saves the current buffer of my continously running screen recorder to a file. Bound to the Lenovo coilot key.
• A half-finished script that downloads and installs the latest version of discord, as Discord and ants me to manually upgrade it every time I start it.

Edit: OH, and on my work laptop I have a script named Fnkeyfuckery. The keyboard layout is annoying in that I have to choose between Function keys or have Home+End.
I want my function keys AND I want home+end. Luckily I don’t need F11 and F12 very often, so I’swapped around those two with their alternate function. That way I have F1 through F10, Home and End by default, and if I hold Fn I can have F11 and F12 too. It runs on startup.

Too bad “Orbs” doesn’t rhyme.

I’d go even further and say red card for taking a dive. Pretending to be struck/hit by another player in an attempt to get an advantage = cheating. Cheaters shouldn’t be allowed to play.

It got a little better after they started with video ref’ing, but 90’s Italian football still left its disgusting mark on the sport.

None of the above, I think? I deal with boaty things. Computery stuff regarding survey boaty things, to be precise.

If I absolutely had to choose, I’d say internal support for a trade, although I think a trade would involve trade school.

Actually, on paper I’m considered office personnel, although my “office” is my bedroom, and 20% of the time I’m on the far side of the world.

A couple of times I’ve reoriented meetings and discussion by stating something akin to “We’re getting away from the core of the issue here, let’s take a few steps back to ensure we’re evaluating this with the same objective facts in mind”

I’ve found that this is pretty effective at aligning the conversation with the actual issue at hand. And by listing the relevant objective facts, I make sure that everyone in the room has the same foundation as I. If anyone wants to play office politics and/or have an agenda beyond what’s in front of us, it’s harder for them to maneuver around the objectivity I try to stick to. It also ensures that any misunderstandings about the underlying facts can be cleared up or otherwise addressed

In Norwegian, Grouse (Rype. Don’t bother trying, you’re definitely pronouncing it incorrectly) somehow became slang for an attractive woman. Not used that often anymore, though.

Caged owl (Burugle) is slang for an unattractive woman.

Maybe little syntax error wants a proper name and is acting out.

Good find, little one

Dream Theater - Metropolis.
Alternatively, Metropolis pt II - Scenes from a Memory, if you find an ambitious producer.

Always wear cool sunglasses.

Oh, you meant temperature wise? Silly me…

Clothes that leave plenty of breathing room, and avoid wearing clothes that are too dark.

As water is abundant where I live, I sometimes leave the tap running into a bucket in the sink and let any excess drain the normal way. That way I always have 10L of fresh mountain water as a heat sink. It’s not as effective as ice, but it does work.

“Illogical” is just the translator making a mild version of the actual phrase “How the fuck did you manage to stay out of special fucking ed with a dumbass statement like that??”

I think it’s a “glitch”. Our brains are wired towards pattern recognitions, and this often manifests itself in recognizing seemingly random shapes as faces because of a vague resemblance.

It is my belief that music is a similar trait where we recognize patterns in rhythm, sound, and motifs as something pleasant because we are built to recognize and categorize so many things to the point where a series of sounds can give a pleasant feeling once we’re able to “parse” it.

Source: None, really. Just me having given this a lot of thought in the past, as I’m very musically interested myself.

I don’t think we’ll be able to upload knowledge any time soon, as we’re a long way from properly mapping how the brain handles this.

But visual inputs for VR/AR is much closer, as there is already some functional implants for something similar: having cameras produce neural stimuli has been a thing for a few decades now, and it’s now at the stage where some blind people have been able to regain a limited form of vision despite not having functioning eyes. The tech is only going to get better, so at some point it can be used to augment normal vision.

Pakistan: No opinion really. I used to know a guy from there - a real hoopy frood.

Qatar: No opinion there either. My only connection to the country have been quite a few layovers in Doha.

People of Venice! The time has come to show the world what you’re made of, and more importantly, what you’ve got inside.

Let the canals bear witness to your courage. Not with arms, but with… offerings. I want to see a million floating turds on that sacred day. Let this wedding be remembered. Not for love, but for sheer intestinal audacity.

Take a stand, take a squat, and defecate for dignity.

Fate la storia. Fate galleggiare la gloria.

Due to DOGE cutbacks there hasn’t been an available crypt keeper for a while. Don’t worry, the ghoul in question will make an appearance once the next crypt keeper is available for leading him to the senate floor.

Seriously, I think Mitch is laying low. Too much toxic BS going on these days, even by his standards, and he has nothing to gain by getting in the middle of it. I think he just wants to ride out his term unless explicitly needed on the senate floor, since he’s not seeking reelection.

Do nothing: Preserve status quo.
Do something: Risk angering the clown car he helped start

I swear to the gods, this would’ve been the most likely outcome if the borg had assimilated my ISP. It’s not even a big one. I am definitely their only customer with my last name.

Checks roof shingles.

Nope, all my slate is where it is supposed to be. For a second there I was worried that I lived next door to some terminally online Lemmy dork. This town only needs one.
