More Bs means it’s softer, so more graphite will get onto your paper when you draw a line, which makes it darker.
More Hs means it’s harder, so less graphite. The advantage is that it doesn’t get used up as quickly and you can draw finer lines, although the latter is kind of a given either way, since you’re using a mechanical pencil.
It might genuinely taste different to you, and not just be a matter of preferences. There’s gene variations that alter the taste: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-50387126
Personally, I also found that it’s something you have to get used to. I used to barely eat greens and wouldn’t feel terribly great, if I did.
Then, earlier this year, I spent a month eating lots of greens. I’m guessing my gut microbiome adjusted, because yeah, now I can eat a whole salad bowl for a meal and if I don’t have greens at home for a few days, I will start to feel unwell.
By “unit”, you probably mean a SystemD unit, right?
I almost expected someone to learn that just from me posting. 😅
Basically, OpenOffice used to be organized by Sun Microsystems. Then Sun got bought by Oracle back in 2010.
Oracle does not have a good reputation at all, so the OpenOffice devs from back then figured they’d need to take things into their own hands and set up The Document Foundation to organize further development. But the OpenOffice trademark was owned by Sun/Oracle, so they had to rename and get a new homepage and everything. The name they chose is LibreOffice: https://www.libreoffice.org/
After the OpenOffice project was effectively dead, Oracle handed it and its trademark over to the Apache Foundation, where it’s seeing occasional bug fixes. But to my knowledge, they don’t even have the capacity to fix all the security problems.
All the actual feature development happens over on the LibreOffice side.
So, in practice, if you want OpenOffice, what you really want is LibreOffice.
I enjoy how the sign on the left says to not carry weapons and to follow traffic laws in all languages, except in German, where it just says that you’re entering the American sector.
Yeah, not great. You always hope that projects under a larger foundation, like GNOME, have a higher bus factor¹, but unless that foundation has dispensible income to pay someone, you’re ultimately still reliant on volunteers and not many people volunteer for maintenance.
What the foundation can do, though, which is also really important, is to hand over the keys to a new maintainer, should you disappear over night.
Like, yeah, forking is great, but some people will never learn of the fork. It happens about once a year that I find someone online who’s still using OpenOffice and that project has been practically dead since 2011.
So, I do hope we can get more open-source projects under some sort of umbrella. No idea how to actually do that, though. I also have open-source projects where I would not even know where to start to get them under some organization…
I mean, Firefox Reader View is probably the closest you will get…
Yeah, I also use the Lemmy webpage on my phone. In particular, I want to be able to come back to posts later, when more of a discussion has unfolded, which is where browser tabs work really well.
The Rust compiler is more sophisticated than most compilers, so it can be slower at the same kind of tasks. But it also just does a different task here.
One of the tradeoffs in Rust’s design is that libraries get compiled specifically for a concrete application. So, whereas in most programming languages, you just download pre-compiled libraries, in Rust, you actually download their source code and compile all of it on your machine.
This isn’t relevant, if you get a pre-built binary. And it’s not particularly relevant during development either, because you get incremental compilation. But yeah, if someone wants to compile a Rust codebase from scratch, then they have to sit through a long build.
Yeah, the good tooling also means it isn’t even terribly difficult for the dev to provide builds, but it isn’t quite as automated as publishing to crates.io, so many don’t bother with automating or manually uploading…
LibreOffice Draw works decently well for this.
Hmm, well no, but don’t you still risk being banned or at least being hidden away by the Algorithm™, if such scandalous thing as a nipple is to be seen?
I’m not sure now, if she actually said this is why she’s on PeerTube. Could also be that other social media platforms pissed her off and then she found a new home on the fediverse.
…just remembered, she recently posted a video, where she’s unboxing a Mastodon plush and figured, maybe she says something there, and yeah: Apparently, she got banned from Instagram a whole bunch of times, so now she’s self-hosting Masto and then evidentally also PeerTube.
Yeah, Lety does some NSFW-adjacent videos, which YouTube is too stuck up for.
Most of the stuff posted to video.thepolarbear.co.uk is.
The guy who hosts the PeerTube instance, Hamish, is hardline anti-big-tech, I believe. Whereas Chris Were and Drew / uoou are mostly just tired of YouTube commenters. Well, and there’s some other folks, who occasionally post there, where I don’t know, whether they post to YouTube, too.
Oh man, I think it’s been taken offline, but there was a video podcast thingamabob on PeerTube, where two dudes would wax philosophically about politics, which they called “Dagoth Hour”. 🙃
(The main baddy in Morrowind is called “Dagoth Ur” and he likes to wax philosophically.)
Usually, the desktop environment devs come together and standardize on something. But yeah, someone has to drive that effort. Open-source isn’t really something you plan, you just need someone to push for it.
I have a big collection of Creative Commons songs. And I wrote a little web music player to stream from my home-server, which I use for listening when I’m working from home, since I didn’t want to install a music player on my work laptop…
For Germany, there’s also https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/index.html which lists the laws in their current version, similar to dejure, but well, the webpage is actually hosted by our government. It’s as official as you’re gonna get on the internet.
The problem is that it sounds like a riddle. In a riddle, you’re traditionally supposed to work within the rules that you’ve been told. So, not thinking outside the box here is not an indication that the person isn’t capable of doing so.
Of course, if I encountered this problem in real life, I’d ask Carol from accounting to check the other room, while I flip the switches. But my instinctive answer was that it is not possible, because I assumed it to be a riddle and the provided rules did not allow a solution.
