A VM software I’ve used at work uses right Ctrl as the button to alert the host machine “Hey the user is addressing you now”.
Want to take a wild guess who set up a VM on an old intern’s laptop after they returned to school and didn’t notice there wasn’t a right Ctrl key anymore?
My mom visited me once and asked me why I didn’t set the time on the stove, since, you know, it’s a clock. “Mom, I have never once gone ‘oh man what time is it? I better check the stove.’ Especially after I had a smartphone on me all the time”
Depending on the situation there may be even older hardware/windows in use.
At my last job there was a windows 2000 computer still in use until like 2 years ago. None of the motherboard connections were still being made anymore. None of the drivers for the specialized devices existed for anything newer. The computer was air gapped and a replacement machine was commissioned, but it was still there doing its thing until the HDD failed.
We rescued an abandoned bunny, he is an absolutly cute, friendly, and happy little guy. But when he wants you to move he bites, and yea those chompers can hurt. We’ve been training him to not bite by withholding treats when he bites and hes been learning bites means no treat.
I mean bunnies have mean teeth (ask me how I know) and some strong back legs.
It takes less delta V to launch him out of the solar system. I vote we efficently launch him into space to test your hypothosis.
I don’t know why, one laptop I tried years ago to use linux on had issues with so many distros. Mint the touch pad didn’t work, debian the wifi, manjaro the screen was funky. But one worked pergectly fine, Parrot, another debian distro which was weird because debian and mint didn’t work. And all the isos were current builds
A poly sci class I took in college. Prof is talking about PACs and super PACs and how much money they can just dump into an election. That was it, I was calling myself a socialist within a few days.
My last phone before my first smart phone was basically a sidekick (it wasn’t actually a sidekick, but I don’t remember the actual name of it and the sidekick has a similar enough formfactor).
That thing’s texting keyboard was fucking rad. I could type so fucking fast on that. I really want a smart phone with that keyboard.
A lot of them are really good, holy shit.

Whoops, I was sitting down a few hours later and suddenly remembered it and edited my comment. My bad
I mean, spellings of words change all the time. Hell, when I was in school you’d lose points on papers for spelling “doughnut” as “donut”, but now that shorter version is concidered a correct spelling and is no longer tagged by spell check.
We as a society can literally will this spelling to be concidered correct through shear usage.
Yeah it’s a profoundly stupid take.
There’s the famous Whoopi Goldberg quote about how as a little kid she saw it with a black woman not beimg a maid and running around the house screaming about it in celebration
There’s the famous story about Nichelle Nichols wanting to quit to do plays until MLK jr told her that she needed to stay for black people everywhere to be represented as an equal member of the crew, and it was the only show he’d let his kids stay up late to watch.
From its inception it’s been “woke” by daring to put both a black woman and an asian man in roles where they were to be treated as equals and valued members of the group.
I’d like to add more examples, but it’s been so long since I’ve watched any star trek.
EDIT: I just remembered the not at all subtile jab at racism with the two guys that had half black half white faces.
Hi neighbors to the north!
Thanks for applying pressure. Jeep it up and I love you guys!
There’s nothing wrong with wanting our form(s) of neurodivergence to be named. It helps people, including ourselves, understand what it changes about us amd how other people chose to handle them.
Theres a boycott going on right now against disney. Cancel your hulu, disney+, and espn and cite kimmle as your reason for canceling. Let them know doing this will hurt their wallet.
Yup, just checked his wikipedia article. He dead.
I mean, look at the specs of a smart TV or smart fridge. The specs on them are shit and they run Linux.
Hell there are whole distros designed to run on minimal as fuck hardware.
