You are blessed with a country with a functioning education system. It seems some countries only educate to the level of “Welcome to McDonald’s. Can I take your order?”

Keka is FOSS, supports 7z for both compression and decompression, and is native to macOS.

Why vinegar?

I prefer the extreme sports variant from Gloucestershire, England.

I’ve heard rumblings it’s actually to test out the upcoming move from Gamebryo/Creation to Unreal.

Easier to task a smaller team to take the current state of the UE5 framework for TES games and recreate an existing game (i.e. concept and content complete) and get feedback early so TES6 can learn from it while they are still in development.

They thought it was because the leather was from a pig…

Chess is mostly a memorisation game for gambits / openers and subsequent sets of follow-on moves.

After that, it’s mentally simulating the board state a few moves ahead, varying pieces and guesstimating probability of what move the opponent will make. A lot of that you start to memorise, especially since other chess enthusiasts will often play well-known gambits / strategies.

Intelligence often correlates with memory but they’re not one and the same. I grew up knowing a competitive chess player and remember the time they referred to their “hambag” (handbag). English was their mother tongue…

What’s crazy is that while I used to know countless Maya / 3DSMax people, everyone seems to have switched to Blender. It’s crazy how fast the industry switched to Blender after that UI revamp.

It’s been in Apple devices since iOS 18 and it’s a good thing Android is adding it.

To give people perspective, if you put the seats down in the back of the V70, you can sleep two lying down in the back, no problem.

That Ram is obscenely huge.

We need a /c/MuseumOfLemmy to preserve this treasure in so that it may be cherished and studied by our children and our children’s children and many generations beyond.

Same thing

Mercurial is written in Python, Git in C.

Given the number of git instances, had it been implemented in Python, more CPU cycles / electricity would have been used.

Blah blah Mercurial is responsible for global warming. (I’m being sarcastic by the way - I love Mercurial).

Repeating old Reddit memes seems to be a bit of a faux pas around here.

CANZUK when?

This is common in museums. Student/professor wants to study object away from the crowds of tourists.

What’s hmmm about this?

I love the indentations and line breaks of the original when first published:

Do not stand
          By my grave, and weep.
     I am not there,
          I do not sleep—
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with morning’s hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the day transcending night.
     Do not stand
          By my grave, and cry—
     I am not there,
          I did not die.

— Clare Harner, The Gypsy, December 1934
