Just like regular libraries have copyrighted books: they lend them to one person at a time.

While reading, I was thinking about the time it took me the last time I installed Linux, and I agreed with the author: it took me several hours.

Then I remembered why it took me so long: I wanted to install the most minimal Void Linux configuration possible with graphical session on a 16 years old laptop that was already too underpowered to run Windows XP when it got out, so I pondered every package installation (do I really need this to make it work? It’s 10 MB, that’s a bit heavy…) and had to tinker a bit with the drivers to get it to work just right.

Installing Fedora on my main laptop however took 15 minutes, from booting to having a functional system, 20 if you count the iso download and the copy on a USB stick.

You can reuse letters

That makes sense. I could see myself making a move that delays my victory for one turn just for the sake of annoying my opponent, but in the context of a comic that may be a bit overthought.

I thought it was a tic-tac-toe in 4x4, because then black wins whatever white does, which explains why white tablecroco-flips. I’m not familiar enough with the rules of Othello to exclude this game though.

Funnily enough, this equal symbol in the if statement wouldn’t be, in a lot of languages, a comparison symbol but an assignment symbol.

This means that every person would be considered Palestinian, even before determining if they’re Hamas. So even if you correct the else statement, everyone would still die.

Let’s say, hypothetically, that I’m not a Nintendo spy. Let’s also say that, still hypothetically, I would be interested in, or curious about, maybe, what would have been your first choice. Would you hypothetically tell it to me?

Not talking about pirating anything, btw. Just making hypotheses about a purely imaginary scenario.

Don’t know how it works there, but where I live, cops can suspect heavily that you’re drunk, but without a positive alcootest they can’t charge you. If you don’t want the alcootest, they send you to the hospital to have a blood analysis. It would have been the best scenario for this woman.

Sorry to disappoint, a dish washer is “un lave-vaisselle”, which is masculine. A car however is “une voiture”, maybe there’s a joke in there about how manly men love their car more than their gf.

Just an update because I just figured what happened: I booted the iso through Ventoy, and just saw today that by default Ventoy injects register entries to bypass the online account requirement (as well as the hardware checks). Good to know.

The word coming french has to do with it in this case. But to be fair, the french changed the spelling of “beefsteak” to “bifteck” to match the spelling with the pronunciation, so feel free to write “rondevoo”, I guess.

As a European: we got the latch.

Genuine W11 iso, downloaded directly from MS website a few weeks ago, no modification. It was a Pro version if I remember correctly. I tested it on a 2015 Surface Pro. I was already connected to the network and did not click “Domain join” (I would have if it had asked for a MS account).

According to the timestamps, you were 3 hours too late, sorry dude… https://startrek.website/comment/6045561

It works with 2G, sure, but I’m not sure how it would work on dumb phones: how messages would be decrypted or encrypted on a dumb phone, without that app?

Just this week I installed W11 on a laptop (temporarily, I just wanted to see how it ran on this hardware), and despite being connected to the it asked me, by default, for a username for the local account. I don’t know why, but it didn’t ask for a MS account first.

Also people made a lot of donations in hope of staying bought their way out of hell.

Indulgences were literally sold, those weren’t considered donations.

I’m not a medic at all, but would guess that since alcohol tends to liquefy blood, it could explain why you bruise when you’ve been drinking. It’s also the reason why it’s better to not drink alcohol the day before getting a tattoo, as you’ll bleed more.

Now, with the inverse reasoning, maybe you don’t bruise because your blood is “too thick”, whatever that could mean? Maybe ask a physician ?

The only use I have for Google Assistant is to call people when I’m in my car, and even then it doesn’t work correctly.

• “Call <wife’s first name>” -> Calls a business in a neighbouring country which happens to have the same (common) name as my wife.
• “Call <wife’s first and last name>” -> Calls my wife.
• “Call <father’s first and last name>” -> Calls another business in the same neighbouring country which name contains my father’s first and last name.
• “Call <father’s first name>” -> Calls my father.

Wtf really. Those two businesses must keep wondering who’s that number that keeps calling them at absurd times from another country and never leaves a message, because I can never remember who I must use the full name of…
