We’ve got some strong Star Trek nonsense brewing in !tenforward@lemmy.world

I don’t care if it catches on, I’m enjoying it here where the people are still awesome.

Yeah, I watch Alone and I’ve seen Outlast. No way are 99% of people going to be able to live like that. Even the contestants who prep and practice and research only last a few weeks in the winter.

You would need a small community, agriculture and to store your food for winter, and livestock for reliable protein. Even then there’s a good chance you get wiped out by diseases unless you’re making soap and prepping food and water safely.

Gas only lasts like 6 months before expiring. It can be stabilized to last a couple of years, but within 3-5 years all existing gas would be unusable (as far as I understand it).

Running a solar system past its ideal life when it holds even 20% of a charge and has lower efficiency is better than nothing.

I’ll probably be one of them.

That would be only one of the many competing reasons for my murder.

I do have camping gear, woodworking hand tools, a good bike, I know how to shoot and clean fish+game and cook, and I have knowledge of some remote areas with sparse populations including their flora.

On paper it all sounds good, but I would likely die miserably in the first Canadian winter.

You know what would be useful in a societal collapse? Electric vehicles and solar panels.

Hopefully peppers aren’t building zombie busses because they’ll be useless in 6 months after the oil stops flowing.

An ev with a charger panel and bicycles will be useful indefinitely.

Surely that can’t be uniform random though

But they’re just using it for a seed, so the output would be impossible to predict, but it feels like a checksum or something would approach a Gaussian distribution (the more numbers you add up, the more Gaussian it would be, since we know an image will have a mean and finite variance).

And your family posted, and your friends posted.

Well that’s fun

I’m not Australian, and I don’t post on Facebook.

But my family posts on Facebook, including pictures of me. I hate that I didn’t consent to any of this, yet they’ve fed my face into their AI tools.

macOS installs a recovery partition and hides it from you so you can always restore it.

I think the firmware boots you into a macOS mode so you can always recover your macOS system, but when you finished installation Linux may have nuked it.

I’m not an expert though, I’ve just been using Mac’s for 15+ years and have had to reformat several over the years.

I’ve never installed Linux as the primary OS before.

The second most important thing about vim to learn is:

If nothing is behaving then you probably have caps lock on.

You can always alias > to < in your shell.

I simply have too much vim config and muscle memory to ever leave vim

I’m trapped in a prison of my own making!

Same here.

The biggest diss I have on emacs users, as a vim user, is that emacs is the only text editor where people routinely need to keep a book about it on their desk!

I used to work with a bunch of emacs guys and they all had an emacs book or two on their desk or as a monitor stand. They usually also had one on awk and/or Perl to go with it.

I’m sure they’d probably make fun of me for being unable to edit a file with anything but my specific vim config, which is not compatible with any other human’s vim config.

(I would never seriously judge someone on their editor, but I will bust an emacs users chops and accept a good natured jab back)

I don’t have much to say about nano, except the hotkey bindings are weird and unnatural.

They make sense, but they feel wrong.

Yes, but younger

She looks like a sexy Robert Picardo

Yeah I should have added the cut proof gloves and thumb protectors
