The Amiga had the ability to have multiple video screens that you could drag down and even display partially at the same time in different video modes, which was impressive. I don’t recall virtual desktops but I suppose Workbench had that, idk.
Anyway I was just referring to my experience with workspaces/multiple virtual desktops in KDE or whatever.
Kind of. Not sure what’s out there now but circa 2008 there were Linux distros with multiple virtual desktops each with their own virtual desktop. So you could have one with 3 virtual desktops of its own, another with 3 different virtual desktops of its own, and so forth. Good for true power users but it could get confusing fast.
The scenario here is that you have been transported back to a relatively primitive time. It’s unclear that you’d have the support of any sort of society or access to agricultural products or any sort of food source. So, it could be a survival scenario. You seem to be confusing modern “hunting for fun” with subsistence and avoiding starvation.
At some point on the chain of the creation of the renewable energy equipment, carbon releasing and polluting energy and mining was used to create it.
Hunting and self defense is not about being a dick.
As far as wanting to go down in history, not sure how that helps you after your demise.
That’s a good point. If it’s strong enough to start a fire, that’s serious power. The only issue is running out of battery power.
the firearm and bullets have distinct utility.
Still makes a big difference. China? Bottle rockets are just like ok, you have some bottle rockets. India? Spices are just okay, you have some spices. India might appreciate the keyboard more than Europeans, like “nice, a versatile harmonium!” vs “OMG Satan” like you might get in Europe. North America and you might be able to convince a tribe that you’re a shaman with Super Mushrooms using the LSD.
The motorcycle had better be a dirt bike or it’s not going to be of much use except maybe in China or where there were vestiges of Roman roads.
The spices and the laser pointer? You can just pretend to be a spice trader and when needed, blind people to escape.
The dab pen and magic keyboard were tempting, but De. Wesker made a good point ab out witchcraft.
Motorcycle might be cool because you can melt it down or disassemble it once you run out of fuel.
Another important question is Medieval times where?
In Lemmy Shitpost: yes
otherwise: no
California is full of … people.
It should be like one of those buttons you hit with a hammer at a fair. Higher up it goes, the more your vote counts!
“Right to work” as the name of an anti-labor policy sure has a dystopic newspeak feel.
Voting reform is absolutely the key… which is why neither entrenched party will do it, of course.
That’s the problem with this “both sides” take. Yes, there is no true leftist party in the US. They’re both corporatists. The Republicans are undeniably much worse, though. Anti-union, anti other labor rights, oppose every kind of social safety net, want to privatize (loot) and profit from public assets, are thoroughly in favor of racist classist policies of every type imaginable. Some democrats are too, but ALL republicans are like that.
Some dolt told me that in hospital billing one time. I had two different insurances that said they’d pay. They failed to charge me. They were giving me 30 days before sending it to collections. I have them the insurance numbers twice. I called on day 27 and asked what are you guys doing? The guy said “the computer is going to send it to collections in a few days… it won’t let me do anything!” as if that makes any sense.
What about Github Copilot? It has tons of material available for training. Of course, it’s not necessarily all bug-free or well written.
This is what I wondered about a few months ago when people were saying that ChatGPT was a ‘google killer’. So we just have ‘AI’ read websites and sum them up, vs. visiting websites? Why would anyone bother putting information on a website at that point?
I haven’t eaten at Taco Bell in at least 10 years and I don’t think they had Diablo Sauce then.
It’s good if you have sets of apps open for different tasks. I used to have one for programming (text editor/browser/console) and one for graphic editing (gimp/console/image viewer/blender), and one for general browsing/time wasting, all on two monitors. Pretty handy to keep your focus.
