English is an amazingly complex language. Sometimes when words seem to coincide, it’s just a coincidence (see what I did there!).

When speaking of evidence of a claim, proof is a noun, and is related to the verb prove. When allowing the microbial cultures in a dough to develop before baking, proof is a verb. The gerund is proofing, and what you have made is a proofing box.

Your proofing box is excellent and I am envious. On the other hand, now I really want a proving box. I imagine that I can put ideas in there, wait some time, and the see if they are proved or not!

I’m just so grateful that so many great scientists fled nazi germany. Also that those who stayed behind (this is controversial and not known for sure) hindered and delayed Germany’s nuclear weapons program.

I very like!

I’m gonna be that guy, even though I know it’s annoying: This is why you shouldn’t use ms products. ms is a company that prioritises their business model over making products that actually serve your needs. That is not the only choice we have, though they act like it is.

Are you flirting with me?

Kill the aliens.

Srsly tho, it’s not about the tech they have or the 1000x power. Any jamming can be circumvented, and humans would have a much greater motivation to adapt than the aliens would.

I believe there is an ongoing feud among Linux kernel maintainers regarding moving to Rust. I don’t know much about it myself, but perhaps that is why OP thought this belonged here.

I’m mostly with you about the negativity being unwelcome here, but I just have to point out: Richard Stallman is a boomer. Boomers literally created Linux from whole cloth.

Ageism is also negativity. Please try to avoid it.

I don’t see them there.

Best thing about Mastodon is no insidious algorithm forcing stuff on you to specifically make you angry.

Dates written in a numbers only format are not about matching the spoken language. You also would not say, “let’s meet on twelve eleven twenty twentyfour.”

ubuntu is a linux distro. nothing more, nothing less.

linux or ubuntu?

wtf?

Kinda makes “bye bye” seem a little weird, eh?

The saying is really about asking god to remove obstacles from your path and facilitate faster travel. A little like “goodbye” is a very shortened “may god be with you.”

Others have explained that it depends on when, but I want to add this: when a VP becomes pres. through succession, the speaker does not become VP automatically. The new pres. picks whoever they want. Ford chose the governor of NY, for example.

I always forget that Windows Server even exists, because the name is so stupid. “windows” should mean “gui interface to os.”

edit: fixed redundacy.

Ah hahahaha!!!

Windows! Some dumbass put Windows on a supercomputer!

an all-in-one app for running a Linux distro in a VM.

No, it won’t

let you run Linux apps on Android

It will let you run Linux apps in Linux

How is the slab held in place? Is it just it’s own weight?

Libreoffice is not my first choice for document preparation, but I use it only because I need to collaborate with people who use MS Office. I’ve had no problems that weren’t easy to fix.
