It taught me to use home row touch typing. Before that I was fast enough at search and peck that I didn’t see the point of home row. But when you’re chit chatting in the heat of battle you don’t have time for that shit.

There’s no wrong answer. Go with whatever sounds most exciting. Though I’d suggest doing Gleba last for your first run as it can require more babysitting than the others.

Your personal roboport is entirely separate from the logistic network roboports’ construction bots.

When you have a personal roboport equipped, bots in your inventory will use your inventory to build in your personal range.

Construction bots inside roboports will build anything in the connected logistic network (roboports in each other’s green range) construction range (orange range… If I’m remembering colours right).

You can speed up personal construction by equipping more or better roboports, and logistic network construction by adding more bots/roboports for charging and closer materials. Research also makes a big difference. To some extent early game construction is just a bit slow.

What I like to do is have my mall store everything in passive provider or filtered storage chests so it’s all available for construction and personal logistics. Then I just accept that my early network is a bit slow, and do other things while waiting on them for large projects. Things I’m actively building my personal bots help with from my own inventory.

Edit: one thing to keep in mind is bots reserve ghosts when they start a build job, so if you have a large logistic network they can take a lot longer to fly over than something closer would have to finish it. For this reason some people prefer smaller, separate networks and constructing from personal or spidertron inventories.

I agree that we need to find a way to make this communal rather than individualistic, but government backing isn’t that. It would be nice if that happened and all, but with a thesis like that it feels like it’s missing the mark calling state-hosting "community ". How do we make self-hosted services something that can serve at the level of the community? Like a load balancing reverse proxy that points to the servers those in the community can host and everyone invites their friends and neighbours.

I landed on Mint because it’s a simple no fuss distro that feels familiar to Windows refugees. I game on it just fine and use my computer for a lot of things so wanted something general. I bounced off Ubuntu because it has some decisions that are trying to protect you from actually learning Linux, which is a priority to me.

As a professional spreadsheet pusher, I can confidently say that LibreOffice (the Linux version of MS Office) has been able to do everything I needed that word/excel can, and then some.

But really any distro will be able to install the software you need, and it’s easy to switch. Just try it and have fun.

Basically it tastes nice, then you develop a dependency on it.

The gender unicorn is a similar model that leaves room for gender identities entirely outside of the binary (albeit still simplistically)

That’s definitely one of the problems with this graphic. Those are a part of “gender roles”, stereotypical expectations of masculinity/femininity. Your impulse to consider them independent is correct, but you may encounter bigots with old fashioned ideas about what’s appropriate for someone to get up to based on their gender.

Thanks!

The more concerning thing going on is Debian potentially embracing AI, which I am very much not a fan of.

Can you elaborate on this, or point me to where I can read about it? Getting away from AI was a part of the reason I ditched Windows :/

Trains. Even if it’s a short -ish distance it’s still usually worth it to set up the input station so it’s easier to add another field later. Plus, trains are fun. Choo choo.

… In all seriousness, looks like an interesting video!

I can’t bring myself to upvote this, but I salute your title 🫡 It is perhaps the most apt caption I have seen.

Humans do indeed contain multitudes, but I think this gives too much credit to the influence of corporate (and their political interference) interests. Enshittification is an active choice made in board rooms. Disinformation is an agenda. They’re not inevitable grassroots outgrowths.

Lemmy, curated to avoid AI, curtail corporate news, and where the admins and community are fighting bots and trolls is an example of the reclamation attempt.

And you know what? It’s kinda nice here.

Tldr: capitalist efficiency

There is a neat piece about the OS side; worth reading.

The prison industrial complex: hold my beer

There’s definitely problems with that option. But in the situation you described I’d just say fuck you and close the page rather than support that. People immediately leaving is probably worse than bad questions don’t get answers.

An abstain, maybe? Would also be useful for questions that you won’t know enough to answer. Then if you keep getting hung juries you know you’re asking bad questions.

How???
