Not the very first lines, but Terry Pratchetts “The Colour of Magic” intro is a lore about the world and universe, and ends with this absolute gem:
There was, for example, the theory that A’Tuin had come from nowhere and would continue at a uniform crawl, or steady gait, into nowhere, for all time. This theory was popular among academics. An alternative, favoured by those of a religious persuasion, was that A’Tuin was crawling from the Birthplace to the Time of Mating, as were all the stars in the sky which were, obviously, also carried by giant turtles. When they arrived they would briefly and passionately mate, for the first and only time, and from that fiery union new turtles would be born to carry a new pattern of worlds. This was known as the Big Bang hypothesis
That won’t stop Republicans from blaming Democrats for it if it’s unpopular with their base. Afterall, there were democrats present for the vote
Even if my wife and I get our meal fully comped because the kitchen messed up or it took a long time (has happened a few times, college town. We never complain or get upset, the managers just come over and apologize then comp it), we qt least tip as if it wasn’t comped, if we liked our server and/or the food a lot (both, most of the time) then we tip the full amount of the comped meal. Without fail the servers have been surprised that we tip at all when that happens
Free: closed source, Dev can make it non-free any time they want, add monetization, ads, collect and sell data, change licensing, etc at any time and you just have to deal with it or switch software
Foss/open source: if the Dev tries to monetize, add ads, go private, collect/sell data, people will just fork a non shitty version and maintain that
I think Plex is better for newbies, less setup and most will want to watch outside of their network easily with little setup. That said, Plex is getting a bit enshittified so I’ve been eyeing the switch to jellyfin just in case (I’m not a newbie, k simply was when I started using Plex and don’t want to deal with the change if I don’t have to)
The religious marriage to rule them all: doom Emacs (or other packages that do similar things). All the excellent text editing of vi/vi/vi/vim, the ecosystem and all the features of emacs.
For anyone who hasn’t heard of doom Emacs, it’s emacs with a lot of customizations baked into it, one of the biggest selling points is that everything uses vim keybinds now (where it makes sense). You get the amazing ecosystem of emacs with the ease of movement and editing of vim, plus a lot of other QOL features. It’s also just vanilla emacs with pre-made (and easy to edit) config files and helper functions so you can move over existing stuff if you want, and you don’t have to worry since all the emacs packages will still work, since it’s still emacs
So far I really haven’t had musicbrainz be missing any artists or songs, idk if its different if you listen to indie or niche music though
You should check out last.fm (or musicbrainz, which I prefer since its open source). You connect your apps to it (Plex, tidal, Spotify, etc), they send over songs as you listen to them, you can rank them as love or hate (and some other stuff) and they curate playlists and artists that they think you’ll like based on your listening habits
Same here, idc about some of my containers going through VPN (tandoor, gitea, Plex, etc) but my whole arr suite, qbittorrent, and sabnzbd are routed through a gluetun container that uses my protonvpn credentials. Never have to worry about turning my VPN off for gaming or something since the… totally legal research papager aquirerer apps… are all routes through the VPN which changes it’s connection every 4 hours (changes my public IP but also just to make sure none of the containers run into any issues that they can’t figure out without a restart)
It seems like a phishing email, idk if the sender is the correct one or not since it was cropped but the Twitter logo is on it despite that being phased out. My bet is that the reset password is a bogus page that has you enter your current password to reset it, that or someone at Twitter missed updating a logo in just this email template
Fresh eggs at room temp will stay good for 2 - 4 weeks at room temperature, 3-6 months refrigerated. If you need to refrigerate fresh eggs, you have too many chickens
Oh I definitely agree - and highly recommend checking out doom emacs to solve that. It’s emacs configured to use vim keybinds instead (and other QOL features). It adds a bit less than 200 add-ons by default, but they’re only loaded as needed so startup time is still <1 second
Doom emacs is superior
Sounds like a radio station where there community submits songs
Can’t unionize if you never go home or get breaks
It’s a flat $15 for the state filing regardless of state or income, it’s the main way they make money to be able to run (their optional support options are the other way they make money). I prefer the transparency of $0 federal $15 state to some ambiguous amount between $169 and $359 federal and $39-$64 state for TurboTax
It’s not can’t, it’s won’t. Tax companies like TurboTax pay a lot of money for lobbying to keep the IRS from making it free and simple
Yep, their free servers are great for trying out the service and web browsing if you don’t it being slow, but none of the free servers are p2p enabled. Only paid servers have p2p
I don’t think they meant it was inferior, just that chatgpt is only mostly functioning
