    That outline is like the entire continental shelf, or all the area where the glaciers are directly over rock (as opposed to having ocean in between), or something like that.

    But if the ice weren’t there, not all of it would actually be above sea level:

    Might actually be smaller than Australia if the ice were gone, give or take things like sea level rise and isostatic rebound.


  • Considering that they surprised us with it rather than including it in the public experimental branch, I think there’s a reasonable chance they’ll be updating it once they get some player feedback. It definitely feels like a stub that’ll get expanded in the future.

    Also, even if each lever or adapter can only transmit one bit of data, with enough of them you could encode whatever you want…











  • I would flip the whole chart diagonally so it lines up better with the political compass. I’d equate “corporate” with “right” instead of “authoritarian,” and “niche” with “libertarian” instead of “left.” Also, I would replace “independent” with “community/nonprofit.”





  • I somewhat hope that he did that as a demonstration of, hey, someone may do this because it’s hard for me to wrap my head around someone who uses a computer for a living, doing something like that.

    Nope, he genuinely didn’t bother to understand the warning before typing it. He may use computers for a living, but that just means he has a lot of very ingrained Windows bad habits to un-learn.

    It was some pretty big Internet drama when it happened and he’s still trying to defend himself from the near-universal lambasting he got for it. Although I included the link just in case, I’m kinda surprised you (being a person tech-savvy enough to be posting on Lemmy) didn’t already hear of it.

    He’s actually making a second attempt to switch to Linux right now (four years later), initially picked Pop!_OS again, and had some more problems with it. 🤦 He has a second channel where he posts clips from his podcast, and he keeps whining about how the other people doing it with him are having little to no trouble and he’s just cursed, LOL.
