They moved from python?

I’m shocked I had to scroll this far for the first fluxbox/Enlightenment/windowmaker user

Kerbal Space program wasn’t on the list, and maybe OpenTTD? The latter is also great when you have a random setup (the game is 10Mb, runs in anything and has zero needs) and have only 20 minutes to play.

I use that to annoy the same friend and send a random hedgehog fact in a text message from a random number.

“Despite their land-dwelling reputation, hedgehogs are good swimmers:they can swim across streams and ponds if necessary. Subscribe for more hedgehog facts!”

Skype is great when your flight is delayed, and you have some remaining cash in it from 15 years ago

Does it make floppy sounds?

Here only those data are available for search that are older than 100 years in case of birth certificates and maybe 50 for deaths. So you would need to know at least your grandparents’ birth data to start…

It depends… Are we speaking about keeping only tall blonde kids? Or aborting a fetus with 95% Down syndrome? Angelman’s? Some other even worse? Stopping a possibility fatal pregnancy? Where do you put the line?

I checked it, it’s not :)

Lots of astronomical objects have names, but somehow it’s asteroids and maybe craters that really got the naming hype, there are hundreds of them named after scientists, poets, the discoverer’s teacher, you name it. It’s a nice custom.

Disclaimer: I might be slightly biased, as I proposed my wife with naming one of them (asteroid, I mean).

Not if you already don’t look at the keyboard while typing, plus you use multiple layouts

These are nice, but on the other hand there’s the case where you have a limited time slot somewhere and windows randomly decides that it’s time to update, pop up a window to upload your data to “the cloud”, reboot, and bang, you’re f*cked.

Where’s enlightenment and windowmaker?

You can have a computer with multiple users, one prefers gnome, the other kde. Say, they also want to access the computer through cnc, but these are too slow for that, and one prefers windowmaker, the other enlightenment. It works just fine. You can run all these four at the same time.

There’s also the study on super flares on solar like stars: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature11063 From this and follow-up papers it absolutely can happen on the Sun, just with a very low probability.

(I never thought this would ever come up on social media)

I was looking for this comment. It’s unfortunate that Julia basically dies in the shadows of python, in some sense it’s much more logical, out at least f ing print and division doesn’t change between versions

I use a Kindle, but never bought a single book from them. I mostly use their transfer method for convenience instead of looking for a cable. As for books, I downloaded a few gigs of ebooks in html/RTF/doc format well before e-ink was invented, and use those with calibre to convert to epub. Pdfs are rather suboptimal for ebooks.

Have you tried tiny macros with q and @? Syntax highlighting? Z-folds? Or turn vi into a hex editor with :%!xxd ?

If that doesn’t work, try :divorce

I miss my E17 and windowmaker, when I had the time to fiddle with config files…

Use justtherecipe.com - it will not only cut ads, but also the sob story about the writer’s grandmother and how they kept this thing a family secret for exactly 137 years until now.
