  • During the morning, I mean. When the morning comes earlier, in theory the farmer that started at sunrise can get everything done at an earlier hour and be able to, like, go to the bank or whatever. Like I said, it’s dumb, but slightly less dumb than "farmers get to work earlier.

    That said, though, I don’t see how we could have “thinner” time zones. If you divide a 360-degree sphere into 24 equal arcs, you’re kind of stuck with 15-degree time zones, give or take. I guess we could redefine an hour to be 40 minutes, and thus have 36 ten-degree time zones, but that seems like a lot of work. And time zones that aren’t an hour apart are madness.

    Yeah, public transit would fix this pretty nicely. That plus a shorter workday, and a commensurate shorter school day.







  • The point of it is being able to play online with friends running the official version of the game on mobile or consoles. That means you need Bedrock Edition. If you don’t care about multiplayer or your friends all play on computer, then you should probably use Java Edition, which is natively available on Linux anyway.

    Also, Pi Edition is thirteen years old and was massively hobbled from the main production version back when it was new, so if you want a free Minecraft experience, you’re better off using Luanti.




  • “So where are you going on vacation?”

    “America.”

    “Again?”

    “Oh, no, not that America. I’m going to America.”

    “Wait…the one next to America, or the one inside America?”

    “The one just outside Super America.”

    “Wow, nice. How are you getting there?”

    “I have a flight out of America on Americaday and then I’m going through America by way of America to America, where I’m America-ing a rental America to America.”

    “America America America America?”

    “America America, America America. America America America America America America America America America America America America America America. America America America America America, America America…America America America America America America.”

    “America. America America!”

    “America!”





  • I work in edtech, and the current landscape is something like 55% ChromeOS, 25% iPad, 15% Windows, 5% Mac. I might have the exact percentages wrong, but I’m pretty sure about the order. The old Mac advantage from the gifted computers is basically gone, and though a lot of primary schools do give students iPads, Windows isn’t really gone gone; a lot of edtech apps are either web-based or built for Windows. You’re right about Google undercutting the market with ChromeOS, though.



  • Well if you didn’t intend to actually substantiate any of your arguments, I don’t know exactly what you expected. “Oh sure bro, your feels-based generational warfare screed totally convinced me that the original article was totally wrong!” Come on man. You know how the internet works. Come with receipts or prepare to be roasted.

    I mean, even if you do come with receipts, prepare to be roasted. But at least in that case you’d have the moral high ground.



  • Come on… They’re still buying sweet treats and treat yo selfing the machine into continued suffering.

    Literally the Matt Bors comic.

    They’re habitually being fed capitalism disguised as socialism through online influencers and social media.

    This is their fault?

    They are literally unable to identify truth from propaganda. They’re very boomer-like in that way.

    Everyone has trouble identifying truth from propaganda. That’s the point of propaganda, and it’s especially effective against people in their twenties.

    All you gen Z folks go ahead and down vote me, but I’m right.

    I’m an elder millennial. And I know that downvotes don’t mean you’re right.

    Edit: I’m wrong, everyone. Gen Z will save us all!

    Being butthurt is a great way to prove that you have a thick skin and aren’t insecure about your dumb opinion.
