no, there is no difference. at least if ubuntu studio has hooked apt up to discover; it’s usually mainly used for flatpaks.

“using” water tends to mean that it needs to be processed to be usable again. you “use” water by drinking it, or showering, or boiling pasta too.

idk if that’s the intended takeaway from those numbers.

According to AllAboutAI analysis, global AI processing generates over 260,930 kilograms of CO₂ monthly from ChatGPT alone, equivalent to 260 transatlantic flights, with 1 billion daily queries consuming 300 MWh of electricity.

according to the faa there are on average 5500 planes in the air every day, and while i couldn’t find an exact number there seem to be between 350 and 1 200 transatlantic flights every day, depending on season.

260 tons is still massive, but let’s not kid ourselves. it’s about equivalent to producing 12 new american-size cars.

the roslagsbanan commuter rail is the only actively used 2 ft 11 ³⁄₃₂ in railway in the world.

…honestly, with a wikipedia article that extensive it hardly qualifies as “obscure”.

oh wow, how novel

yay nato… meanwhile everything else gets too little money to work properly

it’s a pretty interesting science experiment. it was the temperature of a mix of water, ice and ammonium chloride, which forms a eutectic mixture that stabilises itself at the temperature that fahrenheit chose as zero.

…he didn’t write down the amounts he used though.

yeah i also find him lovable, but the point is it’s the same sort of gag ttat tbbt does. and they’re all over the show. so why do we feel so differently about them?

being able to deny involvement is sorta the point of stochastic terror

the name is widespread enough to have a wikipedia article

go outside sometime

idk man. s3e2 (the “ludicrous display” ep) has an extended bit about moss being anal about staples. it’s still laughing at him. and there’s no foil for him there, the gag is just that he wants to know how many staples have been used.

the one scene that really got me to pause was when moss laughs at a circuit board. i’ve been that guy. i’ve laughed with colleagues about bad hardware design. but… the audience is not consisting solely of electronics engineers. they’re laughing at him. more exactly, they identify with jen in that scene, and joins her in thinking moss is weird.

i agree, but why?

but the problem isn’t “we can tell this photo is from a specific phone”, it’s “we can tell these two photos are from the same phone”.

oh hey an actual joke in programmer_humor, let’s check the comments

interestingly it crowd was apparently filmed with an audience.

followup question: what’s your thoughts on The IT Crowd? because i have a friend who insists they are the same show, and i disagree but can’t form a coherent argument as to why.

most artists dislike the entire idea of copyrighting a color for the singular purpose of limiting its use to one person. some people care more about copyrights than others.

i despise doing null checks as operators, because everyone does them differently. python’s a is not None is immediately obvious and you don’t have to think about chaining rules.
