And be Peter Greene as Dorian Tyrell

Yes. Although our children are more squircle than square.

Wow. Yeah, that’s almost Space: 1999 levels of unphysical.

I had to read that 2-3 times before I could comprehend that the base was not on top of ice and falling through it.

Yeah…

If you want one that isn’t actually from that time, just feels like it, I’d say https://tildes.net/

I think predicting the end of money is extremely optimistic.

A few days ago I removed several webs (and spiders) that were too close to the front door outside, where people walk.

… But I left a big spider that was nicely out of the way with its web in the frame of a window.

I hope the trick-or-treaters appreciate what I did for the sake of the holiday.

They won’t be able to afford it.

I really didn’t want to let it win.

I also had that experience with emacs, which has a built in help system. I couldn’t find a topic on ‘exit’ or ‘quit’ and refused to just search online.

Took me half an hour.

Doesn’t work embedded in Eternity, I had to share it to an app like ImgurViewer or a browser via URLCheck

I think I used to be an Aztec Pyramid, but I’m becoming a Mosque, and rapidly heading toward the ruins.

Recently did the intro segment to a Weird Al polka

It kinda reads like you are saying ‘Someone should create this’ when you really mean ‘It is there if you look’.

Then go ahead and uncheck it.

That typo reverses the meaning by being one letter off.
(It had said “diy cooking paint”)

I’d say very slightly past that. Quantum computers do work right now, but it’s the same way the Wright brothers’ first plane worked: as proof of concept and research, but not better than existing tech for solving any problems.

And it’s not that they fail to meet expectations of the designers, as far as I know they do exactly what they are built to do as well as predicted with the tech we have. Just the press is expecting more.

Sure they are, but system apps are still installed in the immutable space initially, which is the important thing, that updates to it can’t go there.

I don’t know how desktop immutable systems deal with that.

Another prominent example is Android. Sure system apps can be upgraded individually – by storing the new version in a restricted part of the ‘user’ partition – but otherwise the system files are strictly read only until a new ‘image’ is ‘flashed’ to it by the update system or a power user with debugging tools. In the past, a common use of root capabilities was to remount the system partition as read/write and then change files on it directly. It’s more complex now.

That’s also why system apps can be rolled back to the stock version, and can sometimes be disabled, but can’t be directly uninstalled like user apps. Only the updated version on the user partition (if there is one) can be removed.
