Nice. I really like this. Thank you!

I think the saying is about not losing sight of the big picture while focusing on the details. I think you may focus on the trees and the animals and the mushrooms. But you should also see the whole and the interplay between the individual parts. Presumably.

Lvm could be the way to go. Start with the minimum amount of partitions (i.e. / and /boot and swap as lv, maybe efi as a real partition). Add additional lv later if/ when you need them. You can always re-size a partition and the wrapping lv when you want to re- distribute storage-space.

I never needed more than these partitions. But that is just my use case.

Edit: oh. Missed the Multi boot point. Forget what I wrote. :)

When I imagine Ralph, I see an outsider who is avoided by the other children and ignored by the teachers, with a loving but somehow helpless father. …being lonely , not being part of the group, not understanding the rules of the world around him.

I think it has to do with the need for attention and closeness. When you lack it, you turn to the person who has already fulfilled this need for you. It’s hard to live with unfulfilled needs that you can’t fulfill yourself. I guess the key is to learn how to find a relationship where your feelings are reciprocated (and to find out when they are not). I know that feeling and I don’t have a solution.

I don’t know whether this is a characteristic that is more prevalent in autistic people.

Great. I would like to be able to do that.

Danke Merkel!

I need a sabbatical. Canada maybe or New Zealand. A retreat to a monastery also sounds nice. I will rebuild an old farm house. Something along these lines. :)

It doesn’t have to be the truth, or does it?

What the fork?

Some people are just one hit wonders, so it could be für nothing. But it would be worth a try.

It’s definitively better than to give the idea of nuclear fission to Henry Cavendish in 1766. Right now we live in the sweet spot between discovery and… broad practical application.

(I’m sorry)

Too late maybe. :)

It felt unusual at first that they attached semantics to (white spaces and tabs as) non-printable characters. On the other hand other n.p.- characters like line feeds always had a meaning (I.e. within multi line strings).

So why not, when it helps to reduce the amount of (printable) characters to describe your thing and increase clarity? 🤔

It does include a tuner…unless you’re making some distinction between “tuner” and “receiver” that I’m not catching on to?

No. I misread it. Sorry for the confusion. It all does make so much more sense now. :)

Does Attention economy describe that phenomenon or is that term just used for longer-term events? Or is it even something different?

That is a BMW E46 Generation 3-Series with the “Business CD” audio option which does include an AM/FM radio tuner…

So they left out the receiver but kept the am fm button? They could have used a cover/ blind instead. Why wouldn’t they do that? We live in a strange world.

…that being said you can clearly see it’s playing Track 11 of the CD…

Good eye.

…that being said I think “Radio” is commonly used generically for many devices playing audio content.

I was previously under the impression that a device must at least be able to receive radio programs in order to be called a radio. But English is not my first language, so I could be wrong.

So yer ma could be right that it is indeed just a CD player?

There are an am/fm button and multiple memory buttons. So it could be the control panel for both?

Interesting. I learned something. Again.

Be aware that there are over 30 books by him out there.

All in all there are are like 40. At some point you will wish there were more.

Guards! Guards! is nice.
I also liked The Wee Free Men and a Hat Full of Sky.

If you like Andy Weirs novels, Tchaikowskys books are worth a try. I.e.:

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky

I proposed an extension of the feature set. The current behaviour is still possible. You can use the added feature but you don’t have to.

The issue for me: The current landscape in lemmy has a lot of sparsely filled groups - I do not browse by group (filter by subscribed or all and sorted by new or hot).
In this view multiple identical posts with distributed replies are shown. This adds redundancy in the comments and reduces clarity.

Edit: The idea rises the question, how the ownership (or relation) of a post to the group and its replies should be handled. Using an x-post-like approach is just one idea.
