  • No, but I've seen a lot of pessimism in a few communities, even on positive posts.

  • Caption this

    Jump

  • No need. The image captioned itself!

  • What do your daily meals look like each day?

    Jump
    • Breakfast: None.
    • Lunch: Cereal if I feel like eating, otherwise I skip.
    • Dinner: Chicken wraps, with tomato, lettuce, and Mayo.

    I'll eat a snack later in the evening if I'm still hungry.

  • Got myself a new mug.

  • Apollo for Reddit shut down, and Reddit's app sucks. Voyager looks identical to Apollo, so I moved to it.

  • RIP Nose smile. :)

    TBH, it's for the best

  • There's still no point in gigabit broadband

    Jump

  • For me, the jump from 8 megabit (yes, 8) to 1000 megabit is a huge difference, and has become vital to my work flow.

    So, ruling it out entirely is out of the question for me. It might be overkill to some, but definitely not for me.

  • What software do you really wish had a different option that everything available now?

    Jump

  • Paint.net. I so wish for something simple with a competent UI on Linux.

    Pinta is the closest, but it's too far behind modern paint.net.

    GIMP lacks a competent UI, and Krita is too advanced for basic photo editing.

  • What would a half human / half centaur look like?

    Jump

  • Math can help solve this:

     
        
m = 0.5 # human
h = 0.5 # horse

C = m + h # Centaur

    So Centaur is 50% human, 50% horse. Half human, half Centaur would be:

     
        
# Expand
C / 2 + m
m + h / 2 + m

# Combine
(m + h / 2) + (2m / 2)
3m + h / 2

# Solve
3(0.5)[m] + 0.5[h] / 2
1.5[m] + 0.5[h] / 2
0.75[m] + 0.25[h]

    Which is 0.75 human, 0.25 horse

    Therefore, this hybrid is 75% human, 25% horse

    To answer your question: This would probably be a human with a horse tail, and 2 horse legs.

  • How would you reorganize the ways we interact with the internet to make the world a better place?

    Jump

  • It's better to start over from scratch than it is to try to reorganize a huge code base.

    Therefore, Internet 2.0, where it's only IRC channels for support, forums as "social media", and simple file sharing sites for your video and image content. You don't need anything else.

    Apply the Linux mentality to the Internet 2.0 and it won't be so bloated with slop.

    EDIT: Oh, and no JavaScript! That can stay quarantined with the Internet 1.0

  • Subbed for sure.

    The only anime I've ever watched dubbed was Cyberpunk Edgerunners due to my playthrough of the game being in English.
