eh, i figure we’ll all pay for it some day, when an overzealous capitalist AI harvests the poor for raw material.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever solved a Rubik's Cube? And how?
2·9 days agoi have, and lots of other twisty puzzles to boot. my PB on the 3x3 was around 30 seconds i think, back when i practiced more. there’s lots of relatively simple algorithms you can learn to solve it.
if you don’t need those windows only programs to earn a living, just install linux, don’t fuck around with dual booting. accept that you’re gonna have to learn new things. you’ll adapt.
if you do need windows for something, i guess dual boot, but make a pact with yourself to only use it for that one program, and switch back when you’re done, and keep looking for replacements so you can cut that last chain lashing you to m$. i highly recommend alternativeto for that.
or is it better to give up and buy a revolver with a full magazine
quick point of fact: revolvers do not use magazines. that’s kinda their thing.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would you want done with your remains upon death?
2·16 days agounfortunately everything i would most want done with the bulk of my remains is illegal in the US. no cannibal barbecue memorial. no using bones for arts and crafts. at least my organs can get donated if anyone needs them, but best legal option after that’s done is probably cremation, and then use my ashes in making a nice ceramic dish set or sculpture or something.

alas, i don’t think there’s actually Panthera leo running around michigan.


other commenters have covered the first two parts of your question quite well already. old books written in the 1900s are books that were written between 1900 and 1999. back then, books mostly got printed on paper, which is kinda like a screen, except it only shows one thing, ever, so you need lots of these “papers” to show a whole book. these papers would all be attached together using string and/or glue. books covered a wide variety of topics. they could be educational or describe made up stories. they could be small enough to fit in a pocket, or so big you need two hands to carry them. notable trends in books during the 1900s included the flourishing of science fiction, a kind of made up story where scientific or technological advancements play a prominent role, buoyed by technological progress and optimism about the future in the first half of the 20th century. the 1900s also saw a great deal of attention put to comic books, which, unlike more traditional books, tell stories using small pictures with text to show dialogue, rather than just text. comic books were well known for their depiction of heroic characters with unusual abilities such as Wonder Woman, or Spider-Man.
