In australia it takes 3.5-4 years for a PhD. Then after you finish you move on to postdoctoral research, because doing a second PhD makes no sense
What am I missing in the "end Kernel panic" one?
damn, she hot
That was a good read with some helpful tips, but they didn't have a conclusion at the end so they never answered their own question!
Cool, I just installed Thunderbird and am giving it a go.
I would totally read that book
I'm all for getting into old school tech, I even like to browse neocities.org on occasion just for the hit of nostalgia for the old web rings. I never got into newsgroups though, and I'm wondering what reasons you might use that instead of something like Lemmy, Mastodon etc?
Apart from the piracy side, I know all about that already lol
FOSS version of google docs to run on a home server?
So I want to build a home server to use as a media server, and to back up my photos etc.
I am also currently doing an online course, and happen to spend some time at work as well as at home working on it. I don't like using Google where I can help it, but I find google docs really useful. So I'm wondering if there's an open source application that works essentially the same, but I could run off my own server? It would have to be web-based as I use Windows at work and can't install new programs :/
edit: Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I've got quite a few leads to follow now, it should be fun!
How dare they!
You motherfucker
Maybe to avoid confusion, they should just display units in GB instead of GiB? Or just display both
I wish he had the balls to follow through with it
This is the kind of alarmist media that cripples people with anxiety and leads to learned helplessness. We want to be giving people hope for change, not taking it away.
This is fucking amazing
Since nobody likes calling it X, why don't we call the platform "ex-twitter"? That way it's technically true, and everybody knows what you're talking about.
or maybe eX-twitter
I like the idea of calling it ex-twitter. I came up with the idea when I was having a shower.. Hang on.. there's a community for that! brb
That was an interesting read, I didn't know any of that. thanks for posting.
"Someone could get the most votes, and not win!" McCarthy said at the time.. "So if you come in 3rd, you win. What? 'I got a lot of second votes, I got a lot of 3rd vote — what does that mean?'"
I don't think it's the "Black areas" that are getting confused about how it works. Or perhaps he's just pretending to not understand? 🤔🤔
Happy birthday!
Ublock origin works too
Linux Command Cheat Sheet
I just stumbled across this while trying to learn a bit more about using the command line, and thought others might appreciate it. It comes in a printable format so you can stick it up on your wall :)
Docker for SABnzbd necessary?
Hi folks sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm fairly new to Usenet and although I have it all set up, I saw some instructions to use a docker to run SABnzbd in?
I've been using it for about a month without one, but I'm worried there might be adding security or privacy risk?
Just saw this at the Coventry markets in Morley today
If you think about it, Africans are the real "pure blooded" people, because they didn't interbreed with the Neanderthals like Europeans did after migrating out of Africa.
App suggestion to recommend and track your shows and movies
So one of the benefits of a streaming service is the recommendation algorithm suggesting new shows to you. They're not perfect but I have discovered great shows in the past because of it. So to replace that I've found a great app called JustWatch. It asks you to select what services you're subscribed to so I just choose all of them, then select what shows I've watched and which I liked, and its algorithm suggests new shows to watch. You can also use it to track what episodes you're up to, which I'm sure is great for people more organised and less ADHD than I am!
Disclaimer - I suspect this app is australian-centric, but there must be other apps out there for your country too.
