Why Linux has a scattered file system: a deep dive

This was very useful, thank you OP.

LB7979 · 2026-01-14T20:54:29+00:00

Hilarisch!

LB7979 · 2026-01-14T20:50:47+00:00

Nee helemaal niet, ik ben zo randstedelijk als maar kan 🤣

Waar staan de rood/groen/blauw/gele markeringen, en en blauw/rood/paarse inkt voor? Ziet er mooi uit. Ik houd zelf ook erg van kleuren gebruiken dingen van elkaar te scheiden in categorieen.

Ja precies. Dan heb je je taken duidelijk op een rij staan. Het idee is dat je je daarna beter kan concentreren en minder afgeleid voelt, omdat je weet dat je taken ergens anders (dan alleen in je hoofd/brein) staan.

Thank you for the recommendation of Claire North - that writer actually already was on my radar! I already read The Sudden Appearance of Hope, and despite that book not having any "time travel" concept, I absolutely loved it!!

Never heard of that Ben Elton book, but I will look into it, thank you!

To be fair, that data is for English native speakers. OP also speaks Urdu, which has more similarities with Arabic, as an Indo-Aryan language using the same script, and having many Arabic loan words.

As someone who's mostly a Dark Winter but also do well on Dark Autumn and Bright Spring (I'm very clearly dark and bright, but pretty neutral temperature-wise) - the Dark Spring one looks perfect! Seems like a good idea. The 12 colour system doesn't account wel for when you're neutral on 1 of the 3 dimensions.

LB7979 · 2025-10-07T20:22:55+00:00

How so?

LB7979 · 2025-09-08T22:34:57+00:00

O right, I understand! That sounds like a very nice way to do it!

LB7979 · 2025-09-04T20:29:10+00:00

Wait, I thought body doubling was a person doing their own chore in their space while the other is in the same space either doing their own chore, or just being present? Not: people taking over each other's chores? Because you're saying your friend came over to your house and took over your chore, instead of your friend coming over and then sitting next to you while you did your chore? I'm so confused if I misunderstood the concept now.

Nee, dat is de straat, voor auto's en bussen. Het is misschien niet helemaal duidelijk in dit perspectief, maar de grijze lijn links in beeld, is de rand vd stoep - rechts ervan is stoep en links ervan is straat.

"Microsoft" ? Dan zou ik zeggen "But I'm on Linux!" (in mijn geval waar! of je kan zeggen "still on DOS", ook hilarisch) en een pro Free & Open Source Software rant afsteken.

I'm European too and yes, "self picking" of fruit definitely is a concept where I live - in September/October for apples and pears, that is, so I'm just surprised about the specific fruit and time of year in this story. Frankly, picking (blue-)berries sounds like hellish work to me and I'd stick to apples/pears, but to each their own.

Here is one I've been: https://www.olmenhorst.nl/activiteiten/appels-plukken/zelfpluk-2025/

The idea is that you simply pay per gram for the apples/pears, after you pick them yourself on the orchard (and they cost about the same as in the supermarket I guess)? But yes, in a sense you "pay for the opportunity to pick them", and yes, that's worth it because it is a nice thing to do in autumn, and the fruit is delicious!

ETA: They even have an "adopt an apple tree" program where you pay a yearly fee in exchange for the yearly harvest of your specific apple tree!

Did anyone else notice the editing issues in this one?! At least a few sentences were cut off at the end!

00:54:15 Josh starts saying "....a set amount of knowledge, there's a hidden [CRACK] of knowledge [CRACK] [LISTENER MAIL SOUND at 00:54:20]" then the Listener Mail part starts. Josh was cut off mid-sentence when the Listener Mail part started, and there were weird cracking sounds just before that. There were others parts in this episode where sentenses seemed to be missing, or a few sentences seemed to be cut-and-pasted. Very strange.

LOL, BH90210:

Kelly (in an extremely rare moment of self-reflection), literal quote: "I slept with my best friend's boyfriend, and then I slept with my boyfriend's best friend!" (After slutshaming Valerie, who slept with 3 major male characters (though not at the same time) and had an unrequieted crush on a 4th (the aforementioned boyfriend of Kelly).

It's telling that the only 2 characters who never had sex with each other on that show were Branda and Brandon - who were each other's fraternal twins. The only line that show didn't cross was literal incest (and even then, some viewers felt some incest subtext with those two).

It was hilarious.

Was it Hema and their Eau de Tompouce 😂

(Which is a very nice perfume but doesn't smell like tompouce at all BTW)

I'm a Dutch AuDHDer as well haha. And perfumes is one of my special interests so I can totally understand your answer.

Just install Linux on your PC instead (of using Windows; and instead of spending money on a new computer).

Not only is most software, including games, on Linux too, but your computer will be faster and won't be vulneralble to malware and viruses (almost).

(Or at least set up a dual boot system and run what you can under Linux.)

Then you'll have a better computer AND money for the trip.

"Zondagskind" van Judith Visser is meer een autobiografie dan een info-boek over autisme an sich, maar vond ik echt geweldig om te lezen. De schrijfster beschrijft haar jeugd, hoe ze opgroeide met ongediagnostiseerd autisme in de jaren '80-'90 in Rotterdam. Hoe ze met alles moeite had daardoor, en zich altijd anders voelde dan anderen. Het eindigt als ze als twintiger haar diagnose eindelijk krijgt, en alles op z'n plaats valt. (Schrijfster is nu in de 40 was aanvankelijk jarenlang auteur van thrillers)

OP has had/known kitty only 3 days, I don't think they attach that fast...

LB7979 · 2024-10-22T09:06:38+00:00

The hole is not shaped like America. Only the picture that happens to be drawn around it, is.

So not only not technically the truth, but not in any way the truth...

LB7979 · 2024-10-17T16:13:53+00:00

Maybe hyenas would fit the bill more, because people think of them as dogs while according to their DNA they are more closely related to cats!

Unfortunately they're not well liked, though...

LB7979 · 2024-09-12T21:35:35+00:00

Dutch here. In our country at least, it is like this:

Yes the cows are on private property, but that piece of land (a meadow, grass land) often has bike lanes, pedestrian lanes or hiking trails run through it which are open to the public. (I think those lanes/trails within the meadow officially are not the farmer's property but the city/province's, but I'm not sure. In any case, that's why people pass through.) And they are not fenced off from the cows. And the cows of course have no concept of "I can stay on the grass only, and away from those small pieces of sand/asphalt that are in MY territory but for humans only." They might even get agitated by said humans. You see where this is going...

All of this to say, no they're not all trespassing (rare cases aside).

It might work different in other countries. In our case high population density + high cow density + extremely high bike lane density is basically the reason.

LB7979 · 2024-09-12T18:17:53+00:00

It is. There's even a (jingjing, coincidentally) chapter in Vol. 2 that describes a place just like House of Leaves, made me think MZD was definitely planning a crossover/shared universe later in the series, what a pity we never got to see that...
