cats@lemmy.world•When your kitten takes a nap on you for the first time, but it’s actually under your ass
16·2 years agoWouldn’t change it for the world. Crazy guy finally coming around.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation
The reason, I tell you, is always the same
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought,
of the thought,
of the thought of his name

Technology@lemmy.world•The ASUS Eee PC and the netbook revolutionEnglish
7·2 years agoI had used computers back since I was a kid in the 90s with my families 95 then 98 machine, and finally XP. But MY first computer and introduction to tinkering with software was an EEE pc 1005HAB. Atom processor, 2gb ram, and WiFi. I loved the thing. Best of all, I discovered it had compatibility (but not power) to run TF2 on it, which was so much better on PC than console. I spent hours finding ways to overclock it, mod the game to be as lightweight as possible, and eventually was able to play a game at a solid 30 fps so long as I played on the smallest map and used models that were only 50 polygons each. I installed Linux for the first time too, and so of course the next logical step was building my own pc. The rest is history I suppose…

Apple@lemmy.world•Fine Woven review from The Verge highlights the problems
144·3 years agoOkay guys. Hear me out. I ordered the wallet and case with my new phone. In the box, it specifically states on the instructions that the finewoven material WILL patina with time, just like leather. This was not unknown to apple. I am not trying to say that it will infact look nice when there is a year of patina, I am just saying that this is a feature, not a bug. I wish they had emphasized this more when announcing the fabric. They expect people to use it LIKE LEATHER. It should age like leather, it should feel like the suede leather, and it should be handled like leather. So I think these arguments that it “scratches too easily” are just somewhat overboard. The finewoven wallet on my phone the last 2 days looks just like when I received it.
Wait what am I saying. Apple bad. Bad bad apple. You make bad product and too pricey. Now go back to Cupertino and make an indestructible leather alternative that is REALLY worth the money.

Technology@lemmy.world•Boeing is letting top executives work in small offices near their homes and commute by private jet rather than relocate to its new headquartersEnglish
1·3 years agoAerospace division? Do you even know what Boeing does? Its all aerospace (except I guess for that one sub thing they made I think?)
But ya, Calhoun is a lord on high for sure.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI-generated art cannot be copyrighted, rules a US Federal JudgeEnglish
3·3 years agoWell this is going to the Supreme Court I guess.
Back in my college days, I first used a T60 (not ultrabook) then moved to an x220 (nearing ultrabook). The X220 was perfect, removable battery, all day battery, good build quality, perfect for linux. I rocked mint with DWM for the 2nd half of my uni days.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time?English
2·3 years agoBruh, Aldi has them for 1.12 a dozen. They’re literally less expensive than they were in the 90s adjusting for inflation.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Mastodon admin says he has been suspending accounts created by car companies
4·3 years agoI have noticed that, at least in Mastodon, the fediverse seems to be significantly more pro active transport. I’d gander this is because this really has expanded to the “masses” yet, but it is really nice to see our favorite orange youtuber and other like minded individuals actively posting frequently.
I’ve been on Mastadon for a while, and have liked it for content that was less mainstream on Twitter. Gave a better way to get more frequent content from folks I wanted to follow over Reddit. Glad to see Lemmy finally gain momentum due to the Reddit drama.
