Rock horns. Shorthand for “that rocks” a more manly way to say I love that.

Thats great! I feel comfortable using the heart emoji with my wife and kids, but for co-workers it can be a little creepy depending in the circumstance. I started using the blue heart, but that just caused confusion. I found the horns conveyed the thought better without being creepy.

That’s right, you pay for support not the binaries and the source code is free under GPL.

If I am pubbing then teams are rando and often the mix of team players is more important than any one player’s individual skill.

Its funny how Michael Meyers decided ogres are Scottish and Scottish people are kind of ok with it.

Hatred, fear and loathing.

I hate you. I hate you all.

So you’re saying the ad driven internet will die? And we will be left with what? Wikipedia and Lemmy? I for one welcome our AI overlords!

Our big brains take a lot of care and feeding for sure.

We also adapted for endurance hunting and fine motor control in our hands. A Chimpanzee could tear your arm off, but they could not throw a curveball.

Just to add to this all data is ultimately stored as ones and zeros. In order to translate it to a piece of text or some type of number the computer needs to determine what type of data it represents. If the computer guesses the wrong type you just get garbage. Languages like C allow you to store data without rigid type definitions, it is up to the programmer to make sure the code gets the type right. In a strongly typed language you are not allowed to use variables of one type as some other type without some explicit conversion. It is safer but a little annoying.

That’s pretty amazing. Where is this?

Not sure why you got downvoted, it is a fair question. Real time multiuser editing is a powerful feature. That said it is really only needed a small fraction of the time for specific types of collaboration. Also, it can cause problems as well. Libreoffice Calc meets most of my home spreadsheet needs: calculating mortgage rates and future value of investments and such.
