Basically. This is like her thinking of a water molecule and him thinking of a glass of water.

I guess Jedi masters consider fish to be a monophyletic group.

The dump truck, at 45 tons, ascends the 13-percent grade and takes on 65 tons of ore. With more than double the weight going back down the hill, the beast's regenerative braking system recaptures more than enough energy to refill the charge the eDumper used going up.

How is 'source' part of the metaphor?

I'm trying to reassign the side buttons on my logitech superlight to keyboard input. However, the side buttons default to to back/forward.

The settings window for reassigning mouse input is in a 'forwarded' position, so clicking the 'back' button on the mouse results in the settings window moving back a menu level instead of reassigning the button.

The 'forward' mouse button can be reassigned, though, as there is nothing 'ahead' in the menu.

I've previously had luck reassigning the side buttons using input-remapper, but I'm on tumbleweed which doesn't have input-remapper in its repositories.

Is there a way around this UI quirk in KDE that will allow me to reassign the 'back' button on my mouse?

Or have any other tumbleweed users had luck reassigning both mouse side buttons on KDE?

One other approach I can think of is if it's possible to disable/supress the default forward/back behavior in KDE.

Any ship traveling towards another ship would have its nose pointed towards it.

If both ships travel towards each other, their noses would be aligned, but their roll would likely be different.

That's a bit different from what's being shown in the comic where ships seem to have any orientation, no matter the context.

As for a galactic up/down, the galactic disc would be the obvious reference. That still leaves a 50/50 chance that two civilizations would choose the same direction as up.

This one is tricky, because Lemmy hates both Musk and AI.

Maybe just try switching to a 4:3 resolution before investing in an entire monitor.

After leaving Windows I actually still get stressed just reading about stuff like this.

This seems incompatible with a pretty high proportion of Americans.

Compiz was a house of cards you kept building higher. Let me just launch my 'cube skybox 3d-multilayer wobbly windows with fire effects, shading and sticky edges' - desktop. When Vista was the alternative it was the goddamn future.
