Well elements are elements. All of them are just protons and neutrons and electrons at the end of the day. They have different properties but all of them behave by the same rules.

But there's some big differences between the various kinds of bodies orbiting the Sun and how they're orbiting the Sun. Big asteroids were considered planets, until we discovered there's a shitload of them and they're all in roughly the same area. When it turned out Pluto is basically in the same situation and there's a lot more of the transneptunian objects, it was pretty clear that Pluto isn't special. If you compare it to planets it's pretty weird. But I think it's good that they created the dwarf planet classification because that also elevated Ceres back, hell yeah.

You know, back in the day, news from America looked like this:

"A Stupid Horrible New Law That Screws People Over was just somehow passed, and it was the long time dream of Senator Whatshisface".

And next to the article, we saw The Portrait: a dude in slick in front of the flag, nicely lit, wearing a sharp dress and tie, nicely combed, smiling with perfect teeth.

So apparently they stopped doing that now. The Portrait, I mean; the headlines are definitely the same.

Things change but things don't really change.

Boot up my dad's computer and play some shareware off the magazine cover disk I got months ago.

Or go to the library I guess.

And this is different from the usual YouTube jank how, exactly? I can't block ads on the YouTube TV app and it's a buggy mess and I have no idea why one of the major tech companies in the world allowed that to happen.

Yup. In theory, it's a program to gently kick the job applicants to apply for more jobs, which sounds like a good thing. In practice, it's yet another way for the authorities to breathe down the neck of job applicants to document the busywork they're already doing, and make sure they're doing nothing productive besides sitting by their phones and waiting for calls (that probably never come because you just annoyed every potential employer by spamming them with applications).

Several years ago, Finnish authorities did another experiment. Universal basic income for a few lucky recipients! People who participated in this couldn't believe how awesome it was to freely engage in a bunch of modern freelancing options that the unemployment benefits program just straight up banned. I hear it was awesome while it lasted. Now, they decided to do this mandatory application bullshit for the rest of the unemployed populace. I'm hoping they got all of the data on which of the options was more productive, because from my point of view, this hasn't been it!

If using plain CSS, usually it's enough to set width appropriately, and margin-left and margin-right to auto.

If using a Modern Frontend/CSS Framework, then may God have mercy on your poor soul.

(Seriously I just started a new project with TailwindCSS and I'm so confused. But not entirely desperate yet.)

Debian girl here. We may not have updated anything in 5 years but boy howdy are things stable or what.

In the past 25 years I've used public transport, I think the bus broke down once while I was aboard, and I think it ended up in the newspaper. I think it's a good thing public transport folks spend a lot of time maintaining the vehicles and especially on regular preventive maintenance.

I can barely fix my bicycle, so I don't want to tinker with the bus company's broken stuff. I trust that stuff to the certified mechanics they employ. Doubly so for trains, that's for some serious mechanics only.

Reminds me of an old RPG parody that had a spell like this:

Gas Cloud: To prepare, the caster must eat two loaves of bread and as many plates of pea soup as they can...

I've been incredibly happy lately dumping my GameCube/Wii games (using a softmodded Wii) and running them on PC with Dolphin. Perfectly legit way of playing games I already own, no matter what Nintendo says, and this is also a way to futureproof my GC/Wii collection the way I can actually trust.

I'm sceptical about how close to Dolphin the official emulation experience on Switch will be able to reach. Based on the N64 debacle, I don't have massively high hopes. Either way, wouldn't be paying extra.

They literally have vast amounts of super advanced bio-machines capable of turning CO2 and water and nutrients into sustainable building materials, and they mismanage them? For shame!!!
