That’s what I meant by “use the lab machines”. Basically you can do the work on your own devices if it is Mac or Linux but are expected to ssh or remote desktop into the lab machines if you have windows

They told us we should have a linux or a mac in first year comp sci and if we didn’t we should use the lab machines. Probably because they are both unix like operating systems.

I spent far too long wondering why someone would collect bookmarks just to read them instead of the books they are placed in

I learn something new about the American dialect everyday. Thanks

“Mainstream trend of all cars bad” which mainstream is that? Because last I checked Australia, Canada, the US and the UK are all still extremely car centric. This also completely ignores the fact that it is car centrism that causes the disregard for pedestrians and people on bikes. Finland and Denmark certainly don’t seem to have an abundance of poeple developing bike blindness and they have mixed traffic zones all over the place.

One more question because this is honestly baffling to me: Is gnocchi also noodles in the US? How about ravioli? And what about pierogi and other dumplings?

Are you serious? “pasta”, “lasagna sheet”, “lasagna”. Literally anything that isn’t a completely different shape. Hell, calling it “lasagna paper” makes more sense than calling it a noodle… Do you yanks have the term “noodle shaped”? If you do how do you grapple with that and calling pasta of completely different shapes “noodles”? Is this a pool noodle in the US? A lasagna sheet is as far as you could possibly get from a noodle when it comes to carbohydrate food items.

“sheet of lasagna noodle” I’m sorry but what did you just call it? I can understand calling spaghetti a noodle, at least it is noodle shaped but lasagna sheets!?

I wonder what this will mean for the kurds? I am hoping that HTS remains true to their words about religious and ethnic minorities. Mazloum Abdi of the SDF at least seems hopeful for an opportunity to build a democratic and just Syria. Im not holding my breath though, it is a very rapidly changing situation and we’ll just have to wait and see

The amount of negativity on that thread alone is enough for me to realise that bluesky is not for me. I enjoy the positivity I find on the fedi and decided I wouldn’t use a platform that algorithmically rewards negativity when I was harassed off facebook. I am glad that others are finding it nicer than twitter but for me it seems much the same but without Elon Musk

My top 3: EA, Ubisoft, Nintendo

To be fair to him, his AI can probably make a better game than he ever could himself

Definitely looks more like a Vaporeon head to me. Gyarados has a 3-pronged crown, not three head fins and vaporeon has a full collar.
