  • System76 is a company that sells computers with a Linux OS pre-installed and made of hardware optimized to work especially with Linux(Linux will work on pretty much any hardware including apples). “Linux” in this context is a loosely defined colloquial term which refers to a large group of OS’s (the OS’s are also called Linux distributions/distros) which all use the same kernal component (this is the most important part of an OS) which is officially called the Linux Kernel. The actual OS’s can vary massively from one another POP_OS! is one of these Linux OS’s. You will have to pick a specific Linux distribution, which you can use to completly replace the current OS on any computer, including a MacBook, no virtual machine needed





  • I think emulating twitter was a huge mistake for mastadon, the twitter reply structure that makes it difficult to have a long conversation with multiple people to be the main part of the post but ideal for “dunks” and outrage farming. I think the Tumblr reblog structure would have been an infinitly better choice for the more actual socialising thing fediverse is going for and a small user base that isnt producing much content and can re-circulate older posts. also it’s less image-centric allowing more posts to be stored on a server, additionally (intuitively, I haven’t thought about implementation that hard) it seems like a much more natural fit for federation.





  • I’d never heard of anyone else this happed to before! Less consequences for me but there was a ~4 year period of my life where at least once a week I’d have a dream wherei just got up and went through a normal day from 8:00 to like 11:00 or as late as like 16:00 sometimes. For example in the dream I would wake up, go to the gym, hang out with my friends as normal and then I would wake up and have to do the whole day again, but sometimes I thought the dream had been real and would brace myself to deal with leftover arguments or jobs from the dream

    The only tell I ever noticed was that people were way meaner in the dream








  • Not claiming this makes sense, but(in traditional Christian belif) Jesus is not a distinct entity from God.

    God is one being made up of: the father(the being you are refering to as Christian god in your comment),

    the son(jesus, who is gods humansona but the father does not stop existing when Jesus mode is active, and Jesus has always exsisted i.e.he wasn’t created when he was born, and will always exist)

    and the holy spirit (god’s spiritual power or force e.g in an exorcism it’s the holy spirit that actually casts the deamon out ). these are all ‘aspects’ of a single being, to reference St.Patrick its like how a shamrock has 3 leaves but they make up one plant
