Argh! Why is @Nextcloud 📱☁️💻 not telling me that there's a new version out? I'm on 29 and it's telling me it's up to date.
Maybe it's a PHP thing because I'm still on 8.2.20, but that should be supported.
Season 3 Launch: What is Coercive Control?
As I return from my studies in the Psychology of Coercive Control MSc programme at the University of Salford, I'm looking forward to covering more content on thSpreaker
Without fail, every time I boost a post about discrimination on the fedi, I end up seeing a bunch of white guys trying trying to minimize it and telling the original poster why they're wrong and/or being unreasonable.
I'm getting the impression that just maybe the people complaining about this aren't making it up or something.
Weird, right?

A while ago on a whim, I did a somewhat deep dive into the abacus. I thought it would be interesting to learn about a device that is sometimes credited as an ancestor of the modern computer.
I've come to be of the opinion that it's not really a fair comparison though. An abacus is not a computer... at least not a full-fledged computer. It doesn't compute anything. Your brain does that. I think it is fair however to compare it to memory, though.
An abacus is essentially an array of memory cells. Instead of storing bytes, it stores digits, but that's a trivial distinction. You even have to allocate those memory cells to accommodate the structure of the data you are operating on, just like you would with the memory in a computer.

My mother-in-law overestimates my command of the Spanish language (though knowing French is admittedly helpful).
She claims that I understand 80% of what I hear. It's closer to 30%, but I can piece a lot together through context.

Just got a push notification on my phone:
To receive nearby offers and coupons, you need to agree to the location service's Terms and Conditions.
Um... no, thank you?

In fact, I think I've seen this notification once before.
Just took my first dose of metformin. The only thing I had on hand to take it with was Coke
This was not well planned out. I'm clearly off to a great start.

In the world of computers, no matter what tool you use, someone will hate it and tell you you're an idiot for using it.
Don't worry about those people. Use the tool that works you.
(This advice probably extends beyond computers.)

I actually wrote a column about this ten years ago, that is sadly still relevant:

You can also check sliderulemuseum.com/SRM_Duplic… to “adopt” an extra #SlideRule from their collection.
Also, it’s pretty easy to find an affordable #SlideRule on EBay.
Welcome to the hobby!

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •Yup! A circular slide rule is a little unconventional, but has the advantage of never “going off scale”, where your answer is of the end of the rule. For example, when multiplying 4 by 6.
If you want a conventional, linear, #SlideRule, I don’t think anyone is still making them. You’ll have to look at eBay or ISRM. There are plenty of nice, affordable used #SlideRules to be found!
