I'm genuinely asking btw; this isn't just a gripe. I just never thought about it before and now that I have I can't think of any explanation for why it takes any amount of time. Clearly it's doing something more complicated...

question: why does it take so long to update manpages when installing stuff via apt?

aren't they just a few kilobytes of text? why does it take tens of seconds, or even a whole minute, at the end of an install?

I never really thought about it until now but it seems like the sort of thing that should take milliseconds. what is it doing that takes so long?

Large numbers of people don't understand what a billionaire is.

If you, like most of us, ONLY make $1 million a year, it would take you 1,000 years to make $1 billion.

Or, if REALLY lie most of us, you make $50,000 a year, it would take you 20,000 years.

TWENTY THOUSAND YEARS!

If you tax someone who makes a billion a year at a 90% top rate, they would "only" take home $100 million a year.

There’s a massive thunderstorm over/around Dallas. It’s hard to convey just how big this is. This was taken when we were still 120 miles away from it, at minimum zoom.

Day 618

Before leaving my Home.social nest I ported across my 'followers', but the ones I was 'following' didn't seem to come too.

To retain my recent posts I exported an archive:

"The exported data will be in the ActivityPub format, readable by any compliant software."

This has arrived as a 30MB zip file, which unpacks to a few .json files and a stack of nested folders with mostly .jpgs in them.

Does anyone have any ideas about 'compliant software' for RaspiOS or Ubuntu please?

@sophia81 this is shockingly thorough information for what was essentially a throwaway joke and I love it

You can deactivate windows.

1. Open a command prompt as an Administrator.

2. Enter slmgr /upk and wait for this to complete.
This will uninstall the current product key from Windows and put it into an unlicensed state.

3. Enter slmgr /cpky and wait for this to complete.
This will remove the product key from the registry if it's still there.

4. Enter slmgr /rearm and wait for this to complete.
This is to reset the Windows activation timers so the new users will be prompted to activate Windows when they put in the key.

This should put the system back to a pre-key state.

extra source: I have done this, to transfer a key from my old PC to my new one.

the purple PLA is just the right shade for this keyset!

i'm going to move on to designing cases for my other keyboards now but this rules and purple enjoyers should look directly at it
