derp posted:is schadenfreude really just 'enjoying bad things happening to people'? I thought it was more specific than that. maybe because I became familiar with the word from reading the bitcoin thread back in the day. whatever the word is for people who have bad things happen to them specifically due to their own arrogance, overconfidence, hubris, that's the flavor of schade that i love best Its meaning in German also has very little relationship with the meaning it gets as a loan-word in English, because neither are truly-perscriptivist languages, at least for English today, the approach seems to be to stick with descriptivist linguistics. Personally, I'm more of a cunning linguist.

This reminds me a lot of when McDonalds came to Denmark in the early 1980s and found out about the Nordic labour model much the same way.

Subjunctive posted:We also share 90% of our genes with cats, so I'm not sure that it's the meaningful measure of behavioural similarity that you're implying! Supposedly we also share something like 50% of our DNA with every single multi-cellular eukaryote in the animalia kingdom. A mycologist friend of mine also told me that apparently mushrooms share more DNA with us than they do with plants.

Ashcans posted:A huge chunk of DNA is just basic stuff that almost all life uses in common like cell processes and replication. DNA is also sort of accretion over time, so a species will still carry some from its ancestors even if it’s not used or expressed anymore. So the percentage isn’t very intuitive! For example, lots of the non-coding parts of the human genome has RNA which we know has functionality; it's just that we don't always know the specific functionality, beyond being able to divide it into a couple handfuls of rough categories. Mind you, biology class was more than a decade and a half ago for me, so it's entirely possible that the science has advanced considerably.

Captain Hygiene posted:Are you sure you clicked right? I know for a while they've been playing those games where the update notifications are designed to get you to agree to the upgrade when you think you're just lazily clicking through another 10 update. I really hope they're not starting to actually force them. I've clicked the 'I want to stay on Windows 10 for now" button (just re-did it, to remember what it was called) - but I expect eventually Microsoft will force-update everyone who isn't paying for ESU after October 14, 2025. Interestingly enough, Microsoft have extended the ESU program to cover basically every edition of Windows, not just the Enterprise versions - but there's still no word on pricing.

Still not perfect but at least most of the OS bullshit I deal with now comes from incompetence rather than malice: My daily driver (ie. the machine I use for everything-but-gaming) is a ThinkPad T480s running FreeBSD (-CURRENT). Mega Comrade posted:I went to 10 for a while but Microsoft repeatedly installing candy crush on my machine with software updates was the final straw and is when I jumped to the penguin. I use WinAero Tweaker to turn a bunch of stuff off, so perhaps I accidentally found a setting that prevents it.
