Yes. I don’t remember the exact numbers but the early 000s deal with computers and the later 000 deal with hoaxes and forgeries
Of course. And no worries. I know it’s a niche joke. Buckle up it’s a long one. Many public libraries, at least in the US, use the Dewey Decimal System (000-999) to organize their nonfiction books. The gist is that Mellville Dewey is problematic for many reasons, but for this example you have to know that when organizing books, Dewey’s best practice is that known hoaxes are categorized and shelved right along with the nonfiction books in the same category. For example the book 1421 claims that America was discovered by the Chinese in year 1421. This book is shelved right along the rest of American history in 945.05. However, the 000’s is the “contested knowledge” which has ghosts, UFOs, Bigfoot, etc. I feel that moving books like 1421 into 000s it lets librarians contextualize books by essentially saying “we think this book is as true as ghosts.”
I didn’t mean to plagiarize but if I did I apologize
Fair. But “Lukewarm take” just doesn’t have the same punch.

He didn’t like that she was “telling him what to do.” They had two perfectly fine vehicles btw.
SchrodingersPat@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?4·2 years agoI use Void Linux. I switched from Arch btw because I liked their package manager, was curious about their init system runit, and still wanted a rolling release. I’ve used it for a little over a year now and overall I’ve been happy.
Who says it doesn’t?
I have not sorry
I use void now with xfce and i3. But I’ll be honest. I still like Ricing.
I would liken it to more like if Debian was a shot of whiskey, Ubuntu is like a whiskey sour. It still has whiskey as a base but enough ingredients have been added and changes have been made that it’s its own thing.

This is all the validation I need

I get your point. Garamond memes just don’t hit quite as hard.
