    That’s a major part in the Ender’s Game series. They have faster than light communication, but the ships travel at like 90% the speed of light. So when traveling between planets, it’s like a two week trip to the people traveling, but 20 years on planet.

    The main character Ender travels often, so he is only 35 in the second book, a couple thousand years after the first book.










  • Spotify has almost every song on the planet

    Until a contract negotiation with UMG goes south and they lose half the catalog overnight. See what’s happening on tiktok right now for a good example of this.

    I understand the convenience draw, but I’m not a fan of continually paying for content that can disappear at any moment.


  • I get why you would want that, but I think that would end up causing other weird issues. Like what happens when someone from that instance is in the middle of a comment chain? Would it cut off the thread there, or would there just be a comment missing?

    I’ll take the simple solution over no solution.


  • zarkony@lemmy.ziptoLinux@lemmy.mlWhat is your unbiased opinion on Manjaro?

    I disagree. Not everyone wants to spend the time to completely customize their system. Distros like Manjaro and Endeavor give people a decent “just works” install while still giving them experience with the Arch ecosystem. The forums are usually a good resource, and everything on the arch wiki still applies. It might just be because I had previous linux experience, but I’ve learned a lot running Manjaro.

    The average person is not going to jump straight into vanilla Arch as their first distro, but after a couple years with Manjaro, they might try it.
