A lain profile picture, how surprising
I was waiting for someone to notice the juxtaposition
Not excel. Pls no. Pls LibreOffice Calc
Base(d)
If I turn into a computer and someone installs Excel, please unplug me.
And then put the computer in a dump truck. It’d be pretty fun to be a dump truck for 10 years or so, traveling, seeing things get built, making snarky comments to the dudes working the gravel pit or whatever. And maybe some other person is in the crane computer and we relate because we are both post-humans.
I’m gonna be a beautiful spreadsheet!
You misspelled OpenOffice Calc
You misspelled LibreOffice Calc :)
Seriously, OpenOffice hasn’t had any major updates since 2015 and it barely gets any maintenance. It doesn’t even get security updates in a timely fashion. LibreOffice on the other hand is actually actively developed and is 11 years worth of features, bug fixes, improvements to Microsoft Office compatibility, quality of life tweaks, etc. ahead of OpenOffice
No Excel. No software of any kind. Just a gif of a rat spinning in circles for eternity
If I upload my mind to a Mac, do I become more digitally beautiful than PC digi-people, but far less cognitively flexible?
(BTW, please don’t flame me for hating on Macs, I used Macs for most of my life, it’s just a joke.)
You become more digitally beautiful but cannot help the feeling that you have lost a small part of you in the process. You traverse your new habitat only to realise large parts of it are walled off to you.
You eventually acquiesce to your situation, as a metaphorical bird in a carefully designed and elegant yet ultimately hollow bird cage.
(Also a Mac & Linux user, I’d really be hoping nobody takes enough offense at joke posts like this in 196 Lemmy to warrant a flame war).
LOL, indeed, but would I also enjoy better digital health, because most viruses and malware are designed for PC digi-people? 😆
The mind of 3023 rests in a brain of superconductor and silicon
You’d be the first immortal computer, that’s for sure
Reminds me of Black Mirror
Or Upload, what happens when you run out of money to pay for the good afterlife subscription and microtransactions start bleeding you dry?
Fall; or, Dodge in Hell is also a good exploration of the subject
This sounds really good! I love Neal Stephenson, I’m a little surprised I haven’t heard of it, thanks!
Can’t stop me from beeping as an organic.
::Windows startup noise::
One word: dust
Now you will suffer the worst fate: getting a BSOD
Or I can install Linux and get fucking murdered by the OOM killer instead! Yay
just reboot me then doh
Don’t they automatically reboot when that happens nowadays though?
