Try to get as much as possible off Windows. You can transfer the remaining Windows-only programs to a virtual machine in snapshot mode, or if necessary, a real machine with a backed up image, that you can reimage regularly.

Not everyone can get off Windows. But get as much as you can. Isolate what’s left.

“Refrigerator Wifi Firmware”

3 words, but my job is still bullshit.

Hell no. I want to be unable to use that emoji for at least a year, preferably a lifetime.

(The Unicode consortium betrayed us, and themselves, by putting emoji in Unicode.)

China’s carbon dioxide emissions are more than a third of the world’s total emissions. Their CO2 emissions are increasing and accelerating.

No matter how much they subsidize solar, unless they implement a carbon emission tax, the emissions will keep increasing.

You can butt-stuff-shame people who would have condemned others for doing butt stuff.

I feel like we should be normalizing $1, $2, and $5 coins at this point. I know $1 coins exist, but nobody uses them. If I drop a $1 coin in a tip jar, people say sarcastically “thanks, that 25 cents will go a long way” because they think it’s a quarter.

Abolishing the USD cent comes way too late.

Was abolishing the half penny in 1857 a good idea? If so, then abolishing the quarter would be a good idea today. It has about as much buying power as the half penny did in 1857.

Thanks, that looks a little better, but still missing things like sending keystrokes to non-active windows. (Also, I’m on Mate desktop on most my computers.)

I just need xdotool. ydotool is missing almost everything. I don’t need programs sandboxed from each other. I don’t need that multi-DPI stuff (200% scaling works fine in X). Wayland doesn’t provide any features I’m missing.

I’ve used them before, and they work aside from a lack of integration with other programs. Same as any other isolation system (like Snap).

My main problem is a lack of digital signatures on the packages. Deb, RPM, everything else is digitally signed, and has been for a long time. Flatpaks should be signed too.

“Trump card” will mean cards that you hide under the table or up your sleeve.

Yes. But it keeps going forever, and eventually some chaotic-evil person will kill choose to kill 2^43 people, which is a thousand times the world’s population.

I see loss, I downvote.

If any cops or cop apologists wanna disagree with this: show me a good cop who arrested an ICE. Because ICE is breaking the law, and as far as I can tell, nobody’s arresting them.

They used to use analog computers to solve differential equations, back when every transistor was expensive (relays and tubes even more so) and clock rates were measured in kilohertz. There’s no practical purpose for them now.

In cases of number theory, and RSA cryptography, you need even more precision. They combine multiple integers together to get 4096-bit precision.

If you’re asking about the 24-bit ADC, I think that’s usually high-end audio recording.

Can I go into exile?

The maximum theoretical precision of an analog computer is limited by the charge of an electron, 10^-19 coulombs. A normal analog computer runs at a few milliamps, for a second max. So a max theoretical precision of 10^16, or 53 bits. This is the same as a double precision (64-bit) float. I believe 80-bit floats are standard in desktop computers.

In practice, just getting a good 24-bit ADC is expensive, and 12-bit or 16-bit ADCs are way more common. Analog computers aren’t solving anything that can’t be done faster by digitally simulating an analog computer.

Better dead than in a concentration camp. If they assault someone violently, it’s more likely to turn heads (especially if they’re a US citizen. For some reason.)

Any info on this? I can’t find anything about Chipotle removing any DEI stuff.
