Jeg måtte lige slå op hvad poserne er lavet af, og tilsyneladende er det cellulose. I det mindste er et et renere produkt at nedbryde i naturen end cigaretfiltre, det har du helt ret i.
Og ja, en del der smider skodder har jo sikkert stadig en "nogen kommer jo og rydder op efter mig" mentalitet. Hvor jeg bor er det primært i de områder hvor der bliver festet og drukket i centrum at der bliver smidt mest skodder/nikotinposer/skrald, og det giver jo mening at det foregår om aftenen og natten hvor der ikke er så mange til at udpege svineriet.

Linux is not that old. There's a reason why the "Actually it's GNU+Linux.." meme exists, because Linux is built using tools that were already around, he didn't start entirely from scratch.

spoilerI'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

If there's one song that takes me back to GTA Vice City, cruising downtown on a harvey davidson style motorcycle, then it's "Video killed the Radio Star", what a tune.

“The American private health insurance industry has ruined countless lives by denying people access to basic care and burying families in medical debt,” said D4 Legal Committee spokesperson Sam Beard in a statement.

Sam Beard of the Party Girls podcast btw.
Here's a clip of him on CNN.

It's no less preposterous than claiming you'll invade an ally if you don't get your will.

Hvad jeg forestiller mig det her fører til er bare mere skrald i gaderne, for nikotin brugere har jo alle dage været de største svin i offentligheden. Hvis det ikke er røg eller vammel jordbærdampe, så er det filtre og poser overalt. Måske de skulle indføre en smelte-stikpille version med nikotin så slap vi endelig for alt det fis.

Jeg kan lige forestille mig deres forsvar være noget i stil med "Vi begik kun hit and runs, der blev ikke uploadet en eneste bit for meget efter vi havde hentet det forskningsmateriale vi var ude efter!"

Only advertised product I've ever spent money on is NordVPN which is fine for my use case - avoiding geoblocking a couple of times a week. Probably switching to Mullvad soon though, because American companies can eat dirt.

But yeah, honey was always super sus. If something seems "too good to be true", maybe it is.

Who was the lady that was deaf and blind, and famously overcame those?

Might be Helen Keller, very famous deafblind activist. A quote from wikipedia kind of shows how hard communicating when senses are limited:

The next month, Keller made a breakthrough, when she realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand, while running cool water over her other hand, symbolized the idea of "water". Writing in her autobiography, The Story of My Life, Keller recalled the moment:

I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten—a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that w-a-t-e-r meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, set it free!

Just last week I was looking up ADHD and autism in blind people, but I was also questioning whether blind people could have aphantasia. Or rather, how does blind people perceive roundness or a circle in their mind? They know what it feels like at least, so is it tied to some other sense? I'm guessing blind people have a way of mapping out surroundings and 3D space, but I imagine explaining how a person thinks about stuff like this is as hard to describe as whether two people perceive the same colours the same way.

That sentence just tickles me the right way:

You watch it - and information is revealed

Thanks, this seems like a very thorough description of the situation. My limited understanding of how coding works and has worked through history is like you say "filled with a lot of jank" regarding memory because it was limited but also because compilers weren't as efficient as they are today. So it makes sense that there are purists that believes the only good code is the one where programmers are in total control of every bit of memory themselves instead of leaving anything to automation.
