Like it or not, there are puscontrollers and joydicks in the world. You can use your hands or...

They are only buying a new battery. Not the whole car.

Have you replaced anything at all those 20+ years old cars that you own? That's the comparison we should do. Cost of maintenance.

I am impressed by the numbers. According to the text in this post, Ukraine received 6k and Russia "took back" 78. The chosen verb implies Russia could have received more bodies but... Didn't want to? In any case, I wonder why such disparity..

Fwiw, I'm hetero and having a girl on top feels like they have more, if not all, control.

I never subscribed to homosexual dichotomy of tops and bottoms. Long ago, I learnt that there were "active" and "passive" roles.

I guess it's generational. Like "old" terms that sound antique or even "wrong".

Signal, yes...

Or snikket (xmpp).

Or delta chat (email).

The three are good.

Though, if we compare nowadays distros like Bazzite with Windows 11..

For these to be 'translated' onto anything (e.g. a bagel) one would first need to find the axes: anterior-posterior and left-right. This works with organisms of bilateral symmetry.

Not the world, but US.

Ah, I had no idea. Those memes didn't reach my info bubble :P

You read my message as an accusation to you, but I was describing everyone else and all the downvotes you got!

Of course you, and anyone else, is entitled to their preferences!! That's the beauty of FLOSS. That's precisely my point.

This part of this blog post has always made me happy and I come back it from time to time. This is regarding the scene in Tron Legacy when one of the characters stops another from hacking. If you'd like to see the scene for context here it is. The time code is when the particular portion is. https://youtu.be/Qeh3E67brBs&t=231

In addition to visual effects, I was asked to record myself using a unix terminal doing technologically feasible things. I took extra care in babysitting the elements through to final composite to ensure that the content would not be artistically altered beyond that feasibility. I take representing digital culture in film very seriously in lieu of having grown up in a world of very badly researched user interface greeble. I cringed during the part in Hackers (1995) when a screen saver with extruded "equations" is used to signify that the hacker has reached some sort of neural flow or ambiguous destination. I cringed for Swordfish and Jurassic Park as well. I cheered when Trinity in The Matrix used nmap and ssh (and so did you). Then I cringed again when I saw that inevitably, Hollywood had decided that nmap was the thing to use for all its hacker scenes (see Bourne Ultimatum, Die Hard 4, Girl with Dragon Tattoo, The Listening, 13: Game of Death, Battle Royale, Broken Saints, and on and on). In Tron, the hacker was not supposed to be snooping around on a network; he was supposed to kill a process. So we went with posix kill and also had him pipe ps into grep. I also ended up using emacs eshell to make the terminal more l33t. The team was delighted to see my emacs performance -- splitting the editor into nested panes and running different modes. I was tickled that I got emacs into a block buster movie. I actually do use emacs irl, and although I do not subscribe to alt.religion.emacs, I think that's all incredibly relevant to the world of Tron.

  • Ländliche Regionen im Bundesland Sachsen-Anhalt im Osten Deutschlands sind nicht nur von Überalterung und Urbanisierung betroffen, sondern auch von einem Mangel an jungen Frauen.
  • Laut der Soziologin Katja Salomo führt das zu einem Gefühl des Abgehängt-Seins und unter anderem zu großem Zuspruch für die AfD.
  • Betroffenen Kommunen empfiehlt die Wissenschaftlerin, gegen den Trend zu investieren.

Die Abstiegsängste führten auch dazu, dass es Menschen schwerer falle, neue Menschen in ihre Gruppe hineinzulassen, sagt Dr. Katja Salomo vom Wissenschaftszentrum für Sozialforschung in Berlin.

"[Die Menschen] haben das Gefühl, der Kuchen ist schon klein, wie sollen wir ihn noch teilen?"

Oft, so Salomo, sei in den betroffenen Regionen auch die AfD besonders erfolgreich. Zum einen, weil Männer im Schnitt konservativer wählten als Frauen und sie in den ländlichen Regionen in Ostdeutschland in der Überzahl seien. Wobei Salomo anmerkt: "Es sind nicht die Alten, die AfD wählen – sondern es sind die jungen Männer in den Gebieten mit hoher Überalterung." Die AfD, sagt Salomo, sei allerdings auch aus einem anderen Grund in den betroffenen Regionen besonders erfolgreich: "Die Partei sucht sich diese Regionen ganz bewusst aus."

Da, wo die Menschen das Gefühl hätten, abgehängt zu sein – da sei die AfD besonders präsent, oft als einzige Partei.

 
 

It just crossed my mind that some people may not know it. It's a great resource (imho). Other platforms have fake reviews or ratings because of rea$ons ;) this one, so far, seems exempt of such biases (thankfully!)

Derek Sherrell shows a low cost, open source house that he built in 90 days. He is giving away the plans for free for anyone who wants to build their own.

Open source is a wonderful concept that should be applied to everything, not just software.
