At least you can force desktop mode on most sites. No mobiles apps, desktop mode on phone. Usually.

I concur. The problem with Texas is that regulators and legislators are in the pockets of said natural gas companies. So it’s very likely to occur in the places that don’t need it before it occurs in Texas. Get on it, Vermont! ;)

I admire your optimism and I hope you’re correct. At least with the little “city commuters” it probably even makes sense. But lithium battery tech also continues to improve – so catching up with 2021 is great, but the goalposts keep moving.

There will be an absolute limit coming from physics and chemistry, and lithium is a smaller, lighter ion. In the theoretical limits, it will absolutely be the winner.

But from a practical perspective, if Na-ion becomes light enough and (more importantly) cheap enough, it will probably win the economic game in the longer term.

Plus we can make Na-ion batteries in-situ elsewhere in the solar system without having to first finding concentrations of lithium – so high tech space industry stuff will likely more towards Na-ion, which will fund some development.

Grid storage only. But still cool

Ironically, the saving grace here might be Florida and Disney hating each other so much. Maybe… Silver linings and such.

I’m actually surprised it has taken this long.

What surprises me even more is that organized crime hasn’t gotten on board much (yet). Like, screw drive by shootings – drone dropped grenades on rival gangs and such.

Or that drones haven’t been used for “school shooting” type mass casualty attacks.

Or that foreign countries haven’t snuck in with a sea can full of drones which fan out and attack infrastructure.

Imagine a cruise missile as a drone carrier that just scatters anti-personnel drones along a flight path, each just finding a person indiscriminately.

If there’s anything that Ukraine is teaching us, it’s that we don’t have countermeasures (yet). The autonomous versions are even scarier.

As a bandcamp flac lover, I concur. I’ve spent so much supporting small artists it’s actually insane. I make two copies after I download an album: one to giant memory stick which I can plug into entertainment systems and such, one to the microsd in my phone. I currently have 1TB microsd in my phone for this reason, but I can see it possibly running out one day :D

In conclusion, he wanted 12002 spears, ±1.

Love the KDE community. Was involved a a dozen years and learned so much from the experience. I recommend this to any rookie, amateur, or student programmer out there: get involved. Even if it’s just reporting bugs, you’ll learn so much about so much.

Not OP. I remember having to migrate to subversion… Do you think my credentials still work ;)

In conclusion: pizza hut was good in (insert decade when you were younger)

And has broken those systems in the past. But diversity in implementations across Linux systems likely means it doesn’t break all systems simultaneously.

Sounds like you liked it! I currently have a Samsung Note 8 and it’s getting long in the tooth. I’ll take a look :)

Can you recommend any specific model of Sony phone? I’m thinking it’ll be my next one. I have an older Sony Vaio that I loved, and it ran Linux like a charm. Need a new phone and will only buy one with a microSD slot so…

It’s probably a tiling window manager. ;)

Early computer aided art and programs I’ve written, dating back decades.

In the mid 1990s I used ImpulseTracker to create music. The music sucks. But losing the original source .IT files would be heartbreaking.

Likewise, my first programs, written as a child in MS DOS batch files circa 1991 – basic menu driven interfaces that facilitated launching my installed sharware… I don’t have the games the program points to anymore, but that isn’t the point ;)

Lithium as well, if I recall correctly. Most lithium is theorized to date to the big bang. There are no current pathways to create it, and only pathways that destroy it.

Most helium also dates to big bang, but some was created through fusion or alpha decay.

Brains are sexy

Just make it ridiculous. Like instructions to get an artifact that will resurrect you from a museum in France… Then if it goes off by accident, it is comedy.

Network interruption would cause it to run then. Or an API change. Dangerously causing it to actually run.
