If done correctly, it also forces devs to write smaller more maintainable packages.

Big if though. I’ve seen many a terrible containerized monolithic app.

Motorola released the Skip tag line around 2013, including a keychain battery that could charge your phone, and had Bluetooth and could use that service to locate whatever it was attached to.

…in 2013.

The whole sorting problem is a real-world case where AI and computer vision could be used right now. Teach the machine to tell the items apart using multiple wavelengths of light. Humans would still be needed for the more complicated sorting, but items could be pre-sorted before getting to the humans.

Immediate loss of all Federal funding. Welfare states like Louisiana will feel the pinch quickly.

Web sites like that are so annoying, they couldn’t even be bothered to find an image or video of LineageOS running on a Switch?

If the orange man wins, America is over and none of your concerns will matter as we slip into a fascist dystopia. That is an existential threat we have to deal with right now, and it can actually be prevented.

Tetraethyl lead will do that to brain cells.

PDF X-Change editor, WunderShare PDFElement (although their license is a bit annoying), and other can easily replace Adobe for editing PDFs. Probably are some open source options as well.

SumatraPDF for viewing. As others had mentioned, Preview.app on Mac has always been pretty robust.

But we still have lawns, which is a significant chunk of water use.

FWIW, lawns aren’t the problem. Take Colorado for example. 97% of the portion of Colorado River water (the rest goes to downstream states like Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Wyoming, and also to Mexico) that Colorado gets to use is agriculture.

Of the remaining 3% that isn’t used for inefficient ag, that whole 3% includes industrial, residential, businesses.

Of the subset of that 3% that covers residential, that subset includes some percentage of lawn water use (your references mentioned 50% to 70%) for the months that irrigation is turned on (in Colorado, late May to mid October.)

Lawns are very far down the scale of concern, but media and industry like to make the problem about the individual instead of admitting responsibility for their inefficient and wasteful processes.

Yes, lawns in desert environments don’t make any sense, but there are entire industries to fry before it becomes necessary to be concerned with that with any amount of alarm. Wet land around homes also helps mitigate wildfire spread, although hopefully plant type, object placement, and technology help mitigate that in the future as xeriscaping and zeroscaping become more common. It also helps slow dirt erosion.

The war genocide in Gaza has wiped out entire Palestinian families.

Every time, even NPR. Clickbait can suck it.

Thanks for saving the click.

low unemployment

Unemployment is a flawed 6-month rolling window metric that is ostensibly meaningless.

Unrelated to the content and scary situation itself, just a general media commentary, why is that WaPo article using a tiny AM radio quality image? It seems many online media companies still live in the age of paper publishing. Now, an image like that converted to CMYK @ 170dpi and run through a Panther would end up looking passable on newsprint, even blown up a bit.

It’s the Internet future, publish better quality photos. Yet the media wonders why they died. So many thousands of cuts like this.

Yeah, didn’t mean to come across as an apologist. Call a shit spade a shit spade. Just annoyed with the media riding the name trolley for ad clicks.

It wasn’t just retraining, using an old certified airframe let’s them skip the airframe certification process. There are similarly some helicopter companies that do similar and make emergency save your life vehicle fireball death traps rather than certify a new design. It is like airframe design died in the 1960s to save money.

It is annoying how the media keeps riding the Boeing name for the clicks. Yes, Boeing fucked up, they aren’t the only one in aerospace fucking up.

FWIW the main meds can be started/stopped at will. They aren’t like the drugs that mess directly with neurotransmitter chemical reactions directly.

This and many others are reasons a switch to Linux has been so joyful. No more Windows trying to guilt me, nag me, push me, trick me, abuse me to use shit the way they want. It’s so much more…quiet.

They don’t even need to push an update, they just need to send a kill command from their activation servers.
