I don't care about Mozilla anymore and I was a passionate Firefox user back in 2004. The rest of the world just standardized on Chromium. The vast majority of the remaining Firefox users are just using it for ublock origin which is not a sustainable business model.
Berlin had a mix of modern scanners and old scanners last time I flew. I had one flight where they were using the modern scanners. And then a few weeks later I used a different security gate and I still had to remove everything from the bag. If you fly from there, the security at the far end of the terminal has the new machines and is usually also the fastest because people generally use the first security gate they see. Good tip if you are in a hurry. The last few times I was through in a few minutes.
At some airports, you can now check your own bag using a machine that weighs it and prints a sticker. Then you drop it on a belt yourself and you walk through security scanners; all without having to talk to anyone. And finally you board using your phone. Lots of automated checks. I've boarded a few times now without anyone bothering to look at an id now. It seems that with self check in the id check at the gate disappeared. And inside the Schengen zone, nobody checks ids at security either.
Not when installed properly, i.e. on a level, compacted base. Where I live, in the Netherlands, a great portion of streets, driveways, sidewalks, bikepaths are from klinkers, or bricks. Very rarely do you see any indentations in them (mostly when there was some roadwork and a part of them removed and then reinstalled. The whole reinstalled section sinks a bit, probably because there workers were not careful and did not compact the substrate to the same degree).
Some of these klinker roads see heavy traffic and they're perfectly fine. It's also nice to see the automated machines they have for laying them.
A silent confrontation is unfolding behind palace walls and diplomatic smiles — a struggle that could redraw the balance of power from Washington to Riyadh. As the United States recalibrates its strategy on Iran, a deeper game emerges: pressure, succession, and the quiet resurrection of a prince once written off.
This is not just geopolitics.
This is a battle of leverage, loyalty, and legacy.
first time hearing using them in soup, anyway there are none left, if I am not in the mood for sweet, I will just put on them some Chinese spicy sauce :-)
It is still GPL, it is still free software, the source code is there. Only the Windows and macOS binaries are behind a paywall, but you can build yourself the binaries, or use it on Linux. RedHat does this and is "an example of free software monetization", Strawberry does it "and it should no longer be called free software".
As far as I know, it's not. You're now specifically told to not take liquid out of your luggage.
At least that was the situation when I flew out of London Gatwick last time - they had people going up and down before the scanners admonishing people to leave everything in their bags to avoid delay.
Start with classic conditioning that’s implemented in every large social media platform and go from there.
Or go in reverse, look at research into correlation between mental health issues and social media use and extrapolate contributing factors, from those extract the features
Should give a starting point for nailing down the definition.
I'm surprised the author didn't list KDE's Elisa: https://apps.kde.org/elisa/ Especially since they referenced KDE when they voiced their wish for Strawberry to be more modernized to match the appearance of KDE's Plasma desktop.
I haven't used it for a while (I generally don't listen to music outside of my drive to work these days), but I remember it being a pleasant replacement for MusicBee when I first switched over to a Linux distro full-time, coming from Windows. The Elisa UI is nice too imo, though it's more of a "native UI" look compared to some of the others in the list, though which style is nicer is up to personal preference.
It may also be a plus to some that it is not using Electron , and uses Qt instead (Well, apparently it uses QML, so still kind-of using ECMAScript/Javascript. But only for the user interface, and not the main business logic.)
People say this, and maybe it is true. But do you live in the same Britain as me? The majority of parents and older people want this. They are ignorant of how it all works and want the government to "do something". They support stuff like this.
It doesn't actually matter how flawed it is. All that matters to the government is votes. Always. Governments exist to buy votes, otherwise they're not governments. Any time you see a government action, you can be very sure they think it will buy them votes.
> MacOS however truly takes the cake. An OS that’s great for creative softwate, working with images, video, audio and so on
Funny since there was quite a thread here yesterday or the day before about Mac users regretting the dumbification of their software, using aperture as a striking example.
Don't read me wrong, I'm not saying that MacOS doesn't have great software, I just no longer trust Apple to pander to their users. A stable, open and progressive OS like Linux+KDE with "specialty" software on top seems like the most productive combo, I hope more software editors will consider that.
For stuff like TFA is describing, chatgpt is (functionally) a shared document editor. The author prompts to start a document, then makes some edits, prompts for more changes, makes more edits, etc.
The documents resulting from that process are the work they're talking about being lost. Some might be entirely AI-generated, others might be mostly human edits, but either way each one was the final state of stone thing the author wanted (a grant application or whatever).
Of course there would also be chat logs ("now make a change to paragraph three" etc) but TFA probably isn't taking about those when it says work was lost.
My perception is that drink driving is now pretty rare in the UK.
The biggest dangers I see regularly on the road is simple aggressive driving. Overtaking too much, tailgating, multiple lane changes in one go (on motorways), not driving slower in bad conditions.....
I think the problem nowadays is that there are so many channels and so much space to fill. TV runs 24/7 now on hundreds of channels. In many cases, it isn't worth the while of a small channel to make an expensive programme as they would lose money.
Sometimes, the "wrong" programme is the hit. I know the History Channel started off with serious documentaries (some of them excellent quality) which not enough people watched. They then tried Nazis and Ancient Egypt, but it seems to be "Ancient Aliens" which is their biggest hit. Its version of history is questionable, to say the least.
He was there to create chaos in order to interfere with law enforcement. I don't think anyone denies this. And it was very bad that he had a gun when the inevitable confrontation occurred. This is likely why it's illegal to carry a firearm when interfering with or obstructing law enforcement operations.
> Invest your money (e.g. world passive mutual fund, or VT ETF).
i despise stock markets, investments etc., so i just kind of have accepted that i'll probably never grow my money passively. from time to time i stumble across advice like yours, talking about ETFs, and feel a bit left out again.
money just sits in my bank account with close to 0% interest. i know that ETFs would slowly generate more money, but i also know that my money would then be invested in a ton of companies i absolutely don't want to be a part of, even when considering that my sums would be a drop in an ocean.
None the less, this is still effectively an entrance checkpoint to a 'secure area' aka the large airport you're flying to, as you've now already gone through security.
The UK buys its nukes from the US, so it's not really independent. (As I recall, the UK doesn't even have free choice on where those nukes are targeted).
From experience, I can assure you LibreOffice is no real equivalent to Office.
I can guarantee you that you will have people asking you about stuff that Office does just fine but isn't really possible in LibreOffice or is a major hassle.
I have been the one touting alternatives since I was very young and foolish (in particular advocating for the free Apple suite), but I have run into enough problems I couldn't solve that I don't bother anymore.
Microsoft is winning with Office because everyone else is more incompetent than them; it's simple as that.
If someone could come up with a true, cheaper competitor, everybody would switch, regardless of the file format arguments.
In fact, the generalized use of Google Suite for the simple stuff shows that it is the case. When people insist on Office, they generally have a good reason, and you should trust them.
