Programmer and sysadmin (DevOps?), wannabe polymath in tech, science and the mind. Neurodivergent, disabled, burned out, and close to throwing in the towel, but still liking ponies 🦄 and sometimes willing to discuss stuff.

What I’m wondering is, how is a Russia-controlled domain still working, if it’s been banned by Russia?

I have to come to the defense of orthonormativity. I know the allure of coming up with your own way of writing stuff, but a shared orthographic frame helps communication, while the opposite comes through as careless dumping of the effort to decode a message onto each and every one of the recipients.

For me it got fixed in 1.20.0 from May 8, 2024.

Fruit of the poisoned tree. Disney’s “until author’s death + 70 years” copyrights are BS, would be nice if nVidia and all the AI companies were to argue to change that.

2010 was already tainted by the iPhone walled garden.

When was that?

The official F-Droid app had an issue with not deleting downloads on systems that didn’t run it correctly in the background. That has been fixed some months ago.

Wait, what’s that with “oriental” and “Asian”?

There is an “Oriental market” shop where I live, close to the “Asian shop” and the “Chinese restaurant” in front of the other one with actually Chinese dishes (with a Sichuan native cook).

$2000/year per person, would be $167/year per person. It’s not $0, but sounds like a reasonable amount for anyone except the most marginalized groups

Medical procedures are indeed a problem, but my understanding is their price is artificially inflated due to intermediaries, so taking a harder approach to that, would partially solve the issue, and pave the way for further regulation.

M4A should be the goal, something most 1st World countries have already, but I also understand it would mean upending a lot of industries and their interrelationship in the US, so a step-by-step approach seems like a wise one.
