Same. It looks like the print you see in old books. Very pleasing to the eye. The lower case 'm' sticks out to me though, the second hump is raised a little too high.

I've created something in a similar fashion. I have a dedicated machine for writing with ArchLinux, nvim+plugins, zk and kiwix. Not much else to it really. I've been thinking about pulling the wireless card out of it, but so far internet discipline hasn't been a huge issue, the main thing is that I know when I'm using that machine it's time to work.

Crimes committed on or for social media (whether for likes or just by negligence, ie, distracted by your app while driving) should automatically get an additional sentence. Same idea as hate crimes, just for social media.

I'd say GNOME and the community were both at fault. GNOME 3 was awful when it rolled out and the devs didn't really listen to the community at all (they didn't have to, but they probably should have taken more feedback). The community at the time was also absolutely toxic and I can't blame GNOME for tuning it all out.

GNOME is much better these days than it was, but I feel like Linux did pay a price for the disruption -- between GNOME, Unity and all that mess, there was ~10 years where all the desktops that a new user was likely to encounter were just half baked solutions for a problem that most people couldn't entirely agree on.

Same story here. My wife is not tech savvy at all but she likes Linux because it mostly just gets out of her way and the desktop doesn't really change drastically between updates. I haven't had to help her do anything on it in over a decade except get an old PC game up with Wine.

He's the Dan Brown of sci-fi.

If you're in America, take a look at the strobe on top of school busses. I'm not sure if they still have them (they used to). It would flash at a specific frequency and trip a photovoltaic sensor connected to the traffic light, which would turn it green so the kids aren't late for class. If you had a bright enough strobe which flashed at the same frequency...you get the idea.

AI-assisted closures? I'm struggling to imagine a use case. Surely this is humor...

I'd argue we've had more progress towards fusion than AGI.

Reminds me of the Global Consciousness Project:

You do if you plan your estate. It's not just for assets, it's stuff like an advanced health directive (ie, what do you want if you're in a coma for a year?), and power of attorney (who calls the shots while you're incapacitated?). You want this stuff even if you're married -- perhaps especially if you're married, it could save your spouse a lot of trouble during a very difficult time. If you ever make a big transaction, or sign something that deals with $100,000 or more, you want an attorney to look it over first.

You don't need to pay them every month...just have them do estate documents and touch base with them once or twice a year so they remember who you are. You'll get their cell number.

Important to call your attorney instead of family because you might only get N number of calls before the jail cuts you off, even if nobody answers. Your family might be asleep or have lost their phone or whatever, but if you call your attorney they'll make sure to get ahold of somebody that can bail you out. (IIRC your attorney cannot bail you out themselves)

Speaking from personal experience, you should have the phone numbers of your attorney and your family members tattooed to the backs of your eyelids. And keep bail money under the insoles of your shoes. Cops never look there.

Laugh it up, but it just might happen to you one day.

I believe there's a modern (GM?) truck out there that has a belt rated for something like 250K miles...but when you have to replace it, the entire engine needs to be removed.

If you don't want to take the risk destroying or spray painting the lense or solar panels of these devices, a picket sign installed right in front of it works pretty well while probably not getting you sent to jail. You may even be able to get away with ziptying a trashbag over it without too much fuss.
