I, too, enjoy CocaCola™ for its natural flavors and smooth mouthfeel...

Of course you would want to procure products that work for all of your employees. The idea that you could just cut off certain elements of a foreign government was really shortsighted.

Even Ontarians don't speak kindly about wine from Ontario lol

Maybe I would rather be treated by such a doctor with time on their hands than a burned out brilliant doctor?

150% gang here. Actually 200% on my laptop but the resolution of that display is just ridiculous.

Fossil fuel power plants are unfortunately still profitable for their owners (billionaires...). The cost of building them has mostly been written off a long time ago. None of this is about what is good for America in the long run...

Yup. Ubuntu promises the best of both worlds, and in my experience the end result is noticeably worse than Debian. You notice when things are deliberate and tested versus cobbled together and made to work.

I suspect there are plenty of people out there who habitually buy the most expensive of what Apple has to offer in any category. I guess Apple was leaving money on the table by not having anything in this price range in the first place.

Interesting team, what does Bella bring to the table?

Yes, I have carefully composed a twenty page report, mostly quantitative, and then I condensed it into this short comment.

Users perceiving the products as largely interchangeable and quickly DDoS'ing the other providers when one is down. So much for the possibility of a moat.

> pay a maximum $16.68 billion

Why "a maximum". Do can we expect that in practice it will be much less?

"It tested well with the focus group..."

I much prefer Claude, but this move may actually get me to pay for a subscription again.

I remember Google maps working well for walking around in Europe. Ever since I've moved to America, not so much. Go figure...

Upsetting how we are reaching these lows while the administration is accusing everyone else of wasting taxpayer money except for themselves. At least under previous administrations you would get something for your money, like science funding and healthcare for the needy, not just bombing runs and posturing.

Nope, read a couple stories about climate credits over the years, and this is a problem. The credits are permanent, even if the new grown forest burns down.

Time estimate is way off for the Smastad loft bed, that thing was such a pain.

I don't know if popular is quite the right word. It certainly is widely used though...

Zotero obviously stores data in an SQL db. It's not quite a text file, but it's been around forever, and it's easy to parse directly, too.

That's been a thing for a long time. "Hitzefrei".

I know it's a bit of a meme but I'm on Debian Stable and I am running the backport kernel, which is on version 6.19. So only one minor version away from the current 7.0.

I wish more people would consider Debian for their devices. It is a very stable system, which I appreciate, and, unlike Ubuntu, it was really an "it just works" experience, without any of the friction points that smaller distros have. I installed Debian Trixie on a very recent device (granted, all AMD for compatibility) when Trixie was still the Testing version, and all the necessary drivers were present.

Now if only I could figure out how to build packages and contribute back to Debian... Also if only AMD could get their NPU support for Linux figured out...

And discovered check means that it is not sufficient to check the position of the piece you have moved, you also need to check the position of other pieces to see whether there is a new check.

How so?

That would also explain why UAE is oddly in favor of a war in their region.

Don't know about customizability on MacOS but I've always been very accustomed to animations and recently I just turned them off on Android and Linux and I... Don't miss anything. Turned out they don't add anything other than an initial wow factor.

IIRC there is actually a practice of nullifying laws that cannot be enforced (Vollzugsdefizit). One example I remember is that the enforcement of minor drug possession charges was declared unconstitutional because that law was only selectively enforced.

It is already published at Geophysical Research Letters, a highly (if not the most) reputable source in the area. But that journal is behind a paywall: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/202...
