Football became popular because anybody with a TV set could watch the millionaires struggling in stadia funded with public taxes in a streaming funded with public taxes

Now that they have a market of addicted followers, they’ve moved to a closed streaming system and they’re fighting against their former customers

investing in automation and efficiency will help them save hundreds of dollars in warehouse worker's wages in the long run

I was looking forward to using a NETGATE 1100 PFSENSE+ SECURITY GATEWAY. It’s full of Marvell SoC.

I guess I can spare myself the money

Progress is more consistent if you keep your flashcards in the target language, according to the book “Fluent forever”.

The other day, fidgeting with the mobile phone, I set the lock screen’s watch to eastern numerals, it worked wonders. Not for pronunciation, nor naming them. For that, your app is great

People should stop using the standard versions of their languages and speak using the low class variants in order to protect their privacy until the next LLM version

> Encouraging a healthy lifestyle could reduce early-onset cancer disease burden

Reducing the intake of PFAS on your kitchenware, microplastics in your water, 6PPD-quinona from your children's playground and car tires, etc.

Isn’t “John Smith” a real name? There’s even people who use it on a daily basis

Sorry for being obnoxious but I think it’s worse than madness, it’s cruelty.

The GUI makes you look for basic stuff every time, such as gas Lightning

>Operating systems such as Windows, OSX, and Linux -- inevitability -- contain much complexity.

Operating systems should be modular, allowing the user to reduce as much bloating complexity as possible and needed.

I do not need unstoppable “gamed” and “studentd” services on my computer. The sealed system implemented by Apple has actually meant the overthrow of the root user by the corporation. Now I can’t reduce complexity, bloatware.

The only solution seems to be praying that BSD or Linux become useable one day

I am not afraid of the decadence they’ve made of the settings panel because I use Alfred.

I haven’t yet installed Ventura. I had to downgrade from Monterey because the cmd-L keyboard shortcut had stopped working on Contacs.app

Literally all ideas about carbon capture make sense when you think about the main goal of all urgent projects: draining public money from the taxpayers and storing it into offshore accounts

could Apple give you a refund?

It would be great if I could see the music script instead of some bubbles

You need to be a little bit more lenient when comparing different languages. As far as I know, “cat” shared the same build pattern in many languages: guttural-a-dental

Cat - gato - katze - qOt

This, like the case of shai/tea implies that the animal expanded rather late and quickly from the same region (Asia?)

Mobile phone, giraffe, etc. sound and are written also similar in all Arabic and Latin scripts.

You can download the translations from the HTML source of any Wikipedia article and put them on a spreadsheet, if that’s what you’re into

The idea of recycling works by making the victims feel guilty of their suffering (“the polle pollution because we don’t recycle enough”) so people don’t organise and the entrepreneurs can continue plasticising the planet’s organisms

Microsoft knows that windows users will eventually cave in to some of those second option subscription reminders.

Only free. I thought it was free and open source.

I still love it, though

I have been using Standard Notes since the lockdown. Multi-platform, Self-hostable FOSS or freemium, E2EE. Subscription prices have skyrocketed.

It emails you a back up from time to time.

I use it less and less because the interface is not comfortable after a given point and of notes. I wish I had heard of obsidian before.

So the problem is not Google maps but the other proprietary app. Thanks for the heads up

What I dislike of plus.codes is that they have replaced GPS coordinates on google maps. GPS coordinates are multiplatform where only Google maps seems to be able to decode those fancy codes

I used to live in a European city where many streets of a given neighbourhood belonged to the same lexical field. If somebody lived in "Falcon" street, you could go to their neighbourhood without knowing the exact street. There were neighbourhoods about birds, doctors, journalists, and IDK what else. I do not know why people do not do that more often.

Roads that have consecutive numbers are also useful.

These w3w words can be useful for logistics but they seem to be useless for human beings.

I can’t get to launch obsidian on arch-sway without the ozone flags :/

near a river and a forest with a group of tightly connected people who can work the field, I imagine

One billion death by the end of the century. The study does not hint to a reduction in world population, thought.

>as a rough rule of thumb, burning roughly 1000 tons of fossil carbon (creating 3700 tons of CO2) causes one future premature death. Measuring carbon emissions in human lives not only makes the numbers easier to understand for nonexperts but also clarifies energy policy priorities: clearly, allowing a policy to cause manslaughter is intuitively unacceptable. The high death tolls that can be attributed to current carbon emissions and that follow from this analysis have immediate and direct energy policy implications.

Maybe, he was just trying to answer a question

Countries worldwide are addicted to fossil fuels because you need to burn fuel if you want to achieve almost anything. As Jean-Marc Jancovici puts it, the oil consumption of a country is its GDP. There’s a lot of energy in an oil drop. It’s not easy to move a country without burning fossil fuels. You commute to work by car or bus? You probably burn fossil fuels. Your food is grown using tractors which plant seeds which were delivered using trucks.

You might replace those with energy but what about heavy machinery? We should just stop burning fossil fuels at all.

The solution to the climate apocalypse depends on overcoming capitalism. Give food and shelter to all the unemployed due to the GDP collapse.

We should have never reached such a level of addiction to a substance which destroys our environment. We have known it since the 19th century yet here we are, witnessing the apocalypse that the Cassandræ have forecasted.

There are more sustainable economic systems like the one in North Korea, etc. but look which economic and political systems get destroyed when the revenue rate of the Fossil fuels corporations is at stake.

We are bound for a termination shock or whatever it’s called because that’s in the interest of the big capital of the Fossil Fuels and its military branch

I was convinced by Alfie Kohn’s “Unconditional Parenting” and “Punished by Rewards”.

Praise sometimes hides lack of real interest so I give feedback
