I've been trying out various FOSS operating systems for the Pinephone lately. Mobian seems to be in a pretty usable state right now. I really think FOSS is the only way forward. Despite their marketing efforts, Microsoft is still the awful evil company its always been.

It depends on the vitamin. 1 microgram of vitamin D is 40 IU.

>If you are a U.S. citizen or a resident alien of the United States and you live abroad, you are taxed on your worldwide income. However, you may qualify to exclude your foreign earnings from income up to an amount that is adjusted annually for inflation ($103,900 for 2018, $105,900 for 2019, and $107,600 for 2020). In addition, you can exclude or deduct certain foreign housing amounts.

Do you have a source for that? I find it very hard to believe, since the United States has by far the largest immigrant population in the world at 50,661,149.

You have to file your taxes every year, but he shouldn't have to pay anything unless he makes over about $100,000 per year.

Always looks at the interest rates. Credit card debt can go over 20% APR sometimes and should be strictly avoided. A mortgage is more like 3% and can work in your favor since its better to pay into that than rent. I would tolerate auto loans as well.

I haven't seen any in Finland at least.

>seem to be preparing to become the people who would take others' food and supplies by force in the event of a real nuclear war level catastrophe

Or simply preparing to defend against those sorts of people.

>a) water purification equipment with supplies/filter changes good for 6+ months of continuous use

It's easy enough to make a particulate filter yourself out of sand and charcoal. Then just boil the water to kill any microbes

Of course its possible. It's just a slightly higher bar to meet, which filters out a lot of people who might enjoy prepping for hobbyist reasons.

The one thing I miss the most about living in America is the existence of warehouse stores like Costco and Sam's Club. It's a lot harder to prep in Europe since you're not getting any bulk discount. Even if someone gets the urge, the logistics just aren't there.

Most people installing these games don't even know what a rootkit is.

They already block you from disabling location services if you want to use bluetooth.

>As it stands today, reCAPTCHA costs consumers both privacy and time

Also it forces users to perform unpaid labor for Google.

Norway is an extreme outlier due to their state controlled oil fund. You'd be better comparing them to Saudi Arabia than Finland. (Finland has no petroleum resources)

This is all you need to see

Personally, I really enjoy the summers where it rarely goes above 20C/70F. The only real complaint is the amount of daylight in the winter. Look at the mean monthly sunshine hours in that chart.

Because ITER is not designed to be running for more than a few minutes at a time. Its successor, DEMO, will be designed for continuous power output.

VLC in playlist mode has been working great for me. To enable it, just go to View > Playlist.

It's already starting to happen in the EU.

>Last year the European Parliament voted to abolish the time shifts, but the member states of the European Union have yet to agree on how to implement the decision.

I'm in favor of a full global switch to TAI. UTC is another good option, but I don't really see the benefit of keeping up with leap seconds considering the complexity they add.

>In short, many parts of the document, including this one, assume guilt, and do not show any consideration for the accused. The potential for misuse and weaponization of such a code is of concern.

That seems to be what most people have been saying since day 1.

Funny, I gave up on dual booting after they released Proton.

Yes, it's not the same in the specific qualifier that I explicitly mentioned. Digital cash. Don't be dense.

Bitcoin is pretty much digital cash, with all the same advantages and disadvantages. Cash just can't be sent digitally.

The Gamecube predates that by a few months and also used commodity hardware.

You're making a lot of incorrect assumptions. Read the parent comment again. I clearly explained the problems.

Funny, looking at that screenshot filled me with nostalgia for a program I've never used.
