“mortality slippage” coincides with Sars2 circulating within our population so I bet it has a lot to do with it
twilo··on Bypassing Google's big anti-adblock update
Yes but like the post above says MS didn’t start to “monetize” their users until the 2000s and it was mainly because Google set up that beautiful business model… on top of Microsoft’s platform (Windows) which makes the whole thing really funny

Best alt other than perch? For whatever reason I can’t get it to show up in the share/send menu on iOS and doesn’t seem to have a browser extension.

How do you send articles to it?

twilo··on MacBook Air M4
Non of these are passively cooled...
twilo··on MacBook Air M4
MBA is passively cooled. One of it's biggest advantages...
twilo··on MacBook Air M4
Solid, but still I can't find it in a laptop with passive cooling like the macbook air line here, which is a huge plus in a laptop imo
twilo··on BMW Group Product Catalog–Historic Models
downhill since the early 2000s
twilo··on Lawrence of Arabia, Paul Atreides, and the roots of Frank Herbert's Dune (2021)
Thanks for that. Some of Dune books read more like political science really...extraordinary body of work

That’s what a “scholar” is and Universities provided the perfect environment for that to thrive, which is no longer the case.

13.6 inch screen on the small air
twilo··on M4 Mac mini's efficiency
Apple's ARM chips have been incredibly effecient for a while now.

My m3 air draws around 3W on avarage and that's with a 14 inch screen running at around 40% brightness.. impressive stuff. Passive cooling too!

Great news. The pro is kinda of heavy for my liking so the Air is the way to go

Is the Firefox one better than the one Edge has? I've been using that for a while and it seems quite good overall.
twilo··on Google commits to buying power generated by nuclear-energy startup Kairos Power
Good.
twilo··on On the Nature of Time
I believe it's simply a unit of measurement we use to understand the movement or rhythm on which the universe operates, so it could be termed the "progress of computation" if that makes more sense but it's all in the same effort.
twilo··on Is the attack helicopter dead?
What does "full scale invasion" mean exactly?
