Why would somebody lie on the internet?

About 500MBit/s on Telegram Desktop. They currently have 10 million paying subscribers out of ~950 million users.

Oh I like that one. Yoink! Thanks.

It’s also quite wrong.

I have been running arm32 elf binaries and Xorg on my HTC M8 stock kernel with Android 4. That’s not a new thing. Libreoffice and Xfce ran pretty well on that thing.

It’s just quite a bit slower. Everything else other than messing with /sys and android processes works the same.

HDMI, mouse and keyboard and you have an office pc.

All good. Maybe my reading comprehension was off.

Umm, I’m pretty sure Heinlein meant it as a system that could work. The book is definitely not the parody the movie is.

While I don’t miss checking the index of my wall of Microsoft books (the light gray binders with the squishy plastic). At least those were (mostly¹) correct and ad free.

Then the future began and you got MSDN subscription on CD with sample code. Woohoo.

1. they included a somewhat 20 pages of erratas that you sooner or later managed to memorize or punch and put in the correct place.

My AUR helper trizen tells me, yes.

That I’d be OK with. Or just pocketing the cash and telling their own agents who’s bribing and how.

But this twat might be dumb enough to actually do some dumb shit in return.
Also 20k, are the Russians that broke? The dude so insignificant? Or this just the tip of the money pile?

Brilliant, thanks.

If your fact checker is caught stealing by Buzzfeed: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/13/business/media/snopes-plagiarism-David-Mikkelson.html

And considered unreliable by among others Harvard: https://misinforeview.hks.harvard.edu/article/fact-checking-fact-checkers-a-data-driven-approach/

You might want to double check. I didn’t. I just want to caution people about blindly trusting Snopes. So they might very well be right on this topic.

Easy, only relevant part: defined as being > 1

I got called to a 12 year old server with a failed HDD once. They said no problem we have a daily backup. Just put in a new drive and restore from tape.
The tape wouldn’t read. I took it out of the drive and noticed some brown specs and dust falling out. The tape was clear, like scotch tape. They backed up daily to the same tape for over 10 years without verification. The remnants of the magnetic layer was scattered inside the drive. That client became pretty sad pretty fast.

You’re right. I think I was confusing it with InDesign.

Illustrator was once more like FontForge + Inkscape. I haven’t used any recent versions though.

And/or Scribus. It can also import .ai files, sometimes even to something recognizable.

VM is even better. It prevents Windows updates from fucking up your real OS.

It’s a container streaming platform. So it can replace RDP, remoteapps, Citrix and potentially Hyperspace (if it runs in Wine). Plus it’s open source or can be paid for if you need support and hosting.

You get a free Ubuntu container to mess around for a few minutes, it’s rather snappy for a VNC backend.

And then they made a Linux native version but it worked only on Stadia.

Fuck Bungie.
