A little while ago I met someone whose job is to worry about international affairs and they were worried about operating systems.
After that I started worrying about every end user device in Ukraine shutting down until peace was negotiated.
In Finland there is a party whose social feed was full of line items from the national budget they thought worth eliminating.
It’s really the only time when I’ve seen someone really take a look at the budget and try to figure out how to save from the non-essentials instead of arguing about how much to spend on eg. Hospitals vs defence.
Now I want to play it again.
As I understand accounting, you really don’t need to do stuff like this to write off your assets.
I’m not saying there isn’t a cynical corporate reason for doing this but I doubt this is it.
20k is not a lot for betraying your country.
I may have heard.
What’s with the title?! Here’s my alternative: China’s EV boom makes a dent in fossil fuel consumption.
They did not breach national airspace.
No, it’s still lacking a few features like CMYK color spaces. The UX issues are those of polish: the feature works if you know exactly how to use it, but a lot of times the workflows are neither intuitive for novices or efficient for proficient users. The team clearly has accepted this too.
As a 10+ year GIMP user, yes it’s that bad.
I still use it because it’s the only relatively full featured photo editor that works on all my platforms, but… Yea.
I mean, killing someone isn’t going to bring their money back. Putin has his boyars thrown out of windows to send a message, that’s why it’s obvious.
I don’t get it, isn’t this a pretty normal way of using media queries. Granted you’re more likely to see the widths defined in px.
On sync at least if you open tall images from the post it will be readable.
Amazing. I’m not OP and have no use for this info, but it was fun to learn it still.
Well, he did move to live on a remote island (no power, no other people, no access for 5 months out of the year without a helicopter) at age 72. Lived there for several years. Also grew much of his own food for a almost 20 years.
I can actually imagine my grandpa doing this. I wouldn’t call him a computer wizard by any means, but he has surprised me before. He will just go to the library, and have the librarians find printed computer magazines which would deal with various connectors, learn about HDMI and composite. Then proceed to find another magazine which has reviews of adapters and take a bus to the big electronics shop to ask about adapters and have them place the order for one.
He actually did this when he needed to digitize some tapes. Granted, he ended up with a firewire-connected external sound card and a tape deck from a hi-fi store connected to Audacity, when all he needed was my old walkman, a 3.5mm cable and Windows Recorder, but hey, it got the job done.
He used to be a researcher and he somehow sees these things just as requiring time to find the right source of information… And time he has.
I could imagine someone’s grandma being the same.
They would already know to a very high degree, because the device associates with a specific cell tower, and the cell size is quite small for 5g networks, especially in cities. I don’t see why they would need a more accurate info.
I have been wondering why my maintainer doesn’t remind people to donate more often. I set up a small recurring donation, so I don’t have to remember, but I think it’d be okay to regularly remind people.
Also look into donating to your instance maintainer. They literally pay for the server costs, so it’s fair.
Hey, I had been searching for a reasonably priced NC hosting for a while. I even considered a VPS from Hetzner but somehow didn’t find this. Thanks for pointing it out.
