Just realized my post could be read wrong.

I meant that the above would be forced onto candidates as they sign up for an election.

Move all control of all business into a fully independent trust, or something. Maybe even one controlled in a different country if you’re really paranoid.

Somebody’s gotta mod one with a companion cube shell. The memes won’t stop

Scalpers’ pit

Unless your models have weird drivers you absolutely can have multiple disc drives

Do you want to keep the original file size or reduce it?

It’s possible to compress with minimal quality loss by transcoding (since you can switch from the old inefficient DVD codec to a modern one). But just ripping the ISO image of the disc is the easiest thing you can do and it preserves the original perfectly, so if you have enough disc space you could start with that and maybe compress later if you start to run out of space

That works well if you’re OK with using default options, not very user friendly the second you want to tweak stuff.

OTOH that’s mostly a paper democrat

But I’ll take the win

[Windows subsystem] for [executable environment] is the naming scheme. The default is Win32, there’s one for POSIX (practically never used), and Linux runs in another.

Malicious compliance is when you follow a order or law knowing that it will backfire on those who issued it.

“Lawfare” is a comparable term but not quite it (basically legal harassment campaigns).

This affects the view of posts via the bluesky servers, but not via mirrors or other servers

And the use of content addressing means you can be sure it hasn’t been modified

Several Android manufacturers have their own settings in the OS for battery longevity (automatic schedule based smart charging, or charging limits)

Don’t think it’s native in Android. Charging limits need support in the charging controller chip, plus driver support in the OS.

I use my backup headphones when my Bluetooth headset has run out of battery

The funny thing is it’s easier to replace salespeople with AI than developers. They should be losing salespeople first!

They did use the stop vetoing resolutions button. Not much but it’s not nothing.

Sending their warships would mean Israel would try calling their bluff and force USA to commit an act of war to stop them, which would cause absolutely chaos in the region. They probably should start with sanctions though.

Biden’s biggest problem here is he’s so focused on backrooms negotiations, that he’s not using some of the options that could increase public pressure, and all other people see is old treaties continuing with very slow changes and seeing the continued actions of the other party who doesn’t really want to negotiate.
