Medusa is apparently so ugly that looking at her turns you to stone. And she’s ugly because her hair is snakes.

But what if I like snakes? Can I feed the snek a cricket I caught earlier in the dungeon?

Windows 98 had god usability. The buttons and controls all had borders, so you could know where they are. In Windows 11, everything is flat, nothing has a border, so you can never know where the interactive area is.

Try to get as much as possible off Windows. You can transfer the remaining Windows-only programs to a virtual machine in snapshot mode, or if necessary, a real machine with a backed up image, that you can reimage regularly.

Not everyone can get off Windows. But get as much as you can. Isolate what’s left.

3 words, but my job is still bullshit.

Hell no. I want to be unable to use that emoji for at least a year, preferably a lifetime.

(The Unicode consortium betrayed us, and themselves, by putting emoji in Unicode.)

China’s carbon dioxide emissions are more than a third of the world’s total emissions. Their CO2 emissions are increasing and accelerating.

No matter how much they subsidize solar, unless they implement a carbon emission tax, the emissions will keep increasing.

Thanks, that looks a little better, but still missing things like sending keystrokes to non-active windows. (Also, I’m on Mate desktop on most my computers.)

I just need xdotool. ydotool is missing almost everything. I don’t need programs sandboxed from each other. I don’t need that multi-DPI stuff (200% scaling works fine in X). Wayland doesn’t provide any features I’m missing.

Yes. But it keeps going forever, and eventually some chaotic-evil person will kill choose to kill 2^43 people, which is a thousand times the world’s population.

I see loss, I downvote.

If any cops or cop apologists wanna disagree with this: show me a good cop who arrested an ICE. Because ICE is breaking the law, and as far as I can tell, nobody’s arresting them.

They used to use analog computers to solve differential equations, back when every transistor was expensive (relays and tubes even more so) and clock rates were measured in kilohertz. There’s no practical purpose for them now.

In cases of number theory, and RSA cryptography, you need even more precision. They combine multiple integers together to get 4096-bit precision.

If you’re asking about the 24-bit ADC, I think that’s usually high-end audio recording.

The maximum theoretical precision of an analog computer is limited by the charge of an electron, 10^-19 coulombs. A normal analog computer runs at a few milliamps, for a second max. So a max theoretical precision of 10^16, or 53 bits. This is the same as a double precision (64-bit) float. I believe 80-bit floats are standard in desktop computers.

In practice, just getting a good 24-bit ADC is expensive, and 12-bit or 16-bit ADCs are way more common. Analog computers aren’t solving anything that can’t be done faster by digitally simulating an analog computer.

The simplest explanation is that OP doesn’t have good opsec, and got a few tracking cookies after deleting cookies, before setting up their proxy/VPN. Then, on the VPN, the advertiser recognized their VPN IP address, and chose to exclude that from generating location data, deferring instead to the location indicated in their existing tracking cookies.

Privacy is hard. The system is rigged against privacy. You have to do everything perfectly, because one simple mistake could leak your IP address.

In the garden, there are two chickens.

It would be a more meaningful discussion if the government wasn’t controlled so much by large corporations and oligarchs.

Inkjet printers are good for furry artists who sell prints at conventions. Hmm… that’s actually so specific that it reinforces your point.

Everyone already had the choice to use this before. You can visit any site with a search box, and add that site as a search engine to Firefox.

This is forcing it down people’s throats.
