Emerald damselfly, or migrant spreadwing. Nice pic.

Kids these days not playing enough Lunar Lander

To me this perspective seems to reach the exact opposite conclusion than it should given its premises.

Ask why. Then probably work on subversion… because it is seriously doubtful they’ve come back for any good reason.

AppStream makes machine-readable software metadata easily accessible. It is a foundational block for modern Linux software centers, offering a seamless way to retrieve information about available software, no matter the repository it is contained in. It can provide data about available applications as well as available firmware, drivers, fonts and other components. This project it part of freedesktop.org.

That’s great that these MPs want to educate themselves. They could learn a lot. By “compel” I’m sure they mean something like “inspire” these people to come and share their experience and research with them in a respectful philosophical exchange. And by “defend” they are probably thinking of the clever Socratic traditions of inquiry.

Here is the study, “Assessment of Stoichiometric Autocatalysis across Element Groups”, linked in the last paragraph of the article for your enjoyment: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.3c07041

But, yes, nearly all linux software will run on any distro. And even a fair amount of windows software will run on any of them with WINE (or VirtualBox if desperate). Occasionally commercial software will get packaged in an “installer” format a particular distro doesn’t know how to install. A fairly rare situation, for which there are almost always work-arounds. You can cross that bridge if you ever encounter it.

What features are locked? I’ve only ever used the f-droid version, and haven’t noticed anything blocked. But I don’t use it much (unfortunately).

Interesting perspective. I had not considered the aesthetic angle.

Friend’s grandfather used to say…

The hurrier I go the behinder I get.

I was on digg as well as reddit. I always liked reddit a lot better and was always baffled as to why digg was so much more popular. Reddit always felt more diverse (in topics) and organic (user driven) to me. I guess others had a different view.

Sadly, no one no one seems to remember kuro5hin. Barely even me. It had its moments though.

The title of this article is deplorably sensationalistic, but the article itself isn’t bad. I guess they couldn’t fit this into the title:

It requires a written application and assessments from two independent medical practitioners, including at least one specialized in their condition if the applicant is not near their natural death.

The article also notes:

Even after the change in the legislation [to allow non-foreseeable death applications], about 98% of the assisted deaths in 2021 were people deemed near their natural death, according to Health Canada data.

Probably the easiest way to avoid it is to simply rename it to something less scary sounding. Maybe something like Alive Enhanced Rich Content Internet Theory for Human People! See, not a problem now.

Also maybe we should reread Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. It has a storyline about a guy who finds out he is the only actual real person on earth. Everyone else are robots. And he wants to know why.
