I agree with you that dark mode is a choice, one that I took many many years ago. My first assembler program was one that inverted the screen with a button press on my Atari ST. This so I could adjust for a dark or a light day. Now I'm

A nicer version of this map is embeded here [1] where you can compare two similar periods on the same map. It's more interesting to see the difference between the same period a year earlier than to compare winter to summer. Also have t

Yes, this actually happens in real life now and then too. As long as there is no special drivers license or education involved ofcourse. Nothing more mind numbing than to stand at the same machine year after year.

I expect you would feel very alone in the hard core book club. The socializing aspect with book clubs and any other hobby clubs are very high. Some people just looks around to find anything at all that helps them find someone to talk to, be

The common reason to buy a computer preinstalled with linux is to not pay the windows/ios tax. Not that the price would be different though.

Software does not rust but the board it sits on does. Not to mention we still haven't managed to create any longterm storage that does not loose data...

It's also about your monitor compared to the editors monitor. Those cheap displays that are set to look good in the store next to all the others will make you do things to photos that won't look good anywhere.

If you lower the resolution those auto-scanning services that does OCR on the documents will get problems converting the tex back to normal text. Which might or might not be the point of doing this in the first place... :-)

If you run Windows, it blocks a lot of stuff that isn't browser related. That's why ublock does not get it down to 0 percent.

But if you save up for your own safety net, you might get very high bills if you get one of the sicknesses that are not covered by the insurance. Either you depend on society or the market. Both have their problems.

They are working on different setups apparently, I was able to use ctrl+c/v to copy paste and next versions promises different selectable profiles. Sadly it defaults to your system language (swedish) and the menu shortcuts collide with

That they do this shows that they have been getting bad publicity by calling the wrong number and give private information to the wrong person. Now and then you see articles about this or that hospital sending faxes with patient data to som

For people that can't afford a new phone every year with a contract. You can buy cheap button-phones and get a phone card that cost you money every time you call but is free while you don't call.

In Sweden both sides had to hang up, not sure how it is now. My mother used it for kids prank calling. She just left it open until the parents came home and wanted to call, then she explained that their kid had been prank calling us.

It's just a machine calling. If you pick up and make a sound, you will be immediatelly connected to a person. If no person is available it will just drop the call and call again later. Only way is to not answer.

If you answer the call at all you will be put on the "Answers calls" list and sold to the next company. It's a way of cleaning calling lists from dead numbers.
