I wish there was one of these Start replacement programs that expanded the functionality instead of just giving back what Microsoft has taken from us. How about a Taskbar that auto-hides but only after a certain amount of time? How about a

If you Ctrl+F "patent" on an article about a technological breakthrough and get no results you can go ahead and close the window. It's not going to be relevant to your life for at least a decade if ever.

Electric fueled by coal produces less CO2 than gasoline. It's not cleaner by a long shot. The pollution produced by a coal plant, especially a brown coal plant, is insane even when they don't have an ash pond breach that kil

BHP says battery electric cheaper than hydrogen Well, duh. Hydrogen is just a (terrible) liquid battery you have to re-manufacture every time you discharge it. You lose a third of the energy making the hydrogen, another quarter moving it

The Tor Project is a non-profit and the Tor service is used not just by criminals but people under repressive regimes around the world, and there are no real alternatives to it. My VPN provider is a for-profit company and its users are free

It would make up for it, but not fix it. The network would still be faster without my traffic. Plus, torrenting hundreds of gigabytes of data over Tor would be rather abusive.

I very rarely use Tor because using Tor without being an exit node just slows it down for everyone else using it and running an exit node means CSAM passing through your router sooner or later which I find unacceptable. Most of my privacy n

Yeah I was going to say, if Tor is only 3x slower I'm switching right now. Last time I used it it was on the order of 20x slower.

Endorsement is not the same as performance. I endorse peoples' right to use drugs or put obscene bumper stickers on their car. Doesn't mean I do the same.

We live in a world where hyperbole is the order of the day. If you don't like gay marriage you're a proponent of genocide. If you suggest not letting people starve to death in the street you're a Satan-worshipping communist.

He's saying it's a bad novel because of their inclusion, which is simply nonsensical. If heaven was real and Christianity was correct a complete refusal to do violence would be the right thing to do because your earthly existence

For one thing, it praises the enslaved for turning their cheeks, as it were, to be slapped again—or killed—rather than fighting back, a notion of Christian virtue and acceptance Why would you expect a work of literature by a Christian to

Ayep. When you're the PLC guy they expect you to know how to fix anything that plugs into a wall but isn't understood by the electricians.

I'll never do PLC work again. Forget undocumented code, most of the time there's no schematics for the hardware you're working on because it was custom-built thirty years ago.

I'm amazed it was ever legal in the first place. It's open nepotism.

I was thinking a legal framework analogous to the one used in Texas where regular citizens could obtain ten thousand dollars by suing women who had abortions. Sort of a "turnabout is fair play" approach.

I think the lockdown concept as implemented in 2020 was a great illustration of the problem of scale. This is not a popular opinion but I think the fundamental mistake of lockdowns, at least in North America, was starting from a top-down
