   I have a question: what measures are taken with touch systems (smartphones) to disable the accelerometer during password input? And would it be ludicrous to randomize a soft keyboard for password entry?

   I've recently had about 30 tabs open, both in Firefox and Firefox-ESR, on Debian Testing. After over 10 years on Debian, my system has begun to freeze somewhat dependably and predictably when either browser has more than 5 active* tabs

   I have some questions for any willing to consider, though know in advance I am quite ignorant on the general subject. I've been having a surprisingly good time in my 'discussions' with the free online chatgpt, which has a cut

   Agreed. I would definitely be willing to participate in the research.

   I'm not a kid, but resemble one when I get a hold of a copper tube and strong neodymium magnet. Probably my favorite toy. I'm kind of glad I have only a kid's understanding of it.

   And some Canadian coins used be actual sterling, until they went to 80%ag. I think US coins were always 90. A few nickels from the early 1940s were, I think, 43% Ag, due to wartime metal shortages. But man, if you ever find a 1943 copper wh

    Haven't read the article yet, but Roger Penrose mentioned a friend (anesthetist?) of his who's researching microtubules as a possible culprit of consciousness. Very interesting stuff.

    I'm not convinced that the question was genuine, but thanks for partial clarification. It is my unwavering opinion that such settings should be accessible through the Android/Apple interface and not within the specific carrier acc

    This is absolutely moronic. YouTube is not Verizon. What don't you understand about "Verizon account settings"? Or is this simply compulsive pugnacity? Go pick on someone else. And for those who might be infected by the above

    I got 10 years out of my Debian box. When I replaced the harddrive I did a fresh install. I always go with Testing and have had a few hiccups and issues along the way, but nothing unfixable in short time. Wanting toget away from systemd, I

    One reason * may * be that most users didn't want it. It was kind of foisted. I was bitter about it for years until I lost my enthusiasm for Linux. Now, I exclusively use Debian (testing) but, to put it abstractly, it seems without a s

    I do not deny that there's validity to your points. For me, it's the wrong interpretation. Again, I understand the points, but the way I gaze into the future reflects an ugly picture if we allow ourselves to go this direction. We&

    I was under the impression that kagi is a paid service. I don't mind what others do, but I'm personally opposed to paying what I consider extortion fees to avoid being smothered in toxic waste. As a bit of an idealist, I hold that

    I fantasized about a product made of, essentially, toilet paper, for removing soft adhesives. As it is rubbed, it sheds, then the rolling effect eventually absorbs the adhesive. Works well for sticker residue.

    Not being within the potential of becoming even an amateur material scientist, it seems to me a biodegradable solution should exist, eg some kind of GMO starch foam with binders. Maybe marshmallows. Sugar free, of course.

    When this question arises, I always think of Korzibsky in my foggy recollection of him. Linguistics do program us, more than, I think, we admit. Unfortunately, individuals have limited authority in how language is applied, but in theory, a

    It would hardly accomplish the unseating, but influencing people to stop using it even if just for search, would be helpful. Duckduckgo is the only thing that has come close to doing this, but insignificantly. Unfortunately, while DDG seems

    I'm not sure why DDG has become such an acceptable google alternative. Even google returns less IP-based, irrelevant results. It's not terrible and sometimes it's good, but results are frequently absurd. I find an instance of
