For one, YouTube gives you time codes, which are good when translating, but just in the way when reading or editing (say to find a quote). Second, while a minor annoyance, the text is hard scroll and read, due to how constricted the reading

Schools think it's enough anonymization to call pupils by their initials while mailing back and forth grades and sensitive data and characterizations about them. It's a rampant problem.

I've installed Ubuntu, Mint and Debian in many different ways, but never did it take three days, though I did end up tweaking a bunch of stuff in the following days. I mean, I guess, if you take that time into account, then the &quot

Is it possible to get aggregate numbers? Say for the Nordics and for Scandinavia, or other such regions of tightly knit countries or regions? Most "Scandis" like to compare with the other Scandinavian countries, and with select Eu

I noticed he didn't know much about Rust. And I really want to learn Rust. Except it seems the installation size is reprehensible. Is there a way to install a minimum version to get started with some fiddling about?

> Historically agricultural workers were slaves or at best serfs. In any case, a brutal lifestyle, generally for someone else's benefit. Not really. It's a myth that farms were made solely to support "the 1%." In fact

What you are saying is true, but a lot of people hate the thought, since a farm has historically been a family working within a small community or a village, first and foremost for their own benefit, with the surplus going back to the vil

What you're talking about reminds me of the horseshoe model of politics. I've always found it fascinating how corporatism is so similar to aspects of communism, or how communist bureaus in some ways are very similar to corporation

That is not entirely true. They can only track end-points with that system, meaning those places where the note ID is inspected. Moreover it's usually only done by one bank; the central bank. In any case that is certainly not a great a

What is the "Freedom Score" based upon? I find it strange that the USA has such a low score (in the 80's), though I do note that the censorship in the USA isn't really as much state-driven, as it is corporate. I also not

Phew! Finally it's safe for Basques to visit Iceland again! :D Jokes aside, Iceland is a very interesting place, not just because of its incredible nature, but also its history and language, especially due to their very interesting and

>it feels like "the gap" was closed by Apple, by letting their system degrade. While there is some merit to this claim, I don't agree with it entirely. In my experience using these systems side-by-side for over 10 years no

Great tips! Thank you! I'm more into 2D compositing for video, but I've had my eye on Blender for some time. Not sure how it stacks up against stuff like After Effects. For audio production I already use Reaper FM, but I might giv

I'm not. Since the last few iterations of Apple hardware and OS software, I've decided to switch to something else. I'm also advicing all friends and collegues to do the same. There is simply no reason to stay with Apple anym
