Why is it magic? Wine has been around since forever. It's not like Valve wrote most of the underlying code proton runs on. And what's with all the valve/steam hype from people that should know better? At the end of the day yo

Yes, at the bottom of Tennyson Down before the Needles! A concrete rocket motor hard stand built into the side of the slope. Slept out on it for a lunar eclipse one summer night.

Have you taken a look at Syncthing? I use it to sync the desktop music directory (~300Gb) with the phone's microSD card. For external storage or cloud backups, I just use rsync. It's all pretty trivial once it's setup.

Yes, because they will be replaced with offshore labor or visa workers.

What are "stories"? What is the use case? If it's a low effort way to spam one's acquaintances, seems like a website/blog would be better for sharing images/text and also has the advantage of not being tied to

For your laptop, have you tried virtual desktops tied to keyboard shortcuts (like Alt-1, Alt-2, etc)? Also a drop down quake style terminal with multiple tabs provides the same rapid access functionality for the command line.

Is this The Economist discovering Marxism? AA (and also Critical Race Theory) argue that race/racism are the defining structural concept that order economic and social relationships. Marxism argues that it is by wealth or class. For a

ESRI and the USGS provide WMS tilesets of USGS topographic quads. So a generic WMS viewer capability with the ability to save cached tiles offline in Gaia could provide that functionality without incurring additional bandwidth costs. Except

Gaia GPS on iphone requires a subscription to save USGS topographic tiles for offline use. That's an artificial limit on functionality using a publicly-funded resource.

Isn't Gaia's business model to charge for access to the maps we've already paid for with our taxes (such as USGS topographic quads)? So one shouldn't have stellar expectations over their acquisition.

Just to respond to a few of your more landlubberly comments: Naval battles are fought by aircraft carried on ships. Modern naval warfare is still about global power projected by ships. That hasn't changed since 1920. Global power proje

Bold claims, bold citations? The "mountains of work" "proving" that the JA is a negative suffer from a free-market neo-liberal bias.

Both sides could have respected the Minsk agreement. NATO could have resisted expansion to the East. A federalized option agreeable to the Ukrainian secessionist provinces promising some autonomy might have been successful. The West could h

Thanks for the insightful comments. I think Ukraine is certainly in a civil war based on regional lines and Russia is in a proxy civil war based on the idea of what the future Russia should look like. It's a mess and no side can claim

It's not that simple. In Hawaii the local rednecks enjoy driving their large lifted Toyota 4Runners ("Land Canoes") onto the beaches to fish or tailgate. Having a gate and boulders seems like an ecologically protective measur

It's much easier to unscrew and take the back off the Latitudes than the Thinkpads and their hidden plastic clips that you risk breaking. For some reason, even recent Thinkpads are way over-valued on EBay, this is not the case for Lati

Yes, I agree. What is the usage for tmux? Multiple tabs on a quake-style dropdown terminal on a desktop (like guake) does seem much easier than tmux, especially when gnu-screen is always available when you need to run an uninteruptible comm
