Pipewire for some reason insists on using GTK4 for its UI though, which hangs X cold if you use any of the popovers in it. I didn't even know it was possible to hang X like that.

And that is why I won't be buying one until at least 2025, and unless they also remove all on-device spyware and let me power it off for real without it broadcasting its own location when shut down.

Apparently Israel's government is reluctant to disclose that their entire populace are now involuntary, lifetime Pfizer customers.

We're lucky to have Israel as a trailblaser in all this. Extremely high compliance, all vaccinated with the same vaccine, comparable level of medicine in the country, yet the deaths keep spiking from time to time, only marginally below

Speed is not usually a problem, at least for me. The real problem is _retention_. That is, specifically, being able to recall what I learned if I stop using it regularly for as little as even a couple of months. If anyone has some _real_ ti

Related: when Peter The Great introduced potatoes to Russia (from Holland IIRC), he forgot to tell the peasants what parts were edible, and the peasants ate the poisonous above-ground bits. Looking at the comments, seems like he wasn't

This is something people from countries where people drink primarily hard liquor (Russia, Finland, much of Eastern Europe) know pretty well even if they don't know how to explain it. Another trick is to watch _what_ you eat. Meat and f

If you mean school, the first 10 years of grade school are basically glorified daycare. The remaining 2 (hopefully) teach you how to think and prepare you for college. That's why in countries which actually do care about their high-IQ

If you are otherwise competent, as you progress through your career, you will realize that most of the time (if not _all_ of the time) you get rejections not because there's something wrong with you, but because _their_ interview proce

Usually 3-4. It's tough to line them up, so the ordering is not always complete, but I do get a couple of "doesn't matter" interviews done before I go for a "meaningful" one. Sorry for wasting your time, compan

And it can't ever be accurate. Thing is, how drunk you're going to get within some time frame depends on what (and how much) you're eating, and whether your stomach had some food in it before you started drinking. If there&#x

I think it's ridiculous and dumb that otherwise smart people take months out of their busy lives to train these bullshit skills they'll never use outside these "interviews". FWIW, I never prepare for more than a couple o

Publishers should never have trusted Google in the first place, seeing how they're feeding from the same pie, and Google wants more of that pie. That's like trusting the Green River killer with a brothel. Even if nothing happens r

Because you can't trust Pfizer, unfortunately. Here's how they run their "studies" nowadays: https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2635 . This is just one lab, nobody has come forward (yet) about

In related news the FBI sat on high resolution drone footage of the Kenosha incident, and then inexplicably _deleted it_. In case someone has "backed up" the footage, now would be a good time to leak it as well. Funny how inconven

I guess we'll see, since China knows that GDP is directly tied to energy, and they are pursuing "all of the above" strategy. We've been pursuing the "make Al Gore rich" strategy so far.

Does Fossil support some sort of a backend for large/binary files? This, more than anything else, is my gripe with Git. LFS is a pain in the ass, and it sometimes breaks, too. I want something that's baked in and doesn't need

See, you can't "believe in climate change" and be against the cleanest, most abundant energy source we have: nuclear. It's just not a logically consistent position, a litmus test to determine if one's environmental

Rejoice, for pfizermectin is now upon us. Did they at least test the study participants for natural immunity ahead of time? In related news, Merck's molnupiravir has been approved in the UK as well.

You're free to raise your voice, just outside the work hours. Believe it or not, some people actually come to work to do _work_, not to advance their politics. And that's the way it has to be if any work is to be done at all.

Nothing. I'm also a big fan of libraries. I meant not DRM-d to hell Kindle, which Amazon and only Amazon can control, and which you never actually "own".
