A zero tolerance policy for ads, PR, and non-free software. It doesn't have to be law, you can do it for your own life. You will suffer some but it's worth it.

I learned to program when I was pretty young, the only time stuff like scratch makes sense is kindergarden when you're still learning to read (for me it was the mindstorms stuff.) I was using Turbo Pascal when I was 11. Many children a

The worst thing you can do to your kids if you want them to program is give them a "smart" device. Part of what drew me into programming at 11 was the realization that I could modify some of the most fundamental behavior of my com

I was (very) mildly interested in it until it got spammed into Firefox. Now it exists in the same category as Norton Antivirus in my mind. I stopped paying attention to what they were doing around then. It probably actually has some decent

Personally I far prefer the CLI even on a touch screen because I don't get controls popping/sliding/whizzing underneath my fingers when I'm trying to do something else.

That's not necessarily true. Instead of just suspending you can make "suspend" a runlevel which includes a service that periodically wakes the phone up so apps can manage connections to servers that might push data to them. I

Did they ever fix the modem disappearing on suspend? I have the latest kernel (as of a month ago) and a build of bitkorgii's modem firmware from last year but I still need to reboot the phone every time I pull it out to check my texts.

Yeah, I'm fucking tiered of war mongering boomers defending BS like this. If they love what's left of Ukraine so much why don't we send them over there?

1) Up until very recently we were making the more advanced semiconductors and it was one of our larger exports. 2) Most of the advanced/intricate manufacturing is done in Taiwan. China is slowly improving but it's mostly just la

The implication here is that if you don't agree with them you're either ignorant or racist which isn't great.

I liked Adlemen's genetic computing paper. It had tons of jargon and references but was only ~ two pages long. It's a super dense two pages if you're new to molecular biology though. I think that's what most academic wri

With the censorship on DuckDuckgo I've noticed Yandex's video search is actually pretty decent and searches not just YouTube but many other video platforms as well.

I think most of the poorer people would be happy with deflation right now. Between housing and fuel inflation hasn't been kind to people either.

Yeah, also you can't compare UTC times without an almanac generated by a random natural process which means even without the cultural/political problem UTC is still by definition uncertain for future dates. AST is arguably better

This is what happens when you kick everyone with different views off your platforms; you get an echo chamber.

I kept all of my clocks on daylight time this winter. I never had the jolt in the fall and won't have it in the spring, even when I'm sick or hungover I sleep in and still get up in time for work.

If you just want to share a video dump it in /var/www/html. If it becomes very popular you'll be able to monetize it and pay for a CDN but that kind of popularity usually has to built up to so you shouldn't worry

Personally I always preferred quizzes for that. I've always been a very strong autodidact though, there are probably people who prefer getting dragged through things by homework.

I've had my bank close my account and send all the money in it as a cashier's check to my sister's house. They never told me and let me keep depositing money (at one point I had ~$5k in there.) The only way I was able to figu
