I love LO and I appreciate the love they are giving to Arabic speakers, but that "متال" is killing me!

But how are they going stuff them chokeful of intrusive bloatware then?

Yes. Perhaps pushing sophisticated models that require validation, on users who most definitely won't (and the whole premise of the model itself is that it spares them work) was a bad idea...

<sarcasm> Now that's just wasted effort. Why save the rich from themselves? Let them build on coasts and see their investments slowly drown over the coming years. </sarcasm> Seriously, it's refreshing to see an au

I would say it was growth that killed it, and what would kill any platform that allows some sort of public-facing, user content. Keep adding people, and you would both lower your bar towards an obviously low average, and you increase the pr

Those unfortunate enough to be desperate for a job (or keeping the one they have) do. Which sadly translates to a very huge portion of the population.

It depends on the water balance. Reservoirs would help you smooth out variability/seasonality and mitigate infrequent, short term droughts, depending on its size. They would not help with a long term drought or if you are water stresse

Can't speak for Hungary specifically, but the problem with flat terrain wrt hydro storage isn't just elevation difference - which can be offset with flowrate - it's the large surface area to storage and to depth ratios. Large

Planting more PV farms isn't better, it just convolutes the equation and hides the true sources of damage behind things with a less negative image, and would eventually just prove Jevon's law, one way or the other. Not preceding &

Uh, how many rapists do you guys have trolling about to even manage to produce a percentage like that?

More like 90-ish percent. On the high side, yes, many educators have experiences that would make the figure relatable. Signed: Someone who had to do away with prose/essay assignments after the bright people in tech decided that making

It's a game for those with the most cash to burn, and Zuck has that cash (or the ridiculous and numerous equivalents the financers/economists come up with whenever the old set of Monopoly currencies come up short).

Create the demand and supply will follow... Not that I agree with the premise that there isn't anything to do. Even if were to limit the scope to just your examples, printing presses are still around, and those screens can be used as d

It also makes choosing it easier for others. “Hosting on Codeberg is a good indicator my code is handcrafted”, or somesuch. I don’t want nor am I interested in arguing whether “handcrafted” is good or bad, just positing that some people wou

To be fair, that’s 50% the shop’s fault. They could have probably provided access via a link like GDrive allows. But of course, some moron on the other end would probably find it incomprehensible why you don’t already have an MS account or

I believe you are [trying to?] dedcribe typical river morphodynamics; meandering and oxbow lake formation. While yes, they do happen, rivers like the Nile, especially in its milder sloped ends in Egypt, don't see the dramatical version

Uh, it isn't. GERD's operation's negative effect on the Nile's yield are minimal, and they could be even positive with coordinated, basin-wide, water management, but that's something Egypt has been continusouly agai

Yes, OrganicMap pushes new places and metadata edits directly . I think they only use notes for deletions. In batches, to be exact. Multiple edits in relatively short intervals (a few minutes) are commited as one.
