You are in error Elon. It has been reduced by ~60000 ms. The "load more"- semishadowban group has now now been totally liberated and messages appear immediately. Previously it took a minute before messages appeared to the end of t

Because all have politicians on board. Most famous was Finnish Labor Minister, who was on board of a company hiring "temporary workers" permanently, thus bypassing labor laws. When asked, she basically said "I was there for c

Not a big thing. Most European corporations already have a board for politicians and "sauna-board" for real issues.

Large parts did not. Of particular interest is Iceland. It is always 11C there. And always has been. It is also isolated from other issues, like Germans burning dirty coal instead of totally harmless and renewable Russian Gas.

All those {;} - languages are the same. They differ as much as different LISPs. Elisp seems to be my programming language, if we ask the question that way.

The reason Finnish government was supporting Jolla OS development was that several prominent anti-communist politicians got Jordan Peterson treatment. Android, gmail and other Google services did not work for days. This was not published, s

Which state is that? You cannot sue the King, Swedish government or individual MPs.

You dont actually need Android for anything. We could return to 2005, when everybody had "phone-friendly" versions of their web page, instead of bloody apps.

In Python. of course. I use good old web.py, because I am lazy and stupid. "Django lets you write web apps in Django. TurboGears lets you write web apps in TurboGears. Web.py lets you write web apps in Python." I have (tiny) impro

Musk already has his own internet and phone network. He could use it as a backbone for ground relays at Tesla charging stations. Worldwide. I would subscribe Musk phone in about 0.1 seconds. So much shit is happening, mostly because of Goog

BBC and DW are not very reliable source on this (or much anything anymore). All we know for the moment is that Germany is burning coal and Russian gas and building some new infrastructure, but it will take years.

You forgot the termux-x11. Full windowing system within Android and viewable with VNC locally or from elsewhere. "bVNC" is particularly good on this.

Corridor Crew does such a good job explaining things. They are the reason I can use Blender somewhat. Corridor Crew deserves Nobel Prize of Education.

Does not fit into my 20 meter long cable. It has fatter handles. Can I have programmable Openscad - version?

50 cent ESP-8266 would make excellent PDP-11. Except much too much memory. And 20 times too fast.

One thing bad is the word 'class'. What it is supposed to even mean? It was some fancy concept by stupid Normen when defining Simula. My Simula teacher said that you could just translate it as "design" as in "design

Ach. It depends on mode. In C-mode if you two-tab the "{" it selects the whole block.

Rapid two presses seems to do something, it is "set-mark" and "select-word" or "select-line" depending where your fat fingers happen to land.

Yes. It is called 'emacs', but you need to add (xterm-mouse-mode 1) to ~/.emacs. Then it is almost amazing, because in a phone (and termux) your fingers are the mouse. You can do scrolls with youres fingeries too, if you add

These are always so weird. Massive structures with few moving parts. Imagine 10 km long flexible tube floating on ocean surface. They have one-way valves for every 10 meters. The tube sucks in water and as waves roll along, the pressure r

Ok. I understood my error in about 5.3 second but let it stay, because it was funny, and would trigger somebody to generate a wall-chart of explanations. Anyways already in 1982 I was diabolically opposed to this kind of shit. Read and Prin
