Well, you kind of can actually. It just replaces KWin

Does links count? ;)

Or old school Konqueror.

I use Firefox on my phone, and Chrome on my work computer.

Canada only has appointed judges, and their appointments are almost uniformly meritorious. It’s so much better than elected judges and keeps politics out of the Rule of Law. I think Mexico is making a mistake here. But perhaps it suits their specific needs.

The coastline there is receding, due to isostatic rebound. Actually this is true of most of the north. It’s ironic in the context of global warming that sea level rise won’t affect the north much as it melts.

This sounds like the sort of infrastructure project the Linux Foundation should be supporting.

The only way the US ever regresses from its current position is through internal disarray. They cannot be challenged by external forces, not in the foreseeable future anyway. Unfortunately, internal disarray of the magnitude required to effect the changes espoused herein are basically impossible without full scale civil war erupting. And that would be bad or worse. When the medicine is worse than the disease, you accept the disease.

I don’t understand how authoritarian leaning conservatives and free speech absolutists align most of the time.

James Bond death ray time :)

This is such an interesting development. I bet a lot of dirty laundry is about to be aired.

not all of our population has adapted to this

Sure, it’s just another tarball to compile and install, right? What do you mean lots of dependencies? Oh, well, I guess there is Krita :)

If we’re in string freeze, it’s probably within a few weeks. They’re in bug squashing and translations mode now. I’d take that bet.

Wait until they find they don’t have 2nd amendment rights there

My gf calls me a “radical optimist” for believing in people eventually doing the right thing :)

Scientist piping in with my two cents. Granted my speciality is geophysics and planetary science, and not specifically climate.

In geoscience we tend to talk about things on very long timescales. Like: at what point with the sun’s output cause the earth to turn into Venus (250 million years as a lower bound, ish, then all life is doomed on Earth). The rate of change we’ve applied to our atmosphere is faster than any natural process other than a meteor strike or similar event. There are climate change scenarios where all life on the planet dies (why wait 250 million years!?), but they’re mostly improbable unless we have some sort of runaway feedback mechanism we’ve not accounted for. 2/3 of humans dying is also unlikely. Coastline and ecosystem disruption are almost certain though.

The thing about humans are: we are frighteningly clever. We can build spacecraft that can survive the harsh environment in space and people survive there. As long as climate change doesn’t happen “too fast” (values of “too fast” may vary), we will engineer our way around it. On the small scale: air conditioning; and on the larger scale, geo-engineering (after accumulating sufficient political will). We’re so clever that, if we (or our descendants or similar) can probably even save the earth in 250 million years when the sun’s output passes the threshold where it wants to fry us – assuming we survive that long.

That doesn’t detract from her statement. But it is the Mirror, and the headlight is trying to be incendiary.

At least you can force desktop mode on most sites. No mobiles apps, desktop mode on phone. Usually.

Grid storage only. But still cool

Bring out the balloons!

Probably this is captured equipment within the geofenced operational zone. Likely the geofence isn’t responsive enough to changes in the frontline position (being more responsive might actually breech opsec). And likely Ukranians are having trouble with inventory control on their Starlink dishes – knowing which ones are captured or not. Very likely the media is making this a bigger story than it ought to be, from a technical and logistical perspective. Practically speaking, this is like connecting to the enemy’s civilian cell network while within range.

Article about an article. Hey, at least the site isn’t filled with ads. Oh wait.
