  • Yeah, well the DMA wasn't going to cost most EU politicians much of their good ol' corporate lobbying monies. But switching the EU off of Micro$oft would definitely not only lose those funds, but also introduce way more vigorous counter-lobbying.

    One pro of the EU's glacial pace is that they frog-boil the shareholders, meaning most counter-lobbying activities are relatively tame.

    But damn, do I wish they would just give the finger to all those american corporations and start a 4-year transition to OSS.

  • So...

     
            (4/6)m > (5/6)l
        m > (5/4)l
    
    
      

    Which means Marty's pizza is more than one and a quarter the size of Luis' pizza. We can comfortably just compare the area, since we can assume a flat disk with equal height for a pizza.

    Assuming Luis' pizza is a Domino's Classic size of 25cm that's an area of:

     
            (25cm / 2)² * π = (625cm² / 4) * π = 490.874cm²
    
    
      

    So Marty's pizza should be more than 490.874cm² * 1.25 = 613.5925cm² for 4/6 of his to be greater than of 5/6 of Luis', so:

     
            sqrt(613.5925cm² / π) * 2 = 13.975426964cm * 2 = 27.950853929cm
    
    
      

    Since Marty's pizza is greater, let's go with 28cm diameter... which happens to match exactly a Domino's Medium size.

    That's a very realistic scenario and the teacher is an absolute idiot for not understanding.

  • It's not "protecting your data" in a literal sense, it just doesn't collect and share it. Your data isn't specially protected in Linux, it's just that Windows and MacOS do collect data from your PC and sent it to their owners. So it's only better for your data protection, because it doesn't actively share your data.

    That's another thing, with Windows or MacOS installed on your PC, you do not own your operating system, you just bought a license to use it. But you DO OWN the Linux on your PC, it's yours and you are legally allowed to do with it as you please. And thus, the only master that it serves are you. Not the corporations trying to exploit you for profit.

  • Where should we be putting our efforts? Where should we be putting our focus? I'll tell you where our enemies are putting it. They're putting it on the kids.

    It's no wonder, with that kind of intense training and discipling, that those young people are ready to kill themselves for the cause of Islam. I wanna see young people who are as committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as the young people are to the cause of Islam. I wanna see them as radically laying down their lives for the Gospel as they are over in Pakistan and Israel and Palestine and all those different places, you know, because we have... excuse me, but we have the truth!

  • I mean... there is an argument to be made that... genetically... hell, cladistically, the cancer is a dog. It's just... a very special one?

    This absolutely stretches our understanding of what is a dog and maybe even what is a life form. Maybe we should start looking even at viruses as forms of life. In the end the only distinguishing factor might be if it has inheritable properties which are subject to evolution

  • It's called the immortal dog. Same thing is happening to tasmanian devils right now, the devil's tumor evolved in the 1980s and has been jumping from one devil to the next since then.

    The interesting thing about the immortal dog (canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor, CTVT) is that is has continued to evolve and become an ever more efficient parasite. This is a stark reminder that evolution is something that happens to genes, not to organisms.

  • Am a heavy metal dude. Can confirm that I absolutely disapprove of this weak ass faker.

    If you feel threatened in your manliness from checks notes ... wait what? Eating soup?! Ironing? Crossing ones legs? Successful women?

    Dude can't handle soup! Soup!!

    Asshole needs to grow a spine and put a brain on it.

    Verdict: Not metal
