It's nice to have some quick mental conversions ready.
1 mile is roughly 1.6 km, so 100 miles is roughly 160 km
3 feet is roughly a meter
2 pounds are roughly 1 kg
1 gallon is roughly 4 liters
32 fahrenheit it 0 celcius, 100 fahrenheit is slightly over body temperature, 200 fahrenheit is almost enough to boil water... Any other value requires math to figure out...
You don't own the games on any digital platform, neither steam, epic or gog. You're only being sold a license to use it, and the license can be revoked whenever the company feels like it.
Thisbis actually true for most of the physical media back in the day, the only difference is that they didn't really have a method to revoke the license... But that nice old cardboard box you have in your attic, with the nice shiny plastic disc... You still don't legally own the software on it.
This is exactly why I run Linux on all my computers, and run as much open-source software as I can, build my own home server, and set up my own home-automation. It does have a time cost, over convenience, but being able to tailor everything to my needs and wants is a wonderful feeling.
But yes, it would be wonderful if this was a more common mentality in software in general. Especially on mobile devices.
Podcast Addict is not quite as streamlined, but has many more features.
My favorite feature is the "Automatic Rewind" combined with "Incremental rewind". It adds a rewind everytime you pause and resume an episode that increases the longer the podcast has been paused. It means that if I briefly pause, for example to respond to. Some one in real life talking to me, then it will automatically rewind 5 seconds when I start the podcast again, so I can hear the sentence I was in the middle of in full. But if I leave a podcast alone for a week, then it will rewind 1 minute so I can get fully back into the context of what I was listening to.
10 minutes? Oh neat, that sounds like a nice little snack, maybe a new topic to discover?
Half an hour? Oooh, this could get interesting, this could be a pretty good introduction to the topic.
An hour? Nice, someone clearly did some research and isn't skimping in details! Time to learn something.
Six hours? Holy heck, this topic must be much deeper than I though! This person clearly did some homework and has something to say! Time to get consumed.
The GDPR does not in any way disallow Facebook from running ads, regardless of the users consent. But if the user doesn't consent, Facebook can't run targeted ads on the user.
You're absolutely correct... However it will be very interesting to see how this doesn't violate the GDPR... recital 42 says:
“Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.”
Withdrawing consent in this case causes the detriment of having to either pay or lose access to the service... So this clearly isn't "freely given" consent.
I read that the ash is actually quite bad for fertilising plants... And it might even hinder the plants growth... I don't have the source handy, unfortunately...
So if you want to be environmental, your best bet is probably to be composted (only legal en very few places) or buried in a cardboard coffin.
It's rather important to understand the performance characteristics for people to know what to expect if they want to switch to Linux.
If games ran at half the FPS on Linux as they would have on Windows, then pretty much no one would be gaming on linux.
If you got 90% performance on Linux, only Linux enthusiasts would take the performance hit.
At 100% performance the choice is completely free, people that got fed up with windows could just switch.
When Linux outperforms Windows, this puts us in very interesting territory, as this might even entice a bunch of people to give Linux a try to see whether the switch is worth the performance. I'm personally quite interested in seeing whether this could be the tipping point for Linux on desktop and laptop to really start taking off.
Sure, there's also the scratch image, which is entirely empty... So if your app is just a single statically linked binary, your entire container contents can be a single binary.
The busybox image is also more barebones than alpine, but still has a couple of basic tools.
Containers can be entirely without anything. Some containers only contain the binary that gets executed. But many containers do contain pretty much a full distribution, but I have yet to see a container with a password hash in its /etc/shadow file...
So while the container has a root account, it doesn't have any login at all, no password, no ssh key, nothing.
