Asahi only partially supports the M3 and I guess now the M4 is out (though only in iPad)?

The worm’s last words, “the moon landing causes autism”

Btrfs will be fine, I use btrfs on a standard arch install, timeshift for managing snapshots, works well.

Fwiw they’re able to do the same thing by the sound of someone typing a password across the room. Not advocating for fingerprints or anything, just these exotic hacks are everywhere

Yeah, some shows did have their own consistent-ish systems, but I think some shows used a system that seemed to be relative to the center of the solar system, others from the perspective of the ship (which makes more sense to me, like naval bearings) - https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Heading.

It was a quick lookup from a long time ago, I was working on a 3d space game and was curious if ST had a consistent model I could just use.

The headings / bearings they use are all over the place too, remember looking it up and it feels like the writers just picked whatever numbers best fit the flow / cadence of dialog they were looking for

I thought I saw a headline last night that the democrats in the house said they would vote to table any effort to remove Johnson.

I just blue myself

The Trial of Hunter Biden('s Penis) - In this 6 part miniseries we'll be lending our usual journalistic excellence to uncovering the throbbing truth...

Agreed, the meta+arrow shortcuts to move windows around are great. That defaults to half/quarter windows. You can also define a custom layout (meta+t to configure). The meta+arrow shortcuts still work on half/quarters of the screen, but you can shift+drag a window to drop it into one of the custom layout tiles/areas... gives a lot of flexibility.

Can I ask what the better working system would look like? I've seen plenty of the stories about TSA lapses, obviously security at the airports isn't fun, but I'm not sure what an alternative system that works would look like.

Almost every time someone tries to lump this many people into one basket, the rest of what they’re saying is going to be dumb as hell.

Went to one of the sanctuaries around Hobart, their odor is pretty rough. I saw it described as smelling like a smelly wet dog, and it's definitely like that, but combined with like a "skunk, but one that evolved on the other side of the planet" smell.

• Step 1: move data from files into a database
• Step 2: delete files
• Step 3: press release that we just deleted the files
• Google, probably

I like that. If there was a site that did like The Razzies for movies but for technology enshitification, I would definitely watch, and probably follow a blog if it was done well

Real answer, learn how to paste several code snippets from stack overflow into a ChatGPT window and ask it to do what you need. Sprinkle in some copilot to tweak as needed. Congrats, Mr Programmer.

Just a note, the orange pi drivers are not in great shape. It’s getting better but I have a cluster of raspberry pi’s for development, bought an orange pi without first checking out much about them and it’s rough. Rockchip CPUs are great, and the driver / firmware situation is getting better, but something I’d read up on before buying one.

I’d still look at the N100, it’s about 2.5x the performance of raspberry pi 5, and being x86 you have more options than arm.

There are a lot of tiny PCs these days that can output 4k video and audio. Look for something with an N100 or N200 CPU if you want to go as cheap as possible, they tend to be super-cheap and perform well. I've got one of the GMTecs and this wireless keyboard+mouse, works really well from the couch.

There are cheaper/other options but to get you started: https://www.amazon.com/GMKtec-Windows-Computer-Business-G3-dp-B0CQ4XQ2WG/dp/B0CQ4XQ2WG https://morefine.com/collections/pc-box (specifically the M9)

I'm far from an expert in init systems, but there are some benefits to declarative approaches for configuration. It's one of the main reasons yaml and toml are as popular as they are. The short version is, declarative configuration tends to be less verbose, and the declarative contract defines what state you want things to be in, not how to get there which makes it easier on the person writing the unit file, and on the implementers of systemd in that there's a smaller surface-area to test

Generally declarative:

• requires less verbose configuration files, less room for error
• is easier to document and easier to understand
• leaves the implementers more freedom to improve their system as long as they live up to the agreed-upon contract
• is easier for implementers to test/validate. They don't need to support a scripting language and every single crazy thing someone might try with one but still consider valid

50% according to this article. They mention 80% in 1860.

I'm not 100% sure of the source there but I have heard similar numbers around 50%. Think of all the self-employed people doing jobs that just don't exist today in the US - delivering milk, fruit, fish, newspapers, door-to-door salesmen, and that's on top of jobs that still exist today with a lot of self-employed people like AC repair, plumbing, etc...
