The point is the Linux Kernel is covering the same security mitigations which make the CPU level ones redundant. If all users are using the Linux Kernel, why would it be an issue?

You receive: Windows 95 theme on Xubuntu.

Reverse Saruman, the money he donated made him look white.

Whether an actor should be a half-billionaire is up for debate but if anyone should have that kind of money yes it’s artists, sportsball players, etc.

Why would it be more fair for them than CEOs? I'm not defending this one but asking in general.

I was surprised so I did the computation just to resolve the disk of Betelgeuse at 550 nm, and I found a telescope of 2.8 m, that's definitely already doable. We already have 8 m in one piece and 10 m segmented, JWST is 6.5 m segmented. The ELT is planned to be 39 m for 2028. So this star is closer and bigger than I thought.

And these are the images we have from one of the top imaging instrument SPHERE on the VLT in 2019. It's precise enough to show the change of shape due to its variable star type.

It would be the size of the telescope's diffraction artifacts probably. Meaning the shape you see on the picture is not related to the size of the star but only to the physical limits of the optical instrument. This diffraction pattern is proportional to the color your looking at and inversely proportional to the size of the telescope primary mirror. The bigger the telescope primary mirror, the smaller the diffraction pattern and the more chance you have that this artifact will not completely hide the object you are looking at. I didn't do the math, but I guess to image the actual disk of Betelgeuse, the size of the telescope you need is probably still science fiction, even with interferometry.

As you can see, I said "reputation". I hate how little they innovate while still selling at premium, but similar to Disney, it is enough for the casual mass.

The fact that the Nintendos are locked down, family friendly and with a reputation of good production quality (similar to Disney), are also important points for non-nerdy parents and casual gamers who don't want to navigate the ocean of PC gaming and its risks.

The first step toward meaningful change begins with us. We must abandon our craving for glossy (and therefore glassy) devices, and instead embrace hardware that may not be as immediately pleasing to the eye (as it is the case with e.g. Fairphones or the PinePhone), but is built to be slightly more durable, somewhat repairable, and capable of outlasting even today’s limited commitments to software updates.

Fairphone and PinePhone being only mentioned anecdotally for being too pretty, and I guess not as sturdy as the author wants, is quite weird for an article about reducing fragility and improving repairability.

Looks like a cosmological cat traveling through nebulae.

My cute little fluffy parasite 🪱 😍

I take the expression more as a warning to control it so it does not impact my mental health too much. Getting (properly) informed is good, but if I get so depressed that I can't act positively on the system anymore or I make it worse for me and others, then it becomes counter-productive.

Idk the band much, but I was curious, found this guy.

Paul Bruce Dickinson (born 7 August 1958) is an English singer who is best known as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Dickinson has performed in the band across two stints, from 1981 to 1993 and from 1999 to the present day. He is known for his wide-ranging operatic vocal style and energetic stage presence.
...
Outside his career in music, Dickinson has pursued a number of other activities. He undertook a career as a commercial pilot for Astraeus Airlines, which led to a number of media-reported ventures such as captaining Iron Maiden's converted charter aeroplane, Ed Force One, during their world tours. Following Astraeus' closure, in 2012 he created his own aircraft maintenance and pilot training company, Cardiff Aviation. Dickinson presented his own radio show on BBC Radio 6 Music from 2002 to 2010, and has also hosted television documentaries, authored novels and film scripts, created a beer with Robinsons Brewery and competed at fencing internationally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson

A PE teacher got absolutely wrecked by a former Olympic sprinter at a sprint competition.

Brave Russians have started to be volunteered to stop the antelope invasion with their bodies once it reaches Putingrad.

Also starting to spread on the cheapest plans of streaming services like Prime and Netflix.

• Urban Driftwood by Yasmin Williams, light acoustic guitars
• A Plane Over Woods by The Vernon Spring, chill contemporary piano
• Tall Tales by Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke, melancholic electronica
• Lamomali by -M-, Toumani Diabaté, Sidiki Diabaté, Fatoumata Diawara, French chanson mixed with traditional Malian music

I don’t think you can rely on volunteer labor and donations to keep things running indefinitely.

Doesn't that imply that it will not work on the long term?
Or you think groups of volunteer will form up and maintain an instance for a while and then go down, and another group will pick up?
I'm afraid we may run out of people able to do that after they all get burned out like ee's.

Thanks

So why is the "wall" not working anymore? Do we have a scientific explanation?
