This might be the only latin joke I ever get.

Someone thought me the concept of a legal fiction and I still think about it.

Land ownership, companies, nation states, citizenship: all exist because we agree that it does.

Although I understand the sentiment, the instrument under which the funding has been granted is called NEVI and has pretty strict requirements about what gets built (150kW rated, payment terminal equipped charging stations along major roads) as well as transparency requirements about reliability.

I don't think I've ever heard an AM transmission in my life, is there a benefit relative to FM or digital radio?

I think there might be two options to the right (yellow stickers) indicating eg 95E15 and 98E10

Is it really so? The specs are open, and Tesla has been permissive about letting other companies use their patents, but what would happen if they changed their minds?

Yea, Chinese people understand when you do that, but they first look at you with this confused look thinking 'he wants two chopstic pieces?' and then realize you have a vocabulary of a two-year-old.

Source:lived in China long enough to learn yo ask for things, but not long enough to learn the countable nouns.

Wouldn't that line of thinking imply that women don't have any agency about anything? Whatever they decide can be framed as a reaction to internalized fear.

Not to mention that gender roles also affect men.

I can actually imagine my grandpa doing this. I wouldn't call him a computer wizard by any means, but he has surprised me before. He will just go to the library, and have the librarians find printed computer magazines which would deal with various connectors, learn about HDMI and composite. Then proceed to find another magazine which has reviews of adapters and take a bus to the big electronics shop to ask about adapters and have them place the order for one.

He actually did this when he needed to digitize some tapes. Granted, he ended up with a firewire-connected external sound card and a tape deck from a hi-fi store connected to Audacity, when all he needed was my old walkman, a 3.5mm cable and Windows Recorder, but hey, it got the job done.

He used to be a researcher and he somehow sees these things just as requiring time to find the right source of information... And time he has.

I could imagine someone's grandma being the same.

Don't need windows if you live in a basement (and use Linux).

... Yea. How come this just gets done?

They would already know to a very high degree, because the device associates with a specific cell tower, and the cell size is quite small for 5g networks, especially in cities. I don't see why they would need a more accurate info.

Sounds talaxian.

So that's what a skull cap is.

I have been wondering why my maintainer doesn't remind people to donate more often. I set up a small recurring donation, so I don't have to remember, but I think it'd be okay to regularly remind people.

Also look into donating to your instance maintainer. They literally pay for the server costs, so it's fair.

I feel like there are some missed opportunities

• Sensors that don't work because a proprietary driver is missing
• Having to add repositories to get wifi working
• Voice assistant that only works if you know terminal command parameters by heart
• More tool windows
• More xorg.conf to get displays working
• A flame war about the relative benefits of obscure infrastructure componemts
• 7 package managers, 3 if which are needed to install 90% of needed software. The remaining 10% somehow still needs to be installed via shell scripts
• Completely new UI in each version, still looks like it was designed by german ocelots in the 90s

Oh behave!

I am very impressed by the detective work there. How do you even...?

That's one dial down, are the rest for when the first inevitably falls off?
