That’s still my favorite EU legislation. The price that is displayed must be equal (or higher, discounts are still allowed) to the price that you pay. Taxes, tips, fees, everything must be included in the price.

The Federation doesn’t have capitalism either (well, again this depends on the writer, but Picard was quite clear about it in one episode).

It’s all Starfleet’s fault, the Federation has expanded too much and has encircled Borg space for decades. Plus the Borg are good for making a multipolar galaxy, we should support them.

A Windows version becomes considered “good” the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.

Reading the card, explains the card.

Enter textless Cryptic Command.

Neverball seems far less known than the other ones, but it’s really good and has tons of levels.

Are there good UIs/tilesets for Nethack these days?

Definitely Neverball. My kids and I spent so many hours in it.

OpenTTD is good, so is TuxKart, but both have better closed-source alternatives. I don’t think Neverball does.

And vice versa - you can run commands on your computer from your phone. Handy when you’re in bed but remember that you forgot to turn the computer off.

Why would you do anything? It still works, so keep using it. Changing the OS just because you can sounds like a really bad idea to someone who’s been using the same thing for 11 years (and I’m a Linux user so no pro-Apple bias here). It sure sounds like she’s not the greatest fan of change.

And also, as already said by many other comments, an 11 year old laptop is about the opposite of planned obsolescence.

It’s a trade-off, so it depends on both how good the pay is and how opposed the company is.

I’m currently working for a crypto company, and have worked for other similar ones in the past, and these all tend to be libertarian types which I don’t agree with, but they pay well.

On the other hand, a previous employer tried to get Saudi Aramco as a client, and I made it clear that I would not support this. Fortunately those talks didn’t come anywhere.

So yes, there’s certainly a line.

KDE Connect is awesome. I’ve been using it since it first came out (I think it was a GSoC project) with a variety of phones, and am 100% happy with it.

BTW, about the naming, KDE stopped the K thing around KDE 4, with apps such as Cantor.

You don’t know many gardeners then. Try making a single step in their cabbage patch.

Many conspiracies are true. Probably not the ones about aliens or lizard people, but certainly the ones about oil companies (and oil countries) lying and spreading propaganda.

Come on, it’s obvious why it bothers them so much. As it should, that’s extremely annoying. If the partner wants to show something, they can come over to you, not call you.

KDE Connect can find your phone, as long as it’s on the same network (basically, only at home). It’s not perfect but it’s something.

I wonder how saying that Muslims are being exploited counts as islamophobia.

I never tested it, but still wonder why nobody who wasn’t indoctrinated into it since birth doesn’t just decide to wear a burka in summer heat.

I don’t know much about the topic in depth, but I can tell you the greatest problem with using a blockchain for such record keeping: there is no way to ensure that the service that was recorded in the blockchain actually matches the service that was performed. And this is the same problem that every single record keeping system has, so it’s not unique, but simply because of this all the greater reliability of the blockchain is meaningless.

Below 110K. That’s still at least 160K away from room temperature.
