Accession to NATO usually requires border disputes to be resolved. Last I knew Canada, the US and Turkey were also standing in the way.

For about a month until it’s shut down as insufficiently worshipful to our corporate overlords.

MAC is useless as a component of the security check. It’s trivial to change; either with a dongle, as you said, or in the network configuration of every major and minor OS.

Wow that headline. While it’s factually true I guess, it’s not at all representative of what’s stated in the article. They conveniently leave out that they want a separate deal with Mexico. More decoupling than excluding.

Skype was a steaming pile for sure, but it had the ability to search for and message a distribution group and get an answer from whomever was available and I could pin it for future use. Now I have to know every name in a group and message them individually until I find someone to help or start a meeting to get everyone at once. It may just be how our Teams instance is configured, but I miss that feature. And who decided there should be a limit on how many people I can pin in Teams?

Another stupid looking crossover/small SUV with a horse on the grill does not equal sport sedan

That seems unprofitable, probably against some rule of acquisition or other.

Still way behind for KDE though. I’m running Sid on my gaming machine and hoping they update some time soon. I have KDE Neon on my laptop and it works great, but with an Ubuntu base it’s still trying to shove Snap down my throat.

You get a proxy war, and you get a proxy war…

I feel there’s a Soviet Russia joke in there somewhere. Maybe something about illegal immigrants too. Can’t quite put a paw on it though.

The US is, as a matter of fact, and never has been, a democracy. It has always been a representative republic. Direct democracy as your comment envisions it is very difficult to implement and results in mob rule. If this is something you strongly believe should be stopped, get in touch with your federal senator and congressional representative to make your views known. Call, email, write paper letters, and encourage others to do the same. Make it clear that they won’t be reelected if they allow this to continue. We don’t have lobbying money, but it’s hard to keep taking bribes if they no longer have a position with which to provide a return on that investment.

Legal issues aside, are there any publicly available forks of the repo?

I don’t have gendered restrooms in my house and people seem to navigate those just fine. I feel like it would work for public restrooms too.

It’s almost like the views of the population of an entire country can’t be distilled down to a single binary statement. 🤷‍♂️

Piranhas aren’t even the scariest thing in there

Not so sure about that. It’s one of the hardest failures so far. It’ll probably make lists including Atari’s ET and the Ouya for quite a while.

Yep, DLP still uses a mechanical color wheel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_light_processing?wprov=sfla1

I feel like in this case it’s more like everyone gets sold i9 hardware, but can choose to pay the i3 price for it with locked out features, then decide later to pay the subscription to unlock the i7 or i9 performance. It has advantages for the manufacturer in that there are fewer options to account for at build time and additional revenue later on. I still think it’s a terrible model that should be summarily rejected by customers, but I see why they are trying it.
