I just setup an old friend couple new computer with Windows. We lost a full day as the HP printer didn't work (yet worked via Android and my linux laptop without installing absolutely anything), Outlook doesn't save passwords (so we moved to Thunderbird), chrome is a mess (so we moved to Firefox + unlock origin), Microsoft excel is incredibly expensive and refused to open the only spreadsheet they needed (so me moved to libreoffice)...

A fucking nightmare. And everything worked fine with FOSS or on my laptop.

Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.

She weighted 2 kilos more than allowed the day before, putting her over 50, even almost making it to 53 which would be 2 weight classes over.

They put her in dehydration, diet, "trash bag" running to get all sweat out, a Sauna in the morning of the weight-in (but she wasn't sweating anymore), they removed blood from her, and as a last measure, cut her hair.

She failed.

She needed IV injections right after the moment of the weight-in by the committee. She then was hospitalized and remains hospitalized. It seems that luckily she is fine.

Disqualification is there to prevent countries pushing their athletes through these ordeals, which have long-term consequences on their health.

Do you have a link?

Conservatism is dead. Climate change is scientifically proven to be catastrophic.

If we do nothing, change will come to us, and fuck up everything. If we elect to change our society and systems, we save ourselves but our way of living changes.

One way or another there's change. There's nothing to conserve. Stop yelling and kicking like an irrational kid trying to save conservatism and crony capitalism.

If it was truly opt-in, it could be an extension. They should not be bundling this with the browser, bloating it more in the process.

The extension API doesn't have enough access for this.

You technically can run your own local AI, but they hook up to the big data-hungry ones out of the box.

While it is opt-in and disabled by default, this is the real problem.

The code needs to maintain the copyrights and authors. They are "mirroring" usernames into their own domain, with mails that dont correspond to the original authors, stealing their contributions.

You are right, thanks! Edited

Climate change is real. We either do nothing and everything changes, or we change our way of living to save humanity. Either way, change is coming.

There's nothing to conserve. Conservatism doesn't have a ground in facts & reality, if it ever had. Hence conservatism now fights fanatically for its own survival, and capitalism survival, at the ~~behest~~ cost of all us, the progress that humanity has achieved so far, and the planet that we all share.

Still low, my lineageos phone is going 8 years and is on latest android (and the device wasn't new when I bought it).

In my experience It's not about a project plan for features, but actually doings things correctly instead of doing the minimum to finish what you need to do on the current sprint.
