Edit 2: According to Randall Munroe (to lazy to find the source), you could theoretically store one word letter per bit. That would give us up to ten two million books.

I don’t see how that is possible, I think it is be one letter per byte.

Bit only represents one state 1 or 0, or true or false. It is too little information to store a letter.

The biggest problem with communism is not the socialism, it is the totalitarism that is required for it to function. And that’s the part that kills people.

Now that Russia and China aren’t even communist, it clearly shows what they are truly after.

LOL I see now. Thanks. Looks like my issue is not caring about both franchises.

I don’t get it (maybe because of the potato quality)

So in my case, something broke with intune. I was told to use office.com for time being.

While that works, when I tried to call it told me that I should use chrome or edge.

This goes with other changes they did to chromium. Google claims it is to prevent bots, but it really is a crackdown on ads blocking and any other “tampering” with their websites.

If you care about keeping web free, you should stop using chrome and its derivatives and switch to Firefox. They are believing that Firefox user base is low and websites can simply exclude FF and force it to implement it as well.

Exactly, nothing changed about them.

This week I learned that online version Microsoft Teams outright refuses to make calls of it runs on Firefox. They are doing the same exact shit they did two decades ago.

And then you notice your caps lock was on.

Lemmmygrad supposedly is for people who support communism, but when talking to them, they really are supporting totalitarian countries which have nothing to do with communism.

The link doesn’t work, how about posting the text of the article?

The thing is that often those people created that climate. This was the case with hitler and today similar thing is being done with trump.

To be fair, how can you be in legal troubles if your best buddy is deciding if you get charged or not?

Yeah, I’m not holding my breath, it is possible that he could stil avoid jail, but at least now there’s a real chance he could end up in one.

Of course not. Putting the coin the other way could break the machine and then you won’t get anything.

The way it works is if you place 2$ you get the chocolate flavored condoms, but if you instead put 2$ then you get the Asian condoms.

So there is a Japanese condom brand called Kimono. They are one of the thinnest (latex) condoms in the world. The dispenser also says about thin so maybe that’s it.

Though since they don’t list brand, perhaps you are right, or they rely on people hearing something about it, but not knowing the brand and instead selling them some cheap chinese crap from alibaba.

Sorry I didn’t really pay attention to the numbers, but willing to believe CA would have it higher than NY just purely, because of the weather. Yeah, it is ridiculous.

The point is that he explicitly makes this hard. That’s why he is a twat. The issue is that some applications (especially graphical) do get heavily integrated with it which makes it also hard to port them.

The labels are there to encourage businesses to seek different formulations, as product with labels will sell worse than one without.

The enforcement is done via civil suit so placing label that makes it hard for ordinary person to reasonably avoid exposure won’t fly in court with jurors being those same people.

Ok so you made me check. None of ceramic cups I have in my cupboard has this warning.

I see it is still listed: https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/chemicals/ceramic-fibers-airborne-particles-respirable-size

So either these companies are violation of the law or (more likely) their product to comply.

Also keep in mind that prop 65’s name is: The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986

One of the main goals is to protect our water from pollution, which even if the cups aren’t carcinogenic when aren’t broken the use of the chemical to produce it will likely end up in water due to production process. Also the chemical will be exposed to the environment once the cup is tossed away (especially after it breaks)

Honestly, systemd isn’t bad, because a one concrete program will always be more reliable than bunch of bash scripts tied with rubber bands and bubble gum, but Poettering is a twat by making it (purposefully) non portable.
