Some people just can't be helped. But it will affect thinking population.

Does this mean the creator of the Python language is a Microsoft employee now?

Yes, he is employed by Microsoft now. He did step down from Python as BDFL in 2018.

Further, does this mean that Python in spreadsheets only works in the cloud MS Office?

It's not technically limited to only Microsoft Cloud, but Azure-powered services, but it's kind of the same.

Implications from the patent being granted are yet to be seen, but it's not looking good. It will severely limit external tools if MS decides to enforce the patent.

Honestly, it's not a bad thing. People were used to believe every single thing they saw. Now they are forced to verify information or least stop and think if it's true.

Her unique talents are expected to be utilized within the Israel Defense Forces, where she is likely to serve as a performer, showcasing her musical abilities for fellow soldiers as part of the military’s cadre of exceptional artists.

Indeed.

Bulbapedo a combination of "bulbapedia" and "torpedoes" or "pedophile".

Lizakbar is a combination of the words lizard and Akbar, from the Arabic phrase Allahu akbar, which translates as "God is great" or "God is magnificent". Allahu akbar has been used as a battle cry for Muslims for as far back as the Crusades. However, in this case, it is associated with Islamic extremist terrorists, who have been known to shout the phrase before a suicide bombing.

You are correct. I got distracted and forgot that the article was talking about office work.

In this case, non-competes prevent people from quitting and switching the job. Also, people forget, that a lot of office workers moved to live outside the city center after the pandemic, so now having to commute is a lot more than mere inconvenience.

While that makes sense in big cities, in more rural areas Amazon either bought out or bankrupted all competition, so there are no job alternatives. Had a brain fart moment.

That is just the legal requirement for federal jurisdiction. Plaintiff will be able to argue for damages later on.

Does anyone even care about Windows Apps at this point?

“Anyone present in this area after this time will be considered a terrorist,” the leaflet read in Arabic.

You heard it here first, leaflets is all you need to justify killing civilians on mass. Other countries were doing it wrong all along.

No audit, no 2FA, no transparency report, limited servers, proprietary clients. There are better options.

If he wanted, he could have just open sourced the game, but chose not to.

EU usually uses EU Solidarity Fund for natural disasters. I'm not aware of any donations drives by people or humanitarian organizations live at the moment.

https://www.globalgiving.org always has worthwhile projects you can support or promote.

I was in the middle of the response when I remembered that it's a common enough question that I can just link the article that will explain it better than me.

I stated my opinion and linked to the article that supports that assertion. If Russia was unhappy with that "claim" they could have refuted it by a simple image or video, which they didn't do.

Do you have any Russian sources to corroborate this?

Lack of refuting from Russia is confirmation of that being the case in my eyes. If you need a detailed response from Russia's spokesperson, then there isn't one.

This is the only program that I wasn't able to find a good open source alternative. Stuck with using XYplorer.

Open source alternatives are either stuck in 1990 or lack basic features.

Companies are always crying that governments are interfering in their business, but when workers stand up for themselves, they beg the governments to intervene. Pathetic really.

They actually don't use the fund to subsidize it. And many policies were added overtime, which any managed economy should be able to do.

The Norwegian EV incentives:

Works fine on my end with uBlock Origin. But you can try archived version: https://archive.ph/WlM0e

Very unlikely. There was a possibility early on that Putin would decide to go out with a fiery bang of glory, but time passed and nothing happened. He might threaten use of nukes, but won't actually use them for fear of retaliation. The whole fucking point of nuclear weapons was deterrence until the brain-dead US decided to actually use them. One can hope the world learned their lesson.

If the goal is bringing back players, it's definitely not the approach I would have taken. If the goal is to just continue milking the existing user base, then it will have no effect.

I don't think this is even the craziest stuff he's done. Both brothers are crazy.

2 single-rank RAM slots.

I noticed this today too, no idea what is going on. Need to reach out to the instance admin, since it's only happening on my instance as far as I can see.

It'd be one thing if X didn't actively promote disinformation but they are doing that. They're picking what and who to promote via their algorithm.

That's the argument being revisited in US courts right now. If you choose to promote something, you are doing the editorializing and shouldn't be protected under Section 230. And with how much a certain party hates the whole section, it's likely to get struck or limited if it ever reaches the Supreme Court. That irony would be lovely.

If they had a hands-off approach to free speech (like any given Mastodon instance) I'd agree with you.

Just to be clear, Mastodon doesn't have "hands-off approach to free speech". Each instance has clear rules around what they allow and don't allow. Just the federated nature of it prevents censorship, so all opinions can be heard.

Phew, I was imagining a closet of drives. NAS is great.

Cold storage is always controversial as you are storing it on someone else's hardware, but it is by far the most cost-effective option. Just a single month's electricity cost in some places can match years of cold storage.

Using both of course is recommended, as cold storage acts as another backup vector in case your own storage ever gets catastrophic failure due to fire or flooding. 3-2-1 rule and all. But cost is always a factor in people using the best practices.

Seems you are right. I don't use YouTube native clients, so never actually ran into the issue. Updated my original comment.

The existing apps will still work for the time being, but they won't be able to be updated.

NAS is another option instead of relying on random assortment of drives.

But it's most cost-effective to use cold storage like Backblaze if you don't need to access that data and just want to archive it.

I'm not too familiar with different TV OS, but even just DNS blocking would still work for that. DNS blacklists are not enough to block ads on native clients, as they are being served from the same domain.

If they start embedding ads into the stream, then it will have to move to SponsorBlock style community blocking, but technically still viable.

It is. Magnetic tape is still king.

They haven't ruled out other possibilities, but they found a link that suggest it's possible. More studies are needed.

Extreme stress is already associated with cerebral cortex thinning, but just that alone doesn't match the previous projections and studies.

We learned from a long history of self-governance that corporations always look out for the random people... oh wait...
