The practical implementation of IP? Sure, that's debatable. But the concept of IP is rooted in favoring progress. The thought process being, that if one's intellectual work can be copied and reused and modified and what not without issues, why should anyone invent things anymore? Just wait for the next person to do it and then copy their work, that's way less effort than inventing things yourself. IP aims to protect progress by making sure inventors have actual incentive to invent stuff. They way it's implemented is fundamentalst flawed, I agree, but the concept itself? I'm not so clear on that
We already don't. We want the Americans to pack up their bases and fuck off. Ami, go home! They've done enough work to stir up chaos and war all over the planet in the last 7 decades.
Did you even try to read and understand the parent comment? They said they regularly run out of quota on the exact subscription you're advising they subscribe to.
Same here! But I recently switched from ncmpcpp to rmpc, which is a much more modern client! A lot more (easily) customizable compared to ncmpcpp as well.
The Wind Rises is my favorite Ghibli, something about it just draws me in like no other. Don't get me wrong, I love Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away like the next person, but The Wind Rises is special to me.
What's not working for you? I have only used Discord a handful of times since switching to wayland and nothing egregious stood out. In fact, I had way no issues at all when I had tons back on X11 with Discord. Could very well be due to my low Discord usage until now though :)
One major issue with transportation in the Martian environment is the extremely abrasive dust and the sharp rocks. Pretty much every rover has had the issue that the wheels deteriorate very quickly and dust gets into every nook and cranny, eventuelly destroying important movement-related mechanisms. As to their movement speed, that's mostly down to the movement being manually commanded and with the light delay of about 20 mins (one-way), you can only command the rover to go so far before involuntarily hitting an object.
Not sure about QTile but I'm using swaywm on Fedora 43, it's a delight to use! I am using a mix of sway and hyprland utensils for everything and I couldn't be happier. Wayland on Fedora is a no-brainer, fixed so many annoyances after moving from X.
Can't say that's entirely true for me ('02). If my [ employer, supervisor, ... ] provides me with logical, traceable tasks with their context properly laid out, I can totally put a ton of effort into providing meticulous, well thought out solutions, that are as good as it gets under the provided constraints. It's the non-sensical (be it actually non-sensical or just not understood enough because of unprovided context) tasks that make me not care.
The German metro area "Rheinland" has a population of 8.7 million people across 12 thousand square kilometers.
~700/sqkm vs the 240/sqkm population density of Atlanta metro. Train and metro travel in this metrk area is extremely convenient and fast. It's not that Atlanta (or anywhere else in the United States for that matter) couldn't do it because of vastness, there's just no political and societal will behind this idea. In a society that glamorizes everyone driving the biggest trucks and carrying the largest rifles, of course convenient train systems are "not feasible".
Does it matter? Apple paid around 300 million pounds of corporation tax in 2024. If the UK poses a landmark penalty of say 50 or 100 billion pounds, thats 167x or 333x the annual corporation tax paid by Apple in the UK.
When have we given up on expecting journalists to do their jobs and write articles worthy of being read and containing actual information? If I wanted to read blubberish I'd go read some AI slop but if an article is written by a human I have some base expectation of it providing a modicum of value to me. Even more so if it reaches the HN frontpage.
The whole imperial/British side has tons of ugly and weird units of measure. Reading old engineering documentation will give you headaches and nightmares from all the inconsistent systems of units.
The irony stems from the fact workers are fired due to being 'replaced' by AI only to then be re-hired afterwards to clean up the slop, thus maximizing costs to the business!
That's the kind if short-sighted view that's the root issue in a ton of enshittification happening around: the belief that short-term gains or benefits are all it's about. It's not sustainable to leech off of wikipedia content to fuel your own (ad in Google's) knowledge pop-ups, even if it benefits the user in that they save a single click, because that means long-term wikipedia will die out because users no longer associate the knowledge gained with wikipedia but with Google even though they had nothing to do with it apart from "stealing it".
I'm using Collections in darktable to achieve this. Have you tried it? Although I don't distinguish on an event basis I sort everything into folders by month.
