We were already participating in WW2 before Pearl Harbor. Lend-Lease was packing the UK chock full o' guns, food, and oil. The "Arsenal of Democracy" speech was 1940.
I like "heat pump". It's a very nice ELI5 name. It's a pump for heat. A water pump takes water and forces it to where it wouldn't go naturally. A heat pump does the same.
Those aren't the stereotypes that comes to mind for the worst Florida has to offer. More like old retired Boomers and upper middle class culture warriors who thought DeSantis' Covid denial was a great idea. But I didn't take a census or anything.
It's a modern take on the Pidgin concept. Pidgin ran locally on one computer and didn't sync anything between any of your other Pidgin installs. Also, your login details for every account were usually in plaintext on disk. In practice, it feels
Beeper (really Matrix + bridges) is a network service that you can access with a browser, mobile app, whatever.
Ugh, sounds like some of my coworkers and MacBooks. Then you discover that MacBooks are seriously crippled compared to the Linux machine you were using and you get told one of:
- "What do you mean by $feature? I've never heard of that."
- "Why would you want to do that?"
- Run a badly performing Linux VM in a janky hypervisor to do that
- Pay $10 for this little 3rd party app to fix the problem
Throw in some serious RSI pain from that tire fire of a keyboard and yeah, I have no idea why I switched.
Edit: Work machine. No way I'd pay for Apple with my own money.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. No, you did not make the attack.
However, it seems that things like "Your kulak grandparents deserved to die" are accepted and supported on Hexbear, as long as it doesn't draw undue attention. Except your user forget their "time and place" for airing the dirty laundry. This garbage is not a free exchange of ideas; this a few steps away from actually beheading the non-believers. Just as I would support defederating from other extermist hate instances, Hexbear needs to go.
And then to just throw in another comment:
ChestRockwell: when I say “landlords are evil and deserve to die or surrender their assets to the collective” what I’m describing is a particular set of actions. It’s not different from having an opinion on if murderers deserve capital punishment.
I see absolutely zero value in this "other viewpoint". There is really no legitimate debate here.
You need to do a much better job taking out your trash than this. Chiding him for saying the quiet part out loud is basically saying you should be defederated as a hate instance.
The real problem in Massachusetts is that the Staties were getting paid OT for traffic details when they were actually asleep in bed.
I bet people got super upset when they heard what replacement parts cost. Also, these e-bikes are heavy AF. No way you could just put them on the work stand.
Should be easy to differentiate. 2016 was the Touchbar year, born from macOS' continued toxic relationship with keyboard shortcuts.
In my experience, 2016 also marked when MBP keyboards got extraordinarily painful as the key travel is like 0.5mm and it felt like typing on a glass plate.
I can't be the only one waiting to see more "real people" reviews of production units before plunking down money. I don't upgrade laptops frequently and I don't want to buy something buggy (i.e. Linux compatibility for wifi, ACPI, battery life, etc).
And while I'm waiting, I haven't looked into a good answer to the USB-C dock story for the AMD versions. I see a lot of ambiguous statements about USB4 "being Thunderbolt" but not a lot of concrete statements on compatibility and capability.

"Old nerds" were ostracized in school. They got started in tech when it was about coding and tech being fun; there was no crazy money in it. Even the dotcom boom can't hold a candle to the salaries and status swirling around now. It's a different attitude and I think it shows in how you approach work and the workplace.
Ageism is a serious topic in tech and I wonder how each generation will be viewed. Certainly "greybeards" were considered oracles of wisdom and solid foundations.
