Logi

Does it count if you know the thing it’s known for but not that it’s a place?

The EU has declared Twitter and a few others to be gate-keepers and they will now be held to a higher standard. But I don’t think the EU is going to use this power to save US democracy.

They are covered by the “one of” part of the sentence. And the current Greek democratic system is not old in the sense that the US system is old.

Greek democracy has also been far from continuous, if we want to take that into account.

I only git as far as SNCF, the French railway company. Just a transposition and a single pen stroke away.

Well played

Don’t forget the sticky bit and chown root for extra convenience!

You can probably update the, search url template for Google in the Firefox settings to go to the Web tab. Or make a new one and make it default.

It was. I think I used CDE very briefly on some Sun workstations back around the kde 1.x times. But lowly undergrads mostly got ttys and not X terminals.

Yeah, that would work.

Is gnome claiming to be older than kde? 'cause it isn’t. Gnome was started because decades ago, the license for the qt library used by kde wasn’t quite open enough.

There is zero chance that they’ll just build from the latest main branch and release that tomorrow. Or that whatever build they make goes directly to general distribution.

They’ll make a build from the last release plus this patch and send it to a few customers who have complained. Then they’ll think about making a release with this and perhaps other bug fixes.

Ranked choice or proportional representation of any sort. The election system us finely tuned to be the most divisive possible.

My annual run through of Jesus Christ Superstar, the studio version with Ian Gillan as Jesus.

Is it viewed as Abad thing to be in that group?

Who cares!

Sounds delightful

Amen!

Probably depends also on the range of your weapons. The faster ship might not be able to ram the more nimble ship but could get close enough to launch a missile.

then stretch the shit out of them.

Just be careful. There is such a thing as over stretching. I fucked up my knees stretching after a hot yoga session and could barely walk for a couple of years.

Everything in moderation.

Well, that was certainly decisive.

It sounds like someone needs to bring a similar suit in the EU and point to the GDPR. Where is the agreement to specific processing, the chance to opt out of the data collection, etc.

Short form is used in English only and was reluctantly adopted outside of the US since the 'mericans weren’t going to budge. Any science done in other languages uses the more logical form. I’ve done it myself in 3 of them. And it’s weird how I fluently translate between American billion and international milliard or American trillion and international billion. But I’m sure there is going to be a rocket blown up over this at some point.

Why more logical? Billion, prefix bi for 2 is million squared. Trillion, prefix tri for 3 is million cubed. Septillion, prefix sep for 7 is? Honestly, though, at the end of the day it doesn’t matter that much. It’s just grating that were being yanked backwards. However slightly. And yes, that pun was intentional.

Sure, the US didn’t come up with the imperial measuring system but everyone else has moved on. Miles were used by the Romans but were they the same miles? Everyone had their own foot… the story about Napoleon being short was simply that he was measured in French feet and they were longer than English feet so he amounted to fewer of them. I guess it’s slightly better now that there is only one set* of archaic pre-enlightenment units in play :shrug:

*having said all that, some of the US measurements don’t quite coincide with the UK ones but I can’t remember any if those details. But it’ll probably kill a other rocket too.

PS I dare you to look up the Swedish mile.

Only in English is this weird naming system used and originally only in American English. You can put it in the pile over there with the miles and pounds and other oddities.

Other languages have milliard between million and billion, billiard after billion etc.
