I remember cities moving onto open source and than thanks for lobbyists moving back to proprietary software again.
What you remember is the news cycle covering the City of Munich switching from Windows to Linux, then another news cycle about how they're moving back to Windows.
What didn't get much coverage though, is that Microsoft did a (suspected under-table) deal with the outgoing government to switch back to Windows if Microsoft built an office in Munich.
What then happened is the new government came in, looked at the situation, and cancelled it (although MS may have built that office always). Right now Munich is still using Linux and still actively rolling it out.
Last I'd heard other options either didn't have infrastructure to charge vehicles on long trips
Literally isn't an issue going forward. Other EVs can use Tesla chargers.
I think I side with the people saying use it anyway. Video hosting is hard, and YouTube is more enshittified every day.
Ya, I've been trying out YouTube alternatives, because YouTube/Google are just awful. I just have no idea where to land, but the Greyjay app is really helping with that.
Odysee and Rumble are the platforms that wackjobs (like flat earthers) have flocked to in the past year or so.
Those platforms aren't promoting that content per se, it's just that such content isn't moderated like on YouTube and Facebook. And before you say "but there's tons of that stuff on YouTube and Facebook already!" it doesn't compare.
Nothing official. Mostly speculation, but not illogical idle ones.
But it could also be for legal reasons, like websites where you can post stuff for everybody to see, in case you post something highly illegal and the authorities need to find you. Another example is where a webshop is required to keep a copy of your data for their bookkeeping.
None of these require your account to "exist". There could simply be an acknowledgement stating those reasons with "after X days the data will be deleted, and xyz will be archived for legal reasons".
Mostly it's 30-90 days where they keep your data, just in case somebody else decided to delete your account or you were drunk or something
This is the only valid reason. But even then this could be stated so that the user is fully aware. Then an email one week and another one day before deletion as a reminder, and a final confirmation after the fact. I've used services before that do this. It's done well and appreciated.
This pseudo-deletion shadow account stuff is annoying.
What the user was doing is that they don't trust that the system truly deleted the account, and they worry it was just deactivated (while claiming it was "deleted"). So they tried to do a password recovery which often reactivates a falsely "deleted" account.
I've done this before and had to message the company and have them confirm the account is entirely deleted.
I don't glow in the dark, I'm just pretty much see-through. I also burn in a matter of minutes in the sun.
Who uses a tuner these days?
Anyone who uses an antenna. There's a bunch of decent channels, like the news, you can get with an OTA antenna.
Modern TV signal is just via Ethernet
No. What you just described is "modern cable TV". OTA channels are digital signals also.
The level of inaccuracy in a regular clock resulting in drift is orders of magnitude greater than any amount of time dilation you would experience.
This is the reason we use extremely high precision clocks (like atomic clocks) and then synchronize everything else with them. Even your phone's clock would drift noticeably over a period of a few months if it never synced with some network server.
The NTP protocol exists precisely for this. There are entire companies that specialize in providing and maintaining synchronized wall clocks for facilities like hospitals, schools, and other organizations.
That would be just a monitor, wouldn't it?
No. The distinguishing feature between a monitor and a TV is that a TV has a tuner built into it.
There are other things like the variety of inputs and screen position settings on monitors, but those are mostly minor.
I don't like btrfs, cause you still sometimes read about people loosing their data.
That was only on RAID setups. So if you have only a singular disk, as opposed to an array, you're fine. And that issue has been fixed for a while now anyways.
I've been running btrfs on my laptop's root partition for well over a year now and it's fine.
Exactly! Kevin he ain't got no fire, no energy, no nothing. Ya know we have a show to run here, right? So it must pop Pop POP! So the next time you want to cast Kevin would you PAH-LEASE go for Chris Tucker to make it green? mKay? It must be GREEN.
Now you used a lot of big words, and because I don't understand them imma take them as disrespect.
It's a "currency" you can't spend anywhere
Lol
It's only purpose is a pump and dump scheme for early adopters.
This is exactly what many alt-coins are but Bitcoin is decidedly not.
You're confusing "easy to mine" with "early adopter scam".
I wouldn't argue with that. I was mostly generalizing.
These guys did everything wrong, and one of them nearly died in the process. Thankfully he walked away just fine.
I'm sure we all know about the low audience scores given to The Acolyte. Rotten Tomatoes was sitting down at 14% since around the third episode, and was that low up until at least the last episode. Now that it's nearly a week out from the season finale, I figured I'd take another look.
The Rotten Tomatoes score has gone up to 17% and other review platforms have gone up a bit also.
So I decided to read through a few of the recent ones. Here are two examples:
The showrunners accuse fans of "review bombing" but are apparently just fine with artificial review boosting. I saw a bunch of these double reviews and nearly every single one talked about things like diversity, a "fresh take", production values, etc, all in that typical bland corporate-speech type of language.
Whereas the negative reviews are detailed and specific without ever getting into racism, bigotry, sexism, or other things fans are often accused of. If you read through the negative reviews they are often well thought out criticisms of the story itself and the quality of acting.
I just wanted to bring this fake review boosting to the community's attention. If you enjoyed the show, that's awesome. But it's dishonest to dilute honest and fair criticisms of a show.
Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some input on my pepper plants. Last year all my vegetable plants were explosive in growth and produce. This year they've been a bit stressed by the early heat we've had (southern Ontario) but otherwise doing well. Everything from cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, garlic, and onions are doing well.
My pepper plants, on the other hand, look terrible.

Initially I thought they were just extremely stressed from the heat, but I noticed a few of them (not pictured) are doing fine. What clicked in my head today is that the ones that are doing ok I grew from seed, and the rest are from garden centres (a semi-private one and a commercial one).
From my zero-level knowledge and subsequent Googling the answer is:
- Too much heat
- Too much water
- Too little water
- Exposure to herbicide
It's the last one that really raised my eyebrows, and seems to fit based on photos.
Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks in advance.
