Add clarinet reeds to that. That feeling of wood against teeth… great, now I’ll have shivers down my spine all day from thinking about it.

Agreed, it’s the idea embedded in the text which is the meme. The text is just a carrier.

for Australia at least it seems pretty dire great and continuing to worsen improve.

FTFY, as that’s what your numbers show.

7zip is good but the UI is shit.

It’s also not a commonly-used term. “AI authentication” mostly refers to using machine-learning AI as an authentication method (eg image recognition, behavior observation, etc.)

This sounds more like just “fact checking”.

Why on earth would a journalist need to have input on authentication tools??

Surely this would be more suited for a cybersecurity expert?

Not that I’d trust an AI-based authentication system anyway.

Oh?

How do you digitize a DVD when it’s already digital?

They’re pricy but not beyond the pale for an obscure theme and very overproduced components.

A lot of licensed board games are kinda shit but I’ll hold out a bit of hope.

Literally 1984

I don’t think people quite understood what it actually meant until recently, and thought it meant just “knowing the truth while fully embracing a fiction”.

*Kirk shame

the entire population of USA, that chose to vote for the obvious psychopath

lolwut? You think his election was unanimous?

My nuncle has an eke name.

It should be public domain, but sadly it is not. Authors life + 75 years, 95 years from publication, or 120 years from creation.

Sure… of course they can be dangerous.

But that’s why you get pushback when you complain about “e-bikes”: there’s a big difference in the danger and you paint with too broad a brush.

Mass and speed make all the difference and there’s an order of magnitude difference to an e-moto:

• acoustic bike (10 kg, 20 km/h = 29 kN)
• e-bike (20 kg, 30 km/h = 73 kN)
• small e-moto (60 kg, 55 km/h = 340 kN)

(Assuming 85 kg / 190-lb rider for all cases and typical speeds)

That’s exactly my point: if they can go faster than 28mph they are e-motos not e-bikes.

Sounds to me like most of your complaints are about e-motos, not e-bikes.

I am the Linux folks.

FreeIPA is fine, and I don’t care much about the GPO aspect of Active Directory. But the standardization-by-ubiquity that made it easy for everyone to just follow along and make it so it Just Works has been a godsend.

Yes Microsoft built on the shoulders of giants but trying to make things work with OpenLDAP or the other also-ran directory services was a nightmare.

keywords like fi and esac

But it’s so clever!
