Edit 2: According to Randall Munroe (to lazy to find the source), you could theoretically store one word letter per bit. That would give us up to ten two million books.

I don’t see how that is possible, I think it is be one letter per byte.

Bit only represents one state 1 or 0, or true or false. It is too little information to store a letter.

The biggest problem with communism is not the socialism, it is the totalitarism that is required for it to function. And that’s the part that kills people.

Now that Russia and China aren’t even communist, it clearly shows what they are truly after.

LOL I see now. Thanks. Looks like my issue is not caring about both franchises.

I don’t get it (maybe because of the potato quality)

So in my case, something broke with intune. I was told to use office.com for time being.

While that works, when I tried to call it told me that I should use chrome or edge.

This goes with other changes they did to chromium. Google claims it is to prevent bots, but it really is a crackdown on ads blocking and any other “tampering” with their websites.

If you care about keeping web free, you should stop using chrome and its derivatives and switch to Firefox. They are believing that Firefox user base is low and websites can simply exclude FF and force it to implement it as well.

Exactly, nothing changed about them.

This week I learned that online version Microsoft Teams outright refuses to make calls of it runs on Firefox. They are doing the same exact shit they did two decades ago.

And then you notice your caps lock was on.

Lemmmygrad supposedly is for people who support communism, but when talking to them, they really are supporting totalitarian countries which have nothing to do with communism.

The way it works is if you place 2$ you get the chocolate flavored condoms, but if you instead put 2$ then you get the Asian condoms.

So there is a Japanese condom brand called Kimono. They are one of the thinnest (latex) condoms in the world. The dispenser also says about thin so maybe that’s it.

Though since they don’t list brand, perhaps you are right, or they rely on people hearing something about it, but not knowing the brand and instead selling them some cheap chinese crap from alibaba.

The point is that he explicitly makes this hard. That’s why he is a twat. The issue is that some applications (especially graphical) do get heavily integrated with it which makes it also hard to port them.

Honestly, systemd isn’t bad, because a one concrete program will always be more reliable than bunch of bash scripts tied with rubber bands and bubble gum, but Poettering is a twat by making it (purposefully) non portable.

Exactly, from my experience, most of the time (primarily when I need to do something new) I start writing code, when it starts working then I am starting to refractor it so it doesn’t look like crap.

Perhaps TDD would make sense, when before any actual work starts, we would have POC phase to understand what needs to be done.
