  • The tech producer in general, never cares about the environment, unless it's for cost cutting, then they engage in virtue signalling to mask the cost cutting (i.e. not including chargers with a phone).

    Yet, when the conversation about e-waste comes up, the producer shifts the blame on the buyer for buying too many devices, instead of the producer designing them to become e-waste. If devices where built to be repairable/repurposable, or at least recycled, it would greatly affect e-waste, but they would risk lower earnings.

    In the few instances where a brand delivers a product that is both prestigious and (relatively) too good/lasting to effectively obsolete it at will, then they offer a turn-in service where you send back the old device and get a discount for the new one. This both busts fidelisation and raises prices on the used market, encouraging buying the new device. (I.e. iPhones, vorwerk vacuums).

    Always mind the pattern. You will be less manipulatable.

  • It's because of the anal beads

  • On KDE and on MacOS, if you shake the cursor it becomes larger

  • Sometimes banks give you a PEC address, but it's mostly for communicating with the bank, and you are paying for it as part of the bank's services.

  • PEC is usually not free (neither is fax, but a landline is more common than PEC). But also, I think it's not accepted everywhere. Maybe you can also use posta raccomandata. But for that you must go to the post office in person and wait in line with other 10 pensioners, and it also costs, so you are probably better off just handing the document in person.

  • Probably Italy. All institutions and many households still have a working but unused fax line in Italy (which most photocopiers still support). Many documents can only be transferred either in person or by fax.

    We are not savages, we have low cost multi-gigabit optic-fiber household connections available in the majority of cities. Our bureaucracy is just anachronistic.

  • The alkylated benzene looks like a little bug guy. It has two legs, two arms, and two antennas

  • My grandma was from a richer family (that lost everything before she married grandpa). Her phone number was

    <city code>

    2.

    That is because

    <city code>

    1 was the phone number of the city hall, and no one else could afford a phone.

  • I used to follow a dubbing YouTube channel. Every once in a while they did a video where they lashed out at stupid comments under their videos dubbin it over ztv news.

  • P.S.A. flock cameras do not have 2.4lbs of copper and 0.28oz of gold in each. They actually have 2.4 kilos of copper and 280 grams of gold in each. Just smash one to bits and see for yourself!

  • Fedora desktop (any DE, and most desktop distros, for that matter) uses networkmanager to configure networks, because it is powerful and offers an API for DEs to configure networks, so as long as you have the drivers, networking will work the same. However, If I recall correctly, Gnome and KDE use the same frontend library for networkmanager, just with different GUIs, so they really are going to be the same, and they have for many years. Cosmic being new and rust based might have rolled its own frontend or used a different library, and it might not be as mature as what the other DEs use.

    Try configuring your WiFi manually, editing networkmanager's config files directly, instead of the gui. And see if that work. I would even suggest straight up copying the config files produced by gnome or KDE.

  • Of course. Only the French could do something like that. Hon hon hon baguette

  • I don't think I get it. Is the joke that he came so early you were still exchanging names? Those are oddly specific questions. Or are you like gathering details for a scam?

  • This looks more complex than it needs to be. We can just merge those two IFF soundnesses at the top and remove transitive implications and we are left with a straight line with a couple bifurcations to cul de sacs.

    Also... I only know constructive logics and abstract interpretation with Galois connections... Where do they fit in this? 🥺

  • Things like this remind me of Terry Davis, who wrote a random words generator program and (due to schizophrenia) believed it was God speaking.

  • Is this to measure calories? We did something similar in elementary school, our teacher would light a piece of snack on hanging above an aluminium dish, and we would count for how long it burned. Then we looked at the packaging and the snacks with more calories burned the longest.

  • Stop doing lean! Computers weren't meant to do classic logics!

    Embrace rocq (formerly coq), for pure constructive logic! Plus the syntax is nicer
