Well, if the government heavily taxed everything above like 100 million $$$, then the money would flow back into the economy, which it obviously doesn’t while being sat on by pathologic hoarders.

It’s probably also an attempt to dominate a woman by trying to force her into doing what he wants.

The thick plastic player with the ridges is pretty resilient, but above that is a reflective layer for the laser, and a protective lacquer layer (often printed on). If those layers get damaged and delaminate due to harsh handling, UV / heat, and / or moisture getting between them then the laser will have difficulties focusing and thus reading a disc.

Should still last years in such an exposed public free library setting where long-term preservation is probably not a goal, and get way more use out of them than sitting in personal closets where they’d last longer.

The CxU (among others) is working on making those clowns a viable coalition partner by taking them seriously and talking to them on TV. Maybe that’s not their intention, but it will be the result if it continues.

There are so many things to be concerned about in the world

That’s exactly it. Present day conservatives don’t have any solutions to current problems, so they have to make up a boogieman that has to take the blame for all that is wrong in the world (instead of the actual causes) and that only they can save their followers from (because everyone else is already “indoctrinated”.) Anything that’s against “traditions” is a good target (often a minority that’s starting to get treated in a more equal way.)

I don’t see any option in 1.2.13, and https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/issues/190 suggests it isn’t implemented yet.

Can it show each core’s frequency? Or is there anything other than htop that can do that?

become complacent about solving the primary problems

We have been complacent about solving the primary problems for decades. At this point we should be doing all we can, and if a way to combat the symptoms gives us more time to finally get our shit together and do something useful before everyone turns into doomers giving up because it’s too late anyway then I think that’s a good thing.

Nice anti-AMD framing so shortly after that latest Zen2 vulnerability.

Somewhat shortened translation:

This mainly refers to jawg.io, the commercial cloud service that serves the basic map. The map itself is 100% OSM data, but the service isn’t free. OSM themselves don’t offer a vector tile server, not even for editors.

Also, F-Droid gives every app with a hard-coded network dependency the NonFreeNet flag, including e.g. api.openstreetmap.org.

They’re discussing a new anti-feature like SiloedNet for such cases, because at the moment NonFreeNet is pretty useless, e.g. a Wikipedia reader gets that flag too.
