In the dark ages, Mosaic downloaded Firefox and IE. Time truly is a wheel.

Best use of chrome is downloading another browser.

Yeah, the instruction set and the implementation in hardware is absurd at this point.

AMD and Intel have already partnered on killing x64 in the longer run and work is under way.

They could have just illegally cut down the trees like they illegally used too much water, or any of the other things they did against their agreement with the government.

I do realize. I also realize things like weight of the train, cost of the battery packs, the fact those packs will wear and need to be replaced faster than anything else in the system, and much more.

I guess if by a kernel of truth you mean an existing train was used on an existing track, then you could almost make it make sense? But since all of this existed before, it’s just a lie.

I’ll also point out that anybody introducing battery electric trains instead of just electrifying the remaining parts of rail is making an astoundingly bad choice, but that’s almost certainly Germany and not Tesla.

You and I both know someone somewhere was that stupid before Musk. He isn’t even original in what an idiot he is. 😆

It’s also just an outright lie. But, I guess that doesn’t matter anymore.

This doesn’t change anything for starlink, because there’s almost no Brazillian users of starlink. Brazil hasn’t historically cared what foreign business says or does, and they’re much less likely to care about an Elon boondoggle like starlink.

The current democratic party isn’t standing for trans rights any better than anyone else. Perhaps individual politicians are, but the party has a lot of de facto republicans in the ranks. So vote for them or not, they aren’t going to make things better for folks that are trans. They also aren’t ending wars, reducing military spending, helping vulnerable people seeking asylum, helping homeless people, providing free mental healthcare or national healthcare at all, and so on. Hell, they haven’t enshrined abortion rights into law in the past almost 50 years.

People vote for democrats because of tradition and lesser-of-the-evils reasons. That’s it. That’s a shitty place to be, and should embarrass us the voters as well as the party.

Trans rights are human rights, and how you treat anyone in your society is how you treat everyone. Democrats were scared in the '80s and '90s to support gay people for this exact reason, and instead of losing elections they started winning because people realize gay people are people. They lost elections because they weren’t brave enough to stand with the courage of their convictions, and in my opinion that’s what they deserved.

How are they intertwined? Telegram allows public posts and livestreaming, neither of which they moderate. That’s nothing to do with encryption and everything to do with pushing the legal boundaries they knew existed.

Anonymity, no. But content privacy yes. Whether Telegram is actually private or can MITM content is another question entirely.

This is to do with content moderation not encryption.

You’re coming at this from a perspective that suggests people should have alternatives to cars, or maybe even that people deserve alternatives to cars. And that’s fundamentally not how a shocking number of people think. Heaven help you if you suggest things like low cost fares for the poor or even free access to public transit.

I’m amazed that they had a release as late as 2017. I think I stopped using it in 2012 or 2013. A year or two before Ubuntu One was announced to be ending. The app itself was pretty basic, but used an XML format that was in theory very flexible. Having sync built in to Ubuntu was also pretty great. But not supporting images, not being cross platform with my phone, it all sort of fell out of favor with me.

Anyway, good luck with Obsidian.

I migrated from an app called Tomboy forever ago to Evernote, then from Evernote to Google Keep and Google Dogs which sucked because it was completely manual. Then I converted from Keep and Docs to Obsidian a couple years ago. Moving from Keep to Obsidian was fairly easy because of Google Takeout, now made much easier with plugins. Converting from Docs was a somewhat manual process, but I’ve basically got it done. Anything remaining in Google Docs is now an actual document rather than notes.

My ancient Evernote content was re-imported this year using a plugin and put into an Archive folder. Since there were a lot of bookmarks stored in there, it’s somewhat handy to have it in an archive folder because I’ll see it in search results. Importing the images and whatnot was helpful too, because the initial move to Keep lost a ton of formatting and content alignment.

There is a community plugin named “Importer” that works pretty well, and you should take a look at it. To force the issue of cleanup, I like to have a property assigned to notes for cleaned up or summarized so I can use a dataview to search for notes missing that property or with the property set to false/empty. That way I can go back at my leisure to clean up, summarize, tag, link, etc.

Normal as in the existence of a coupon doesn’t determine if I fulfill my needs at a store.

I shop for convenience and brands I prefer. One store has some items I prefer over the others. That’s to say I shop like a normal person.
