I have the second one, it takes about 2 minutes to make a cup of espresso, most of the time unattended, I’ve had it for 15 years, and yeah, it took some time to learn how to use at first.

I also use Debian, not Gentoo…

Apparently, a fan recently converting into hating (hating everybody). He posted quite a lot of craziness before filling a car with explosives and trying to blow something up.

AFAIK, the first one was written in LISP.

The one most people push around here was written in Rust. It’s a really great language to write memory managers anyway.

You want to know if they are protected by something like copyrights?

AFAIK, those two are not, but you’ll get a useful answer if you look at their terms of use.

You can’t copyright a color palette or a design idea, but in principle you can violate trademarks or design patents by copying those two. Again, AFAIK, not the examples you posted, but in general those things could be protected.

Oh, it’s been a while that my rm -r * .o taught me about backups.

Any new alternative on international settlements is welcome…

But the main BRICS countries have been creating new payment methods for a while now, with a few successes. So, what is he talking about?

Ouch. That’s a notch better than proposals of perpetual motion machines.

Electron bottle is a concept that exists. Physicists do design them. Somebody made a joke about it already, but mainly for fusion reactors and high-energy physics. It’s a simple concept in theory, but electrons will really push against being together in a box.

Anyway, what your comment is trying to get is a capacitor. Not an electron bottle. You will notice if you keep adding details.

Reflection chambers are also a concept that exists. Although the only application of them that I know of is to make lasers. Anyway, you got that point about not looking at them right!

But no, you can’t rely on photons colliding with each other.

All of that happens the exact opposite way when you compare Writer with Word.

And Presenter compared to Power Point has the clear answer that you shouldn’t use either.

Either way, Excel is the one good piece of software in MS Office. Has always been, and I don’t expect it to change in the future. (Except maybe if they decide to make Excel bad.) But that’s only as long as it always corrupting anything mildly complex doesn’t bother you.

Has anybody actually looked at the paper instead of reacting to The Guardian’s reaction?

Because as bad as the Nobel Prize Committee is at their job, that doesn’t look like something you would find in one.

You don’t see the relation between those?

for the less intelligent folks

Yeah, ok.

Global warming doesn’t care if you like the news or not.

I fully expect people to keep using a broken Xorg, not move into wayland, and not fork and keep it updated.

But the devs are free to do whatever they want. No opinions there. I wouldn’t want to maintain Xorg either.

He’s publicly accusing Israel of supporting Trump. He didn’t publicly accuse them of anything before that.

There has been a change in what he says.

But yeah, still nothing on what he does.

The US has been pushing a few news on their propaganda machines trying to distance themselves from Israel. I don’t think they’ll go all-in into a war.

Up to yesterday, no.

I don’t know what they are up to today.

My country banned X a couple of weeks ago, and up to now I missed a cool shitpost map.

The nightmare scenario is it being caused by something even more insidious and omnipresent than microplastics. The second nightmare scenario is microplastics.

Coal mining releases a great deal of methane and other green-house gasses. It’s not clear whether it’s more or less than the LPG entire chain.

A serious paper would compare the entire picture of both. Or at least look at one and refrain from opining about the other.

It’s stated right there on the paper’s abstract.
