For anyone who doesn’t read the article, the biases shown in the thumbnail are not the final result. After doing a million runs, every digit had close to the same probability of appearing.

Set up a cheap VPS on DigitalOcean or the like, and run a Tailscale exit node. Put Tailscale on your devices at home (or get a 2nd router that allows you to run Tailscale on it) and join them to the same Tailnet. That’s the easiest way to accomplish this without getting too far into the weeds.

I started using eM Client for mail on Windows, and its calendar integration is pretty decent too. It’s paid software, but you only have to pay once.

Because you turned a completely innocuous discussion about nude beaches into an unhinged rant about sexualizing children. Nudity does not inherently mean sexual.

A short comment like “yeah I don’t know how I’d feel about children at a nude beach” would have been fine, but the extent to which you’re talking about it comes off as creepy and projecting.

Very long read and it fucked me up for the rest of the day, but well worth it.

You could have definitely gotten a longer interface name for that one example. enp0s31f6mon might be a good one lol

That’s sad :( I use a TRIGA at work and they’re great little reactors. Hopefully something else has taken its place before this one was shut down.

I’m very aware. I was asking why the process takes longer than the steps I described, not for people to passively aggressively state the obvious. An ex pharmacy employee gave a very well written explanation above.

Wow, that is a lot more manual work than I expected. You have to rewrite the directions too? I imagined the prescribing doctor would do that, then all you have to do is look up the order on the computer and print out the label.

Thank you for the explanation, the whole process seems like it could be made more efficient.

I don’t understand how it can possibly take 2 hours to count a couple dozen pills, throw them in an orange tube, and slap a label on it. Maybe a pharmacy tech can enlighten me here.

I truly do think this is a cool feature, but after seeing all the comments saying stuff like “now there’s ZERO excuse not to use Wayland!”, I felt like it was appropriate to share my perspective as a professional user who uses their computer a little differently than a FOSS enthusiast or hobbyist/casual user. I’m not getting paid to go around submitting bug reports and making PRs, so when things don’t “just work” it can be a big issue.

I’m talking about FOSS software incompatibilities, I don’t have any expectation for mega corporate apps like Discord and Teams to adopt it. Those are a lost cause, I just use the browser versions and pray.

This is cool, but half the software I need to use still doesn’t work on Wayland for some inexplicable reason.

I know this is the responsibility of the software maintainer to fix their compatibility, but as a business user I don’t have time to go around filing detailed bug reports and waiting for the next release when it’s fixed.

The solution for me is to switch back to X11 and move along, then in another year I try Wayland again after installing a new distro. After a few hours I find something that isn’t working on Wayland, rinse and repeat.

I’ve been using iPhone for almost a decade now and I have no issues navigating without a universal back button. If anything, I’d prefer to have that screen real estate rather than a navigation bar glued to the bottom of the screen constantly.

I know it’s a personal preference and if that works for you, it’s not my business to tell you otherwise. I just don’t understand why people talk about the absence of those buttons as if it makes the phone unusable. It’s just a slightly different method of navigating.

It seemed pretty redundant anyways, given they already have a credit card that you can use to finance payments through Apple Pay.

This entire article is a nothingburger from 3 years ago. You’re telling me that the button saying “ask app not to track” still makes it possible for the app to track you? Almost like there’s a difference between the words “ask” and “enforce”? Did you read the article you sent? How is that even in the same universe as installing a keylogger into every Copilot PC by default?

I never claimed Apple is perfect at privacy, I said they are better than the competition.

Apple also has a MUCH better track record relating to user privacy over pretty much every other big tech company.

As temperatures climb, air conditioners – which work by sucking in indoor air, heating it via compressor and then dumping that heat outside

This is not how split units, window units, or central air conditioning units work. The only units that work this way are the notoriously inefficient single hose portable units. How does an article about air conditioning manage to mess this up?

Yeah the first episode was the pig one, this is one of the first few though
