Could just rejoin the EU

Yes I have an hp elitedesk mini 800 something G2 which is small (like a thin client), runs kubuntu just fine and can do everything you are asking for. I have a logitech k400 wireless keyboard and trackpad to control it

This got me. I noped out of the article because of it

I have random issues with youtube subtitles in general. I often watch foreign language videos, occasionally for learning. Except sometimes whilst they work in the video’s language, the translations don’t…until I reload the page, or quit the browser. Or on specific computers which never have issues. 🤷‍♂️

https://pronouns.page/ has some good information for pretty much every language.

I always knew it as “the beef walk”

If you need to use adb to set a flag once that’s not too bad I suppose…

Would be amazing to see the x86 “Star Trek” System 7 port, if it actually exists… or the early (pre 10.4) intel versions, which we know exist.

I saw the photo with a person for scale and I thought…why?

Berlin Hbf. They have a single set of toilets about half the size of what you’d get in a shopping center which cost €2 with turnstyle access for a station the size of a cathedral with something like 20 platforms. 🙈

I don’t know why you would want to do that? Just drink less beer?

And you don’t even need to do that. Press “Reject all and subscribe” and then go back in your browser.

I found a personal tutor and I spend an hour with them every week (online). Outside of that I watch YouTube videos (with English subtitles) and practice with friends who I have who know the language too. I have tried Memrise, Duolingo and others in the past and I have made considerably more progress this way.

Basically: find someone who can actually make sure you’re getting something from it and find a good way to practice too

This reminds me of people who used Computer Modern to make it look like they had written their paper using LaTeX to get better marks. It usually worked

Macintosh Pus actually. At least I hope it’s a Plus. If they gutted a 128k or 512k that would be sad.

If you are a big company there are often ESCROW agreements for things like this. I have encountered the “data dumps” from time to time and whilst it’s “better” it’s not ideal. Half finished documentarian, virtual machines of mis-configured OS installs… it’s almost as if it was just a straight copy of the development environment as it was just as they made the final version of the software…

But it’s better than nothing.

Main issue I can see with this forcing open source would be libraries and frameworks licensed from others who would likely still be in business and wouldn’t agree to those parts becoming open sourced. See also WinAMP https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/16/opensourcing_of_winamp_goes_badly/

Phoenix Wright?

I would have suggested Farnell but apparently they got bought out by an American company in 2016.

Garmin watches come close?
