I rum Creo under wine, and while the performance is great, the stability is not. Creo loves crashing even on windows, and it’s much worse on Wine. It’s the one program that I kinda wish I had kept dual boot around for.

There’s definitely software that uses parts of the windows API that games don’t touch. And doesn’t work properly on Wine. I keep a windows install around just for using an analysis software for some lab equipment that refuses to start in wine.
Things like CAD software are also a struggle, though the latest wine seems to have resolved a number of graphics issues with getting PTC Creo to properly use the nvapi and nvidia graphics drivers through wine.
While wine is amazing, plenty of things don’t work with it. Usually you don’t need them, but if you do, you do
I thought I saw that Mac has the same CUPS print service/printer manager that Linux uses? In fact it seems like apple developed it. I think that helps enormously with standardizing printer configs. https://www.cups.org/doc/admin.html
I was assuming this was the government ordering the companies to. They have no incentive to do so on their own. But I believe there was a bill (which thankfully didn’t pass) that would have given the president the power to essentially order the internet turned off.
I agree that the internet is far more than facebook. But if you’re blocked at the edge of the network by your ISP, there’s really not much you can do. You’ll have access to nothing, Facebook or otherwise. Not even something low bandwidth.
If At&t, Comcast, Charter, Verizon, and T-Mobile suddenly stopped providing service to all their customers, then essentially no-one would be able to use anything on the internet at all. Even if the backbone itself (which I believe is largely owned by those same companies, but not sure) and some large datacenters that are their own isps were able to keep talking to each other, anything business or user facing would stop.
Some people who run their own mesh networks might be able to stay in contact (and people would try and start some local ones as this disaster unfolds), but that’s so few people.
How many internet service providers would have to go along before the internet was effectively off? 3? 4?
That make sense. I would use tags like that:
Flickr Published
year roundup/2022
type/Landscapes
type/Portraits
events/trips/Zion 2022
content/food
content/animals
I actually do event level as my on-disk sorting. And then tag for stuff that’s not that. But I think it would work pretty well to do the event sorting under tags as well.
Then I rate my favorite photos, usually using the green approved, not stars. But stars would work too. Then if you want to find say, favorite landscapes, the digikam interface makes it really easy to do so.
I’m not sure if you can select what tags get written into the image, but if you can, you might be able to exclude certain parts of the hierarchy, and only include content/
or type/
subhierarchies
One of the things I really like about digikam is the matching of the disk layout with the album structure. This makes it really easy to have other programs also interact with my photo library in a way that’s near impossible if you instead have an internal photo database.
Tags work great for me for multi-categorization. What feels clunky about them in your workflow? You’re even allowed to have a tag hierarchy.
As far as I’m aware, what you cited only proves that there is no ether that acts on light in a way such that the round trip time in the direction of ether travel is different from the round trip time in the direction perpendicular to ether travel.
It’s not merely that:
Instead, it’s that the speed of light must be different in the two directions in a way such that their round trip times don’t average out to the same average as in the other direction.
The theories of ether at the time predicted such a round trip difference because of the wind like interactions that you say.
I believe that this in no way proves anything about the one way speed of light. The Michaelson Morley inteferometer only measures difference in round trip time.
(Insert comment about the irony of your last statement). See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light
