Linux Mint has a program simply called “Drawing” that does exactly that. You can resize pictures, draw shapes, write text, paint and save as other formats. It’s a big buggy and unoptimized, but it’s cool. For simple things, it’s sometimes more convenient than GIMP.
The Alps are pretty freacking impressive. You see these enormous pointy rocks in the background and your brain knows how massive these mountains are. They are incredible.
History showed it many times: people who annex never ever make it better for the annexed. They always exploit and things get worse.
Unfortunately, that is not really possible.
The UEFI standard, a pdf that describes in detail the unified system that all motherbpards use during the boot process, is 1200+ pages long. And that’s only one of the many subsystems in a modern system (that gigantic pdf tells you nothinf about PCI, about ACPI and usb, nor any other hardware peripheral). Also, since you are talking about a modern system, you also would need kernel, drivers and operating system calls documentation. All of these exist (for an open source OS like linux, and if you follow the aforementioned standards), but bundling them in a book, and keeping them uodated, would be just impossible.
Yes, it’s normal, or at least it’s not super unusual. People can be the meanest to your face and then pretend that nothing happened. Is it because they are ashamed of themselves? Because they want to pretend that nothing happened and hope you won’t bring it up? Because they want to maintain happearances in front of others? Are they trying to gaslight you? I don’t know, but it did happen to me and to other people I know.
You don’t have to cut ties with american people just because their president is an ass to the world
Bring back latin as the lingua franca
• replacement parts for appliances (dishwasher wheels, feet, brackets…) • upgrades for your 3d printer (a camera holder is a classic) • if you are a thinkerer (I’m assuming you are) custom boxes for small projects (electronics and so on)
Because 1) EU laws defend the customers a lot more and 2) US companies have already so much power and money, they can fuck over you easier, and you don’t have easier alternatives, or at least some people pretend you don’t
That feels so bad for signal integrity, especially at 5+ GT/s
And brakes as well. EV are, for the most part, greenqashing designed to sell you more cars you wouldn’t need in a better designed world.
My “everyone” was a bit too wide I think. I’m not talking about everyday people of course. I’m talking about 50+ employees companies, that would save money by hiring a sysadmin and running their own servers. I know of companies with thousands of employees that pay millions on Azure and AWS and have no in-house infrastructure. That’s how you get to Amazon running half of the internet
If you tell me gasoline yeah probably (diesel generator to power electric motors is done in big ships), caol I highly doubt it.
But apart from pollution per se, an electric car used everyday would require at least 50% of a household power budget to charge (2-3 kW). If every single ICE vehicle would be immediately swapped to electric, I doubt many countries would be able to cope with the increased power consumption. That’s why we need more energy infrastructure before a full switch. Or you know, less cars and more public transport.
Electric vehicles are not a solution for environmental problems, not now at least, they pollute when building the batteries and, unless nuclear energy is widespread, they will be powered by coal/gas making them pretty polluting. They will be a solution only when we have cleaner energy available.
Bonus: people should stop being lazy and learn to setup a server infrastructure instead of using “the cloud”. Your data are safer, you save money and give less power to gargantuan cloud companies.
I know, but many people barely know what “supported hardware even mean”, they will see the message " this computer won’t receive any more updates" and simply buy a new one.
Windows 11 refusing to install on hardware it can absolutely run on.
IP rating on smartphones so there’s seals and glue everywhere and opening them up is a fucking nightmare.
I don’t know, my experience with python is “sudo apt install python3” on linux and “download the installer on windows and run it”, I see many comments mentionting python difficilt to install but I really can’t see why
C is full of complex paradigms and low level details that are great if you’re learning computer architectures, but pretty bad if it’s your first languages.
Python in the other hand is great to learn programming practices and for quick, non-optimized, easy scripts. I think it’s less suited for more complex projects, but that’s another thing. I honestly fon’t think it’s a great language, but it’s easy to use and has pretty much a library for everything, that’s why I think it’s good to start and for simple things.
Java is also quite high level, so also good for beginners, but I’ve never used it so I don’t know how easy is to setup (python is) and how easy it is to download dependencies (on python it is).
For your case I would say Python is best.
On a TV series, a cowboy libertarian explains his being libertarian to a rich evil lady. She smiles and exclaims “you are all a bunch of toddlers! Wanting to suckle on other peoples tits and being treated as adults, while having none of the responsibility of being one”.
Some of my first memories are of my father playing AoE, I don’t even remember when or how I learnt to play the game, at some point I just did and still do.
