I feel the same about youtube. I pay for premium, but sometimes creators bake in their own ads. I wish youtube would pay creators enough so they wouldn’t have to do it.

You also support big tech by giving them traffic and watching the ads. The only way to not support them is to not use it.

Podcast ads are easy to skip. Still, i pay subscription to my favourite podcast network to support them, and it’s more convenient not having to skip.

And they don’t last as long anymore.

X1 yoga gen 3. Fedora 40.

I already tried. Linux has some issues with basic things like a working sleep mode and a working thunderbolt port at the same time on my laptop.

Tons of legacy code that has to run at startup.

Because most places you’d use it already has free WiFi (home, office, train, coffee shop, etc), and everywhere else you can just tether from the phone, so there’s no point paying a separate bill just for the laptop.

But you can still get a laptop with lte, it’s an option if you need it. My x1 yoga has a sim slot. Or you can get a usb dongle.

Same, 😊

Other countries should move their armies near Russian borders and waters just to keep them on their toes and prevent them from redeploying those troops to Ukraine.

Makes perfect sense. If you’re checking if a collection is empty you don’t need to know its exact size. Getting the size can be very inefficient in collections like linked lists or trees, if you have to follow all nodes. To check if it’s empty, all you need fo know if at least one item exists. If one does, there’s no point counting the rest.

People who don’t understand the difference will probably not understand the difference between passing a list and passing an literator/generator to any() .

It’s just how pythonic code is written. All python developers know that not and bool can indicate that variable is either empty or null. They will also use the in operator and other python specific syntax.

Close. It was more like “i may be wrong but I don’t care”.

It’s not really that reliable as it it will depend on the diameter of the wheels that can vary with pressure, wear, and and actual tyre size.

A better method may be a sensor like the one used in optical mice.

Is this unique to women? Do men experience anything similar in women-dominated fields? I’m not actually sure what these may be; teaching, childcare, hair stylists? I realise this may make me sound misogynist, but I’m really clueless.

Why imagine when you can just read the article?

I did consider when making my comment that it could likely be work of an artist, but if the artist chose AI slop as their aesthetic, it was a conscious choice. Thanks for the source, though.
