I just add 1 to the number at the end of my password every time they force a change.

I’m on 18 right now.

They’re trying to argue that an EULA isn’t binding because they can’t sign away their rights, and thats legally incorrect in this case.

Recognizing reality is different than endorsing it.

And that’s the one we can refuse to buy.

But let’s be honest - people won’t. They’ll buy it in record numbers - just not on Linux.

What rights?

You’re buying a license to play a game. Rockstar is not obligated to ensure it’s available to you indefinitely.

They implemented this 10 years after the game’s release. It’s harder to vote with your wallet at that point.

There’s one critical issue with Teams that’s about to result in it being banned for government work.

You can’t save logs.

My small city just changed domains and went to 365 Government. As part of the process we had to migrate all our accounts and create new ones, and we lost all of our Teams history because there’s no way to save the logs.

Now if someone asks for chat history as part of an Open Records Request or as discovery in a lawsuit, we can’t provide them. Other government bodies are starting to realize this and everyone’s about to start getting “don’t use Teams” memos from the lawyers.

If Google takes money to host an ad that’s malware, they should be able to be prosecuted for it.

This is different than simply hosting community content that they can’t reasonably moderate. They’re being given money to distribute these ads, so they can afford to moderate them.

Which should be easy anyway. Ads shouldn’t be able to install third-party shit from the advertisers on user computers. Google can easily restrict what can be included on an ad package.

They tried to nickel and dime me on a $4000/yr product, but I’m just giving them the nickel.

I will give ESRI credit for their online stuff. It’s expensive, but it’s also pretty great. We’re actually thinking about getting an online subscription but no software licenses.

I didn’t discover it this uear, but I started using QGIS professionally when the small city that hired me to, among a lot of other duties, be the new GIS department.

Turns out they thought ArcGIS cost the same as like Office or Acrobat, and they didn’t budget for it for the fiscal year that started 2 weeks before I started working.

Anyway, I’ve gotten pretty good with QGIS, and we’re sticking with it. It does everything I need it to do, and I can still pull stuff from most REST servers.

If you have reason to believe someone is in mortal danger, your response shouldn’t be to mail a letter giving them 30 days to respond.

You send police to the scene where they secure the potential suspect and make sure there’s nothing going on.

Imagine that you’re standing on a train and have a baseball. If you throw the ball off the train, the ball will still have momentum in the direction of the train’s movement.

If you want to throw the ball to a friend the train just passed, you have to be able to throw the ball faster than the train is moving or it will never reach them.

PS3 is the trickiest. They had that weird Cell architecture which is more difficult to emulate than simply “less-powerful x86” emulation required for more-recent consoles.

I cited and linked my source from the 18th century when it was redefined. What’s yours?

Welcome to peer review!

The scale was adjusted later to make freezing and boiling points land on exact numbers with an easily-divisible 180-dregrees between them (180 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 20, 36, 45, 60, and 90).

Should use Rankine with that logic. It comes out to 566.

Fahrenheit literally meant to base the scale with 100 being human body temp.

It was later rescaled by Cavendish to put the freezing point of water at exactly 32 and boiling point at exactly 212, giving a nicely-divisible 180-degree separation between freezing and boiling. That shift is why body temperature is 98.6.

Last time I got pretty deep in, but it became impossible when the chess notation rule required Cs and Ds, making it impossible to stay below the roman numberal sum limit.
