þ (thorn) is a character from Old English and some Scandinavian scripts. It represents the <th> phonemes. Wiþ = with, þink = think.
Thorn can be used for both the voiced and voiceless <th> (voiceless: thin, voiced: that), but ð (eth) can also be used for tge voiced version. Farðer = farther, ðose = those.
I quite like both, and the only reason I don’t use them is because I haven’t found a keyboard I can use them with.
Bazzite is an Atomic system. Most of it’s files are immutable, and can only be modified with a system update. That’s great for stability and working from a system exactly as tested, but lots of software needs (or wants) to add extra files to the system. In Bazzite you should basically spin up a VM for that (or a toolbox, those are cool), or “layer” it into the system which reduces the stability you get from the Atomic system.
Both VMs and Layering are extra steps and can be complex depending on what you need, so it’s more difficult to do otherwise routine things if you’re not well versed already.
I wonder if it’s a brigade, bots, or trolls. I’m having difgiculty imagining they’re genuine commenters considering some of them are recommending cars on fuckcars.
I wish I could tweak Win 11 to look like Win 7. The only improvement since then was putting the Folder Up button back and adding tabs to Explorer, everything else is worse.
A lot of money behind that denial too.
And you don’t even need to deal with parking!
There should be a short explaination of what and why the shaders need to be processed over several launches.
Alternate universe with Digong and Seetrio.
Yeah, outlines like subway lines where each colour is visible the entire way would ne nice. Might be a bit thick in some places though.
Ask fusion researchers, they’ve been maintaining a 30 year difference for decades.
I tend to have the opposite problem, where I get recommended to go 3 km along a road with a speed limit twice my maximum speed and only a 2ft sidewalk on one side (that sometimes disappears).
I think the industrial standards would be more relevant to a discussion about how industries operate than the language spoken. They could switch to Peruvian tomorrow, but the industry would stay the same.
I like Bazzite because it has a bunch of optimisations for getting games runnin well, and because it disallows applications screwing with the system. If I really need an application that demands it’s files be put in a bunch of places I can’t audit easily, it can go in a toolbox and not impact the system, or I can audit exactly what it does and layer it into the system.
For a Linux newbie, I really appreciate a system that stays what it is, and doesn’t let anything change that without my explicit approval.
“Musume” is closer in usage to “Maiden”, and is often used in the same way words like “woman” and “girl” are used in titles, like Wonder Woman or Batgirl.
It doesn’t have a connotation of family by itself.
The Chicago parking situation is nuts. Not only did they sell them for 75 years, and not only did they sell for only a little over a single year of earnings, but they’re also required to reimburse the parking companies for lost revenue (such as from reducing parking spaces or construction). The price of parking has more than doubled since then.
Maybe this can be a lesson to everyone about privatization.
Maybe we can replace the boring bluegrass lawns with boulders.
Propaganda was short for “congregation for propagating the faith” in 1718, and meant a movement or organization for the propagation of ideology before the end of the 1700s. The modern usage refering to the information disseminated is from after WWI (which wasn’t perjoritive at the time), when German telegraph lines to other countries were cut and they turned to high-power radio communication. The negative connotation comes from WWII after Germany’s very effective use of it.
Nevertheless, propaganda has been used as long as humans have existed, and much like the subcategory “advertisement”, is more effective with as many lies as one can get away with. There’s nothing inherently untruthful about propaganda, but neither is it inherently truthful. It’s manipulation, and can still be effective without lies. It’s much broader than papers to circumvent censure.
Propaganda was originally a branch of the Catholic Church, so the connotation is that it’s as full of crap and dishonesty as apologetics.
It’s more inherent than that in most cases. The job attracts power trippers, the culture and standards in most precincts encourages abusive assholes and corruption, and once the cops can cover for each other it becomes self-selecting for abuse. At least in North America, cops are heavily pre-disposed to being bastards, even before the reality of their purpose.
That defeats the big advantage of having a well-tested common source to build off of. It’s basically making a new flavour, like Bazzite did with Silverblue. It’s cool and all, probably great for deploying lots of machines, but definitely not an everyday solution.
I think CachyOS is built like that, where you are intended to modify the build of the system like that.
