That’s a valid point, though it looks like Popfile’s installation instructions call for manually installing libraries, presumably current ones. I think it processes only text, not PDFs or images, which are traditional sources of vulnerabilities. I’m fairly certain it doesn’t attempt to execute Javascript. It is, itself written in Perl, which is memory-safe.
It’s worth considering security because there’s so much malware out there trying to spread indiscriminately, but Popfile is less vulnerable than an Android app (which bundles its dependencies) or anything written in C (which is subject to all kinds of memory management bugs).
Abandoned doesn’t necessarily imply no longer useful. Sometimes, though rarely in the modern world software is finished.
I may give it a try. It does actually have the features I’m asking for.
Andrew Cuomo has not been convicted of a crime, so he cannot be sentenced to prison.
more and more human labor to “pay back the debts” of previous generations
There is no law of economics stating that a generation of people has to consume more than it produces.
While older laws concerning statutory rape criminalize sex with children by way of the idea that they cannot consent to sex, modern laws concerning sexual abuse of children usually don’t reference the concept of consent. This allows for more severe penalties when there’s actually no consent, as the offender can also be charged with sexual assault.
Yes, a code-oriented one meant to be very fast and responsive. It’s pre-alpha on Linux but compiles without any fuss for me. I haven’t spent much time with it, but the only bug I’ve seen so far is an uncommanded theme change when switching between files.
Southwest assigns you a position in line. You can pay for a better one. Their passengers don’t spend a lot of time waiting in ad-hoc lines before their group is called like other airlines.
Air springs with pushbutton height adjustment on a Subaru XT.
No. You’ll tell them what you like, but you might not tell them what you can’t look away from.
The latter is more useful for manipulating you into buying stuff or just spending more time on their platforms.
Overtaking damn near anything would redline the (very new, less than 10k miles) engine.
While this suggests it might have been underpowered, how high the engine revs during acceleration in a modern automatic transmission vehicle is determined by software that operates the transmission and the driver’s control inputs, not how old the engine is. The designers of the car probably decided that was the best way to deliver the performance you asked for. They may even have been correct in that assessment.
compared to the States, apparently bog standard there is like 87?
That’s not quite accurate. Octane ratings in most parts of the world are RON, which tends to be 8-12 points higher than the more difficult MON rating. In North America, the average of the two is used resulting in a lower rating for the same fuel.

I’ve been using one of the Javascript variants of this for a while. While that is a little heavier weight for the client than this completely static solution, it’s ultimately just a few kilobytes and minimal processing that’s fast even on old devices.
I once had a phone reboot upon connecting to a specific hotel wifi network, then bootloop until I took it out of range. Sometimes things just break. Military interference seems unlikely; a phone carrier, and by proxy a government with jurisdiction over one can track any phone connected to the network regardless of the software running on it.
It’s useful to immediately save the logs from logcat when something like that happens. There’s often enough information in there to find out why a crash or reboot occurred, or at least what part of the OS was responsible for it.
Mullvad offers a free, anonymous service.
I’m always surprised when people don’t use some level of adblocking. DNS-based on mobile and a browser extension on desktop seem like the bare minimum.
The EFF has a good document on this topic.
No, we’re not all fucked. It’s actually a pretty good time to be alive.
“Things are mostly OK, but we should work on a few problems” doesn’t drive engagement. Nobody’s going to click your headline, vote on your post, or watch your video if you say that, so people saying it don’t get much visibility.
I find it important to have some tools with me. Even if I’m really unlikely to use them, being a useful person who can fix stuff and solve problems is a major component of my self concept.
I also find the tools interesting in their own right. Lots of people like trinkets and gadgets, and there may be no explaining it to someone who doesn’t immediately find that sort of thing appealing.
