But in order to get the money for those programs, especially if their effect is to lower the workload for police, you should get the money from the police budget, otherwise it’s just wasted money. Are you just going to keep giving the NYPD a billion dollars a year to do nothing?
Still funny that there’s a Microsoft Linux distro. Didn’t think that would ever happen 20 years ago.
My issue is that the only time I use vim or nano it’s because I’m logged into some server where you’re going to be stuck with the defaults anyway. I guess it’s nice on your home machine, but customising a bunch of servers with your personal preferences isn’t really something you can do in most work situations.
The reason is probably that too many people got caught liking questionable content through the likes page.
I guess the thinking is that in the past economic growth has been the way governments dealt with paying back debts (or making them look smaller as part of the GDP). Instead of raising taxes or issuing currency to pay back debt, you’d grow the tax base by growing the economy.
MMT is currently challenging this thinking obviously, and the answer to this (as with every other challenge we’re facing, like inequality, pollution, corruption, …) is taxing the rich, not somehow procreating more.
If managed well, a slowly shrinking population can be managed without too much issues and would allow us to live within our planetary means, which are the real contraints on the economy and our survival.
Does anyone know where you can get the Thunderbird branded package?
I used to use it back in the day, but I switched to streaming and don’t really have a use for a desktop music player any more.
It was good (smart playlists being a killer feature), but didn’t quite look like other apps.
Canonical has wasted so much dev time trying to reinvent the wheel, only to go back to using the thing everyone else is using years later.
Unfortunately it’ll take 10 years to build the printer.
Have you been diagnosed as being on the spectrum yet?
If he wants to use it for gaming over steam link, he’ll need a graphical interface. I use a PC this way as well: headless most of the time, although realistically you’ll want to use a monitor once in a while to configure steam and figure out gfx issues (and in my case, if it boots it defaults to a 640x480 display, which I need to fix by attaching an actual monitor, I’m sure there’s a way around it, but meh).
Basically EA happened.
Yeah, I’ve used Nextcloud for this in the past too, but it looks like there’s a ton of other options as well judging by this thread.
Yeah, I’d probably go with NTFS in OP’s situation, provided the steam games work with that setup. Back when I needed compatibility between windows and Linux I did it that way, but performance wasn’t really a consideration then.
It’s better than the US one, but it’s just worse compared to the European ones. It’s hard to get them aligned in the dark/behind furniture, but at least it won’t fall out by itself.
The most useful automations I personally have are rules to control the AC. It basically only kicks in if it’s too hot or too cold, and I set it to turn off if I leave the house or at night. Basically saves money, and removes the need to use the remote control.
There’s more stuff I’d like to do (like controlling lights and house fans), but that’s definitely less urgent to me.
Yeah, except there’s no way the owners would give up any of the profits for the betterment of society. Every technological improvement since the industrial revolution made productivity skyrocket, and yet the capitalists made sure working people were still hovering just above destitution. The only reason some of us have it better is because unions fought them, and that includes Luddites that would destroy the means of production.
Generally people make a huge issue out of something like that (some will even call it spyware, etc).
I think the best approach is to ask the actual community of users what they’re ok with before you start. You probably want to make sure it’s opt-in as opposed to opt-out, and be very clear about what information you do and don’t collect, and make sure it’s stored securely.
I’m not 100% sure, I just assumed you could affect power use too with different schedulers. Either way, even if that’s not the case, being able to change the performance characteristics based on what you want to do on the fly is pretty exciting in its own right.
If you replaced every vehicle with an electric airplane the electricity needed would be astronomical.
