That would be trademark infringement. Patents are much more nefarious.

A supply chain attack of some kind. Perhaps the app was distributed via a private store app where the french authorities had some leverage. I wonder if we’ll find out.

A nanotube garrote would be the talk of the town.

What filesystem are you using?

Never, nunca and niemals!

My Samsung S90C OLED is pretty good. I spent a lot of time researching TVs and user reviews before I bought it though, and an LG OLED also made the shortlist.

It is possible to wrap something like python into a single file, which is extracted (using standard shell tools) into a tmpdir at runtime.

You might also consider languages that can compile to static binaries - something like nim (python like syntax), although you could also make use of nimscript. Imagine nimscript as your own extensible interpreter.

Similarly, golang has some extensible scripting languages like https://github.com/traefik/yaegi - go has the advantage of easy cross compiling if you need to support different machine architectures.

While I doubt it was planned that way, Biden holding off resulted in some funny trump hissy fits and helped show him up as the weird old man that he is.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crlr8gp813ko seems to have a good explanation. In short, it’s complicated, and the IOC drew their lines.

It’s the Y chromosome that triggers them.

edit: alleged/unpublished … she failed some gender verification tests of IBA that disqualified her there, but met the IOC’s criteria. It is what it is. They might keep or change the eligibility rules in the future, and that will continue to be IOC’s decision, much as it is IBA’s.

Not to mention the younger generation with no work ethic, unlike in my day… 5am start 6 days a week… builds character… then school… uphill… both ways… respected our elders… bought first house with 22… kids now… no respect… video games… no work ethic… living with parents at 30… avocado on toast… no house… AVOCADO ON TOAST.

Dialup deathmatch FTW!

If that involves stifling other’s creativity and harming society, then I’d argue no.

Realistically, it is a balancing act.

Copyright, patent and even trademark laws should promote sustainable creativity and societal progress. They try to achieve this by granting some extra (non-intrinsic) rights to creators.

That these are regularly abused to stifle competition and creativity in the name of profit is a cancer deserving treatment.

And faced with an imperfect world: If any law or its implementation feels unjust, then most people will feel morally OK with breaking it.

Regions give manual tiling possibility though, which is actually how I prefer it. I’m testing a new patch that someone recently did to support focus based on region, which is nifty.

labwc is working pretty well these days. Screen tearing for games and all.

There are a bunch of environment variables that I set this time though, which may have contributed to a better experience this time.

English aint Lojban, if you know what I mean.

Many competitive FPS games also fit this category. Play a round for 15 minutes or a few in an hour, get back to life. Games with grind are less attractive - we know it’s all just wasting time.

100% ChatGPT, seeded with the text. It was surprisingly good compared to the poems I normally get out of it.

In Tiananmen’s shadow, two leaders met, A show of strength, yet a tale of debt. Putin’s cap in hand, Xi’s gaze afar, The echoes of Ukraine, a haunting scar.

The Red Army’s songs played, children cheered, But in Xi’s eyes, the future’s not cleared. A hug for the cameras, words held at bay, Xi knows the game, it’s a cautious play.

Russia’s strength, now frail and thin, Exposed by war, the cracks begin. China stands tall, the senior hand, Guiding the course, on shifting sand.

Economies entwined, yet paths diverge, Xi’s balance act on the world stage surge. A pariah’s plea, a friend’s restraint, In whispers, their true sentiments faint.

For China’s gain, Russia’s plight, An alliance of need, not equal might. Xi will nod when the moment is right, In shadows, he maneuvers out of sight.

One of these years my children will discover the PS3 hidden unused in the entertainment center since they were born, and there’ll be 2mil+1. Muhaha.
