Gimp’s workflow is objectively worse, shortcuts are not the most difficult part to get over. There is a reason I personally use krita as my replacement since while it probably won’t ever have parity with Photoshop, it does do all the things I want it to without having to redo my entire workflow.
I’m not sure everywhere, but I can say that any place that has a population of about 5000+ in my area is fairly well mapped, enough to mean that I haven’t used google maps in about 2 years. The less populous areas aren’t great, but I have at the very least never had issues with highways so it usually gets you close enough that you can get by.
As someone who cannot read either language, I normally go by the rule of thumb that if it has a lot of curves it is probably Japanese, otherwise I assume it is Chinese. If we can throw Korean into the mix then I just need to see one circle and that’s how I determine if it is or not. It’s not a perfect system, but I would surmise that I can guess the language well above half of the time.
Also aren’t the characters for Chinese shared across all spoken versions, if so, why did you specify Mandarin instead of just saying Chinese?
I always enjoy a 3blue1brown video, depending on their current intuition they probably be able to parse his explanations
Rights Aren’t Rights If Someone Can Take Them Away. George Carlin
has a history as old as the Fourth Amendment itself
I hate to break it to them but 1787 isn’t remotely close to 1977.
Do not the food
I think protocol wise xmpp is the best, it however doesn’t have full clients on every operating system( something simplex appears to share) for that reason I have had to open my threat vectors up to allow software from corporate America, which in my opinion signal is the cherry on top of the shit sunday.
You can read your student code, most of them do not have anything that compels you to use the services that are provided. If that is the case, refuse to use the service and make your position known, they’ll generally give you a workaround or if they say that’s how it is, you can ask for the part of the student code with the nonexistent objective reason why you must use it.
If you don’t want to be a squeaky wheel, there are technical ways of limiting the information loss, but the easiest is to not install anything and be conscious of what location, network, & device you use
Their clients are open source, unless you are worried about the NSA being better at decryption than is currently thought possible, the only information you are giving is encrypted traffic, who you are, who you sent a message to, and if their press release are anything to go by, they are trying to muddy the waters of the identification part with moving away from phone # account creation. I’m also a proponent of xmpp for a similar reason, and I think that xmpp is the better protocol, but signal has more concessions to non techies
These studies generally take a high level approach, but coming from a technical side I fail to see where the grid forming generators will come from: wind & solar cannot be grid forming, I don’t think there is enough water to maintain a stable grid. The only way I can see the renewable only setup working in the near future is to change transmission to DC, which has much larger technical limitations than a few nuclear plants. I skimmed the PDF, I didn’t see anything addressing that issue, if I missed it please point me in its direction.
Do you have any links to them?
I’ve always been more partial to approval voting, but either is better than first past the post
I’ve never gotten the screen share audio to work and based on the issue tracker I’m not the only one.
Matrix has its benefits, but it is not a 1:1 replacement for discord, for one thing they still haven’t figured out audio screen sharing. If privacy is your thing, it is also a mixed bag since jitsi is not e2ee while the fluxer video calls are. For my use case fluxer is preferable for less tech savvy people or people who want e2ee video calls, & matrix is good for e2ee chat messages, both have their place, & I use both where their strengths shine
Can’t you specify instance when logging into a canary client?
That aspect is above my knowledge, I would be searching the same things you would be.
The zero escape series has so many good ones. Virtue’s last reward in particular has the best ost. As an aside if you enjoy absolute bullshit storylines ala nano machines from metal gear, I highly recommend playing the zero escape games.
