My 520ST paid much of my way through university using PaperClip to format documents for other students.
It led me into exploring TeX on the school mainframe, and unix.
Later, I worked with possibly the very first gui granular synthesizer program, developed on a ST1040, which was kind of old at that point.
And that’s pretty much it, a thin veneer of argument over a desire to be american Republicans and join Greater Idaho while catching trickledown dribbles from oiligarchs.
You can also run a Matrix site federated but fully private and get similar security with more features.
I don’t think we should adapt in a cooperative way to foreign interference.
I grew up in Alberta and still have lots of family there. In the 1980’s there were a bunch of texans in Calgary advocating for a move to the USA and backslappingly loud about it. People who flew back to houston every month.
Decades of advocacy and cultural pressure has built up and normalized the traitorous bullshit. Now we have social media and astroturfing and backroom funding.
The separatist movement has never been sincere or honest, and always seditious in spirit. Alberta wants to be an oil colony to oiligarchs and a large number of middle managers and employees are useful idiots.
Let’s hear some honest complaints that aren’t full of entitlement.
The issue preceded Trudeau, Harper, etc. The oil sands are dirty production that is being massively externalized by (mostly) American companies and the strategic unwillingness to meet regs and lose a bit of privilege and margins is part of that.
A failure to tax them is one remove away from direct payment.
BC!? lol
Maybe Kelowna will agitate. Peace River country. Everyone else will have unkind words.
It’s less a threat of political intent, and more a prediction and warning based on historical examples and geopolitics.
Separatists avoid addressing the issue of most of the province being Treaty or Crown land.
My family that works in the oil patch avoids or belittles the externalities of extraction and transport.
Why no refineries? Hand waving and excuses when it’s mostly just corporate structure and priorities, and the American Invisible Hand.
Q and A equally self centered to other provincial citizens.
This one-note blackmail approach is a fine example of pissy attitudes coming from ‘texas north’, it ignores how complex provincial interdependencies are and ignores other solutions and problems. Alberta has to adapt faster.
Don’t fall for it, it’s just a hairstyle.
Apple has been optimizing macOS for underpowered machines for a long time.
Testing a bunch of linux distros on old intel macbooks has shown me that apple is really good with resource management on their vertically integrated hardware, even with greedy daemons like identityserverd or whatever it is, trolling through your drive cataloguing faces in your photos all the time, and the relentless indexing system, and telemetry.
Most models work smoothly most of the time, even the little 11" Air with 4GB, doing standard basic user stuff, and the 2020 1.1 GHz i3 Air is somehow usable on macOS 15, basically current.
It’s fine for all those use cases. The M1 Air rocks all that 5 years later.
Also: install xcode, then
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
or something like that, and stretch macOS a little. I bet if they refresh the model with 12 GB of RAM running emulation and virtualization will be hot.
I like buttered toast
Savings add up and automation keybinders are an investment.
I once calculated that a full-time spreadsheet and word processing user can save more than a half a day per year just memorizing cut copy paste shortcuts. Let’s not get into the tab key combos, or undo or print or escape, too hard to count, but a lot.
But the original comment was way different, wasn’t it?
Yeaaaaah, I think it was worth a corrective comment, not a long-ass thread with a bunch of misunderstanding in it, where “race” gets repeatedly used like it’s scientific and not bullshit, and you really went to bat hard on a side issue of baldness in the bigger political issue, while appearing to argue against a vulnerable population’s safe spaces.
People tried to school you because you seem to have a watered down view of racism. I suspect you’re not North American maybe, where things are pretty tense on the topic.
Why would the Guardian spell neighbour wrong?!
PSN required to play online games. Ongoing subscription, not cheap. So no, not fully functional, except as a pickpocket.
Well, we do extract and refine our own gasoline in canuckistan, so maybe it’s that.
