I think their point was that MacOS -> GNOME was a another transition than a diffetent desktop environment would have been, which led to them naturally discovering more keyboard-oriented workflows. Not that GNOME is any more keyboard oriented than other DEs.

If you need some plausible deniability about it being real work and not just obviously you running up costs:

Feed it a bunch of work-related documentation and then have it do a bunch of reviews of the content on that documentation.

A congressperson serving on a congressional committee for a technical topic is very different from a rando appointed to the head of a specialized department of the executive branch.

Some salts being “saltier” is mostly not true.

If used as a garnish, course or flaky salts take longer to dissolve into your saliva, so the salt flavor isn’t as profound. But if it’s cooked into the dish, there’s no difference. Everything is already dissolved, so equal masses of salt produce equal results.

There’s a little to be said for “mineral salts” where there are trace elements besides NaCl. But that path leads into pseudoscience pretty quickly.

I’d argue that VPNs remain one of the highest return-on-investment (time and money) steps towards online security, as many gaps as they do have in the big picture.

It’s not going to make you untraceable. But it’ll make you difficult enough to trace that nobody’s gonna put forth the effort to target you specifically unless you’ve attracted like, nation-state attention. (Targeting you as a member of some demographic a la advertisers, yeah not much effect).

Or if you’re Jaromir Jagr:

“I’m an unmarried athlete in my 40s, if you want to give the world proof that I’m still pulling hot 20-somethings, do it.”

Usually there’s pretty instant and severe consequences if it’s one of YOUR students, but if they’re not in your class it’s just “legal but creepy age difference”.

True, but when measuring by volume it IS important to be clear about whether you’re using coarse or fine salt. The distinction is not important if you measure ingredients by mass like a civilized person.

The topic was “White House Correspondents Dinner” and was planned way ahead of time. The reporters were just quick to adapt to the real story of the dinner.

It’s not that they keep a list of who was employed under NDA, it’s that [the fact that you worked here] isn’t what’s actually under NDA, it’s the actual project you were a part of.

NDAs just aren’t the blanket defense people think they are.

NDAs are almost never all-encompassing. It may not even be legal. Usually an NDA is something like “I worked for [defense contractor] for three years as a mechanical engineer. I can’t tell you about the projects I worked on, but I can elaborate on my responsibilities.”

Sand walls can collapse suddenly, especially when water levels change (like, with the tide). If you make too deep of a hole, you can find yourself buried with little warning. Knee-deep is a good height that even if it does collapse in you, you’ll still be able too get yourself out. Hip-deep, you might end up stuck as the wet sand keeps filling up as fast as you can dig it out.

Nature is healing

As already mentioned, Ubuntu/PopOS/Kubuntu/Mint are maybe the four most identical distros in the entire ecosystem. But your point really does hold true even with less-identical distros.

Currently, I have an Ubuntu Server, an Arch PC, and an old laptop “test machine” running Fedora. These are totally different limbs of the Linux family tree, but things pretty much work the same in all of them. The main difference is the package manager: Apt vs Pacman vs DNF. But like, they’re all doing basically the same thing under the hood: checking your installed software against some repository to see if anything needs an update. The actual workflow is pretty much the same with any of them.

After that it’s pretty much just a question of downloading the desktop environment and software you like. Or finding a distro that comes pre-installed with what you want. To make a gaming analogy: linux distros are like Dark Souls classes: starting stats and equipment, but the starting point doesn’t lock you into your you build in the future.

NixOS is a different beast for sure.

Tibet, Hong Kong, and Taiwan may not agree with that thesis.

The one thing that upset me watching the Artemis II mission broadcast was the constant use of imperial units.

NASA uses metric units internally. They had to intentionally translate than back into imperial units for the livestream. Please, folks. Use the better units.

7 more trips to the moon

No, like military capability. We showed our hand pretty clearly and now rival countries have a better idea what to expect should they enter an armed conflict with us.

My preferred version:
