Unfortunately there are many counterexamples, large animals that live long in the wild tend to have shorter lives in zoos, like elephants, hippos, and monkeys.

It is nice, but not e-ink

My personal printer works flawlessly on Linux, except that it cannot be convinced to print double-sided, no matter how deep I dig into the settings. Boils my blood.

Definitely not new. However, in many practical applications you can sorta kinda ignore it (but definitely not all!).

Ceci n’est pas perdu

https://filebrowser.org/ just exposes a filesystem you point it at. Never had problems wit this. For syncing you can use syncthing.

Anyone have an recent example of FDC Willard being thanked in a paper? I couldn’t find any, sadly

I found 2, but I am sure there are more. https://masto.host/ https://toot.io/mastodon_hosting.html

Christian Horner?

Yeah, F1 driver Max Verstappen is in a similar situation. Clearly insanely talented, but probably got there by having a childhood which was pretty fucked up (left at gas station by father in Italy if he lost a karting race, etc.).

Maybe we miss out on a couple of savants without this kind of treatement, but it is a pretty good tradeoff, especially if you think about all the kids that did not make it to the top, and just had a abusive childhood without anything to show for it.

Wikipedia actually has an article about it. They are mainly bothered by the unreadability of it. Editors can indeed bundle citations as you suggest, but it takes some manual effort.

Citation overkill is also a bit of a red flag for edit wars, or barely-notable things that someone really wants to have on a wiki page.

Just a warning: this takes pretty much every bad FF trope you can think of and turns it to max. Awful reading.

Uhh, yes they do. This does not take much googling to find out. Capitalist companies produce spices in the east too.

I get cold just thinking about this. Turning off the shower is my least favourite part of showering. Why repeat the experience several times in one session?

Oh it is completely irrelevant for Fry’s point. Just thought it was interesting.

Maybe surprising, but yes. The pope is an example. Historically it was not super uncommon, nowadays Malaysia and Cambodia for instance still have an elected monarch.

Nono, the other way round. Visit it with chrome and spoof a firefox user agent, so it looks like you used firefox, while you can still use the website.

Bullshit. I can use docker without the docker hub very easily. Anyone can host docker images, and docker allows this, no weird hacks needed.

Docker does not lock you in with the docker hub though. So no hostage taking.
