Nitter is currently dead. xcancel hints at potential legal issues (yes, a second wave), and this time it looks serious because a lot of frontends are straight up dead.

It’s not quite that either. The spanish word for “appropriate” is “apropiar”, and the meaning is the same. Aprovechar has a different meaning.

Great news! Our current rocket technology uses the earth’s rotation for some “free” extra energy at launch, which is why they all launch in the direction of the rotation. While impossible to perceive, this is already technically slowing down the earth’s rotation and making days ever so slightly longer.

Cloudflare tunnels need logins, depend on cloudflare, and allow cloudflare to sniff all your traffic.

They’re easy, but we should stop recommending them. They’re a terrible solution, both for the internet as a whole and for your personal privacy.

SCORE SOME FACKING GOALS!!

Still has charge on the battery

Not actually, it depends on the projection.

The most noticeable visual distortion of a map projection at street level isn’t actually size and area, but angle. While Mercator and Web Mercator distort both size and area, angle remains the same. But projections like Equal Earth distort angle to keep area and size the same.

In practice, what this means is that with Web Mercator, you will see an intersection as 2 perpendicular lines crossing each other, leaving four 90° angles. But with Equal Earth, depending on the location, all those angles will be different, and the lines won’t be perfectly perpendicular.

(of course, Web Mercator also has this issue, because it uses a perfect sphere instead of a spheroid for the projection, but the very slight difference isn’t really noticeable, and using a spheroid is more compute-heavy)

Map navigation and satellite imagery are very specific cases where a Mercator or Mercator style projection are better suited, mainly because of the preservation of the angles. However, for any other case, Equal Earth is a very good projection, and I agree it should be used over Mercator. Especially in education.

Web Mercator is a special kind of abomination, even down to the way the map is cropped to be exactly square. But it is probably the most suitable for navigation, as Mercator itself was designed specifically for it.

Buildings, streets and map features would be more distorted under Equal Earth projection than they already are with Web Mercator. Web Mercator also has the benefit that the cardinal directions are always straight respective to the XY grid, even though the Y direction is non linear.

There is no perfect way of flattening a 3D spheroid into a 2D map, sadly.

Great Again?

Had the same experience with exactly the same mod. In my case, I was also banned from [email protected] , which is also modded by that person. I noticed months after the ban, when I couldn’t post to that community.

That was the only ban I tried to appeal, cuz that was the only non AI community. To be fair, the mod unbanned me from there.

I used Kagi a bit before reading that article, and it was definitely better than Google (tho, at this point, it’s a low bar).

I have found Qwant to be equally good. But beware, it also has AI stuff. I really wish there was a real no-nonsense search engine without any AI in it, that just worked.

Their leadership, business model and finances are sketchy, and the AI stuff being opt-in is a byproduct of their marketing. They are an AI company, and their product is an AI. Kagi Search was just a stepping stone to reach their goal.

This is a nice read on Kagi: https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html

The irony of Kagi, a for profit AI company, doing this

Thanks

What causes accidents are not the cars and conditions you see, but the ones you don’t.

Humans aren’t machines, they make mistakes. And cars have a lot more blind spots than we realize.

That’s why we have rules. If we are predictable and follow the rules, even when we don’t see anything that could stop us from taking a shortcut, then we’re being considerably safer.

Keep in mind that, on the road, it’s not just your own safety you need to ensure. An accident can also harm other people, so the more reason to prevent them.

I never had an issue with a GTX 1660 Ti on Arch. It’s been 5 years.

Older cards (in my case, the 970 M iirc) are slightly more annoying because Nvidia doesn’t support them anymore. So you can’t just install the generic, up to date, Nvidia driver package. You have to use Nvidia’s website to find the latest driver that supported them, and then install that one through your distro’s package manager.

Afaik, Nvidia supports all cards from the 16xx series upwards in their driver, as of right now.

I know, and I hate jaywalking too. I’m just applying to them what they apply to us. It’s only fair. If I was doing that same thing (save the spikes) and got run over, I’d still be (partially) blamed for it.

I thought jaywalking existed in UK. Now I know. Lucky 10000, ig.

While I don’t like these bike gangs, what the police was doing is reckless. I would argue the guy on the quad just feared for his life, because the spikes could have caused an accident. So he did the safe thing and went around them, and the cop just happened to be jaywalking there.

Same thing in Spain. Kind of disgusting they’re forcing it on everyone.

CoMaps still shows the proper name (Gulf of Mexico), and no mention of the Gulf of America, so that’s another easy win for OSM and CoMaps
