Definitely needs a better camera before I could consider it. A jump to 20MP, and then perhaps forking OpenCamera rather than developing one directly for Pine might be a good way forward. Does Pine have any recommendations for auto-cloud bac

Is Plasma Mobile up to running on tablets now? I got an MS Surface Go 10 months ago and at the time Plasma Mobile didn't support auto screen rotation, so for now I'm running Gnome. (I'd like to switch.)

He's 85, his brother died recently, and he's very likely concerned about "legacy". According to Greenpeace, these assholes have poured $145,555,197 into groups that worked counter to climate policy changes being enacted

> for the most part over age 70. CDC categories don't line up to "70" that well, but there are plenty of younger deaths. 51% are 74 or younger. 33% are 64 or younger. https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisio

It's a little hugged to death at the moment, but https://covid19risk.biosci.gatech.edu/ is a useful tool to show relatives who are thinking about social gatherings for the holidays.

Reaper is also worth checking out too - but it doesn't have clips/scenes, which Bitwig does. Bitwig is well thought through, though they have some improvements to be made around the ergonomics of integrating with hardware instrume

It's works well for arranging, but doesn't have a scene/clip/looping workflow (yet).

Bah, I think that's a perfectly fair response. Arguing against drug trials is simply answered by history.

Does the cognitive sophistication of the animals (their ability to feel emotions, form long term memories, etc) factor into that? Pigs are highly sophisticated. Minks probably less so.

That's called "different timezones", which we know how to deal with. (Although there is a certain attraction to everybody observing UTC.)

Yes of course - the context of the thread is "why stay in the US"? Please don't be so pedantic.

The IRS is going to come after you for taxes anyway (post first 105k) so you might as well earn it in USD, bank it in the US, and transfer what you need to whereever you are. The good news is that some countries won't bother taxing you

What's your problem with NetworkManager? It's generally good, and certainly much better than what came before.

We don't have a solution for flying without oil based fuels (yet). We might get there, but it makes sense to try to develop much faster ground based transportation in parallel. If they efficiently can hit 600mph without risk of obstruc

We need easier/more integrated app sandboxing. Last time I tried firejail it was a pain in the ass, but looking at the docs it seems like it may have gotten better. Regardless, distributions could actively promote it (or something like

Coffee is space inefficient and (cheap) labor intensive to produce. Greenhouses wouldn't be viable. Check out this video to get a sense of what goes into producing the beans we all consume. https://www.youtube.com/watch

No harm in having a recruiter or two feed you opportunities on a regular basis to interview at (just be up front with them that you're holding out for a solid fit for your criteria). Better to have a job while interviewing than be unde

Tempting to believe, but it would be good to see some examples of B2B companies who succeeded via this route. Posthog were founded this year, according to Crunchbase, so this is a very young company to be giving concrete strategy advice.

The point is that Amazon's listings are overwhelmed by cheap / no-brand items. As a consumer it's basically impossible to know what items in a category are of reasonable quality or not. My guess is that the eventual competito

From what I've read (and there's no shortage of opinion and new facts floating around), indoor transmission is the bigger issue. The explosion in cases in the south is linked to reopenings of bars, restaurants, etc, and indoor cro
