Best ad ever IMHO (sorry for funky link, YouTube if you prefer).

No dialog, no rampant consumerism (hot sauce is a necessary food), no sex/sexism, no emotional manipulation.

Or, malicious compliance by someone with a moral compass. Best is to somehow leak documents wholesale. But if that's not possible, I think the next best way to all but guarantee that the information gets out is to do a lousy job censoring, and let "The Internet" do the rest. It also makes the administration look even more stupid, especially in the eyes of technically minded folks.

But yeah, not the best and brightest, that's certainly a possibility.

No one "shatters," "breaks," or otherwise ~~surpasses~~ violates the diffraction limit. Rather, you operate in such a way that the diffraction limit does not apply.

This is not to take away from these accomplishments at all! All manner of super resolution techniques are fantastic, but they're not violating the diffraction limit; they are violating the assumptions that go into the diffraction limit, or they are using a different definition of resolution (which is completely valid), or both.

I would probably add "transmit power" in there somewhere, but I guess if you're assuming regulatory limits then it's not a big variable.

Every so often there's a post on Lemmy about how you should stick it to your landlord and put grease down the drain.

This is why that's a bad idea, and it sucks for everyone, not just your landlord.

Not sure how serious your comment is, but I could certainly imagine Microsoft introducing new dependencies/hooks/all-executables-must-support-copilot, etc., that break compatibility faster than Wine can keep up. Glad to hear that's not the case!

For old stuff though...yeah, I'd hope it's not moving backwards :)

VNC? You have your choice of servers, and clients are ubiquitous.

A big gotcha is that you need to be careful with encryption/security, as in classic UNIX style VNC does one thing (remote desktops). It's easy to forward over ssh though.

You can also use VNC to share, which is not what you want; this depends on the type of server/settings. But you can definitely create a new virtual X11 session and access it remotely.

As they say, it costs a lot to be poor.

Huh. I was expecting the comments to be a little more of the Fuck Cars crowd.

In my city there was a whole kerfuffle because people were fined for parking in their own driveway due to it not actually being a driveway, as there was no garage, despite having a curb cut. It sounds like this sort of thing has been changed under the new mayor.

Parent didn't say develop, they said use. 80 acres of forest can be used as open space and not developed at all.

I think the spirit of parent comment was that if you have 80 acres of forest, but you live somewhere else and never set foot in it...well, maybe that land could be better used/enjoyed.

If you live on/near it, and enjoy it for some purpose other than strictly as an investment, that seems like you're utilizing it.
