Yes, you could. If you decide that your criteria for having won doesn't factor in things like your own survival as an organization, or the safety of the folks around you, but only that your enemy is damaged, you could decide that you won. Case in point... Hamas. One can easily make the case that Hamas has won, even if they (as a discrete, identifiable group) cease to exist. They've torpedoed changes in the region that were in progress that were to Israel's benefit, the world's support for Israel has been severely compromised, and the forces of other nations with similar views are slowly being mobilized. No matter what happens, Hamas "won". The only outstanding issues don't change that... they just help shape the events of the next year or two.

Maybe we can eliminate pilot (or even soldier) risk altogether, and move conventional war strictly into the economic realm. Whomever has more of the best toys to smash together wins. Of course that means that if a country is at a disadvantage it's in their best interests to move the fight into the unconventional sphere... attacks on civilians through all sorts of unpalatable methods... the aggressive pursuit of nuclear parity/superority/relevance... bioweapons... terrorism.. The Geneva conventions and other norms all boil down to "be civil and fight fair". As the technology gap grows, fewer and fewer opponents will choose to do either of those things.

I thought the new design was mostly to more tightly control the impedance of the connections (by having a really high contact pressure) in order to tighten the tolerances enough to use LPDDR, rather than reduce signal lengths as such.

Focus follows mouse without automatic window raising. I want to be able to put input into a partially obscured window without raising it.

As far as I know, no on the clipboard thing. I think some terminals emulate it, but that only works within the one application. Dual clipboards are amazing.

You can of course have them with inferior focusing schemes on Linux too :)

Next up tabs v spaces (tabs of course)

Or possibly the mantle. Error bars are wide though.

Hehe looks like someone got his feelings hurt!

Screw free speech, now laughing at a politician is Orwellian somehow.

Well gnome is giving it the old college try.

Personally I used Linux because I think it is preferable to the cesspool of the windows GUI and garbage heap of the Mac one.

Linux is best at being the best Linux, not a shoddy knock-off of a Mac, but that's just my 2p.

Focus follows mouse and dual clip boards with middle click paste are my hill to die on.

I like keeping machines going.

I'm rocking a 14 year old laptop at the moment as my day to day home machine. I've got a proper desktop when I need a GPU or want to max out 12 cores, but most of my time is spent on the laptop.

I thought about replacing it, but with what and why. It's got 32G of RAM now so it will likely outlast those Macs with 8 in terms of usefulness, if the hardware survives.

Oh you're the guy who thinks the magical energy from nothing drive is real!

I do love your energy though: don't like a really simple use of Newton's laws? Fling inventive because physics cares about your feelings is your shout loud enough!!

I love when people are wrong about something, then double down, triple down and then cry about it.

The string association between Orwell and the word ministry is only there for people who have only renovated the word ministry in Orwell, which means the ill read and ignorant. For everyone in England it's a daily word with different associations. But again only an American would insist their knowledge of a Britishism is superior to a Brit

This is completely nonsensical.

The only kind of person who read 1984 once and didn't otherwise know anything about the UK. We hear about ministries all the time because it's the government, same way as you hear "department" all the time, yet somehow don't associate the word with a specific piece of literature.

For literally any British person, Orwell is going to be far down the list of associations with "ministry", far behind the ministers in the news now for some scandal or another, and possibly behind the ministry l ministry of silly walks. Your personal literary obsessions and lack of knowledge do not match with anyone else except perhaps similar internet weirdos.

Only an American world dismiss an entire country's civics as "durr Orwell". Fortunately not any of the Americans I'm actually friends with.

You must be American is all I can say.

Government departments are often called ministries in the UK. It's particularly common to use the term "ministry" in British fiction because it makes it more obvious it's part of the government than the currently popular "department" and now unpopular "office". Ministry as a term was probably at it's height of popularity when Orwell wrote 1984, but was in use in the preceding and succeeding century.

The only people who associate "ministry" with Orwell in particular have (a) not read any other books and (b) not watched it listened to or read the news.

Eh? Wtf are you taking about.

Yes, the bit about making it privately send a little thought policey

Just what I would expect from the kind of muh freedumbs government who keep removing actual freedoms.

So, whatever else you may intend with this move, all you're really doing is ensuring that all questionable communications are relocated to another device. This will prevent exactly no malfeasance. It won't stop insider training. In fact, you're closing off the only real possible enforcement available to you - catching people misusing the devices in front of them.

What is the end game?
