Every wavelength of IR is attenuated by cloud cover to some degree, some more strongly than others. Absorption is also not the only issue.

What? You absolutely had to authenticate to administer a Netware server, unless you did it from the console in the early days. That is logging in. If you don't think so, then neither is passwordless rsh, or ssh with a key and no password.

Most of the basic behavior of the UI used in Windows was inherited from IBM CUA, and is also shared by all of the commonest DEs for Linux. They also all have an analogue of the start menu. It's unclear what you're talking about here.

Back when the OS MacOS is now based on was created, there was no distinction between workstation and server OSes. Therefore MacOS X not being intended as a server OS is a downgrade from the prior product... like many of the changes Apple made, especially the UI ones.

They chose the under-tested alpha version of an OS from a vendor who is running an attack on the GPL. What could possibly be less surprising than that? You need to recalibrate your surprise-o-meter.

Yeah that. Why not a GitGov or GovHub? It makes zero sense.

I was just going to remind IS of their password policy recommendations that everyone doing business with the feds are supposed to follow.

So much for that fucking idea.

I did a stint as an RV repair tech but I really don't want to replace more poop tanks and I can't get a good reference because my ex-boss is a POS.

Maybe it's appliance repair next I guess, that was some of the least terrible RV repair work

And is it your thesis that teh EU can enforce their will? Because someone will. Or is it your thesis that the EU should be isolationist and rely on their superior qualities to bring the world to a different conclusion, ruled by that moral superiority?

Whether you like or dislike the USA, do you believe that there are no reasons ever for military involvement? Example, After WW2, and the late 1940's, the USSR and China were very expansionist, the US stood in their way, in a series of proxy wars. If this happened with the EU as the top dog, should they just allow that to happen? And if they stood in teh way, would the US be able to sustain what the USA did?

the questions and answers are not as simple as many believe, Would you like to live under Russian or Chinese influence as opposed to having the USA involved?Another tough question.

Another tough question - is the EU capable of withstanding the integral issues and mindsets that brought forth the National Socialists and their resulting genocide? There were even genocidal actions in the 1990's.

Am I wrong for being concerned, or has the EU changed so much that it will never happen again.

Do you have concerns about left wing extremists?

And you know - every word you write drips with hatred for the USA. I ask questions b asked on the fact that no country is immune from perfidy, and you write more invective.

So this has become pointless, if you don't think you hate the USA, you have been brainwashed.

Microsoft still makes money on Windows. This isn't Microsoft Linux Home, it's a server version of Fedora with some Microsoft stuff intended to be run on Azure.

They did.

We don't have to imagine, we have an apartheid regime including ubiquitous tracking and an ongoing genocide which we can just look at.

Some of them will. Some of them will have absolutely no clue, just like now.

To thinking people, yes. A lot of people are listening to podcasts to figure out what to think.

Bro, have you heard of the greenhouse effect?

With the current generation of AI, reading/listening just makes me feel stupider. The prose is not quite tight, and it makes my brain go to sleep. The fact that I'm never sure what I'm listening to is true or not doesn't help.

I could see this being useful as a bit of a replacement for white noise, but even for that, there are so many good podcasts around that I will never run out.
