The tools “up there” could be made to rival the capacity and accommodate the man hours required to more science than we do now. The problem is it’s hard and expensive and nobody wants to try because of that fact. It’s becoming easier with cheaper launch vehicles and better communications infrastructure. Now we need folks to start identifying the best locations to send new observation satellites and then start building and launching them.

Your take is very conservative and counter to technological progress and I don’t appreciate the personal attack. We can have a meaningful conversation without that crap.

Yes, extraterrestrial telescopes are hard. And, we need more of them. And we need to give access to amateurs.

Imagine one orbiting each planet and what we can observe.

As technology advances, our ability to observe the universe from space far surpasses ground-based telescopes. While I appreciate amateur astronomy, let’s acknowledge that satellites like those in low Earth orbit can occasionally interfere with surface observations. Instead of criticizing their presence, perhaps we could focus on working together to minimize disruptions and support continued space exploration – after all, observatories like JWST are pushing the boundaries of our understanding.

Wtf is loam?

What’s new in this release:

• Window surface scaling on High DPI displays.
• Bundled vkd3d upgraded to version 1.13.
• Mono engine updated to version 9.3.0
• Improved CPU detection on ARM64.
• Various bug fixes.

Not saying this will work for you, but I’ve had some success with convincing my self conscious to do things without me thinking. Then I can shut down the thinking part of my brain for periods of time in between tasks. I’ve done this through meditation since I was a kid. It has helped me to “just know” what needs to be done and I do it.

I’m a bit slow on the uptake there haha. I started with vi and moved over to nano at some point and never looked back. I can refactor code in production with the best of them. There’s still some tricks I’ve seen done in vi that amazes me that I haven’t tried to figure out in nano, but for the most part it’s fairly easy to use to do nearly anything in. Even supports color for supported files, YAML, etc.

I’m intrigued. How does that work?

Honestly, roll back to previous release for production and use best IDE your developers are used to on their local machines, test the fix in a non production environment then release to prod. When is editing business critical scripts in production really needed?

Same. Stage 1 install will forever be a core memory for me.

Better late than never, but I really like Nokian Tyres. They are fantastic.

I got to rule #16 - I suck at chess. Secret to “multiply roman numerals” is just add them up to the value.

Have you tried getting an entry level remote IT job? There are also sites that essentially hire for small programming projects, etc. Might not be steady but might be enough if managed well.

I didn’t realize GrapheneOS limited control like that. Thanks for sharing!

What are you contemplating switching from? Does your current OS meet those criteria?

I’ve never used Boost. What sorts of things does it have that FOSS apps are lacking?

Me too, I mean Same.

Except it sounds like there are no elections for these new reps and people would be able to change their delegate at will whenever they want? But if it’s on a crypto-style ledger then it would have to either cost something (to prevent abuse) to change or be free after X period or on an election cycle. Definitely an interesting thought.
