If true we wouldn’t have free will, but god does not exist, anymore than Harry Potter exists.

Also the concept of an all powerful god is moronic.
Can god create a rock so heavy even he can’t lift it?
So theologians have changed it to god is the maximum powerful implicating: That is possible.
But clearly that means there are things god can’t do, because there is a limit to his power.

EDIT PS:
That also means that god can’t know the future with free will existing at the same time. Because that is impossible.
And although free will is debated philosophically, and we don’t know exactly how it can exist, after 40 years of pondering the concept, I have reached the conclusion that we actually do have free will. Because our consciousness build on abstractions that are more than the sum of the parts of the physical brain.

Evil is a subjective perception, that is only possible because we have consciousness and free will.

My gosh, it’s so rare I have a chance to use my printer, thanks for sharing. 🤣

IDK where you live, but here we could never be annoyed by butterflies, we actually plant bushes in our garden that attract them.
If you computer is black butterflies shouldn’t be particularly attracted, if it’s not get one that is.

USA was never a functioning democracy, but at least as much a plutocracy all along.
What USA is headed for is fascism.

I always do that, but if the eggs are fresh, they will still tend to stick to the shell.
It also helps prevent dark rings.

this happens usually with very fresh eggs

Exactly, I came to mention that too. So he/she should enjoy the egg being fresh.

Yes the story is sad all the way, the woman died shortly after. Some times life sucks, we were very good friends.
At least the new neighbors also seem nice.

assuming they have full ownership

You are mixing things up, I’m not talking about the project, I was exclusively talking about the code someone had made personally.
Linux for instance can never be made proprietary, because it’s impossible to get permission from all developers.
But anyone who has contributed a piece of code, can use that piece in other projects under different licenses. Because they retain copyright to their own code.

So as I stated it is academic to the project, and it’s especially academic to a fork of it.

Linux passing 5% is a major milestone, good to see Linux thrive. 👍 😎

Part of the jump at least appears to be explained by Valve correcting again the Steam China numbers

I wonder why there needs to be special correction for China, but I’m guessing it’s about some sort of bots probably farm bots.
If anyone knows more please share your knowledge.

OK this is getting a bit hairy, but AFAIK only the creator of the GPL code maintains copyright, and can take his code to a closed source project.
BUT the code that has been released as GPL remains open source, and cannot be made to be NOT open source.
So anybody has a right to use it, as long as they keep it open source. So in the case of open source projects, it’s academic that the creator of the code maintain the right to use it without the GPL conditions.

From the blog:

ONLYOFFICE is distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3 (AGPL v3)

And

preserving ONLYOFFICE branding in derivative works;

IDK seems to me it’s not really GPL if you can’t fork it, and that clause is certainly not compatible with any other GPL code.

If they use any GPL code they are probably in violation of that license.
Looks to me like they want to appear opensource, while keeping control of the code?

ensure a balance between openness of the code and protection of the rights of the copyright holder.

Yep there it is, this is completely contradictory to how GPL 3 works. You can’t call it GPL3 and at the same time claim the copyright.
ONLYOFFICE is completely misunderstanding how AGPL works.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Affero_General_Public_License

The main purpose of AGPL was to facilitate the use of GPL for online services, which wasn’t really possible to make with older GPL versions, because they require distribution of the source code together with the software.

Yes, that’s actually funny. 👍 😋

Modern batteries are way way better than they used to be, even alkaline is better and were quite expensive in the 90’s.
But it’s not only how much better they are, it’s the prices, alkaline is standard today, and you barely even look at the price, because they are dirt cheap.
But you are right that in electronics there have been much improvements, a modern flashlight is easily a 100 times better because of both LED and better batteries. LED improved it probably by a factor of about 10.
But for many things like a laptop, the power consumption hasn’t gone down that much, because the better batteries have actually made it possible to make more powerful laptops instead. the power consumption of a modest laptop CPU alone id 65 Watt, which would be HUGE in the 80’s.
I agree the 99% sounds like much, but I can attest to at least 80% probably more like 90% better batteries than the early 90’s.
Lithium batteries really was a game-changer, especially if you consider only rechargeable batteries.

Oh I understand the misunderstandings that can make it funny to the uninformed.
But please, on the off chance that it’s an angle I missed, please explain how something impossible is considered funny.

Yes I’m probably too old then.

Well at least some found it funny.

BYD tried to build buses in Ontario but they were so shit they had to close the plant and pay a bunch of lawsuits.

Wow interesting I didn’t know that, I’ve heard that China has too many car makers, and some of them would have to go. So this is probably just the beginning of an adjustment for Chinese makers.

Absolutely correct, we don’t want a competition based on social dumping or highest subsidies.
That’s why you make tariffs to compensate for that like the EU does, but EU has higher standards than USA, and is hit by tariffs in USA anyway, and although China has state subsidies, the 150% tariff doesn’t make the competition fair, it simply excludes any car made in China from being sold in USA.

OK for me the 80’s are way later, because the two were a threshold between two eras.
So to me 78 is way way later than 82. In the sense that that was the time things began to turn to shit politically.
We actually had a very popular song here in Denmark, about how buying a walk man made things sound like new your man.
Back then USA was kind of both cool but also something that we shouldn’t strive to copy.
The problem is that I had zero interest in anything like a walk man.
My interest was in big high power HiFi.
