My read is not that. The "news" article is basically lamenting how the UK/Europe is handicapping itself "green" regulations, so their industry moves into evil China's realm. And that this action doesn't even do its purported goal of reducing CO2 emissions because he says that China "continues to build more new coal-fired power plants than the rest of the world combined."
I'm not sure if that claim is true, but his argument is not, "therefore we need to pass laws/tariffs on CO2-produced goods" for the sake of the planet. His point is the green regulations will enslave the west to China. Literally. "The inevitable end result will be subservience to China."

The first chicken run is absolutely phenomenal as a movie. Front to back, it is top-tier.
The sequel is top-tier stop motion on a technical level, and it is a good movie, but not quite like the first.

Notepad in wine is pointless compared to something like gedit, which you have, or similar editors like geany or kwrite. Cinnamon might even have their own basic text editor. And then there are further options like mousepad from the xfce project or featherpad from the lxqt project.
Notepad in wine will just lead to frustration because of poorer integration.
Finally, I just saw your edit and I think you’re spot on. Not because of ARM, which is actually decently supported, but because running an OS off of a microSD card is slow and tedious. It just isn’t made for that quick, small random access.

"The world trade center's distinguishing feature, the twin towers, no longer exist. Therefore, it is physically impossible to fly planes into them, thwarting any 9/11 style hijackers from performing a 9/11-2."
Seems like that settles the matter.

Pika Backup for /home/ to an external drive. It's an automatic solution with a simple GUI that serves as a front end to Borg iirc. Lets you easily browse and mount old backups. Anything outside of my actual personal files can be recreated or restored trivially, so I don't care to back them up.
I also have a manual dump of /etc/ but i change it so infrequently that it doesn't really need looking after.

I think this would best work by writing up a simple Dockerfile for Docker or Podman (one may already exist out there) and at minimum containerizing the work. That level of constraint is likely all that's needed and the end user can also control how much CPU is used, the networking interface to possibly proxy the connection if desired, and what directories are accessible.
Alternatively, a VM could accomplish the same in terms of safety. Of course a VM requires a pre-allocated block of RAM and a full guest OS installation.

I contacted Amazon customer service for the first time since I got my Kindle PW3 in 2017 with "Special Offers". Even after years of ads they want the full $20 to disable the special offers. I said thanks, but not for me! But as part of this process to get them to remove the special offers I preemptively turned on the WiFi on my Kindle for the first time in a long while. Somehow doing so deleted all of my Calibre-managed ebooks. I'm not kidding. BTW, if you have a kindle _do not_ connect it to WiFi! Especially if it's still on a blessed older firmware. You do not want to let it accidentally upgrade to a version that cannot be jailbroken, not until you are in full control and awareness of the upgrade process yourself. So with nothing to lose and all my ~~apes~~ ebooks... gone, I said to hell with it. I jailbroke my Kindle following [the instructions here](https://github.com/notmarek/LanguageBreak) (THANK GOODNESS I WAS ON A JAILBREAKABLE FW). This process involves wiping the contents of your Kindle, which effectively already happened to me. Then I followed the [instructions here](https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=320564) to install MRPI + KUAL. MRPI is like a command line package installer and KUAL is a GUI one. In my jailbreak journey I also referenced this page https://blog.fabricemonasterio.dev/kindle-jailbreak/ for some tips and workflow ideas, including how to get a dictionary for the next step... Which brings me to the Knock Out punch of why this was at all worth it. I installed https://koreader.rocks/. KOReader is an alternative ebook reader interface. By analogy, the experience is like taking your old mp3 player and installing RockBox on it to make it actually good. KOReader is similar, but it isn't a fully alternative operating system. It just kills the default React Native interface process and loads its own when you choose to use it. It also supports epubs natively. It is way more featureful and customizable compared to the default Kindle reader. In fact, it's a bit overwhelming at first. After getting a bit more used to it, I really appreciate what it does, and the advanced customization it offers. I will admit that navigating its UI is a bit clunkier than Amazon's UI, but I will take a bit of clunky any day when it adds native epub and superior pdf support. So now I have a Kindle that can load an alternative, superior interface, get epubs pushed to it wirelessly with Calibre, shows me the book I'm reading on the lock screen, and doesn't display or present any advertisements anywhere. I really like my Kindle again. ::: spoiler WiFi notes I use WiFi to remotely push books to the kindle. You could choose to never use WiFi and manually manage the ebooks but you have to exit KOReader and use the native Kindle interface, because USB doesn't mount in KOReader on Kindle. I also use a KUAL extension called `renameotabin` to help ensure my kindle never downloads and installs a newer firmware while on WiFi. Currently the latest firmware for my Kindle, 5.16.2.1.1, is also the latest version there's a jailbreak for. But if Amazon ever decides to resume supporting what seems to be an unsupported device, I don't want to be hosed. ::: ::: spoiler Bonus thoughts on the 'special offers' I honestly did not mind the special offers when I first bought my Kindle in 2017. Sure, my lock screen was an ad but otherwise the main Kindle interface was generally unobstructed and fine to use. I mostly disabled WiFi so the loaded ads would expire eventually anyway and just revert to some generic art. One day after using my Kindle like this for years curiosity got the better of me. I thought, as many seemed to, that epub support was finally on the way, so I upgraded my Kindle. As we all found out, the feature was to send an epub by email, which Amazon then converted to an azw3. They never supported epubs on the Kindle. I must've gone from a substantially older Kindle firmware version, because now I had a brand new UI on my Kindle. And in some ways it actually was better, but in more ways it was worse. The home screen was almost nothing but ads and suggested books to buy from Amazon. I do not know what the interface looks like on a non-special-offer Kindle, but it was so aggressively in my face that it did actually impact my experience with the device. It was annoying but I lived with it until my books were wiped for no reason. Once that happened I did the jailbreak as I described above, which reformats the Kindle's disk drive, but I didn't enable WiFi. Good enough for me, I thought. I will just plug in my phone and use Calibre to manage the library. Except even in this way the default Kindle UI is aggressively annoying. Every time I visited my ebook "library" (list of ebooks on the device), an annoying pop-up appeared telling me that to cloud sync my books I had to log in. There is no way to disable this alert from popping up other than by logging into my account. So I did. I had mistakenly believed the jailbreak itself would take care of the ads, but that's not so. The ads were back after logging in. And that's what led me to research removing the ads and, ultimately, KOReader (which by default isn't even designed to remove ads). So the best route I guess would've been to jailbreak, never connect my Kindle to the Internet and then install KOReader and manage it all offline. But I don't feel like wiping it again, so I just keep it off of WiFi except for when I'm managing ebooks. :::

FNAF the movie was bad. But the one thing that is annoying me is I cannot find anyone else in the world commenting about how Aunt Judy is killed by Golden Freddy in the family living room (btw, they can just leave the pizzeria now), and then at the end of the film they all go home and eat breakfast the next morning. No comment on the corpse rotting in their living room. It's just a massive oversight on the part of the filmmakers. It ties in nicely with the lack of scares and chills, the bewildering plot line, and massive under-utilization of some of the game's own tropes. IDK what they were trying to do with this movie, but that was some of the tamest "horror" I've ever seen in my life. And the only reason that is remarkable is because the game series it is based on is much scarier. So, my concluding remark is that the movie is bad whether you are familiar with FNAF or if it is your first exposure to the franchise.
Without realizing what I was getting myself into, I wrote some code using C11's `threads.h` (EDIT: every time I use the angle brackets `<` and `>` they just get eaten, even in the code snippet block.) I'm realizing after the fact that this is basically only supported on Linux (gcc/clang). This is my target platform, but I guess if I could cross compile to Windows or macOS that would be nice, too. C's threads nominally appear to be a great feature. Finally, a standardized and straightforward interface to threads that would be cross-platform compatible. The reality appears to be anything but. So is it worth just replacing that code with pthreads? Is there some near-term development on C threads that might make this worthwhile to use? I'm kind of surprised it hasn't really caught on some 12 years after the standard was introduced.
AntiFascist Linux, folks. Get your fresh AntiFascist Linux right here!  Primer for those who don't know what AntiX Linux is: It's a Debian derivative without Systemd. There are sysVinit and Runit versions available. AntiX can be used on newer computers, obviously, with the new release and up-to-date Linux kernel. But it is probably one of the best choices for extremely low spec hardware today, like if you have a computer you're running from the mid 2000s and insist on keeping it going. Its default desktop is run with IceWM. It will leave something to be desired, it's not the prettiest thing, but it is an extremely lean base system. Your CPU and RAM will all get blown up the moment you launch a modern web browser, of course. 
Hi. If you can buy the podcast and wish to listen, please send Brendan and Noah some dollars. Support indie creators. If for whatever reason you cannot, I have reencoded all of the episodes into 72kbps Opus for substantial space savings with a practically imperceptible quality difference, and cleaned up the metadata so the files look good in a good audio player. These files will work in any decent audio/podcast player (there are many crappy ones). I'll delete this post in the near future. {i deleted the link as i said i would}
IP is a joke. Fuck copyright. Fuck patents. Nintendo is out here patenting physics. > "The movement of movable dynamic objects placed in the virtual space is controlled by physics calculations, and the movement of the player’s character is controlled by user input. When the player’s character and a dynamic object come in contact in the downward direction relative to the character (in other words, when the character is on top of an object), the movement of the dynamic object is added to the movement of the player’s character.” These aren't even inventions. They are just obvious models of the real world that would occur to anyone who is trying to replicate physical interactions in a virtual world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_mechanics These are Japanese patents but I also have no fucking doubt a lot of this stuff has very obvious prior art even in gaming, to say nothing of other physics-based software packages.
