I love Sufjan Stevens, but I don't see the comparison. While I really love his lyrics (one of the few I actually like them, I usually find most artist lyrics to be plain and way too cheesy), his music is very simple compared to a behemoth like Mozart.

Mozart was able to write highly complex music very fast, that went from deep themes to silly ones, and enjoyed popularity from both critics and public, which is something quite rare.

I don't which one would be the closest today. Maybe something like Williams or Ennio Morricone.

Not to mention, Pomegranate in Spanish is Granada, literally Grenade. It's also one of the more famous regions in Spain, and it exports a lot of that fruit, which, as is usually the csse, has both Spanish and Portuguese on the labels to reduce costs.

No one in Portugal should jump to that conclusion unless they are ridiculously xenophobic.

Men cannot participate in Women competitions but Women can go to Mens. No one is scared of women, and this is done to promote the game to women.

This is the same as with other sports, like Rallying.

None, in modern context we can work in any base we desire, all that basic stuff got generalized ages ago. No one is going to change computing systems to use babylonian-style. And the trigonometry stuff is the same thing we knew, but discovered earlier than the greeks.

It's a important discovery for sure, especially for our understanding of ancient Mesopotamian cultures, but everything else is the authors and the article going bananas with conclusions.

Humanity will survive this but everyone will suffer the effects. Even something relatively minor like COVID had great effects to the global economy, but with these we are talking about:

• Weather inestabilization, with greater storms and massive heat waves.

• General crop failures in many places of the world.

• Desertification in many areas.

• Massive migration waves.

• Very difficult and unstable economy.

We are starting to see some of this, but 2050 onwards is going to be a very difficult time for all humanity except the most wealthy.

I have yet to find a memory hungry program thats its caused by its dependencies instead of its data. And frankly the disk space of all libraries is minuscule compared to graphical assets.

You know what's going to really bother the issue? If the program doesn't work because of a dependency. And this happens often across all OSes, searching for these are dime a dozen in forums. "Package managers should just fix all the issues". Until they don't, wrong versions get uploaded, issues compiling them, environment problems, etc etc.

So to me, the idea of efficiency for dynamic linking doesn't really cut it. A bloated program is more efficient that a program that doesn't work.

This is not to say that dynamic linking shouldn't be used. For programs doing any kind of elevation or administration, it's almost always better from a security perspective. But for general user programs? Static all the way.

Why cotton instead of linen? At least in Spain, linen is more popular as summer clothing, and definitively feels fresher.

Both of those progressing nicely in Spain, and the result was... a rise of the right, that has doubled down on destroying the aquifers in the south, the most affected region.

So the worse things become, the more people turn a blind eye to the issue.

nVidia GPUs:

970GTX was 329$ in 2014

1070GTX was 379$ in 2016

2070RTX was 499$ in 2018

3070RTX was 499$ in 2020

4070RTX is 599$ in 2023

Probably, the 5070 in 2025-6 will be 650-700.

The whole signing of kernel drivers and UEFI code has always felt more of a walled garden/security racket to get actual legitimate hobbyist/open source to pay a shit ton for certificates, rather than actual security. Especially with all the hoops with older version support (if you wanted to fully support win vista or early7 you needed to dual sign with sha1, and most cert companies didnt know that and you had to fight with them to provide one), and the super shitty page that was the windows development hardware center for signing.

I don't think that many content posters will leave. Sure, in tech oriented communities they will, as they are the ones most receptive to fediverse or other alternatives.

But painters, photographers, historians, chefs... etc are a large part of what make reddit great. And plenty of those don't really give a fuck about the platform. They will just use the official app and move on.

With the advances on SDcards, IPoAC is getting better and better.
