The problem with trebuchets though is that the trebuchet makers are less well connected politically, so there's less opportunities for graft along the way.

It depends if the plane is pressurized or not. There's no xray or other security theater for turbo prop flights.

Should be if it's a commercial flight.

Same in Germany. Graffiti everywhere; walls, buildings, fences, signs, historic monuments. It's awful and I don't know why they can't manage to do anything about it, but it also seems like no one cares about it as a problem to begin with. To me, such an individual invasion of the public space seems like a mockery of the common trust and the notion that the Europeans (and the Germans especially) have some sort of communal responsibility.

For someone who has only used offline, local password vaults, what is the advantage of a cloud-based solution (for personal use, not enterprise)? I'm interested in their self hosted option, but not sure what the advantages would be over keepass and syncthing.

Convenience and portability for people who don't want to use, or aren't going to learn how to use, anything more complex than an app, browser extension, or website.

Accessing a password vault from any arbitrary internet-connected device and browser through the web is also convenient, even if to you or I that serves more as a reminder of how accessible your passwords might become to unauthorized users. Sharing credentials between Bitwarden users is also more convenient.

If you self-host, you can provide those service to friends or family members who don't have your technical aptitude. For teams and businesses, it provides an auditable service with directory integration and other optional enterprise features (SSO, fine-grained access).

All of these are possible without a SaaS, just less convenient to set up. You and I might consider setting up our own personal password management to be a fun and useful project, or at least a trivial time expense compared to the value. When something like Bitwarden provides all of those features and more for $0 to $10/year, even a small time and maintenance burden might not seem worth it to a less technically savvy user.

The big thing that got me to move off passwordstore to BW (and self-hosted vaultwarden) was sharing passwords with family. The app and browser extensions are nicer, too.

Or later, seeing how long it took to load /usr/bin in a filemanager.

Wayland as a just protocol... Isn't that the same argument they used when it shipped without copy/paste or a screensaver?

It's not an "argument", it's just a description of what Wayland is. But no, the correct protocol has had copy-paste since day one, and I dont remember there being issues with screensavers.

In the metaphor of a web server and a web browser, Wayland would be the HTTP specification. What you're usually interested in is what server you're running, e.g. GNOME's Mutter, KDE's Kwin, sway, niri, or what client you're running, e.g. Gtk4, Qt6, etc.

Wayland don't support screensaver and clipboard is managed by portals no?, idk why the complain tho, no one uses screensaver and clipboard being managed by a portal dsounds more logical than creating a protocol for that

Removing support for Radeon VII is a bonehead move that smacks of stupidity or greed. The cards were targeted for enthusiast gamers but have enterprise level hardware, like HBM2 memory and 1 TB/s bandwidth.

Twitter was never slim or lightweight. At the time, I remember checking its page weight only to find the website loaded over 100k of scripts and other cargo. With a 140 character limit, one can only conclude that the other 99.9% was malware and anti user algorithms, probably in an attempt to replicate Facebook.

That was later. Initially, you could post to Twitter by sending an SMS message. No scripts to load, no tracking of what you were doing.

What kind of character limit would justify 100k of scripts?

The IDF has been entirely dependent on US and European armaments and funds for all of its battles, with the only exception being the '47 independence war. Since then, Israel has been a Western military-industrial client state. The current genocide is entirely funded by the US.

It seems foolish, because giving the defense industry a free subsidy via Israel annoys our Arab oil suppliers and our oil companies, but there must be enough corporate welfare to go around because the defense companies and the oil companies haven't gone to war with each other directly, yet.
