1. If that’s so, then that’s not what you said. You said “plants keep evolving into trees”. While it’s true that we give the name “trees” to a variety of plants with different genetics, all of them share a common ancestor: otherwise they wouldn’t be plants but something else.

There’s a single origin for everything. It doesn’t matter how many times the descendants of that common ancestor have diverged and reconverged.

He needs to go there personally to break ground though.

Saving you a click: Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell.

Great job, bot.

Well, yeah. That’s what the spectrum is.

Low end: “you can see the source but can’t do anything with it” (questionable whether this counts as open source at all)

High end “do what you want, it’s literally yours” (public domain).

One can debate where the low boundary of “open source” is, or what makes one license more or less free than another, but the spectrum is the range of limitations.

It is a spectrum (MIT vs GPL vs APL for example) but this is outside that spectrum.

I think pasting directly into “search and go” if you middle click in a browser is certifiably insane.

Maybe acceptable as “paste and go” if it recognizes the clipboard contents as a valid URL.

That’s not a problem with middle click paste, that’s a problem with Firefox. If you hit ctrl+v in Firefox does it search for whatever is in your clipboard? No, so why should it do that when you paste by mouse click?

No it doesn’t, because middle-click paste doesn’t interfere with any other function. There’s no downside to having it.

Don’t have to worry about that, win11 isn’t reliable enough for that.

We had a similar situation for a voicemail system though.

Better to link to the main page rather than the download page that immediately tries to download the app.

Sadly I doubt my employer would take kindly to me using this tool.

Absolutely.

Just need a way to admin Active Directory from Linux and I’m set…

4. Repeat step two forever when Microsoft decides there was a problem that can be solved by resetting your default browser.

It is, but slower.

GoG can’t compete because they won’t. They haven’t had a functional Linux client in what, a decade?

I’m much more interested in the conclusions and the meaning of the numbers, for two big reasons:

• It doesn’t matter much if the reduction is 90%, if the remaining 10% is still enough to be a problem. It sounds like a lot, but I have some doubts that it actually makes much difference.
• I care a lot more about locations outside the toilet than the specific locations in and on the toilet. The toilet is assumed to be contaminated regardless, the question is whether or how much it is contaminating the rest of the room.

The floor and the walls of the restroom were contaminated after toilet flushing, but no significant differences were observed between the contamination occurring with lid position up or down. Wall contamination was minimal, regardless of lid position, and there was no significant difference in contamination level between the surfaces assessed, but data indicated that the trajectory of the aerosol plume contamination may have changed. Floor contamination was not found to be reduced consistently by toilet lid closure prior to flushing. […] it appears that closure of the toilet lid is not effective in reducing the contamination of the toilet seat area or contamination of other areas (fomites, floors, walls) within the restroom.

opening a cupboard in the kitchen to get something then just leaving the cupboard open isn’t it?

I feel personally attacked.

The toilet, since the seat doesn’t block animal access.

I’d be worried about drips from the dog though.

Happy (urinal?) cake day!
