TIL that Mutt is already 25 years years old. AAAND: It's got an awwwwwsome birthday picture: http://www.mutt.org/
I never have experienced the fear of "switching tasks will kill my critical process" on Linux or OS/2, but it seems to be a valid fear on Windows systems still today.
In the USA, the Republicans are killing themselves. (Just not fast enough.) https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/06/220609173704.htm

I guess my habit of turning off WiFi/BT on my #Librem5 with the hardware kill switch when I leave the house isn't just good for battery life: https://gizmodo.com/bluetooth-tracking-iphone-airtags-1849042375 #privacy #security
Weird I removed the @ from a series of replies and they weren't kept as a series. Only the first reply was still attached to the original posting. I wonder if it's a big in Mastodon or Librem Social?
Maybe the problem with software is that like art the measure of it is more subjective than objective. One could argue that a running system is objective, but that compares more to the value of art (i.e., how well it sells), than an objective measure of quality.
3/3
Much of the subject matter separation is much more visible in the physical universe. e.g , it's easier to see the difference between energy source and motive translation and understand how such subject matter domains can be swapped (battery vs gas or car engine vs jet engine) to fit the application.
The build upon problem applies to art as well as software; not many builds pastiches of bad art.

One of the most significant papers from Japan's sample return mission to asteroid Ryugu was published in Science today.
It's a monumental result, according to other planetary scientists. Essentially, we now have access to pristine materials from the very earliest days of the solar system, some 4.5ish billion years ago and we can study them on Earth.
A big deal.

LinkedIn is a steaming pile. No wonder Microsoft was falling all over itself to acquire it: it fits right into their offerings.

Cryptocurrency is a scam and an unlicensed security. People "invest" in cryptocurrencies with the expectation that their "coins" will increase in value. That increase in value is solely dependent on more people buying the currency. Just like any other pyramid scheme. There is no asset value or economic production underlying cryptocurrency. It is a socially-distributed fraud scheme. Lots of true believers putting money in. A few at the top are raking it in. Stay away from that shit.
Looks like we've probably failed to fix society, before the sociopathic ultra rich will have the means for immortality in cyborg bodies.

Hey Fediverse - feel free to boost this question.
Is anyone developing or does anyone know of "brain training" phone/tablet games SPECIFICALLY aimed at users with dementia.
I'm thinking like, bejewelled, hidden object, endless matching, <whatever>scapes, but they need to be ad-free, low-distraction, big visuals, low stakes/low stress.
I almost want toddler busy-games. But for senior adults. SagoBiggie!

@lightweight or perhaps they should have listened to the unions? Is there even any real need to fully automate the port? Round here at Felixstowe they do have some automation but there's still a lot of work done by real humans and (supply chain issues aside) they don't seem to be having major problems and the port is still thriving, as is Ipswich which has more bulk cargo so full automation isn't as feasible anyway...
C++ sucks!
