Are you sure the SN is only on a piece of paper?

As part of her spending review today, Rachel Reeves announced that every child in a Universal Credit household will now be eligible for state-sponsored lunches.

Currently, Universal Credit households must earn under £7,400 per year to qualify.

The majority of the proceeds better go to the original author of the chapter

it’s unrelated burmese script

the character represented by chr(sum(range(ord(min(str(not())))))) is way cooler

it will matter when it’s gone…

yes

(it’s polarizing and a bit different for different people who want different things. i’m on the “it’s abysmal” side)

We’re comparing “similar” alternatives to 2024 ABC News here, no?

yeah I think you’ve got to have a beat for that joke to land

Fireborn later endorsed the BT Speak PDA which runs a custom open source OS with the Linux kernel

Pushing buttons against a vertical surface or one leaned backwards when it’s a keyboard’s distance out of your way is very awkward.

And at this point the technology is so cheap there’s no reason not to include it.

It’s about $100 dollars plus support e.g. for dust accumulation especially for the cheap devices.

Well unless your company’s entire profit structure is based on charging exorbitant amounts for minor upgrades and making the lowest cost option almost always have some sort of glaring deficiency to try to push users to pay hundreds more than they need to for the “optional” upgrades that should have just been included and cost pennies on the dollar for the company.

That sounds like all the more incentive to provide a touch screen. What’s your conspiracy theory for them not providing it, if not just that it sucks?

oh god is taiwan learning to gacha?

… the political prowess of gacha remains to be seen

No, it’s like banning e.g. Quicken from an accounting competition. Or banning calculators from the AMC. Allowing AI would make the contest meaningless.

I tried MacPorts once and felt Homebrew was less confusing

The only source I would trust here that you linked is the famous 1998 CJR article. It just points out the misnomer caused by what we call the incident to point out that mass killings happened elsewhere while students were peacefully evacuated from the square itself. Of course I also trust the photos you linked are real. But just like the aforementioned myth (also explored by the CJR article), you perpetuate the myth of the crackdown being on primarily student protests when far far more of the dead were of the inspired workers’ protest, especially those killed as the army was heading into Tiananmen. Such violent crackdowns made it so Deng could not recover his influence until 1992.

Yes, students did stone and kill soldiers and Molotov APCs, including the lynching of (just) one soldier as depicted in the photos. But that does not justify the hundreds of protestors killed with live ammunition. Yes, there was no carnage in the square during the Tiananmen square massacres. Misnomers abound. But as a person I try to get others to understand me in communication. Yes, the “Tiananmen square” part is a misnomer. But who’s gonna understand me if I go about every day saying “June Fourth Incident”? Not to mention a lot of the killings were also committed around 11 PM the previous day.

I also did a bit of a misnomer: It’s dubious whether you could define the mass killings as massacres. My point was that China ordered the army to do what they did. It sounds to me like Kirp was characterizing the other regions’ hatred to blame for what happened around Tiananmen, which hopefully we can agree was not what happened.
