Those homophones have reeked havoc for too long!

Note that this means "83% of people killed were civilians", not that 83% of civilians were killed. As the graph in the article illustrates, that puts this neck and neck with other recent genocides:

Dolphin does have dual pane and can do things like FTP but Krusader has much more keyboard control, more advanced filtering, can use root, is much better at comparing files, and other things I'm sure I'm forgetting.

I'm not familiar with Directory Opus but try Krusader (sort of a spiritual successor to Norton Commander)

Understandable - they're anticipating eventual judgments against themselves.

I'm sure all those enterprise clients are positively champing at the bit to switch to Linux 🙄 Can I have a conversation about computers here without it being about Linux? And I say this as somebody who uses Linux full-time on all their computers.

includes a much broader library of softwate than Microsoft has ever maintained.

This is true, but isn't what I was referring to. The problem MS are facing is not what they themselves have built, but the huge number of apps that other businesses have built over the years which prevent MS from rewriting or deprecating many parts of the bloated zombie that is now Windows.

Ackshually this is well within the range of a Class F star, unlike our class G sun which is a bit cooler. This is getting cloe to the temperature of Procyon A which is noticeably whiter than the sun.

All software is either shit to begin with or becomes shit when it gets big enough. If a Linux distro were forced to maintain as much legacy cruft as Windows it would be shit too.

FWIW I use Obsidian on desktop and Nextcloud Notes on mobile (along with Nextcloud sync for, uh, syncing) and it works great. All this and a TB of storage only costs me about 5 EUR/mo with Hetzner.

The Google Reader comparison is excellent, that one still hurts... I think RSS usage has simply declined tremendously overall though, as opposed to PKM which is still going strong (I think/hope)

What none of them do well is syncing and collaboration without paying for hosting or self hosting.

Not to pick on you here, but you're surprised that nobody is bulding an app for free and then paying for a server to also give away for free? Open source devs already struggle to make ends meet - now they're supposed to operate at a loss?

Me too, but I figure a clone will pop up very quickly if that happens, and I'll already have an easily portable folder with markdown files.

I know this won't go over well here but I don't really care that Obsidian isn't FOSS, because it's just a frontend for markdown files in folders. There's no lock-in whatsoever, and it being FOSS or not makes no functional difference.

Especially if that's access the other airlines don't have. Westjet has been on strike before and I don't remember the feds stepping in.

Thanks - if that was the rationale, then AC should be (re-)nationalized. No private company should be allowed to become so essential to the functioning of our country.

It would be nice if the article explained why the tribunal declared the strike unlawful. What was the rationale?

Yeah, and uncrewed, one where you can operate everything solo or as a couple. Big crewed ones can easily be 20k per day to run.

Not even close - megayachts are 9 figures and that doesn't include the absurd crewing and other operational costs. There's no way he could own let alone operate one on a $4M income.

Sure, but choosing to live on $160k/yr would be a bit much when you're starting with $1.6B. I can't fault him for still wanting to enjoy being wealthy instead of upper-middle-class and definitely don't think it's reasonable to complain that giving away 95% of his wealth is somehow not enough.
