  • In this case I would. Its from the Snowden leaks and from the government for the government, never intended for our public eyes.

    Also if you don’t fully trust tor, just add another layer (e.g. VPN). If the government dissuades you from secure open infrastructure and gets you to use closed ones, they have won because companies can always be forced to comply. Algorithms on the other hand, can’t.


  • I don’t have a second screen right now, but here is my desktop with the 3 default task widgets. Only icons on top, switcher to the right, text and icons on the bottom. All in their own panels. Of course any panel could just be moved onto a second monitor. I remember this is possible since KDE 4 and stable since early KDE 5.

    KDE’s strength is its incredibly customizability. In the past this also lead to instability for unorthodox configurations, but the last few years it has also been very stable for me.



  • Had that on one of mine too (my main one I used for many years). Yes thats very bad, nearly unfixable and you can only use it with a second phone which provides a hotspot.

    But in case you want to get rid of it it would be great if you sent it to the team for development purposes (You can reach them on their mailing list https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/maemo-leste) or even I would be happy if you send it to me, so that I have spare parts and maybe I will dare to try to fix the modem.

    (Some people had success with stripping all temperature sensitive parts and plastics from the mainboard and baking the mainboard in the oven)

    In case you want to to keep it, believe me, I fully understand :) Maybe one day you will get the urge to fiddle with it again.


  • Still have it?You can try maemo Leste on it. https://maemo-leste.github.io/

    Far from usable as daily phone, but they are making good progress despite their small team. Dillo works as Browser for sites without js, SMS works well, calls are possible, Bluetooth is missing but everything else pretty much works.

    Of course the 256MB RAM pose a heavy limit for todays apps. You have to choose ones which use it sparingly. E.g. mupdf, gnumeric instead of libreoffice and so on.

    But its awesome for mobile ssh and, little games like SNES ones. I am starting to use it as second phone.


  • I have mostly abandoned Win for many years (I only have gaming PC where I still have dual boot) Has it really gotten that bad? Every time I boot up Win I am shocked how long this clean PC with only Games installed and high end hardware takes to get ready. But at least it does its job.

    On Linux (Kubuntu in my case) I haven’t had an issue with hanging software in a long time. Even browsers have become completely stable.



  • To explain this to the uninitiated: (First follow another explanation of the original combo)

    In Magic spells are not in effect immediately, instead they go on the stack, before they are resolved. Spells from a stack are resolved in LiFo order, so last in, first out. Instants, like Gut Shot, can be put on the stack at any time by any player (simplified).

    So Enemy gets his 21 mana with channel, you let that resolve, he has 1 life. He pumps it all into the fireball, now you act. While fireball is on the stack you cast Gut Shot, paying with 2 life of your 20. It goes on the stack. Your enemy hopefully has no response, without any mana left in his pool, and he looses his last life and the game.

    When a player looses the game all his spells are removed from the stack, so you really win and there is no draw.

    You stopped his combo with 4 cards worth unreal amounts of money with a single card worth about 50ct.

    Also she herself said that Otto Hahn deserved the Nobel prize. She and Otto Frisch (far kess known than she is!) did the theoretical work regarding the physics behind it.

    But Pauli got the physics prize that year, and he sure deserves it. Maybe one of the later prices could have been awarded to her.
