The French city of Lyon has taken a major step toward digital sovereignty by officially starting a move away from Microsoft software. . The city is gradually set to replace Microsoft Office with open source alternatives like ONLYOFFICE and switch from Windows to Linux-based operating systems to reduce dependency on proprietary offerings.
never heard of ONLYOFFICE, any good?
Do you count the Byzantine as separate or the same as Rome?
Your talking about structures comprising huge numbers of people across multiple generations. There is no clear “death”. Just the gradual shifting from one set of conditions to another. Pick any line in the sand, declare it to be the “end” of an empire, and you’ll still find people living under its rules, speaking the language, and using the currency well afterward.
Hell, look at Britain. No longer the globe-strangling power that they were, but it’s still the same country with the same rules and government and money.
Lighting is usually a good giveaway.
Take this alpaca(?). Standing outside, casting a relatively clear shadow, and yet still mostly lit uniformly. The background doesn’t necessarily contradict where the sun is supposed to be, but it also doesn’t seem give any support to it either.
you’re life decisions aren’t gonna change anything, sometimes you just grow up to be a moth

uh, I’m a total quantum layman, but I’m pretty sure its the detector.
#4 is on the bleeding edge of fashion, while #6 doesn’t give a damn.
My example is more in regards to wave/particle duality as it shows up in variations of the double slit experiment. Putting a detector at one of the slits is an active interaction, giving you the particle-like behavior rather than the interference pattern.
wooo! comp-sci dropout! I heard way too many of you describe the kind of code that gets written under deadlines and client demands. Programming is fun, why would I want to ruin it by turning it into work?

what a vile existence, I cannot stop imaging it
872·1 month agoWhen researchers say “observe” they actually mean “measure”. And when you’re working with sub-atomic particles, “measure” isn’t some passive activity. It’s an active thing. When you measure small particles you are applying some force upon them, changing them in some way from how they would otherwise act.
Imagine if you were tasked with measuring traffic on the other side of the planet, but you had no cameras. The only tool you had was a gigantic 30 ton, satellite-networked pendulum swinging across the highway. The only way you know if there are cars on the highway is if the pendulum thwacks into one of them. That’s quantum particle physics… I think.
If you’re organizing protests, you really don’t want your online presence linked to your actions or your identity.
throw in a smattering of aristocratic titles, and yeah that describes UK politics.
yeah, that’s some counter-productive signage.

The issue is the price gouging still exists for everyone who isn’t on Medicare. You have to either be old enough, or prove to the government that you fit their criteria for disabled before you get the reasonable price.
Cursed to look into the great mysteries of existence with a mind high tuned for pattern recognition and projecting familiar narratives.
Is that something beyond our current understanding? No, no, it’s just a familiar desktop environment. But fuck you if you project a name and a face into the unknown. That’s backwards and primitive!
