Sandboxie is old, but these days Windows has a sandbox built in. You could use that (basically a lightweight VM) or a full VM. Windows also has a built-in hypervisor for VMs that helps them run efficiently.

For their study, the researchers obtained euthanized laboratory-reared female Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes, stored them in a freezer, then dipped them in a solution of 80% ethanol to sterilize them.

Next, the soft protective outer sheath of each insect’s proboscis was detached and discarded. An ultraviolet-curable resin was then applied to the now-exposed rigid section of the proboscis, and hardened by exposure to UV light. The resin-coated proboscis was then cut off of the mosquito’s body with a razor blade, forming a nice little rigid tube.

I can’t see this process scaling very well.

I get your point about he company we keep, but tankies are typically authoritarian communists, not Nazis, and antisemitism isn’t usually a part of their outlook. You’ll find far more fascists on other social media platforms.

If you avoid one or two instances you rarely encounter tankies on Lemmy. You’ll still encounter leftists, but that’s a good thing.

Trump has never in his life been “mentally OK”.

You’re right, sorry, my mistake. I had the wrong currency setting.

It’s nowhere near that cheap.

Surely you mean Gee.

The G in GIF stands for Graphical, but the G in Graphical stands for Graham Crackers, the G in Graham Crackers stands for God, and the G in God stands for Gnu. From there it’s Gnus all the way down. Also, God pronounces “Graphical” with a soft G as in Jod.

Well that makes more sense. Thanks for the information!

Is this named after Karl Popper? If so that’s unfortunate because Popper spent his life arguing against the validity of inductive reasoning in science. His distinctive contribution was to try to describe a scientific method that did not depend on induction.

In Chinese, affirmation is often compiled through negation:

没错 (méi cuò) = “not wrong” = Right

不差 (bù chà) = “not bad” = Decent

还行 (hái xíng) = “still passable” = Okay

没事 (méi shì) = “no problem” = It’s fine

In English, this feels bizarre. If something is good, you say:

Nice

Great

Perfect

Brilliant

You name the quality directly. You point at it. You own it.

In American positivity-laden, self-marketing, businessy English perhaps. But in the UK “not bad”, “could be worse”, “not wrong”, “can’t complain”, “I’ve had worse” and so on is often as positive as it gets, or at least was for a long time. American positive-speak gets on British people’s nerves; it’s perceived as boorish, boastful and unsubtle. And “no problem” is common in English all over. British people do say “brilliant” but only when they’re being unusually enthusiastic, or fake, or sarcastic.

Their agenda sounds good but apparently they’ve acted a bit shadily in various ways.

I have no idea how he manages to do so many things so well. Some people just seem to be built like that.

It’s a good time to preserve old hardware and the software that will run on it. If all these price crunches have a silver lining, I hope it’s that they motivate people to resist the pressure from tech corporations to be constantly upgrading.
