That “article” is painful to try and read, it’s like a run on thought that bounces all over the place. The author really should make a clear outline and could probably cut out half by not saying the same thing over and over and over again. I stopped after the third time I read about Fedora flatpaks are different from flathub flatpaks, and users like flathub more, but the author is apparently eventually going to explain why that’s an issue after 2K words of nonsense.

Your generic “barcode” for something like a UPC is considered a 1D barcode and uses things like the spacing of the lines and thickness to encode data. Although some 1D barcodes can detect the barcode is damaged they cannot do error recovery.

Your 2D barcodes, like QR or Data Matrix, store data in both directions and depending on format can have varying levels of error correction (duplicate data) built into the barcode. They also obviously can take up less room and hold the same or more data as well. You do need a scanner that can do 2D barcodes though, as not all scanners will read them.

They are not at all the same thing.

A QR code is just a 2D barcode that can be used to hold a certain amount of alphanumeric data (and amount is limited by size).

While pkpass is an Apple format used in its wallet app to store data.

Love that as soon as his name got attached to Epstein, that he’s shifted to damage control and trying to push this narrative that it’s been a “radical Left” issue this whole time. And trying to get all his conspiracy people to move on to an election that at this point doesn’t matter either way is just full panic.

They filled lawsuits all over the country that they had to withdraw because they had no evidence, yet continue to claim to be ready to release all the “evidence” they have anytime now for years. I think even his Supreme Court is going to find it hard to invent constitution law to back up their conspiracy theories. I would love to see them try though, make it televised, since they are just pissing away tax dollars anyway.

You just need megamaid!

Have you tried the default Fedora kernel? Also you didn’t install TLP did you?

Well those white South Africans needed that asylum because of the white genocide going on in Africa. /s

Also Trump has to do something to distract his base from the fact he just had his DOJ do a huge Epstein coverup after promising to bring the pedo cabal to justice for years.

Interesting that they would be confused at all. I have an interest, because Canada is cool, but I won’t be visiting anytime soon because I know we are the worst and nobody is going to want us there. I also don’t want to deal with assholes at the border, even though I’m a US citizen they have carte blanche to do anything they are in the mood for.

Are you trying to kill the beautiful birds and drive the whales crazy?! /s

Have you tried sweeping your forests, I remember that was the issue in California. /s

Before and after. Like you said, the occurrence of one unfortunately doesn’t stop humans from carrying out another elsewhere.

All good! The internet makes it even harder to tell because I can’t “read” anyone over the ether.

I don’t think they need to make their games FOSS to do right by the consumer. If you have an online game and no longer want to support the server part, it would be super cool to share that code, but at the very least companies shouldn’t be trying to shut down community servers. The same goes for the game itself, the source code would be very cool, but not going after people who still want to play the game they’ve chosen to no longer support seems reasonable.

If a company is ending support their ability to enforce copyright should also end, outside of people that are trying to profit off trying to resell the game as their own (which probably doesn’t happen all that much).

By 2035 we could be under water, or all living in a radioactive hellscape. And the argument of paying people to use a free service breaks logic.

All these left of fascist, but still love some good old fashioned racism and misogyny shitheads, will hopefully leave some room for more progressives on the left, and the Right will continue in just more dysfunction.

Vance has the respect and following of nobody. No way the GOP stand behind Vance fucking a couch if something happens to Trump.

They tried, but any additions or removals required a vote they lost every time. They of course could have used all their interns time making a list of amendments to be voted on, and then space them out for as long as the GOP kept trying to cram this shit through even though nobody is happy with it.

Well a bunch of them are using WSL to do their work, which isn’t the same, but shows how many people are just stuck with a Windows box.

In StackOverflow 2024 survey ~17% of both professional and personal use users were using WSL.
