I mean there’s the EWMM, emacs based windows manager. So it can absolutely do anything.
Nobody’s made a Wayland compositor running in emacs yet, just an X11 window manager!
EDIT: Okay, apparently they have, ewx, but unlike EXWM, it’s not really in a usable state.
And edit videos.
A 1920 pre-European-Union proposal to partition Europe into a set of radial political divisions divisions centered on Vienna. I saved it to submit it to !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz as part of a larger thread.
I don’t know if I’d call it a favorite, but Time Cube is pretty iconic of Internet zaniness for a certain period. It went down in 2015, a decade ago now.

I could have guessed Liberia, but I remember being genuinely surprised when I first discovered that Belize spoke English. I’d have expected Spanish, given the geography.
The man had been previously arrested on wildlife crimes in Sri Lanka in 2024, and had in the past tried to move wolves, meerkats, black cockatoos, sugar gliders, porcupines, ball pythons, iguanas, frogs, salamanders and turtles, officials said.
After the difficulties that arose in the porcupine attempt, it was pretty clear that pythons were the way to go for underwear smuggling.
Setting aside the specifics of the case, I do think that from a UI standpoint, cars either need to support being left in park without the climate control eventually cutting off or be so extremely clear that this will happen that it would be extremely difficult for a user to miss, as this is a legitimate example of a “fail-deadly” feature.
IIRC from reading comments from people who have slept in their car and very much want the ability to leave the climate control system active, at least some Toyota models do support leaving the climate control active for extended periods of time, but the car needs to be in “Ready” mode. It was not immediately obvious to users that this was the case.
Veterans before refugees
I’m reasonably confident that the UK isn’t preventing British military veterans from entering the UK.
Do you want the router to also be 10" rack-mountable? That seems like it’d be a big input into the hardware you get.
But it won’t make the water taste like it didn’t come from a pond.
They do make water filters that will pull larger stuff out.
I understand that the American Sawyer and the Swiss LifeStraw make popular small, portable devices.
Anyone tried water purifying tablets yet, and would you recommend them?
They’ll kill bacteria in water, though obviously they can’t pull chemicals out of it.
I wouldn’t be worried about bottled water going bad after a year — I’ve kept distilled water for much longer than that — but if you want more capacity in a smaller package than by storing water, you can get a water still, distill water yourself as long as you have some source of water and some sort of sufficient heat (e.g. a fire).

If you don’t have access to a water source but have sufficient electrical power — which in the past I’d have said probably isn’t very likely if the government can’t get water to the public in 72 hours, but isn’t as crazy as it once might have been, what with people running around with beefy home solar setups and the like — it’s possible to run devices that condense water out of the air off the cold side of a heat pump, these sorts of things:

I’d guess that for most people, the most-practical and cost-effective approach is probably just to estimate how much water one might need and store that much potable water in advance. That takes care of the “have a source of water”, “get any energy required to purify it”, and “purify it” points all at one go. Doesn’t require a lot of expertise, effort, or place constraints on your environment to open a bottle of water.
Earlier this year the European public was urged to stockpile enough food, water and essentials for 72 hours to cope with a military attack, natural disaster, power cut or major industrial accident.
Honestly, unless you have some sort of serious medical condition, most people should be just fine going 72 hours without food. We’ve a social convention of eating three meals a day, sure, but your body is quite able of running off stored energy for a long time. I’ve fasted for a week myself for the hell of it. I remember mentioning that to an aunt once, and she mentioned that she’d done two weeks.
This guy did over a year (though he was pretty heavy to begin with, had plenty of fat reserves).
Barbieri went from 456 pounds (207 kg) to 180 pounds (82 kg), losing 276 pounds (125 kg) and setting a record for the length of a fast.
There’s a whole class of controllers, often called “fightsticks”, which have a full-size arcade-style joystick and a ton of buttons, to reproduce the feel of arcade fighting games.

Honestly, I feel like Morrowind is the title least in need of a remaster, as unlike later 3D titles, it has an open-source fan reimplementation of the engine, OpenMW, plus the fan updates of content.

It looks like the OpenMW people are also working on a VR version.
That’s basically what I’d expect. The US isn’t going to aim to compete with China by putting more riflemen in trenches than China — China has lower wages and more people, not the battlefield you want — but by aiming to maintain a tech and hardware advantage and leveraging that. That’s going to involve spending on military systems procurement.
Depends on the game.
I think that they have been used effectively in games like Starbound and Terraria or many roguelikes and roguelites.
I think that there have been some games where they do not work well.
Starfield has a beautiful terrain generator, but different terrain doesn’t really change gameplay, nor does combat really scale up to making use of very large maps, so you have the ability to explore infinite expanses of planets, but it doesn’t really provide much in gameplay terms. Aside from finding a cluster of useful resources near each other for an outpost, which isn’t that interesting from a gameplay standpoint and doesn’t need most of the terrain generator’s functionality, it’s mostly just cosmetic.
I think that they work best where how you play the game changes substantially based on the mix of features of the dungeon. Then throwing a new mix each time at the player helps keep things interesting.
The phone system doesn’t have a way to identify people other than Caller ID, and that’s vulnerable to various forms of spoofing.
How to look it up:
That’s “Meta-X” (Alt-X), then “org-mode” and Enter, switches the major mode of the current buffer to org-mode so that we have the org-mode keybindings active.
C-h, Control-H, is the “help” prefix. “C-h k” isdescribe-key, tells you what a given key sequence runs.C-h k C-c C-x C-lwill say whatC-c C-x C-ldoes. It gives the following output:
