Yes. It's sort of slowly converging with the equivalent functionality in iPadOs.

I guess Apple either think this kind of functionality is too fiddly or it's at odds with where they want their Split View semi-tiled approach to go.

Lack of MS Windows-style tiling is indeed something of an odd omission in macOS.

Normal daily physical activity (not hours of cardio at the gym) isn’t responsible for a huge part of your typical caloric expenditure.

If you’re noticing a large difference, it’s likely due to appetite related changes or even simply perception differences, not actual energy expenditure changes.
Does this or Vanced help with the problem I have: my kids are being brainwashed via Google's algorithms?

More specifically, I hate that when they watch YouTube it is pushing really shitty content on them.

Is there a way with either of these apps to filter out things I don't want them to watch, or perhaps even have a list of things I only want them to watch?

I don't think my kids would notice if they couldn't get Ninja Kidz and their spammy Walmart plastic crap they are always shilling to my kids.

China has said Russia should respect Ukrainian territory publicly.

Personally I guess they will support Russia via trade and not partake in sanctions.

Form this I feel the west has to put tariffs or reduce trade on nations that trade with Russia for maximum effect. It could also be a useful way to rebalance the trade with China which is the aim of some western governments.

China is also in a bind as if they recognise the break away regions this gives political credit to Taiwan's independence. From this I suspect they will continue to publicly offer Ukrainian support, and appear as the peace makers, but do little in actual effect.

I think right now in the west in general the appetite for getting hands-on in Ukraine is just not there.

As sad as it may be for Ukraine, they're going to have to do what they can to defend themselves with aid and supplies.

The one thought I have around this is Canada. Spitballing: There's a huge Ukrainian population there and the deputy PM has personal ties to the region. It's entirely possible, especially given recent events, that Trudeau decides it's politically expedient to get involved directly in some meaningful way. They'd also have to try to convince the other parties helping them maintain government. Even if that happens though, I suspect that won't make a difference to the outcome and the rest of NATO would look at it as a Canadian solo operation. I'd give this about a 0.001% chance of happening, maybe less. Any politician who got boots on the ground (barring some unforeseen change in circumstance) would probably be skewered public opinion-wise and be essentially kissing re-election goodbye.
Of course, it’s definitely possible. Just doesn’t seem like there are good reasons to spend time directly rendering the same font characters repeatedly, right? That’d be spending a lot of compute doing something you can pre-render and cache in a texture. ;) This is why a lot of CPU implementations render text atlases too.
>Reddit naturally incentives low effort content.

This is true, and applies to pretty much the entire web at this point. Back when it was people blogging, and getting replies on other blogs, there was time to sit and ponder, and edit things, even after posting them, before they were read.

We all want that feedback to know we've been heard, and our time spent writing and editing wasn't a total waste. The walled gardens optimized on filling that void, and turned it up to 11. They did it via algorithm and structure of computer mediated spaces, all optimized by corporations that MUST seek profit, by law.

I'm thankful every day for Dang, and this little peaceful contemplative space. I try... not always successfully, to accept when I've disturbed the peace and gotten the odd downvote by the community here.

Ukraine has made no NATO application (they last had a membership action plan in 2009). They've been told that they would not succeed or meet the criteria currently.
According to that article, Putin wanted Russia to join NATO, but NATO told him "join the queue with all the other countries". Russia argued it should get special treatment (for obvious reasons) but NATO didn't agree with that.

I wonder, how would the world have turned out if NATO had made a different decision here?

(Just to be perfectly clear, I'm not arguing that NATO decisions justify Russia's invasion of Ukraine.)

> Give it 72 hours.

Wasn't that the intel estimate on how long it'd take Russia to take over? I saw Biden's statement that he was sending thoughts & prayers while he watched this and would talk it over with world leaders tomorrow. Since the last few rounds of sanctions did nothing after Crimea, I don't see this changing things.
The party was never truly over, was it?

I know many people who have escaped Ukraine over the last century. I say escaped, because for most of the last hundred years the Ukrainian people have been in a vice. Their culture, society and history have been gradually erased. The expats I know who left a few generations ago don't consider recent generations of Ukrainian peoples to even be Ukrainian. Russia has been bitterly grooming their neighbor ever since they were divorced in the fall of the USSR, but even before that, too.

It's all so sad. Beyond the deaths, turmoil, economic destruction, if Putin sees this through then an entire nation will have been erased. Erased!

I don't want a world war, but we must ask ourselves when is it worth risking sacrifice of that which is personal. When the next nation is consumed? When it's too late?

I recently worked with some really lovely peers from that region, from Ukraine. I wish I could teleport them somewhere else.

All of this makes me feel so sick.

Despite that, NewPipe is incredibly useful, especially if you don't want to Google to violate your privacy.

Given that it violates Google's TOS and that Google is liable to break it by changing YouTube parameters, etc., then it seems to me that we should be tolerant of its foibles.

Given the situation I'm surprised that it works well as it does.

>if Putin never would have allowed an independent Ukraine, why would NATO reject his demands to reject Ukraine's NATO application?

Euromaidan happened 2013. Putin already lost the Ukraine back then. By annexing the Crimea and sending Russian troops now he is taking the Ukraine back.

I may be mistaken but I think whether the Ukraine was actually joining NATO or not wasn't really relevant in this conflict IMHO.

>If Russia was going to invade anyway, why not at least try to de-escalate and negotiate for a sovereign Ukraine?

For the couples months there were negotiations. Was there a possibility to avoid the current conflict?

I think unless you're the U.S./Russian diplomat it's impossible to answer this question.
I’m sure if you ask public servants in Afghanistan and Russia, they’ll both agree that they have the overwhelming support of the citizenry and any statements to the contrary are obviously lies.
The reason Putin is invading is because he knows the U.S. is weak, its leadership is politically weak, and there's very little it will do, and even if it does, it doesn't have popular support. It's the effect of clear incentives.

If the U.S. intervenes, a retaliatory cyber op from Russia against critical infrastructure would make america amish again. Then, wait until midterms when the president loses the house and senate and doesn't have the power to muster a draft when China takes Taiwan. This is one of those happening slowly and then all at once events in history I suspect.
"... a platform infested with bigotry, consipracies, scams, misinformation, graphic violence, etc..."

Thought for a second there this was referring to YouTube and the videos its recommendation algorithms present. Heck the web is filled with this sort of garbage, just peruse the .com zone file. The majority of websites are junk. Yet we still "support" the web, a "platform" infested with the worst humanity has to offer.
Does it need to be "go to war"? How many NATO aircraft would it take to give the Ukrainians on the ground the upper hand? For all his bluster, do you think Putin really wants to escalate beyond Ukraine? He's playing a game of chicken with the west and winning.

Hitler did the same thing right up until 1939. From what I've read he was actually surprised that the allies finally called his bluff after Poland, considering they just rolled over after the Rhineland, Austria, and Czechoslovakia.

That particular site has quite interactive 'painting/drawing' features (select the 'freeform' option, press a key to 'paint' with that letter using the mouse), which is the type of thing I remember from similar ascii art programs 'back in the day' :).

No matter how useful the tool, it's still the artist that makes the art of course. But the tools can make a real difference in how creative someone can be - I doubt much of the really creative ascii art is/was made with notepad.

My point was simply that there are tools out there that really can approach that experience of 'doodling' with ascii, and I thought some people might not have been exposed to that before.
The NATO "problem" wasn't the continued existence of NATO after the collapse of the USSR, but rather the expansion into traditional USSR/Russian areas of influence (Slavic areas). That's what they resent. Of course, given economic realities, many of those areas would prefer to have better ties with the West than the kleptocratic alternative, but that's neither here nor there.
Malnutrition is a vague term that can mean many different things. You can lose significant muscle mass even if you aren't technically malnourished.

You absolutely can lose muscle mass if you cut carb and fat calories below a certain threshold. Whether that threshold is above or below 15% depends on many factors. The Real Science of Sport podcast has a good explanation of how this works.

Don't hold your breath waiting for that UN "peacekeeping force" anytime soon. The head of the UN Security Council is Russia.
to answer "Why?!" especially with the exclamantion point. I am shocked that so many people do not understand, that the words "Minsk Agreements" are rarely mentioned, and that it's only been 8 years and yet the world has no idea. Also that no one compares to Yugoslavia's or Czechoslovakia's post-Soviet split into multiple countries.

READ:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donbas
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euromaidan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Yanukovych
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsk_agreements

In 2014, Prime Minister of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, led his government to reject a deal to put Ukraine on a path to EU and NATO membership.

This immediately let to the Euromaiden protests, the Ukrainian Revolution, and attacks on ethnic Russians within Ukraine. leading to the divisions internally between the Donbas region and the rest of the country.

Crimea, which was part of Ukraine but ethnically Russian, was taken by Russia at this time. Look on a map for Crimea and the Sea of Azov, and you will see why this was so easy to accomplish.

The parties within Ukraine agreed to stop fighting and the resolution was the Minsk Protocol. The Minsk Agreements were immediately violated by both sides. Both sides were brought back to the table to draft another cease-fire agreement, known as Minsk 2.

The second Minsk Accords were also immediately violated and people have been dying in that area ever since.

The real question is: Why did the UN never move to stop these killings? Why is the West focused on Russia instead of the problem that has been at their doorstep for literally eight years now.

People in Eastern Ukraine have been dying every month for eight years. The opportunity for diplomacy has been rotting on the vine for eight years.

The borders of Ukraine were created during Soviet times by the U.S.S.R., not by the people of Ukraine. The Post-Soviet countries of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia similarly suffered from borders that forced people who speak different languages and come from different cultures to live together.

Yugoslavia fought a bloody and costly internal war over this before separating into multiple countries. Czechoslovakia fared somewhat better before it split into multiple countries.

Ukraine is now splitting into multiple countries. The UN for eight years did nothing to enforce the Minsk Accords to stop the fighting and allow that to happen peacefully, so Russia decided enough is enough.

> Like people or monsters didn't steal your items when you died like in UO. In UO that mechanic would make me very careful to venture outside of cities but also lead to interesting situations when some random monster steals your stuff and you need to go back to find hunt it later. But in the end, it also meant that in WoW I could focus on the adventure and not worry about someone stealing my stuff.

I miss this aspect of UO. Full loot PVP was fun, especially when you would get cheap gear and go ganking with people. One time on a shard (Novus Opiate) there was a ~50+ vs ~50+ blue vs red war for a few hours where we opened portals to the PVP towns and ran in ganking all the reds and they were ganking us.

Lots of fun those days. I missed the PVP because in WoW there was no loss and so no one really cared to try run or fight back, the only loss was exp so they sometimes just stood there let you kill them. It's one of the reasons I rushed 60 was to do PVP but then PVP didn't really exist.

I played the full 30 days and had 2 characters, 1 max and the other I was trying to do all the side quests and I stopped at like lvl 40 cos I just got bored of repeating the same sort of quest over and over in different zones, kill this, collect that, talk to X.

Been using it for years, love it. Sad to see that development on it has been slow for a while, but it's pretty mature at this point.
Do keep in mind that, according to the official interpretation of events in Russia - which is all you get if you stick to the TV - it was Ukraine that started shooting and shelling civilians, and Russia is "peacekeeping".

From some of my own relatives, I can attest that at least some people sincerely believe this.
Wait up, they didn't explicitly show support for russia in the UNSC meetings on ukraine, so that at least that means something.
China's ambassador to UN Security Council today, 45 minutes after the invasion, basically said "we call on all parties to stop escalations and proceed diplomatically." (no shit) Honestly, I'm baffled that this type of trite platitude makes it into the highest important discourse in the world, but here we are, for insane political shirking reasons.

EDIT: China now calling West to blame for situation and there isn't an invasion.

If anyone had any doubts as to the morality of Chinese leadership these days...

[...]

> This has very little if anything to do with NATO, and almost everything to do with Putin's desire to reinstate the Russian Empire. He has consistently maintained in public that it was a "mistake" to "allow" the former Soviet republics to become independent.

> Now he said out loud that Lenin made an error in 1917 when he let the former Russian territories "go." One of the countries that gained independence from Russia in 1917, by the way, was Finland.

> What Putin seems to fear the most, rightly so, is that democratic revolution reaches Moscow. Thus, democracy itself is a threat to him.

> He is not really afraid of NATO military forces: we can objectively demonstrate that the deployment of NATO forces to countries close to Russia used to be laughably minuscule before 2014.
Not trying to make anyone feel guilty or make it seem like I'm doing anything either. Just pointing out that there is very little any of us can actually do and getting so emotional about somebody buying shares is a little silly because what are the alternatives?

A number of former Soviet satellite states joined NATO, but they chose to do so of their own volition. NATO does not prevent their self-determination. In contrast, Russia is denying self-determination to Ukraine.

If you look at recent California fires, those with single initiating events occurred under very high wind conditions (> 100kph sustained) which would make drone flight impossible. Besides, such events spread to several acres within minutes of initiation. Dropping a few water balloons will do absolutely nothing.

Other major incidents has enormous numbers of initiating events. Leading up to the CNZ complex, there were over 10,000 lighting strikes in one night in the San Francisco Bay Area alone. These drones would have been completely useless here as well.

The video also claims that a single drone can handle 40 acres. There are over 800 million acres of forest in the US. Buying 20 million drones is one thing, but keeping them flying is pretty much inconceivable given how quickly most toys of this sort quit working under field conditions.
When you care about "extreme precision", you should also buy the same brand over and over again. In such case, the difference in sticks will not exist.
