Also try 'mlterm', it has sixel graphics support enabled by default. While XTerm supports sixels, many distributions don't enable it by default.

Then, if you have 'libsixel-bin' installed you can run e.g. 'img2sixel hamster.jpg', and there you go, a photo is displayed in the terminal, inline with the text.

And 'mlterm' lets you adjust the text line spacing, even negatively, so you don't have to edit the fonts to get it the way you want.
I think a lot of people are ignoring MS. It does seem more like an I'll judged emotional outburst than a reasoned reaction. The competition authority in the UK is well respected so their conclusion is going to be given great weight by the EU and the US. Given the EUs track record, they're likely to be stricter than the UK, so the CMA adjudication is a good forward indicator that the deal is basically dead.

Wouldn't they need to cease all Microsoft activities in the UK? It's not some Microsoft Gaming Corporation that wants to buy Activision-Blizzard, it's Microsoft Corporation.

The wiki states that less than 5000 kits were sold, due to the high price.

These were quite rare.
Differences that I've noticed:

1. Lichess rating is ~200-300 points ahead of a Chess.com rating. Not in the sense that players are better, but an 800 player on Chess.com will probably be 1000-1100 on Lichess.

2. Fantastic analysis tool. Chess.com analysis tends to be a bit funky sometimes.

3. Zen Mode. Not really a pro / con, but it's nice to hide the UI and just have a board on the screen when playing.

4. Free, obviously. No ads.

5. Younger audiences may want to play where their favorite streamer plays, which tends to be Chess.com for nearly everyone unless you're Eric Rosen. Hikaru Nakamura, GothamChess, Magnus Carlsen, Botez Sisters, Anna Cramling, and Chessbrah are all on Chess.com.

6. Chess.com has better puzzles, although limited on the free tier.

I don't have exact numbers on population for both platforms, but if someone can correct me, I'm fairly sure Chess.com holds the majority of players.

Edit: Spelling
A good example of this complexity is Berlin. Many people have monthly passes for just A and B zones, which comprise the bulk of central Berlin. However, the new airport is just over the border in zone C, which requires an additional ticket. The transit authority knows this and will catch and fine people who neglected or forgot to buy a B to C ticket.
I tried to find an explanation for why the Feds didn't want a narrow bank.

This article has some speculations, but nothing definitive: https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/safest-bank-fed-wont-san...

It doesn't quite make sense why the Feds don't want narrow banks, except that they might compete with traditional banks (and those banks' deep reaches into the Fed's policy decision makers are forcing out potential competition before they take root).

There is a fair amount of research on diet and nutrition. Much of that is not patentable. For example, I think a recent one was all over the news about magnesium rich foods lowering risk for dementia. Unfortunately this area sees a lot of back and forth in some areas (like with eggs).
If this trend is that predictable someone should get their phd studying it, write a book, and get hired by banking lobbyists to stfu.
That assumes fair and lawful elections, which is far from given.

First, the election system itself, known and first-past-the-post, allows a party to win a seat with having a minimal majority in the ward. We don't have to look beyond the most recent election, in 2019, where the Tories won 365 out of 650 seats (56%) while only winning 43.6% of the voters. [0] A proportional voting system would make the ratio much more realistic [1], but I don't see that happening any time soon. (Ultimately, any government with the power to change the system would have been elected using that old system, so what change it?)

Second, the Tories are doing everyithing they can to improve the chances to win as many seats as possible. For example, the recently introduced photo ID requirement - in the country that traditionally eschews any mandatory photo IDs - is heavily skewed towards Tory voters: many poor people can't pay the fees to get a passport and don't have a driving license; and while senior public transport passes are accepted, student IDs and transport passes are not; and so on.

If you as a consumer can purchase a service without any special insider agreements with the provider, it's a market already, no matter how small or big it is. And since Microsoft already has a estimated 60-70% market share of this existing market, making them have a bigger hold over the market will make it harder to others to enter it, and they'll potentially abuse their position.

Money is an excellent proxy for legal muscle. the argument was that bigger banks are more susceptible to informal extra legal influence, but expensive lawyers make enforcing your rights easier to do.

Microsoft has a couple options all of which are viable IMO:

1. Appeal

This isn't a liquidity problem though - the actual fair market value of the assets that they can realistically expect to get has dropped due to interest rates rising. Someone with $10 million to invest in long-duration government bonds won't pay face value for bonds that pay out $10 million at maturity plus a small amount of annual interest when the government has issued newer bonds with much higher interest payments, they'll expect a discount that accounts for the lower amount of interest paid over the term, but banks have a bunch of bonds like that that are still on their books at face value and haven't been marked to market.

Ivy (YC W23) Is Hiring
Not really. Only for government certificates, the paid stuff matters since that gives you access to client certificates from a "trusted" CA, which can alleviate some user friction.

The real problem is that the support for client certificates is downright abysmal when it comes to browser and OS vendors and even worse when it comes to modern apps, combined with OpenSSLs UI being godawful to use.

Both Chrome and Firefox make certificate management a complete mess to get set up "right". It works really well once everything is configured, but good luck getting it configured in the first place.

The Windows certificate store does poor certificate validation, so poorly made certificates (which iirc the Serbian government gives out) can end up corrupting the whole thing. That will in turn cause many other issues and the actual interface for dealing with this stuff is a complete mess since it blatantly wasn't touched after XP.

On Android, you just need to import both certificates into the system certificate store, but applications need to specifically check for the certificate store if they want to add it to requests (at least Chrome does). Since CCA is very rarely used, most apps just straight up don't support it, which adds yet more friction to actually using it.

In the end I just went with tailscale because it just ended up being much easier for achieving the same effective goal (protecting access to a certain part of my VPS to only devices I personally trust) without needing to either massively abuse apktool or open a bunch of niche bugs at FOSS repositories.

It should be fine to try. Some devices dual purpose the 120 volt transformer to both charge the battery and provide 120 VAC, but those have internal switching so the 120 VAC will simply not work when charging. Given that your device charges using a wall wart, it won't be this type of device because the charging transformer is built into the wall wart. Having a lead-acid battery the charge from the wall wart likely goes to a common power rail that connects to both the battery and the inverter. About the only bad thing that could happen is that a crappy wall wart might try to supply too much power and overheat. I would check if the wall wart is getting excessively hot when running your test.

Also, I took a look at the user manual for the device and it doesn't mention not to try what you are thinking, so it should be fine.

I'm not all that worried that this will cause overcrowding since I'd wager many people who bought the first round of tickets are just transferring over their current local subscription to the national one. Both my wife and I did that for example.

It is worth noting that this ticket is 10€ cheaper than our prior subscription, which I expect will result in a solid bit less revenue for the regional transit authorities. With a system that's already straining from under-investment, hopefully this doesn't compound already existing problems.

Before the keyless entry fad most cars had a locking steering column that would require you to break the the locking mechanism, which you could do by twisting it really hard with a crowbar.

Is the pharma industry broken? Yes. Are there doctors who are conveniently leaving the cheap things on the shelf so a pharma company can profit off misery? Doctors are people too. In the most extreme form of this conspiracy thinking, apparently no doctors get or die from cancer.

From my experience running a Garry's Mod server a slow methodical and tedious approach is to capture some of the abuse traffic and see what is different from it and legit game traffic using tcpdump and wireshark as you mentioned. It's not the most efficient way to stop it but one can use assorted iptables modules to block the traffic if it sticks out from legit gaming traffic. Some would argue it will look the same but I have never found that to be the case. Look for things like packet length and burst rates of legit traffic then apply xt_recent or limit per second rules for different packet lengths using the iptables length module in combination with the other modules. Use your own game client IP as the normal traffic. Play aggressively.

e.g. Normal traffic may have a rate of {n} packets of 22:66 length in {t} time window. And then perhaps 67:80 length in another interval, and so on... Combine the length module with the limit module to allow normal traffic. This won't help with volumetric attacks but skiddies rarely do volumetric. It's usually just a handful of VPS nodes from some angry gamer. In those cases one could even create ipset hash tables of the attacker IP's or CIDR blocks and just silently drop them in the iptables raw table. In some cases the abuse traffic scripts will fixate on a particular string. This can be leveraged by the iptables string modules.

First use logging rules before using DROP rules so that you can see if your tuning is going to affect legit players.

The ideal solution would be to work with the game developer and show them the abuse traffic and have the game code start ignoring nonsensical traffic. I did not have this option with Garry's Mod as the SRCDS server it runs on is abandonware for all intents and purposes.
