Comment Re:Correct. And oh, no. (Score 2) 46

FWIW, I have two user accounts for different purposes. I once had three, but I stopped doing that one. My main user account has read access to the specialized one, but that one doesn't have any access permissions to the main one. It can be a bit of a nuisance, but it feels (and should be) a lot safer.

Comment Re:8-12 sea level rise in the contiguous US (Score 1) 73

There's the average rise, and then there's the rise at any one location. The aren't the same. I've heard (one source) that the ocean level near Greenland is actually lower. This was attributed to the loss of ice leading to less gravitational attraction. And the straits of Magellan have fierce tides, because of differing ocean heights.

A very slight rounding is useful, as it makes the distinction between one tab and another easier to spot. Currently on my Firefox it's done by highlighting the active tab and putting a small icon at the start of the tab...which also wastes space, but differentiates tabs. (OTOH, the tab labels are already slightly rounded, but the "not currently selected tabs" are so greyed out that the tab margins are invisible. Not ideal. And if they do the same thing with the rounded tabs, there will be absolutely no advantage.)

I think those calculations are wrong, because they seem to assume that the heat is uniformly distributed, and that clearly isn't correct.

It's still pretty appalling, but I don't believe those numbers. (Coming up with more believable numbers, though, is beyond me. I couldn't even believe a number based on a gradient, and that's impossible anyway because there aren't enough measurements at the bottom.)

"Super Intelligence" will only be used in English. So why shouldn't they agree. It's only the English arguments that will end up polluted.

OTOH, this agreement appears to mean exactly nothing. This perception may turn out to be wrong, but that's how it looks to me. But what could one expect when neither side could reasonably trust the other, and neither would agree to openly verifiable tests. (I.e. neither side *should* trust the other.)

If you're running Debian, there's no benefit to you, because Debian is getting the same warnings, and responding just as fast (or faster).
OTOH, I don't have the version name memorized. I think Trixie is the current one, so that just means be sure to run apt update frequently. (I do it nearly every night.)
