The article says that the Ministry has suggested students use other programs, so it sounds like it’s just something students often use rather than something that’s actually required. I’ve not been in school for a long time, but I am doing a distance learning course and when I had to submit some written stuff I definitely found it more comfortable to type it up in an actual word processor than the web platform that only showed about a paragraph at a time, so I did that and then copied it to the web platform.

Well you see, the UN’s logo is actually a top-down view of Earth. Apparently. Because they can’t keep a conspiracy secret without leaving some clues in the open for kicks.

I think you’ve misunderstood the comment above. They’re asking why snapshotting DRM-protected content would be a problem if everything stays local, implying that since it’s a problem it does not stay local

I don’t feel comfortable putting that much important stuff in one thing. If I lose my phone or my wallet, the other can do a lot to help cover for it until I get a replacement

The hybrit process that some Swedish steelmakers (including SSAB - not a typo, it isn’t Saab) are using looks promising. They’ve been testing it with Volvo and are apparently making it part of Volvo’s regular process in 2026

I would if I could

What happened in Tanzania? The drop there seems to account for pretty much the entire loss in Africa between 2007 and 2015

Well my username is a bird, so I’m going to say it’s just a severe case of self-loathing

I like the future that this suggests

The Charleston Country police statement is that he died “from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound”

To be honest even if it was a power plant… they’re already in the business of generating power. If generating more clean power in the same space is an option, that sounds great

To be honest I’d be surprised if this was Russia. It’s certainly not outside of Russia’s capabilities, but at the end of the day they’re just cables. Plenty of the Red Sea is right next to Houthi-controlled territory and not all that deep. Something like this is commercially available and easily capable of reaching the floor of the area near the Bab el-Mandeb that any cables from Europe to East Asia have to go through

They aren’t trying to force “social security” on us, it’s an article primarily aimed at an American audience using the term Americans will be familiar with in the headline. The article body calls it the Department for Work and Pensions

Use the Australian football league one neat.afl and hope that nobody notices the L that the Taliban have inflicted on the rest of us

That’s the default “kbin is down” message, I wouldn’t put much stock in the specifics of it

I have some bad news for you about the environmental effects of burning lots of oil

can always just pump up more oil out of the ground.

No, this is actually exactly the fucking problem

He was Arizona’s Dentist of the Year 2001 though, so he’s basically a war hero

It does, but he’s a fucking Newsmax presenter so we’re operating with a bar so low it’s somewhere in the Earth’s mantle

At least here in the UK a lot of larger supermarkets give you the option of taking a little handheld scanner with you and doing it as you shop. When you go to the till you just scan a barcode that’s on the till and it connects the till to the scanner so you can pay for everything. I don’t personally use it because I’m too disorganised a person to pack as I go and also remember to scan everything, but it’s fairly popular. It typically exists as an alternative way of using the self checkouts, the option to scan everything at the checkout itself is still there
