> there are weird hard line breaks (an ASCII character) in the wrong places

They aren't in the wrong place, if you view the site on desktop, or mobile browser in desktop-mode (for me at least), or the source, the line-breaks form proper paragraphs. Looks like the host actually delivers HTML/CSS with wrapping rules instead of plain text though, which messes it up for screens narrower than a full line in the file.

But either way, the file remains perfectly readable even with the added line breaks, not like any text is missing or moved.

If you have red-green blindness like me try this:

- Right-click the image and select "Inspect".

- Add a new CSS hue-rotate filter to the element:

    element {
       max-width: 100%;
       margin: 0 auto;
       filter: hue-rotate(-90deg);
    }

Usually I use "filter: saturate(100);", but that didn't really work well for this image. You might have to adjust the rotation degree though, -90 worked best for me.

Enact personal sanctions against war-enablers, which is fine with me by the way. But the family of war-enablers are not necessarily involved in their crimes. You didn't mention stolen wealth or money laundering at all. You said:

> And their families and kids who all keep their money in US, UK and EU.

Let's just say, for arguments sake, there is a child who is genuinely estranged from his war-enabling parents, living in Europe on his own dime. Should they fall under these sanctions? I would say no.

Well sure. However you didn't say go after them for money laundering in your OP. You said go after the families of war-enablers.

I did. Now you may argue that NATO and Russia are not in a state of war and therefore Russian citizens do not fall under the definition of a protected person given in article 4, but then you would be saying that it is alright to commit war crimes during peace times. Which seems kind of backwards to me.

De facto? Maybe. De jure? Still a war crime.

The Geneva Convention (part IV) is pretty clear on this matter:

> Article 33 - Individual responsibility, collective penalties, pillage, reprisals

> No protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.

> Pillage is prohibited.

> Reprisals against protected persons and their property are prohibited.

Collective punishment is still a war crime.

> For example Firefox has the same design problem where its buttons have nor border and therefore have no clear place where draggable top space is and button is.

This can be changed by going to "about:settings" page and setting the option "browser.tabs.inTitlebar" to 0.

Well you need to install the appropriate texlive dependencies which can be somewhat complicated, but once that's done it's just writing inline Latex

    $$\like{this}$$

into your Markdown files and then doing

    pandoc -f markdown -t pdf -o output.pdf input.md

Haven't used this in a while and just tried it again, was just a matter of searching a few error messages, gleaning the missing texlive package names from the results, and installing them. Works like a charm now.

I also had this working for Markdown to HTML conversion back in the day when I needed it, but that requires the website using a JS library like Mathjax.

What got me was the geofencing for the trains to break down when in competitors workshops. Was apparently only found in 2 out of 30 trains, but still there is no plausible deniability here at all.

I'd assume it's due to the discovery not being some human remains but rather processed wood, making it the oldest evidence for wood working we have by a massive margin. Quote from the article:

> Prior to this discovery, the oldest known surviving wooden structures were built by people living in northern England around 11,000 years ago.

There is a whole slew of AI based video summarizing tools in existence already, enough so that a search for "video summarizer" has a bunch of listicles in the results.

You know what? Good on them! We should all just use UTC everywhere and adjust business hours accordingly. Get rid of timezones altogether.

If you want to know when the sun rises, sets, or is at its apex just look it up in a table. The former two vary unless you are very close to the equator anyway, and the latter is off by an hour for every country using "daylight saving time" for half the year. Never mind countries that span more than 1/24th of the globe but use a single timezone, and that isn't just China.

Also I don't really see how this is "for the convenience of the ruling elite". I'd be willing to bet money most people in Xinjiang wouldn't have this "problem" in their top ten. Probably not even top hundred. This seems like something you get used to once and then never think about again unless you travel or have a remote meeting.

This is a X11 feature AFAIK. Meta+Right-click resizes the window by the way.

> Third party moderation tools are staying. They're beneficial to Reddit, of course they're going to keep giving them free access.

This turns out to be much more of a mixed bag in reality. Many of the third party moderation tools are built into the third party mobile apps, which will not get free access.

In the AMA OP [0] they listed a few projects that will get free access, some moderation tools among it, but even just requiring registration for such tools will have a massive chilling effect on the existing and future ecosystem.

Assuming that was a rhetorical question, but since there is a whole "homo economicus" theory of mind out there I'll answer anyway; An actor with other incentives beyond just monetary ones, like physical, social, or philosophical incentives.

> So you join the Discord and then you have 100s of channels with chat.. Try to find the information, need a role, I give up.

I know where you are coming from here, but that's not really on Discord, but on individual server management. The people who organise their Discord servers like that would probably have created a similar mess in ye olde forum times, or on Slack or whatever. Plus bigger servers tend to be subject to SPAM and scamming and counter-measures seem ad-hoc at times because native tools for handling that are a relatively recent addition.

And for all its faults (not open source, slow, privacy concerns, OP, etc.) Discord also has some things going for it. Lots of people are already on it so network effect is a thing here, it's relatively easy to pick up the basics off and there are no immediate paywalls (which makes it attractive to semi-public projects without a cash flow), a lot of basic and advanced features are there to use, and most of them work across a lot of platforms.

My biggest gripe with it (besides the aforementioned) is that its better new features like forum channels and stage channels are locked behind usage metrics and/or paywalls.
