They are?

They did make a whole bunch of christian references, which is part of my iffyness with the actual text.

The story they tell starts in the 90’s.

A biblical quote described the ear he’d grown, and was the first place he found out more about it after the literature he’d consulted contained nothing.

Annoying title, decent article.

Working with the lab of Teofilo Vamerali, then a professor at the University of Parma, Perobelli determined that the grain was Triticum turgidum—literally “swollen wheat” in Latin. Known in English as “poulard wheat,” it had originally evolved in what today are Turkey, Egypt and other nearby Mediterranean countries. And searching agricultural references, Perobelli found that it had been grown in Italy, too, until farmers shifted toward higher-yield commercial varieties. That solved the mystery of the seed bag stashed away in the attic: It had survived because Grossi’s grandfather saved some of the heritage grains.

That’s a conclusion the article doesn’t leap to:

What Created the Honeycomb Patterns?

Some polygonal formations previously examined by Curiosity clearly began as cracks in drying mud. However, several different processes can produce this kind of honeycomb appearance.

Repeated warming and cooling can fracture the ground into geometric shapes. Compression may also create similar patterns by forcing water out of sediment after the material becomes buried beneath the surface.

Scientists are now studying the newly discovered formations to determine which of these processes, or possibly a combination of them, shaped the landscape in Valle Grande.

The rover’s speed is measured in meters per day I’m pretty sure, it goes at a very slow pace.

Edit: yes. Given tests I imagine it frequently travels a lot less than that.

Based on variables including power levels, terrain difficulty, slippage and visibility, the maximum terrain-traverse speed is estimated to be 200 m (660 ft) per day by automatic navigation.

Further edit: NASA has an interactive map of its journey so far, neat.

What’s even worse: those chatbots generally agree with the user. Deferring judgement like that sure is one way to do what you wanted to do anyway.

I use Ecosia nearly exclusively.

I don’t like it as much as DDG; which has a somewhat better privacy focus, more widgets, and better support for “bangs”.
But the bangs I really care about are still there, it’s European and working on a European search index along with Quant, and the trees are pretty cool too.

As is it still relies on either Bing or Google for the results, but oh well. So does basically every alternative search engine, and I’d rather go through Ecosia than directly through those two.

Didn’t you know? Portugal is part of Eastern Europe.

But you just said

Mozilla could have focused on being user-supported through fundraising like Wikipedia.

It is an option.

Clearly it isn’t working well enough for them.

You can donate to Mozilla.

Perhaps they should’ve put that more front and center. But if they add a prominent donate button the people on here would probably lose their shit too.

Ah, like so. I thought you were referring to the article on the Patreon website with your initial comment, rather than the article in the post itself.

You’re right, the article is wrong. “Gross revenue” makes no sense.

Which is contradictory to the first line of the linked essay.

Is it though?
Current sign-ups are likely through Patreons own payment system, which will stay as it is. It would be like signing up in the web version, then going on to use the iOS app. That wouldn’t suddenly subtract 30% from a payment Apple has no control over.

Nokia doesn’t make smartphones either, they licensed their brand name to HMD Global.

(In case you might find that curious)

shows who they are.

A corporation. And when corporations have to make a choice, profit will always come first.

Note that the anon user is able to become root without password by default, as a development convenience.

“It” does seem like the way to go here, as it is referring to a built-in “anon” user account (best as I can tell).

How is that ironic?

You didn’t purchase a “HowToGeek” licence, I imagine. Nor was one included with your PC.

Just because you wouldn’t, means people shouldn’t be able to? Like, at all? Do with the device they bought as they wish?

what makes phones different in that regard?

Corporate greed

It possibly seeing a legal precedent is the scary part.

Edge allows you to “follow” YouTube channels outside of the website itself, not sure how deep that integration goes though as I’ve never bothered to use it.

Also this is the idea behind Grayjay, where creators would be able to have a “universal identity” across platforms.
For now it’s mostly a YouTube and some other video streaming sites alternative.
