This time it will pass while we're making noise. I've done so for a long time, now it's different.

This time it is happening. Global geopolitical forces are coalescing.
pieter_mj | 7 months ago | on: LibreOffice slams Microsoft for locking in Office users w/ complex file formats
groklaw.net dived deep into this.
AFAICR, MS never achieved round tripping between their own formats, let alone ODF. It was a lock in scheme where MS would delegate people to the ODF committees (don't remember the official name) to sabotage them from the inside.

Fluor is an electron stealer. Enough for me not to touch it with a ten foot pole. Besides, tooth regrowing/regeneration will be available in the next few years.

Did they agree to have their e-mail exposed through the api?
pieter_mj | 1 year ago | on: Self-Hosting a Firefox Sync Server
It's not about bookmarks only. Also history. A syncserver is the only way to access firefox mobile history, as its api (browser.history) is severely restricted or unavailable.
So short of rooting your device to directly access places.sqlite, there's no alternative.

In windows start regedit as administrator and navigate to/create HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome.
Under the Chrome key, create a DWORD value named "ExtensionManifestV2Availability" with hex value 2.
Restart Chrome. If successful, you'll notice the ExtensionManifestV2Availability entry with value 2 in chrome://policy and the settings page will mention "managed by your organization".

In the manual they have the symbols for zero (0) and the letter O switched.
This leads to the statement : F0R X=1 T0 1OO.
Was it really that way back(wards) in 1964?
pieter_mj | 1 year ago | on: Visual Basic 6 rebuilt in C# – complete with form designer and IDE in browser
Developing visually with VB(A) RAD-like dev tools to build websites without wallgardening and cleanly generated html, css, js, server side code & whatever, is a huge niche to be filled. Incredible that it doesn't exist yet.
Maybe I'll do it myself.
pieter_mj | 1 year ago | on: Mitochondria Are Alive
Mitochondria are bacteria that were endosymbioticized into what became the eukaryotic cell.
Mitochondria can still survive (live) independently and functionally in the blood when they're separated from platelets and microvesicles.
Mitochondria are the software that epigenetically switch nuclear DNA genes on and off. That sofware can be tweaked by light, for instance UV light or IR light.
mtDNA mutates x1000000 more rapidly than nuclear DNA.
