The OneDrive app on Android seems to OCR images just fine though.

... FOSS ways to do this now finally

Ahem. Eclipse would like a word.

Was doing Java, C, PHP, and Python on it close to 20 years ago. With language API support & documentation implemented by plugins.

That said, I do tip my hat to MS for developing LSP for vscode - and eventually making it an open standard.

We were trying to figure out what to do with leftover dry lentils after using them for soup, so I looked up online and found people using them as mince replacement.

So we ended up whipping up some lentil bolognese. Taste & texture were the furthest thing away from beef. But damn it was tasty in its own right.

No. This does not need a 13-minute video.

  • Don't plug in ethernet if you're using one.
  • At the wifi setup stage press shift-F10
  • Type oobe\bypassnro
  • Reboot. Proceed as normal.

There, saved you 13 minutes

Libraries educate people. That takes away their voting base.

Considering pteron is greek and quad is latin, it should probably have been tetrapter. Which actually rolls off the tongue better.

Flamingoes would often curl up into a ball to keep warm.

It's mostly a game of chance.

Grossly oversimplified: Say you have black eyes, but carry a blue-eye gene (which doesn't show because black is dominant). There's a very good chance your sibling carries the same gene. If the two of you have a child together, there's a higher chance that the kid will carry double blue genes and has blue eyes.

Had you had the kid with another black eyed person that's not a sibling, there's a higher chance that they may carry different genres (black, grey, brown, green eyes). So much lower chance of having a blue-eyed kid.

Imagine the same but with all sorts of physical and mental defects. They may not show in you, but if you carry the genes, there's a good chance your sibling does too. Hence the higher chance of it showing up in your kids.

Even if the trait doesn't show in your kids, over generations of inbreeding practice (common in old royal families) the bad genes would be so concentrated in the pool that so many defects will start showing up.

In a large multinational company with very opinionated teams using either Creo, Solidworks, or Autodesk. Whenever we have a collab project between teams, hilarity ensues. Their export/import capabilities could not be any worse. I try to stay away from the mechanical department during those times.

No doubt, indeed. Just pointing out 400 is not unreasonable for xfce.

My xubuntu is at 380MB idling on the desktop. Also, thanks for making me check. I should probably disable snapd.
