Honestly, I think it's premature - Organic Maps isn't down the drain yet. But I'm also not 100% up to date. You can see most of the context here and in the open letter linked within: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/organic-maps-open-letter/128851

They were naked when practicing athletics. I don't know if it was a cultural thing or an actual lack of good options for sportswear, but I'll bet you can find out with 5 minutes of searching online. My bet is it was just a cultural thing.

Modesty and decency demanded that men who showed themselves naked in a public setting, such as athletes or actors, must conceal their glans.

Naturally.

All top results on DuckDuckGo for naked running are about the literal meaning of it. Is it actually used as a term for tech-free (but clothed) running? Press X to doubt.

I'd call it "rawdog running" if anything, but that doesn't sound right either.

There is literally a drawing app called procreate. Nothing about this joke is forced, it's just a direct observation.

Every part of that is fine except not including the cable with the product. But I don't think I ever got a new product with a USB-B connector that didn't come with the cable.

I just recently looked into Secure Boot and from my understanding it's not a Microsoft lock-in. Many Linux distributions are signed with keys that are loaded by default, and advanced users can even add custom signatures to their computer so Secure Boot would accept them. The original fear around Secure Boot was legitimate, but by now we know the worst outcome of it didn't come to pass.

That said, I did disable it on my new PC because I think the chance of it causing issues is greater than the chance it will actually protect me from bootloader malware, and I'm willing to accept that risk and responsibility.

All mathematical theorems should be intuitively explained with animal cruelty.

I think you'll find that that's exactly how this works.

You anarchist!

Real talk though, I think specs are literally my favorite thing in the world. The truly great ones are so good that there's never a real reason to deviate from them - if you do, you're either doing something wrong or you're taking a shortcut for a hobbyist project (which is fine, but not for anything mass-produced). USB is mostly one of those great specs. The cable you posted is an abomination. There is always a better way.

I never knew it used to be a storage standard. Turns out it was renamed to PATA at some point.

As someone else said, IDE refers to development software like Visual Studio, Eclipse, and others. Nowadays a lot of text editors (VS Code/ium, Sublime Text, and many others) come with enough features to pass as an IDE too, but some people still somehow differentiate between them.

I did not know this. Are they allowed by the spec?
