Thanks, I was wondering because nobody mentions our "dominance" in the field here... The Brno Technical Museum has an exhibition of some Czechoslovak-made electron microscopes but from what I understood, they became obsolete like much of Eastern Bloc technology.

Anyway, it's not our main export by a long shot, it's just the biggest category where we happen to be #1 by volume. Our country has relatively cheap labor and most of our exports come from assembling various mechanical devices, notably cars.

Have you been to the Czech Republic, anyway? How was it? Do you speak Czech? I see you didn't capitalize the R, which is a common mistake by Czechs because we don't have title case.

The smart thing is to vote early and avoid the ruckus the stupider people will inevitably create around polling places on November 5.

See vote.gov for details

The government owns GPS though, right?

Mein Zug EC 172 "Hungaria" ist am 19. 8. aus Dresden 50 Minuten wegen "kaputte Ausweiche in Prag" spät ausgefahren und Ranslite hatte später diesen Tag in Niedersachsen Nachtschicht! Er ist klar darauf schuld!

It's a minix clone, so... mimix?

We should make a donation campaign, pretty sure somebody has a spare SATA drive around. This minix clone sounds good

I'm glad someone was able to donate a non-AT drive because Linus could not afford it :-(

A surprisingly serious typeface from Adobe Fonts.

IMO, the most egregious one is Essay Text.

Note that if supported by the font you use, the three symbols will usually be drawn the same way as an asterisk (*) in that font. This means a lot of variation.

I think the diversity is alright! It's like the Fediverse: instances follow a standard to work with each other but can be heavily customized without breaking integration.

It's in Unicode, duh... Otherwise, you'd need an image to represent it.

See Asterism (Wikipedia)

I don't think they would destroy your devices but I do have a non-PD power-only triple-ended retractable cable and it is shoddy.
