You don’t even need IMAX for 4K; ordinary 35mm film can normal scan to a nice 4K video. Films shot on the 65mm IMAX cameras would probably make good 8K content, but most of that was educational films, not what most people apparently want to watch all the time.
The digital IMAX projections were actually a step backwards in resolution.

You don’t lock the doors of your house because you have something to hide, you lock it because you have valuable things you want to protect.
Your dad’s fear is not the government (whether or not it actually should be), but he should have a reasonable fear of criminals taking his money. Technology has made it easier than ever to be robbed but also created better locks than ever to fight the criminals.
I could never do most medical care jobs. About the only thing I could do is work in the pharmacy, and even then they sometimes have to give people vaccinations. I might be able to do that but that’s still pushing my general squeamishness.
When I was in college I worked a data entry job at an investment advisor firm. One of the financial planners had #8 as their setup.
From the article:
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD used the Debian userland on top of the FreeBSD kernel, although sadly, due to lack of manpower the project ended in 2023. There was a similar effort using the kernel from the slightly older BSD, Debian GNU/NetBSD. Multiple others have been suggested, including ports to the kernels of OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, IBM’s OS/2 kernel and others.
Unfortunately I’m about 13° latitude farther south, so it’s much harder to see them normally
I really hope to see them sometime. Whenever we’re in Quebec and there’s a good geomagnetic storm the weather is cloudy.

I can’t speak to all of Canada, but my in-laws live in Quebec and I see a lot of EVs up there, but a different mix than what we have in my part of the US. In Quebec they have a lot of hydroelectric energy and electricity is relatively cheap. Where I am in the US there are a lot of Tesla vehicles, especially the model Y. We see other brands but at a rough guess I’d say Tesla is over 50% of the electric cars. Where my in-laws are in Quebec the Teslas are pretty rare and I see a lot more of the cheaper cars with shorter ranges, like the Hyundai Kona EV or Chevrolet Bolt. The F-150 Lightning (recently discontinued) also seems much more popular up there; people can still put all their accessories on it to carry their snowmobiles and camping gear.
It shows just how much he has changed in the last few years (beyond the obvious white-nationalist stuff), as Musk originally said Tesla would pivot to a more traditional design if the Cybertruck failed. It has failed. Now what?
I feel like his ego was already strong enough back then that he never had any intention to pivot
In 1938, wallet manufacturer the E. H. Ferree company in Lockport, New York decided to promote its product by showing how a Social Security card would fit into its wallets. A sample card, used for display purposes, was inserted in each wallet. Company Vice President and Treasurer Douglas Patterson thought it would be a clever idea to use the actual SSN of his secretary, Mrs. Hilda Schrader Whitcher.
Although the snafu gave her a measure of fame, it was mostly a nuisance. The FBI even showed up at her door to ask her about the widespread use of her number. In later years she observed: “They started using the number. They thought it was their own. I can’t understand how people can be so stupid. I can’t understand that.”
One embarrassing episode was the fault of the Social Security Board itself. In 1940 the Board published a pamphlet explaining the new program and showing a facsimile of a card on the cover. The card in the illustration used a made-up number of 219-09-9999. Sure enough, in 1962 a woman presented herself to the Provo, Utah Social Security office complaining that her new employer was refusing to accept her old Social Security number–219-09-9999. When it was explained that this could not possibly be her number, she whipped out her copy of the 1940 pamphlet to prove that yes indeed it was her number!
Is this strictly Lemmy or does it include related platforms like PieFed and Mbin? Because it seems like there has been some shift to PieFed
Wait, so the Thomas’s English Muffin was their invention?

Skimming through this lets a remote AI control my computer? No thanks!
If they actually generate lift I’d call it flying, but I don’t know if they do
