The Gates Foundation had strong objections to releasing the covid-19 patents. I'm sure they had some sort of rationale that wasn't "this would set a bad precedent for M$ patents.

Storage devices are frequently smaller than advertised just as 2"x4" boards are.

You cannot flash an image onto a device smaller than the image's size. Your only options are to get a larger device or shrink the image. Shrinking the image is possible but not without understanding how the image is created. It should be possible by taking the published image and somehow editing it. Or by simply rebuilding the image yourself from source. Either way you'll want to start by reading .github/workflows/build.yml from that repo.

Delete the leading spaces from your list items. Four leading spaces causes them to be formatted as code blocks.

I would not describe any communist or socialist leader as a Christian Fascist Oligarch.

• Minneapolis also has a serious light rail system which none of those other cities do.
• Why are we comparing Minneapolis to Omaha and KC? Why not Milwaukee or Chicago?
  • do those cities have parking requirements?
  • given that this is YIMBY propaganda, why not San Francisco?
• Minneapolis also built more housing by upzoning single family regions. Not by building more luxury apartments.

Saves memory.

Its actually way down now. That line jump is from Thompson selling his stocks before getting his claim denied. One of the reasons people suspected it being a hired hit (which I doubt).

Worse, my employer doesn't care about this shit but our clients are demanding we have the bossware installed.
