Never had any comedown off moda, even at high doses (400mg).

What comedown feelings did you experience?

IIRC the devs are only supporting Pixel devices because they are at least vaguely sane.

Supporting random other devices would be a nightmare.

> those doing supply chain attacks are often at least somewhat professional and take precautions.

Not really.

The vast majority of supply chain attacks in practice are idiots exploiting namespacing, bitflips, or typos on pypi/npm to drop miners or infostealers.

Yes, even the shit tier supply chain attacks count :)

That doesn't exist in my country, we have a tiny prison population.

Not really. In many cases it cripples the child's social development. Which is child abuse.

Given the packages are inspected, anecdotally "non compliant" or infringing products aren't making it to the buyer at a MUCH higher rate than before.

Its not just French farmers who are subsidised though - farmers all across the EU avail of various subsidies, grants, etc.

Customs in the EU have massively cracked down on imports from China in the last couple of years, with new regulations regarding import charges etc.

Every single package I've ordered since then across four different EU countries and multiple Chinese suppliers has resulted in it being held until a fee was paid.

Previously, stuff below a certain value was "free".

None of those two groups you used even register as the majority among the "home Linux users" many of us know, so I was quite confused by your post.

Did you literally just make up two categories of guys from thin air.

That can be somewhat fixed.

Not if your employer does drug tests though...

How much effort was it to remove from the sensor? I've modified a number of cameras to remove that filter specifically for IR photography

That filter he removed is the IR cut, I believe. Not an anti aliasing filter.

The magenta hue you see in the outdoor shots is characteristic of photos taken using a sensor with no IR blocking filter (also known as a hot mirror).

So much for the right to a speedy trial.

Did you get any recourse for this?

In much of the northern hemisphere for most of the year this is insufficient. Even a really long walk.

I've read most of his books/publications, his work is good (and generally reproducable), but he is somewhat prone to grand statements.

Thing is, a lot of labs will largely ignore fungi because they are fucking awkward to work with

I've found that policy trivial to circumvent in most EU countries I've visited (which is most of them).

Its also a stupid fucking policy.
