This is quite new. Just wanted to share. (The link is from Sci-Hub, so the whole thing seems legit).

Edit: but, if I'm getting it right, they're just replacing paywalls with another paywall?

For several years I've been using DuckDuckGo instead of Google Search, and I've been overall quite happy with the results. Only rarely had I to resort to Google search (!g).

During the last month or two, however, I've found myself using the !g switch and Google search more than half of the time. DuckDuckGo shows no or few results where Google shows more (and useful) ones.

Still I don't want to give in. So:

• Have you also experienced this worsening of DuckDuckGo?
• Which other more privacy-respecting alternatives do you recommend?

Does anyone have some thinkfan setting for Thinkpad X1E4 (X1 Extreme gen 4) to share? Cheers!

[Mod: not sure if this kind of question fits this community; please delete if it doesn't and accept my apologies]

Edit: explicitly downgrading to 10.1 with

sudo apt install wine-staging=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-amd64=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-i386:i386=10.1~focal-1 winehq-staging=10.1~focal-1

worked for me, but see other solutions posted below.

Thank you for the help!

On Ubuntu, the last apt upgrade of Wine broke down, bringing down the whole apt system:

The following packages have unmet dependencies. wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 10.2~focal-2) but 10.2~focal-1 is installed

At the suggestion of running sudo apt --fix-broken install, this is what happens:

Unpacking wine-staging-amd64 (10.2~focal-2) over (10.2~focal-1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/wine-staging-amd64_10.2~focal-2_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/opt/wine-staging/bin/wine', which is also in package wine-staging-i386:i386 10.2~focal-2 dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/wine-staging-amd64_10.2~focal-2_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Apparently this is also happening on Linux Mint: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=441158

Any suggestions? Cheers!

Here's a little physics riddle. It's really meant as a moment of self-reflection for physics teachers (I invite you to compare what answers you'd give within Relativity Theory).

We're in the context of Newtonian mechanics.

There are three small bodies. In the inertial coordinate system (t, x, y, z), we know the following about the three bodies (at a given instant of time):

• The first has mass 3 kg
• The second has velocity (1, 0, 0) m/s
• The third has momentum (2, 0, 0) kg⋅m/s

Now consider a new coordinate system (t', x', y', z') related to the first by the following transformation (a Galileian boost):

t' = t, x' = x - u⋅t, y' = y, z' = z with u = 1 m/s

Questions:

• What is the mass of the first body in the new coordinate system?
• What is the velocity of the second body in the new coordinate system?
• What is the momentum of the third body in the new coordinate system?

Can you give definite answers to these three questions, and motivate your answers with simple physical principles? Note that by "definite answer" I don't necessarily mean an answer with a definite numerical value.

"On September 12, 2024, Lieff Cabraser and co-counsel at Justice Catalyst Law filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against six commercial publishers of academic journals, including Elsevier, Springer Nature, Taylor and Francis, Sage, Wiley, and Wolters Kluwer, on behalf of a proposed class of scientists and scholars who provided manuscripts or peer review, alleging that these publishers conspired to unlawfully appropriate billions of dollars that would otherwise have funded scientific research."
