I wanted to say that it's hard to define exactly what is or isn't sci-fi. Really I'm just a sci-fi enjoyer and am not qualified to say what is or isn't sci-fi :D

Kryptonite for me is clearly a magic rock but in the movie it is in the realm of their science. Also there was a movie where the existence of superman led to a lot of questioning on its implications in defense politics so it could fit some part of your definition I guess?

So like superman is science-based and X-Men is also you're right and it does clearly ask what it means to be human when there are augmented humans now. So clearly more sci-fi than superman.

But films can be both sci-fi and fantasy. It feels like a sliding rule depending on the amount the universe is based on hardcore science. On the DNA subject, Gattaca is not fantasy but X-Men is.

To me it feels similar to the debate about "hard magic" universes like Eragon (where every spell has a physical toll on the user, or other book series where the magic is really detailed in-universe and only mastered by experts who have to study their whole life for even a basic spell) and "soft magic" like Harry Potter where everyone can cast crucifixion spells at the speed of an automatic rifle (I'm slightly exaggerating).

Yep I have the same result so most likely you didn't do anything wrong. My VPS on openbsd.amsterdam shows this and my laptop does too.

Abortion is decriminalised, so it's still not legal but it falls under civil law which is not as harsh as criminal law.

Edit: I misread the article, you can legally get an abortion at federal health facilities. I don't know about state health facilities.

This is important because, for western Europe, 2 pm PST is 11pm in Spain, France and Germany which is pretty late.

I can't write whole document with groff at work since most of my documents are edited by multiple people :( however I do most of my pictures with PIC :D

On your point about macro packages, ms me and mm are still developed (see https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2023-07/msg00051.html) but mom has a dedicated very active author and maintainer (Peter Schaffter) so that's why it can seems like it is being developed faster.

It plugs into a female connector making it a male connector.

Thanks for the link to your phlog! I just read the entry about having an unfederated email server for delta chat and I think it's very smart. Have you enabled access to outside your LAN? And if so is it going well?
