Hey, me either, but telling someone “you don’t like it? Open your own laundromat or shut up” is some stupid shit.

How do you refer to phones running Android? Calling them Androids is very common.

They would have very little reason to invade taiwan at that point. So they probably wouldn’t.

Not about actually needing a reason to invade, it’s about the implication

Just don’t be poor you fuckin’ loser

Considering there’s basically no chance of fucking up the gorilla, I don’t think you’d have to worry about the ethics of the situation.

Package managers was one of things that I had hard time adjusting to when I first adopted Linux, since I was so used to just searching for software on the internet, downloading, and installing it when I was using Windows. Now that I’m comfortable with a package manager, I find the Windows experience of installing software to be so much worse. It’s so much nicer to just install software using one or two commands in the terminal.

Are we talking in circles here?

No. “I avoid passkeys because of Google” is avoiding an entire technology because of a bad implementation. “Passkeys implemented by Google have problems” is only avoiding passkeys implemented by Google, leaving using passkeys still on the table.

Definitely look at the library. Mine allows me 20 free pages of B&W, or 10 pages of colour per month. After that it’s $0.10 for B&W and $0.20 for colour. Pretty hard to justify actually buying a printer to myself at this point. Definitely not as convenient as having a unit at home, though.

Do you have some context for this? I’m out of the loop.

It’s not only that everyone isn’t technologically literate enough to understand the limits of this technology - the AI companies are actively over-inflating their capabilities in order to attract investors. When the most accessible information about the topic is designed to get non-technically proficient investors on board with your company, of course the general public is going to get an overblown idea of what the technology can do.

As much as I believe it is a breeding ground for right wing extremism, it’s a little strange that 4chan is being lumped in with these other sites for a suit like this. As far as I know, 4chan just promotes topics based on the number of people posting to it, and otherwise doesn’t employ an algorithm at all. Kind of a different beast to the others, who have active algorithms trying to drive engagement at any cost.

They do know this. They’re avoiding any legal exposure by being vague.

It’s hilarious that you insist on the ethernet cable but not an actual computer.

The red menace has always been a winner.

Why do you think that they give a shit about online privacy? This isn’t a privacy bill, it’s a bill stopping another government from doing exactly the same shit that the US government does through domestic apps. They aren’t looking out for people, they’re afraid of the competition.

Feels like a fantastic base for an anti-trust case at the least.

I made an extremely half-hearted attempt at it at some point, but couldn’t immediately find any cli commands to toggle that option so I gave up pretty quickly.

Yeah this is really annoying for me as well. I found that if you go into the system tray and click on ‘power management’ and then tick the box for ‘manually block sleep and screen locking’ it’ll solve the issue. Unfortunately it means that your display won’t go dark when the system is idle, so I have to remember to untick that box after I’m done gaming in order to keep that behaviour.

I won’t be arrested at all, as I have been spreading the glory of Managed Democracy across the galaxy.

Well I’ll be damned, karma was actually worth something this whole time…
