You can't pirate ram though

Do they get to release the legitimate interest mosquitoes if they aren't given permission?

That would be true if the GUI worked correctly.

However, more often than not, some inner thing breaks, which means that the GUI just throws an error screen and tells you "good luck". So you have to search for that text in Google, and it will send you to an obscure forum where a guy said in 2014 that the solution for that problem is to run some random command in the terminal.

For example the "app store" GUI for Kubuntu never worked for me. It always stalls at some point or another. Meanwhile, running sudo apt upgrade worked flawlessly. Both operations should be doing the exact same thing under the hood.

Two times already, a relative that uses Manjaro but has no idea about Linux came to me for help because the "app store GUI" (which is a different one than in KDE) one day stopped working. The issue was to run some random key-relayed command.

Years later, I found out that apparently the Manjaro maintainers let their certificates expire MORE THAN ONCE. Which has to be fixed manually by the end user apparently. And they apparently didn't think of adding a notification in the GUI telling you about this. Which is bonkers. Not everyone reads all the news articles relating to their OS.

Because I don't want to be a politician.

There are also too many stupid executives. That doesn't mean that I want to be an executive. I cannot both be a politician and an executive.

Yes, the post is meant to be pro-left.

But your first sentence in your comment is wrong. Classic correlation is not causation. With the addition of "if X is Y because Z, if Z wouldn't be, then X wouldn't be Y".

An emergency stop is better than nothing, but they should ALSO have an emergency "let me take control". Sometimes stopping does not decrease the danger.

Example: the waymo enters a rail crossing with flashing lights, and the barriers close with the car inside. The waymo sees the barriers so it stops. What you want in that case is accelerate and get the fuck out of there. If you have a baby in the backseat, there may not be enough time to get the baby and get out of there on foot.

It's the only logical place. Trump won the FIFA peace prize. It's only fair they hold the world cup in his country.

Megacorps don't burn resources for the shake of it. They do it to train/run LLMS.

If all that running/training is done by the individual instead, the individual is going to be the one burning the resources.

In fact, it would probably be more resource intensive.

Since centralization and scale usually improves efficiency.

Most people don't have computer hardware that was built with the sole purpose of training/running LLMs. LLM data centers do. Purpose-built hardware is more efficient than generic hardware.

It's from the episode of Futurama where "death by snu-snu" happens

Not if the maximum is due to the database being configured to have a maximum space of 2000 bytes for that field.

Easy. Just use utf-32 and make the text field a maximum of 500 letters. That will be a maximum of 2000 bytes, doesn't matter if the user is french or Chinese.

Disagree. You can easily degooglify for the most part. Except android. But you won't get your friends and family to contact you via anything other than Whatsapp (except in america).

And teens without Instagram just don't exist socially. Maybe with TikTok now. But not like TikTok is any better.
