I was being facetious. Obviously it’s a huge problem.

I mean, ethnic cleansing is unlikely to even care about genetics.
Worst that could happen is that you get denied insurance coverage or pay a bigger premium than you should. Or get caught easier if you decide to succumb to a life of crime. Or in the future they might be able to figure out if you have predisposition towards addictive behaviors and market gambling and stuff to you.
So hopefully nothing too bad, but personally I’d still feel iffy about a private corporation owning the rights to my DNA.
Okay what the hell is wrong with it
It took me three times to convince it that there’s 3 r’s in strawberry…
You can also use a distro with more up to date packages. But not if you need Debian’s stability of course.
Oh I thought it was already implied that Ubuntu is shit lol
Absolutely. I hate Ubuntu now, but Karmic Koala was my gateway drug. I was scared of partitioning so wubi meant I could still try it out.
Then Unity happened and I no longer cared for Ubuntu.
Debian can be annoying if you want to install a newish version of something from the package manager. It’s why I can’t use APT to keep Rust up to date and have to use Rustup instead, for an example.
Commercial ones would work I think, but viewing angles can be off on at least outdoor models.

Russia still exists so what are you on about?
The soviet union doesn’t, but the power was always concentrated into Russia, and guess what, Russia wants their territory back now. The countries which existed under the USSR and never want Russian rule again? Russia sees them as rightfully theirs. I for one am glad to have NATO protection. And I’m glad something is being done to help our brothers in Ukraine, because they weren’t as lucky as we were, to join the EU and NATO.
Tbh I haven’t watched him in a while.
Ahh, the days where something was “a billion dollar industry” or a “billion dollar company” was big.
The company he’s constantly giving the finger to, is more of a trillion dollar company now.
I don’t have anything specific to out him with, he mostly seems like a genuinely nice dude, but here’s my take on him:
Louis Rossmann pretty much supports right to repair because he ran (runs?) a board-level Apple device repair shop and his life would be much easier with access to schematics. And he’s got a YouTube channel that got loads of views from blasting Apple with all this, so he must’ve realized that this would be popular with his viewers too.
He’s also a libertarian. In many areas, it seems like he’s for LESS regulation of companies. Including on workers’ rights, because “the free market will make everything great”. Are we really sure his right to repair stance is genuinely because he wants the best for everyone?
That said, if I had an Apple device with a bad logic board and I was in the area, I’d take it to him without any hesitation. I honestly doubt he’s scamming his customers. Like, ever. I think his business practices are good, it’s his political views that are suspicious.
Did people ever doubt that though?
Yeah he’s inflating his ego. And he’s making money off it. The only reason I sort of like MrBeast is that there are plenty of other people ALSO doing a bunch of shit for show and making mad bank from it, mostly nobody gives much back, but he realized that philanthropy can be self-funding if done with enough show.
But it’s still very much obvious philanthropy porn with MrBeast, not true philanthropy.
Fuck me, at this point I feel like it wouldn’t be too hard to just… create a website selling expensive ass Trump shit and in reality dropship it from Aliexpress
I mean there’s probably a bunch of people doing it, but I wonder how hard it would be to do it without, y’know, any legal trouble.
Well thing is, they all track you to some point.
Specs wise, LG still makes some of the best TVs. You want 4k 120Hz, they’ve got you. But if you feel morally unable to support a company that has opt-out tracking like this, you’re a bit more limited. I thought maybe Sony’s better, but nope. There’s instructions on how to disable ACR on their TVs too. Philips comes with Roku or Google TV, both of which snoop on you, but I don’t know if they do the automatic content recognition thing.
Dumb TVs exist, but good luck finding one with a decent resolution AND price.
But even then, is the water truly consumed? Does it get contaminated with something like the cooling water of a nuclear power plant? Or does the water just get warm and then either be pumped into a water body somewhere or ideally reused to heat homes?
There’s loads of problems with the energy consumption of AI, but I don’t think the water consumption is such a huge problem? Hopefully, anyway.
It’s currently used by a billion people worldwide. If it was irrelevant, devs wouldn’t be worried about it breaking things now would they
If tracking being off by default was the issue, the share of Firefox users should be consistently under 1% because who even turns on tracking?
The reality is, nobody outside of tech circles uses it anymore. Hell, a lot of devs even prefer to not support Firefox if they want to do something non-standard that Chromium allows and Firefox doesn’t.
Safari sucks but it has actual usage numbers and is currently the only reason not to put a big ass “this site only runs on Chromium” error on a lot of websites.
The Safari-Chromium illusion of choice might be a better deal for iOS users but that would still be only 2 browsers to choose from. Mozilla ain’t gonna invest in anything that isn’t AI or advertising. Firefox on iOS is a pipe dream.
This might’ve changed but 10 years ago the small shop next to my school said they wouldn’t allow card payments of under 1 EUR because they’d be losing money. In Estonia
