Apes are monkeys though, just like we’re apes and birds are dinosaurs

You assume everyone uses Apple keyboards

Wrong phrasing on my part.

No matter which side you ask, the Republic Of China (ROC) or the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Taiwan isn’t a country, it is a region of the country of China. Saying that Taiwan is a country satisfies neither the ROC nor the PRC’s claims

Not even Taiwan claims to be a country though. They claim to be the sole legitimate government of China, hence their actual name, The Republic Of China, and not “republic of taiwan” or some other thing.

Putin only exists because Russians resent the west after having been sidelined despite foregoing communism (which Gorbachev did in the hope that Russia would be able to join, and benefit from trade with, the liberal bloc)

If you think they’ll resent Putin and not the west for every minor (and some major) annoyance brought by sanctions, you are ignoring decades of policies done in the same spirit and resulting in the exact opposite of the intended effect. All this does is demonstrate to the Russians that the west is indeed their enemy, and thereby reinforce Putin and the likes of him.

All sanctions do is target innocents and reinforce whatever government the US is supposedly targeting. See literally every single country sanctioned by the US.

Sure, but what they’re saying is that even a little bit of friction will make some people give up, and that kills the virality of things like social media

It’s the original English letter for th which was more or less deleted from the alphabet when imported printing press types lacked said letter.

Before it got universally replaced by th some printers used y like in “ye olde” which is really pronounced “the old”

Everyone has a VPN or can use proxies extremely easily nowadays, especially in Russia. Literally all this does is creating a precedent of a parts manufacturer (““manufacturer”” in the case of nvidia), and y’all are cheering because “fuck russians”.

All this does is creating this bad precedent while accomplishing exactly nothing

Absolutely idiotic take that endangers not only Linux but fractures the concept of open source itself.

OC finished their comment with “call me crazy” lmao

It’s not UI backsliding. It’s Microsoft being incompetent. I have no idea how they’re still in business, and astounded at their valuation. It seems like everything they manage to push out is just barely functioning

I’m under 30, I have no idea what winamp is but I figured it’s some music software from the skins’ pics. I imagine it was popular for it to have a museum thing about user created skins

(I haven’t googled anything yet)

I highly doubt the operating hours of this ball of decadence match the time when solar power peaks

A small drone like this will make home deliveries even more ecologically advantageous, far better than combustion engines or 3 ton electric vehicles

Using a mac daily for work, no it doesn’t. Some built in software features keep fucking up, external device or not. Like the “pause music” button, which stopped working entirely on my mac no matter if you press it on the builtin or external keyboard, the multi desktop which keep fucking up and putting apps on top of other apps that are fullscreen, making them barely usable…

We agree on the external device part though, it can decide to stop working with stuff you used for months for no good reason

All this on an M2 pro that came out a year ago

No

That’s not the argument I’m making. What I’m saying is that if you only take the raw numbers for a given event into account, and don’t consider the population of the event, then you can make any event affecting a large population look like an urgent affair when it’s not so urgent

Human driven cars should be replaced with automation (or even better, automated public transportation) as soon as it’s viable. It’s not yet, so we should not rush corporations to put their unsafe vehicles on the street. Because then the only thing you’ll rush is transforming human driver fatalities into robotic driver fatalities, and you never know how worse things can get

Edit: Wording

The fact that a thing most people do and some for hours daily has a large effect shouldn’t be surprising

If it’s a news agency they could sign it. Great.

But then it hinders the denouncing of police violence, whistleblowing, and allows corporations to sign their claims while what regular people record will be assumed to be false

Edit: reporting can also be done as a second hand account, reposting videos/photos already in circulation, meaning that either a news company will sign those second hand recordings at the risk of validating AI content, or only their own corporate recordings will be used.

No one wins in any case

Get a pair of Viture glasses then, it’s about $500
