My impression is, that movement it's more about having a modern accessory. All the videos I've seen so far are about look, not technology, purpose or actual usage; thus I label them fashion-deck. Kinda strange, but maybe something

The game was only 5 months ago released on Android. And no, this is absolutely niche, most people who are gaming on mobile have probably never even heard of this game.

Surrendered in what way? Do those billion of people exclusively only use android/iOS and only pay with Visa/Mastercard?

Most scientists are not very well known, even in their own discipline. Their fame is usually locally and temporary, limited to which ever bubble they were roaming. Luhmann was well known in Parts of Europe and South-american, and died ~30 y

There have been many fixes over the decades, but it's hard to change the fundamentals of something widely-used.

Maybe it was added in the meanwhile, but I see Posteo under email. Also, disputable if Posteo is really better, as it highly depend on your requirements. I dismissed it for some reason when choosing and went with mailbox.org, which is also

It appeared better, because there were fewer features and more time to develop and test. But it's also a lot of nostalgia, because everything moved slower, the world was smaller, there was a lower standard; people will usually remember

Skyrocketing in this context is a fast steep rise, moving fast toward the sky; so it's about relative height in a specific timeframe, not absolute height. I mean, nobody would say Windows is skyrocketing, because it already is the sky

They are not, and it's not helping the message to spread this wrong picture. Nazis had a dedicated machinery, based on crude racism and conspiracy ideology, which was actively seeking and executing their genocide. Israels lunatics lack

White text on a mostly white background is not really a good choice, especially if you want to communicate something important. Kinda unrelated, but are any good sources for deaths in that whole conflict before the 7th October, including ot

The top distro is SteamOS, which is based on Arch, but does not appear as such in the stats. The Arch appearing in the stats has to be CachyOS and other gaming-distros, as also real Arch-users. But yes, SteamOS makes ~25% of the users. Thou

The number doubled in the last year. April 2025 it was around 2.3%, and has been jumping around 2-3% for several years. Skyrocking seems justified when looking at a greater picture. Though, it's a longer process, not something that sud

Normal customers are not paying for APIs, so there is little value in offering them for free, especially when it can be harmful. B2B sometimes does pay for them, but not always is it obvious from the outside that they even exist. Much comme

Yes, likely, but make even less sense, as you can't except support for education as a freelancer. I mean a freelancers whole purpose is to sell skill and be gone when the job is finished. You are from the beginning just an expendable t

Care to explain a bit more? With 35 companies, that would be around 1-2 years per company on average if you are retired or near retirement. I doubt any company is seriously investing in a worker who would likely be gone the next year. Getti

Bumblebee (the Transformer) might have an objection here. Purposeful mimicry can be used for talking on certain complexity. It does not have to be human-level to be communication.

Neurons are used for more tasks than just problem-solving. Dogs have a good smell, so a big part of their brain is probably used for just this. They seem to be also much more acrobatic and reacting faster in general than an Octopus, so thes

Most services have now light premium-tiers, where they do show ads. And then there are the rats like Amazon, who just add them to the normal tiers, and offer an additional service to not show ads.

None of the tools here are for the masses. Automation in itself is already hard to grasp for the average user, and while some of those are simpler to start than others, they all are wall to climb.

Most of the industry today is educated to avoid manual hacky solutions on single servers. You need to have fancy UI, frameworks with easy feedback and layers on top of layers who maintain other layers. Cron is an ancient tool with arcane sy

Actually, they do. The purpose of many appliances is to reduce the workload of humans, with the end goal of zero human intervention.

Not knowing them, how could OP trust them instantly? Whether they really have that trust or not, you have to know them for a while and from many different trustable sources. The story is a bit strange.

This seems more about infrastructure than open source itself. It seems fair to let them pay for the additional unnecessary costs they create, especially when they can do better.
