Building X is probably going to be trivial going into the future, yeah. Building and running future apps written for the Wayland will be a different beast though.

The oldest Teslas sold are now about 10 years old, and this epidemic of no-longer-holding-charge cars heading to battery replacement or scrapyards you speak of hasn't happened yet. From most accounts I've seen, the cars have 80-90

At some point you will have to either start building it for yourself or get someone to build it for you (when distros drop it from their repos). And that will become harder and harder as time goes by. Just recently apps I was building using

I honestly don't see how that is relevant, unless your perceived value of just watching videos ad free is lower than whatever price they have set; you can ignore that feature, right?

I'm going to feel icky for being a corpo simp, but how is asking for payment for a service an "extortion attempt"? Not asking as a YouTube premium subscriber or watcher of of ads (can't pay for Premium in my country and

Those aren't from YouTube though. Hypothetically, you would need to pay the creator to make two versions of the video if you want unsponsored videos. Or, you know, just use SponsorBlock.

I was hoping they would continue pushing their kibosh on sharing passwords so I would delete my account permanently (I only pay because my siblings use my account), but it seems they stopped trying to force it in Kenya.

Discovered, not newly evolved. It doesn't matter that we know about a species or not, that causes no change in the level of biodiversity. Species becoming extinct on the other hand affects biodiversity.

That's the thing, using electric appliances and vehicles means you can actually rely on more than one source of energy (including oil, using generators). A gas heater uses nothing but gas. An electric heat pump can be powered by anythi

Probably almost guaranteed to be false.

Why are you attributing being stuck to a grid to electricity and not oil or gas? It is far easier and cleaner to generate electricity in a distributed fashion (yes, even by burning oil and gas) than to be free of the oil and gas supply chai

LLM-unrelated stories here always have at least one comment saying "I asked GPT this-that-or-the-other and it said x." Why? What do these tangents add to the conversations?

Isn't this problem solvable by having multiple redundant systems of payment available for use? The overarching question of freedom from surveillance is much more interesting. It sucks, but it seems for most of us the tedium of using ca

True. Just don't try to paint it as some enlightened "rational" higher form of thought, as if trying to find peaceful solutions is somehow stupid. Just revel in the hate, and show everyone that you are exactly the same as tho

You can identify with a side without being one of them. I am neither, nor from the ME. There is no reasonable justification to use weapons that can kill so many so indiscriminately. By anyone. So yes, advocating for their use may be charact

And yet the largest Go projects seem to be doing fine, dwarfing the largest Rust or Swift projects in the level of activity, number of contributers, and general impact on the ecosystem. And I speak as someone who prefers to write Rust. Perh

You are saying there are rational reasons for taking actions that would have killed a significant proportion of the world; reasons which in hindsight were wrong and unnecessary. Sounds evil to me.

In this very specific example, I really don't see why anyone needs a checklist, or to be reminded. It's your household too, you need to know the things that need to be done, and do a reasonable share of them. In the more general &

Who is advertising though? There has to be someone producing something to sell, and for them advertising is a small proportion of their revenue, and it drives increased revenue, or they wouldn't do it. Or do you think there is an adver

Selling someone's trademark to just anyone sounds like extortion with extra steps. "Give us money or we will allow your competition or scammers to use your name to say gods-know-what on our platform."
