I always feel so disconnected to my fellow humans when I hear people longing for "simpler times" where they are just out in nature with no technology or modern tools. I would be miserable living simply like that. I don't like

This is still the case. You can absolutely buy computers without an OS, but most people don't want that so they aren't quite as easy to find. Here is an HP without an OS: https://www.newegg.com/p/1VK-001E-4UPC

I have bought many computers that have Windows installed, they have all been trivial to replace with Linux installs. On almost all of them, I never even booted into windows once. Was it wasted money going to Microsoft? I don't know, I

Are you suggesting that you never know if the computer you are buying has windows on it or not? This is not the same thing at all. These computers all advertise that they come with Windows. It isn't like when you buy it, you have a 5%

Sure, if I had enough time. But I have more software I want to write than I have time, between my day job, my kids and family, chores, other hobbies, etc. I had so many projects I wanted to do, but when I thought about all of the work that

It is the only short term solution, though.

No there isn't, and certainly not for the Apple price point

It's also in this very announcement, in the first paragraph: > Before release, we tested GLM-5.3-Flash anonymously as ox-alpha on OpenCode and OpenRouter to gather user feedback. It quickly became the most popular model of the week

The entire point of this comment chain is that Apple makes great hardware but they don’t like the OS. Buying a Dell laptop doesn’t get you the 256 GB GPU.

Those are all third party services that decided to stop shipping Intel releases for their Mac software. That isn’t Apple’s fault.

$7000 of that is for the 16tb of storage. That is certainly not worth it if you are trying to save money.

Sure, and living there is the housing equivalent to buying a super cheap off brand computer. You get what you pay for.

How can you be certain you haven’t failed a Turing test?

That is 1% of adults being CURRENTLY locked up, not people who have ever been locked up in their life. That means the stat already factors in how long they are in for.

And yet your prisons are full of people in jail for marijuana related crimes. Because putting people in prison for weed does not stop people smoking weed.

It would not stop crimes committed by the people in charge of enforcing the draconian punishments.

That isn’t what the tragedy of the commons is. It isn’t about something inherent in having a shared resource that dooms it. It is about the idea that when there is a limited, shared public resource, individuals making rational self-interest

The United States is certainly part of the west, and we incarcerate people at a higher rate than any other advanced nation, BY FAR. The idea that we are soft on crime is insane. Harsher punishments do not lead to lower crime.

The US “locks people up” at a much higher rate, and for longer, than Japan does. About 1% of the adult population is in jail in the United States, and it’s about 0.03% of the population in Japan. The US puts people in jail at 30x the rate J

Just because you can spend money poorly doesn’t mean money isn’t needed to fix an issue.

Seems to be overloaded. I wonder if the site needs a bit more bloat to handle the load, or a bit less.

What’s to stop them from seeing an empty phone, and then accuse you of deleting it when they asked to see it?

by cortesoft 2mo ago
You don’t need it to delete anything, anyway. The encrypted second partition is indistinguishable from random data, so you don’t need to delete it.

Everyone seems to think so, but I honestly don't understand why it bothers people so much. I find it slightly amusing when I even notice at all, normally I am so focused on the content of what I am working on that I don't really p

Do you honestly think that our society was more (or as) equal 200 years ago than it is today? Or even 50 years ago? Even in the 1970s, there were places in the United States that women couldn't get a checking account without a man co-s

The best technical solution is one code opens to a phone that has things but isn't your actual phone, and then another code that opens to your real phone.
