You're right. My loonixtard brain didn't grok this without your input. My device is going to be pwned because I didn't use a Microsoft verified image. Should I ever feel the need to start the revolution, I will make sure to u

I am sorry that free choice what software to install on your device goes against your existential fear of "AI extinction" as displayed in your profile description. I guess I was wrong, and surrendering all your rights, being track

Okay, how would you fix the scammy email problem? Only allow authorizing people to send emails after they applied for a government issued address? Outlaw all non big corpo operating systems? Perfect surveillance? All because some boomers ca

Only that nothing about this requires big expertise. If you are a user of computers, you should be able to navigate the basics. It's the same like driving a car, you must know the traffic rules and how to behave, but that doesn't

How is this overly simplistic? It is pretty simple. You buy some hardware, and some company wants to force you to use their telemetry ridden, data collecting software under the guise of stupid people being unable to do a google search and c

What is it with Microsoft shills everywhere? Everytime some subject like this headline comes up, people fetch some kind of dubious arguments like "muh deployment". This is actually trivial in linux, and even if not, the effort to

When I was 8, I went to the library in our town a lot. My parents went there sometime to return their books. At some point I just stayed there when they would go home. First I was in the children/teenager section and soon in the genera

As long as it gets the logic right I don't care. You probably also don't calculate the bitmasks for sprites in your head and have the full maze design in your head. So as long as you have the working logic you can supply it with t

Well, my ThinkPad P14 Gen5 is pretty much this. Small, lightweight, 64gig RAM, 2TB SSD, and a pretty darn good screen. But yeah it's black and has a coating and you won't feel like a genius machinist when you touch it, plus no app

Unfounded cope. And I know this will get me downvoted, as these arguments seem to be popular among the intellectuals on this glorious page. The machanism of intelligence is not understood. There isn't even a rigorous definition of what

I associate this style with the suckless foundation, even though it is distinct from e.g. the dwm logo. https://dwm.suckless.org/

This holds for everything. Everything is a tool and always stating "It's just a tool, people are using it wrong", doesn't constitute an argument. A tool should be judged on it's usefulness and if a tool is "mis

It's actually very readable once you get the hang of it. The transition from imperative paradigms to Haskell can be tough, but once you've overcome this barrier, the code reads effortlessly. In your example case: split the string

Not intended to be snarky, but what would you consider them? Is it akin to a function in the mathematical sense, that takes (sensory) input and creates output based on that? If so, how does this function work, if not by statistics? I am gen

Unironirally this. Whenever taking drugs of any kind, but especially with one's that meddle with your reality. There is no excuse for not doing your research. Your consciousness is all you have

Note that I am a German. I would say there are few. Bad education, especially in schools, a broken railway and public transport system, as well as incredibly high taxes. You may say "free healthcare" and a point can be made here,

The death penalty should be abolished entirely, even though it may indulge the public thirst for "justice", driven by superficial motives. Adhering to a modern and enlightened worldview, the consumption of drugs should be the choi
