Yes, the network effect is huge with social network - if not the biggest thing about them. People tolerate a lot just to participate where the people they want to be closer with participate.

>Most people who write reviews aren't exactly the most mentally stable people either. If you're not getting something in return, most people won't write a review, that just leave the nut jobs. Baseless, callous accusation.

As much as I hate jif , thinking about it, "GPU" works the same - we say gee-pee-you and not gh-pee-you . Garbage Collection is also gee-cee . So it's only logical that jif is the correct one - even if it's not th

That is a different thing. It was not that the doctor was reluctant to recommend weight loss due to their fear of being branded as body-shaming, it was that he denied the link outright, even though you were receptive to a weight-loss plan.

Konsole handled both perfectly - emojis and the large text too. Large text is particularly mind-blowing to me, I think I have never seen it, and definitely not in scripts. But it looks like it could be mighty useful.

>They don't do that because there's no way they could possibly get away with it. Yes indeed. They use it to blend in. What they want is to not stick out, so, they act like the rest of the browsers do. Just like the tools you

Local search ("shops nearby" type of thing) is much better at Google. But hey, that's what bangs are for. I use ddg as my primary, and if I don't like the results (1 out of 20 searches, if that), I just append !g and be

I don't think there is a point there. In case of the Tor browser, they use the user agent to blend in, so they are not a good candidate to do anything about how stupid the user agent is. It's the current heavyweights who could cha

Wrt/ Tor browser, it's not that they don't dare to, it's that they don't want to. One of the goals of that browser is to not stick out too much, and changing the user agent would do just that, so they don't do

That's exactly how haggling at bazaars work. The prices are set ridiculously high, because of the haggling culture, sellers expect customers to haggle. And they won't turn away anyone who's too shy or rich to haggle. That is

Might be that they are trying to contact somebody? Phones are also communication devices.

Pixel of course. And yeah the Androids suck mostly. Pixels suck too in some ways, for example, they are quite bulky, and heat up a bunch. But overall, by far the best Android experience in my opinion. No SD slot though.

Words don't just have a literal, technical meaning. If the phone itself doesn't allow a straightforward, user friendly happy-path for removal, it might as well be "unremovable" in a sense that it is indeed unremovable fo

The current legal reality might be corporate propaganda, but not exclusively corporate propaganda, it's the current legal reality as well. "root access voids warranties" is a fact in many jurisdictions, regardless of how it c

There is one even simpler: ban foreign services, or even software products outright, from govt operations. It would change the landscape instantly, and dramatically. And it would provide a much greater independence in tech, and also help fo

I agree with you. Amazon and Ali are not good examples though, as they are subject of the network effect still: the more people are on there, the more desirable they are. But the rest are not subject to it, almost at all. Other different sy

I don't think any amount of grassroots anything will make the year of the Linux desktop happen. What could work is what Valve does: providing a valuable device with Linux preinstalled. Microsoft's backdoor bundle won't be def

It's best when they state it themselves, and we can also verify by third parties. Not stating it, or outright obscuring it is also information. The Hailuo name is definitely an indicator, but it could be Taiwanese or Singaporean as wel

I think you a misunderstand why people cheat. There is nothing "nowadays" about playing unfair. Minecraft is also a bad example, as it's also cheated, and botted to hell. If there is anything to gain in any context, and you g

The result, and the taboo method gives a thrill. It's a power trip essentially. It is also used to close the perceived skill gap, or get revenge. Some people enjoy a very uneven power balance - in games, this means that they like to ge

The company supplies contemporary AI solutions, like LLM and video generation. The name is just a reference, like in the case of Tesla, or like how there is a kaliapparat in the American Chemical Society logo.

Your link's parent page ( https://github.com/google ) states that they are in the United States of America, on the top, so it's not a good example. I don't know about your OP, but even as a layperson, I person

Forget the project page, I couldn't find definitive information on any of the official pages. They state HQ in Singapore on LinkedIn, and San Francisco elsewhere. Compared to this, it's outright disingenuous that they don't m

You don't need Steam OS, any major Linux distro will suffice, as the customizations are not really on OS level, but on the Steam application level. And also, you don't strictly need Steam either, because the Heroic launcher can al

The reason is more directly economical. We have more than sufficient energy to not have these gates in question, as demonstrated by people who disable the checks in the win11 installer and have it succeed on "unsupported" hardware

Why not gate it, if it means business? Not to mention, Microsoft is rotten from the very beginning. But to be fair, it's not like the other tech giants are much more philanthropic. For my hurt feelings, I found refuge in the open sour

Horrible stuff. Data is far more important than society, regulation, individuals give it mind. Doubly so if the data is technically in another jurisdiction. And it's a classic insurance scenario too - redundant storage seems like money
