How do we sue the USA for polluting our our world?

they get to control the ad infrastructure and the data that comes from the full Google suite,

Well I want at least a free phone and $50 per hour for the ads they force on me.

I no longer use my Samsung phone for the Internet - the experience is horrendous. If I don't have access to a Linux/BSD machine, I don't use the internet. I am not going to upgrade my phone till it breaks. Probably then I will use a dumb phone.

Please EU, lets have an EUtube!

.. bugs as we know them.

Replacing them with something infinitely worse!
Bugs as we don't know them. That are impossible to find, let alone fix. With every possibility that using AI to fix them will make them worse.

"yes"

or possibly
"No".

YMMV

besides, you can customize the goddamn ribbon

But if you work on five different computers over the course of a day, customizing will get you beaten up by five different people every day.

We grew up with an alphabetic writing system, why on earth would Microsoft want to replace that with indecipherable icons?

Because a significant percentage of Americans are illiterate, and MS thinks America is the whole world.

Hint for MS: Illiterates probably are not using a word processor.
(Unless preparing word salads for Trump to eat).

You can't handle the truth! (MS)

... 100% of AI is total garbage.

Bill Gates is right - AI will destroy 100% of Microsoft jobs - it is well on the way already.

But companies providing decent goods and services will probably flourish if the competition is totally focused on flogging AI slop.

It's probably stuff like the age of the account. If it's 10 years old, the chance that the owner is under 13 and registered it as a toddler is quite small.

Can someone please tell this to Ebay.
They regularly sent me emails in which they thank me for being a user for more than 21 years, but request I use a credit card to verify my ID to prove my age if I am trying to buy a tool with a sharp edge. (including a pair of scissors with a blade less than 1" long).

I live in the UK, and do not have a credit card. I do have several debit cards. Ebay does not seem to understand that some parts of the world are not in America.

Wen I was doing this in the UK, I was asked "what is the worst case scenario?"

and the correct answer is ...
Fully armed fighter jets fall on central London, and YOU get the blame!

A Datum is a single data point.

In UK English, data can be a collective (uncountable) noun (like water). It does not have to be.

If you have two data sets, and fling them all in the same database. What you had in the database before, and what you have after, is still just data.

My understanding is they used to change the lights to green in the direction of the emergency service vehicles. But what if emergency service vehicles are coming from more than one direction?

They then decided it was better to just turn all the lights red, leaving junctions clear for the emergency service divers to sort it out amongst them selves.

It is DEFINITELY BETTER this way.

I think I was told that the emergency service vehicle turns on something in the cab to make it happen, but I may be wrong about that.

It should be possible to open the door from both inside and outside the car in case of complete power loss.

Anything else should be treated as kidnap AND attempted murder.

Is FVWM95 still a thing?

systemd legitimately CAUSES a lot of problems in Linux.

If you have on-site name servers, every time you upgrade, name serving ceases to work, so you cant login to the non-working machines to fix them!

And a load of other problems.

Systemd is the software equivalent of plague, and belongs in hell!
