>>When I use MacOS, I feel obeyed and empowered

I'm dipping my toes into MacOS, do me a favour, please, tell me how to remove that stupid "Chess" program that the OS seems to think is a "core system program"
Hell, I can't even move it to a folder labeled "stupid useless built-in MacOS programs" because MacOS won't let me move it...

Thank you for actually answering my original question. I appreciate your experience, even if it's just a small sampling.

is how reliable these Chinese EVs have been over say...5 years? The stories that reach the US shores are a mix of "China bad!" and "China even more bad!" sprinkled with a bit of "We can't let China (who is bad!) sell cars here."
So, for the sane Europeans that come here, and own a Chinese EV...how's it been? What's service and support like?

And considering SpaceX is set to go IPO...perfect timing for more grifting on rump's part.

to their detriment for about 10 years? The employee ranking system IIRC

It would be a nice idea, but with the deluge of AI content being released across...well...everything...how do you keep up and who decides what is, and what isn't, AI-generated?

>>...and their societies haven't fallen prey to dictators

Hungary, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, France (in times past), Germany, Italy might disagree with you on that.

are words that do not go together. I await the news that Google has the keys to this and use it for...whatever nefarious purposes...very soon now.

The original APK guy finally got banned (and his IP range blacklisted) many years ago, which is kind of sad because he had the right idea(s) just went about advertising it the wrong way

To steal a line from someone else (I think on this very site)-

"The magic 8-ball knows everything! I'll ask it about Exchange next."

Yes, first they put in a feature few want, then offer a kill-switch. Seems like a lot of extra steps instead of making it an optional add-on.

In any event, it can be turned off....for now.

AI...whether we want it or not. Thanks Mozilla, you could be spending your money on fixing your browser rather than....this.

Hey! I have an M1 Garand, you insensitive clod! (Also a Mosin Nagant and Italian Carcano, both of which use clips, but that's neither here nor there...)

It is a mathematical certainty there is life on other planets. If it can happen here, even at a 1 in 1 billion chance....there are, as far as we know, an infinite number of planets, therefore, it'll happen again, elsewhere. Now whether we will recognize or even meet that life, remains unknown.

But that's not sexy.... (and yeah, I'd switch out of FF as well, if I could find anything that wasn't Chrom* based that didn't suck and was actively maintained....)
