Make San Francisco happen. People will remember that you did a century later like FDR is associated with Golden Gate bridge, regardless of details at the time.

Without pulling my phone out of the pocket and taking a picture with software that a coding agent wrote for me that does exactly the same thing on device. Whom does this benefit? Government doesn't care about social graces and they can also pay 100x more for custom built surveillance glasses. All Meta is doing in blocking me from avoid constant social embarrassment from difficulty placing faces.
I want an app that lets me watch local media I have in my house and I am willing to pay for it rather than ad supported stuff pushed in my face. Paid for emby premium lifetime access after Plex gone loco.
My computer, my software, I am only responsible for my actions not whatever conversations I have with a chatbot.
Not going to pay for DRM.
Can Ukraine just use these in drones without need for adding any other explosives?
Bingo, people forget how artificial and unnatural copyright laws are. Someone tries to grab your stuff, you are morally justified to fight back, alone or with a million of your best friends who decided to form a city and hire police force. Someone sees you doing something and does the same thing, you have some unhealthy control issues if you complain. If it has to be a thing, make it truly time limited like 20 years and have generous exceptions like libraries can stock 5% of total copies in circulation.
Would one day prove useful for something besides blowing cat hair out of my keyboard.
So take your own advice and move to Europe or stay in Europe rather than telling other people what to do. Should Americans be telling Europeans to get a gun, have more children or embrace unbridled free speech?
Would not wanting cis straight men to use women's bathrooms, shared locker rooms and sports competitions be androphobic? Having boundaries is perfectly healthy. Most have nothing to do with fear of you personally, but with a small minority who would take advantage of the situation. Others are not even about fear. I want to appear my best in front of opposite sex, in my own definition of opposite sex, and it's my right to brush my hair and put on flattering clothes before they see me. If other people have different preferences, they can join nudist camps.
1ms resolution should be enough for vast majority of cases and if you have special need, you can ask user for permission / accept greater scrutiny for App Store reviews. Otherwise, no ability to time a single memory access.
I drive to other people's houses or AirBNBs quite often. What are the odds all of them will have chargers? If not, I have to sit in some random place late at night for an hour, provided there is a free spot with a working charger. I don't hate the planet, but my family's safety is a more immediate concern. Modular battery swapping is the way to go I would think.
And runs on a whole lot of personal computing devices - phones, Chromebooks (as native OS and Crostini), Windows (WSL), NAS boxes, routers... No need to remember when it's everywhere. UNIX started out as an operating system with widely available sources, if not open sources in modern sense. It's attempts to create closed source proprietary ecosystems that largely failed. If the complaint is that interesting new CPUs were abandoned in favor of Intel, there are lots of ARM options these days and RISC V is coming up. I am actually typing it on a mini Elementary OS desktop that I get to avoid doing personal stuff on a work laptop, but desktops are largely out in general, so UNIX desktops are too. Although at work we do most development on Linux workstations.
Companies and regulators are an adversarial relationship. Regulators should insist on certain type and quality of data available after an accident, companies should comply but can't be expected to criticize every aspect of their own performance. If I unfortunately have an accident, I am not expected to tell police officer, DMV and insurance companies all the ways I could have handled it better "oh you know, I was thinking of work and not paying attention, and I could have started breaking earlier...". There are certain facts I have to relay to the best of my knowledge, like whether I was stopped or moving during collision, and then authorities will determine who they think is at fault.
That's on us if we are so idiotic that we can't separate a creation from its creator. Asperger's is quite clearly not autism and is not necessarily disabling, with many affected having great family and professional lives. Conflating the two exposes some to unnecessary stigma and interventions and deprives others of full support they need. All because we have some beef with long dead author.
I would be happy to try out ReiserFS if it's indeed better for something. I would also support Hans Reiser being given access to computer that he can use to positively contribute to society despite his crimes, provided that any profits go to compensate his wife's relatives and/or general social benefits. If that happened, renaming the project would be in order. But thousands of California inmates are already keeping us safe as firefighters. I don't see benefiting from that, or even celebrating any heroic actions, as minimizing or celebrating their crimes. It's just completely separate things.
