I'm trying to figure out exactly how many pixels would need to align on what scales for this to apply at all. And it sounds like an after-the-fact consequence that won't prevent anything, just potentially overwhelm courts. People that don't know tech certainly shouldn't try to regulate tech.

What about oppressor nations like UST?

Well, that's certainly a large range. I don't disagree, but in the case of organized religion, isn't it other people tricking them? And some people apparently find gratification in feelings of martyrdom.

A recipe for unhappiness? People should stop tricking their brains with immediate gratification.

I met a good mushroom therapist on hinge. I did dating apps for about a week before realizing how lame that approach is for me. I had a few "interesting" dates and decided to go back to meeting people in the real world, even if it takes longer. Less false positives that way.

I think that one problem with Windows is constant change, which affects both software quality and user experience. One problem with Linux is too many distributions resulting in conflicting information and relatively small userbases. Hardware support and drivers are apparently still issues for Linux as well. Neither OS is perfect; everything is a tradeoff. The Linux zealots are certainly worse than the Windows zealots. I was trying to get to Linux but I still find many aspects of the Linux community to be far more offensive than almost any aspect of the Windows community.

Of course all vendors keep everything, regardless of what they say. It would be idiotic to assume otherwise.

That's different than disclosing to their customer base that they keep everything.

Or the incredible existential/financial risk of OpenAI being forced to disclose any part of everything to any government in civil or even criminal court. OpenAI is not trying to protect consumers here; they are trying to protect their business model and their business. But with a proper judicial system, their business model would already be unsustainable, if it is not otherwise already.

Do you know how this might relate to the masses of those galaxies and whether faster speeds have been observed?

Trust me man, you'll never see me even evaluate such a device. Shit, I miss my blackberry.

I didn't say that Linux doesn't work (especially on server), and I've certainly seen it be a stable desktop sometimes, but I think it and the apps for the average user that run on it have more issues on more hardware than Windows does, which other comments on this thread seem to support. It's not just this one machine; this is actually the fourth machine I've tried. Laptops are certainly a bigger problem, but I've honestly never seen a single Linux desktop that didn't have issues of some sort.The issue I have with a new desktop is that it doesn't restore after suspend. I barely use these machines and I have problems with all of them. It's kindof a big time sync compared to Windows, which generally just works. That does not mean that I'm a fan of Windows; I've just been too lazy to switch for decades, and WSL kept me on Windows. I also expected Linux to have greater hardware support by now, largely based on all the comments here saying that it would prevent discarding a bunch of old hardware due to the Windows 11 forced update coming. Based on my (admittedly very limited experiences), I project migrating to Linux not saving as much hardware as the comments on this site seem would suggest. If we want Linux on the desktop, we absolutely need to do something about the problems, not deny them, blame the user, etc.

This is exactly the problem - Linux crashes often and the average user sees the crash and says "hmm, that's unstable", not "hmm, let me go spelunk some cryptic logs". I'm a veteran tech and have no interest in even attempting to resolve this as I might have 25 years ago - I just want stability. This keeps users on windows.

. Windows wasn't crashing on this hardware, only Linux (and Ubuntu is worse). i can boot into windows and use it for months without a crash. Linux crashes often. Just a fact on this system, and similar to what I've seen with distributions of Linux on other laptops. I really wanted it to work, but it doesn't.

I've been trying to make the switch to fedora/libre/Firefox for a few months. It crashes more than windows/office, which is actually pretty stable. I mean full OS lockup crash, which I can't even explain - reboot required for entering text into a browser text area or editing a spreadsheet, all unsaved data lost, start over like you're using floppies. It's sad, but Linux does not seem ready for the desktop in 2025, when there has never been a greater opportunity.

Which BS?

AI BS?
Marketing/advertising BS?
Personal data theft BS?
Tracking BS?
Tech hype BS?
Disposable electronics BS?
FOMO BS?
Other BS?
All of the above BS?

Seems like most of what new tech can produce these days is BS.

Just wait for your neural implant!
