Which regime? The current Iranian one, the one running is Israel or the one running the US right now? They are all kinda crap quite honestly. At this point Israel's and Iran's leaders are probably competing for body count. Iran it is is its own people and Israel its the Palestinians, which they treat as scum.
pip install blood?
Certainly not Java blood, unless we are talking the blood of the developers writing software or the black stuff that comes from grinding a few beans and adding liquid to them.
Don't they say its just a license and not outright ownership? Wonder how this will go down.
Maybe, but then maybe they shouldn't price it as if it was ownership? I'd even argue that if publishers don't provide a way to self-host a server, then they should be required to keep their servers running for 4 years after the final sale of the full price of the game or refund the "purchase" fee.
The whole point of Wordpress is so you can host your own site and not have to have your web site held hostage by one of the oligarch-controlled cloud providers!
With the help of AI coding agents,
No thanks. Good Bye!
We are moving to an economy where if you aren't in the 1%, then everything will be a few months wage. This is definitely a case where a US administration was doing everything to increase prices, intended or not. Its what happens when you let a monkey and his buffoons run a system that requires understanding of consenquences.
Where are the power plants for these?
Everything requires maintenance. Hopefully the repair equipment can be migrated to hybrid and then fully electric in the coming years. It’s going to take years, given the investment, but when oil is politically risky and environmentally risky, then there are incentives to move beyond it.
This is pure passive aggressive grey beard Linux snobbery masquerading as thoughtful commentary
Apple is bsd Unix and has a complete set of Unix tools. Apple knows there customers needs probably better than any maker and you never were going to be one.
The whole point of this is it's inexpensive. Ic you desire more power it's not for you

Kevin Rose killed digg. He took what was good and ruined it.
Reddit embodied what was good about Digg and ran away with the market share.
As long as Reddit doesn't fuck with their algo, and try to pull a "Kevin Rose" (not unlike what Tik Tok just did) it will be ok.
Fuck digg, and fuck Kevin. Go back to making videos where you pretend you're "edgy" because you have a 40oz in a brown paper bag.
Kevin and his idiot people killed Digg a long time ago when they implemented their own algo to determine what users could see and corrupted it with a bunch of advertising. It should have been left alone. Nobody cares and nobody wants it back.
International travel. You can get one of these, put a limited set of files you need on it, travel with it, and if it gets damaged, lost, or analyzed by customs, then it's no big deal. When you get home, you can wipe it and then it's ready for the next trip.
Who remembers with fondness the McBride times? Ah the shit show that was.
There's a transaction fee for cash as well. It's baked into the cost of doing business and passed on to you in the sticker price. There's a reason some businesses strive to go cashless, it is a not insignificant cost and time effort to manage cash, balance registers, manage float, and perform deposits and withdrawals at the bank. It literally adds hours to the operational time of a business (Just because the sign says closed doesn't mean someone isn't on the clock and the business isn't incurring expenses).
That's before you consider the risk involved in managing a float. Some insurances even charge a higher premium if a business keeps more than a certain amount of cash in the float on any given day.
For businesses that go cashless the transaction fee of debit / credit cards is often a saving.
Its complicated. For some its a saving and for some is lost business. For smaller "mom and pop" style businesses or those who prefer I'll go with cash.
One thing I forgot is that in a number of cases using plastic means dealing with a business tied to another country, making your ability to buy stuff dependent on them politically. Then the other risk is choosing a purely national system that cuts out travellers. For this reason mixed options are the way to go, though my pecking order would be cash -> national entity -> foreign entity.
Most everything that involved a plastic card, or a proxy for one, involves some third-party to make a transaction, and those third-parties are also typically wanting a transaction fee. They also sometime decide their "morals" are law onto themselves.
Ensuring money exists in a physical form ensure that the ability to do a transaction does not depend on the access to a device, so helps keep the ability to spend money democratic.
