That's why I finish all my AI prompts with the phrase "don't make mistakes" repeated fifteen times.

Xi tells them what to do, and they do it. That is the marvelously wonderful thing about authority.

A bunch of gamers are confused about the law. That's all.

The real problem is that if credit card companies make a payment for something illegal, they can be prosecuted.

It doesn't matter if there is a monopoly, duopoly, or a fully competitive market, none of them are going to knowingly make illegal payments for you.

No payment processor is going to make the payment for something illegal. (If they do, they can be prosecuted).

If you want to change that, you need to change the law.

It's not a duopoly. There is Discover, American Express, PayPal, SteamWallet, PayPay, etc. I didn't list half of the ones accepted by Steam. If you're still using Visa/Mastercard and complaining about it, that's your fault.

The actual purpose of Bitcoin is to make a system where no government can prevent someone from paying someone else.

And it succeeds at that. There are other problems, but not that one.

If it requires using ChatGPT, then Captchas still meet the goal of making them rather expensive to get past (although in this case, OpenAI is paying for it).

Yeah, my post presents data that supports yours (although you should have read tfa).

I gave you a link because you might find it interesting. You responded as an asshole, dumb, and a jerk.

You hit the trifecta.

It's the best part of North Korea: no ads.

If you install Wayland it will help with that "fast mouse pointer" problem. Can't have it going too fast, reinstall the lag.

These concepts have been addressed in much more boring detail then your mind can handle.

The main issue is that before now, there has never been a Palestinian state. Jordan owned part of the land, and Egypt owned part of the land. Jordan and Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel relinquishing their claims on the land.

But the Palestinians are still there, you can't make them disappear, and they have rights and should be treated well.

Weird; Teams is the one Microsoft product (other than their mice and keyboards, which don't really count) that I actually like using. It's a little slow, and the text-search capability isn't very good, but for the most part it just gets out of my way, does its job, and helps me do mine. (I'm running it under MacOS, though, maybe that makes a difference)

Unlike any other software program you run, your computer's primary operating system has access to pretty much everything on your computer; it has to, or it wouldn't be able to function as an interface to the hardware.

That means that the #1 feature your OS can offer is to be trustworthy -- if you can't trust your OS's developers to do the right thing by you, you're hopelessly screwed; no amount of virus scanning or firewalling can protect you from the OS itself. Continuing to use an untrustworthy OS is like keeping your money in a bank controlled by Bernie Madoff and hoping that he'll decide not to take your money.
