Horses can go places cars cannot. You have completely missed the point.

I know you are being facetious, but for the sake of argument, at some point, the tariffs are so big, no trade is happening, so it doesn’t matter how “big” the tariff numbers are at that point, it’s all the same.
Post-truth society sucks.
Is it built by Tesla, Meta, Boeing, or some other American corp?
Nope, nope, nope.
Americans don’t really value freedom. Not really. Americans pretend they like freedom, but they will give up all their freedoms for the slightest bit of convenience, and because social media told them so.
Am I talking about consumer electronics, or politics? Impossible to say.
The “weak men” part is the part where people become so complacent, docile, and addicted to convenience that they allow the corporate takeover to happen.
Weak men creating hard times is happening right now, in real time, right on schedule.
Yes, but also no. Older hardware is less power efficient, which is a cost in its own right, but also decreases backup runtime during power failure, and generates more noise and heat. It also lacks modern accelerated computing, like ai cores or hardware video encoders or decoders, if you are running those appd. Not to mention lack of nvme support, or a good NIC.
For me a good compromise is to recycle hardware upgrades every 4-5 years. A 19 year old computer? I would not bother.
I think it’s a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.
This is still not possible in all scenarios. For example, wildcard certificates for DNS providers with no API support.
I think it’s safe to say that intent is what matters, not the technicality of communicating that intent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intention
In practice, patents don’t really restrict the availability of a technology, from a consumer perspective. Patent holders regularly licence the use of patents. The only purpose of a patent is to fund research costs by creating some guaranteed revenue stream for the patentor.
The only time what you describe happens is if a company ignores its prime directive to generate profit. Such benevolent companies are a very rare thing.
I’m with you on this. There is no evidence here to suggest or infer intent to block speech to meet any agenda. An overly censitive CSAM filter seems to be the most likely, and a perfectly reasonable, if not annoying, explanation.
Let’s keep accusation of censorship for the cases where speech appears to be blocked intentionally, i.e. for the purposes of manipulating a narrative.
Are you here because you believe in something and actually want to see it happen, or are you here just to stroke your own ego. Ain’t nobody got time for that second part. Get real.
Learning ESPHome has been the most liberating thing. Take back control of your home. Local first. Privacy respecting.
Oh well. Federation makes this a non issue.
I am one of those. I ditched Signal and went back to the stock sms app and adopted matrix. Haven’t looked back since. The reality is that Signal dropping support for sms wasn’t going to stop me from using SMS. For that, other people need to be convinced to stop using it at the same time. Signal didn’t have nearly the market size needed to make that happen. And now that card is played, and nothing has changed. Signal is just another messaging app among hundreds. At least matrix offers a real paradigm shift.
Americans are so obsessed with money, they forgot about actually living.
My dudes. Money is just a means to an end. It is not the end goal. Wake the fuck up.
There is still waste involved into putting edible food in the compost. Growing, packaging, and transporting food all consume resources that go to waste if the food is not eaten.
Are unpopped popcorn kernels a significant source of uneaten food? Debatable.
The proportions of Mace Windu’s forehead and chin stick out as incorrect
I grew up with a Nintendo controller in hand.
There’s a very good reason I now game almost exclusively on PC. None of this is going to convince me to come back. Quite the opposite in fact.
Why would anyone believe any of this attainable for the average person in the best economy? A personal chef? Common, this has to be some right wing satire.
