Depends on how you measure and what

I think you can ask duck for sources or links each time you want them, but it would make some sense for a search engine in particular to give the links in any case.

Brave is a series scam company.

Still claiming WA messages are e2ee? The MITM is even paraphrasing the content back to you.

I think that “mental illness” kind of comments would come from people whose attitude for safety in many aspects of life is “that’s never going to happen (to me)”. Those people exist, so sooner or later you’ll see comments like that.

On the other hand everybody is trying to find a balance in convenience and safety and the situations and environments and life on general for one person can be quite different from that of some others’. So what’s adequate for one won’t be for another.

It’s like PPE or personal finance or many other things. There’s no one size that fits all and finding the right fit isn’t easy. For a lot of us it’s work in progress. Sometimes you know what’s definitely needed and tweak the details. Sometimes you know something is not going well and needs to change.

Maybe it’s enough to say that it’s complicated and have some compassion and support for people that think it isn’t. Or people that think it’s all too much to handle.

A city that’s barely a hundred years old isn’t really relevant when talking about history of the human race predating the invention of bottles.

Earliest glass bottles are thought to be from 1500 BC according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_bottle. Even plastic bottles might be twice as old as Vegas according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_plastic_development but that depends on definition of plastic.

Chrome extension.

Probably the slowest I’ve used was a 25 MHz(?) sparcstation 1, 500 MB drive, 16 MB RAM. Or some 90’s arm box. Netwinder? iPAQ?

It’s kind of terrible how huge even tiny distributions are these days. But these days there’s cheap low power draw hardware and big storage available that works great and that’s nice. I don’t miss the bad old times.

That’s almost always false unless the hardware is faster and thus more power hungry and hot than your CPU. That’s rarely true. Some fpga accelerator? Maybe. GPU/TPU? Sure. Your hard drive? Not a chance that it would have even remotely competitive processor.

The point of hardware acceleration is usually that your CPU doesn’t need to do a task so there’s less CPU load and it can spend that time running applications or respond faster.

There was definitely an illusion.

Well, Microsoft will soon make it a requirement so they get more data and kickbacks.

Or Bazzite. Apart from the xboxness, the hardware isn’t half bad in many of these devices. Windows just makes them completely unusable. Which means there’s quite a few on the used market.

It’s not even complicated. War is not uplifting. Fascism is not uplifting. Pollution is not uplifting. Murder is not uplifting. Famine is not uplifting. Bigotry is not uplifting. Genocide in particular is not uplifting. Not even if the numbers are down a bit (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/orphan-crushing_machine etc).

Politics can be. Just read the headline and article/ingress and ask yourself if it’s news and if it’s about uplifting things or depressing/angering things. Only post if it’s uplifting and news.

Imo the comments should also be very aggressively (heh) kept to that same standard if the c is even pretending to actually be uplifting.

Thanks, I’m cured.

Has been for a good while. It’s looking like there’s no moderation happening, so it’s probably better to block it.

Which is a shame, because actual uplifting news c would be desperately needed.

It’s not uplifting. Almost nothing in this c is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_brigade is a common term for these, I think.

It doesn’t. This c is just a politics horn these days.
