And that’s exactly why we have flat-earthers, antivaxxers and “truthers” of various kinds. Although, due to the same phenomenon, we also have communities like [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], !HandmadeMarketplace and so many other interesting and quirky places. You win some, you loose some.
The Internet is a pretty big place. There’s no such thing as an idea that is too stupid. There’s always at least a few people who will turn that idea into a central tenet of their life. It could be too stupid for 99.999% of the population, but that still leaves about 5 000 people who are totally into it.
Glad I could help! This command is just so much nicer.
Now you know why it’s called the Disk Destroyer.
Before using dd, I prefer to run lsblk first so that I can see what each disk is called. Before pressing enter, I also double check the names with the lsblk output.
The best thing about R is that it was made by statisticians. The worst thing about R is that it was made by statisticians.
I was just thinking about that post.
What a legend. So, it’s technically possible, but not recommended.
Switched from Fedora to Debian. Here are my reasons:
People should really start demanding more sensible terms. Currently, people just don’t care, and companies are taking full advantage of the situation.
“Some years ago, I provided my phone number to Google as part of an identity verification process, but didn’t consent to it being shared publicly.”
That may have been the case at the time, but Google have a bad habit of updating legal documents and settings from time to time. Even if you didn’t consent to it directly, you may have agreed to a contract you didn’t read, which resulted in Google doing everything permitted in that contract. Chances are, the contract says that Google can legally screw around as much as they like, and you’re powerless to do anything about it.
Based on the numbers from Purism, it could be a lot more than 25% more expensive to manufacture everything in USA. Purims Librem 5 costs 799 $, while the made-in-America version costs 1999 $. That’s roughly a 2.5x difference. Obviously, economies of scale play a role too but let’s assume that the same factor applies to iPhones too. If so, the fanciest iPhone would cost about 4000 $.
This is KSA we’re talking about here. Human rights violations are always part of the deal. You could say it’s the currency they trade in.
Youtube is also trying to be more like TV. Apparently, TV wasn’t bad enough.
Problem solved! I don’t need to think about this premium stuff any more. Recently, I’ve been playing with the idea of paying for premium, but that’s no longer the case. Specifically, the family pack is the one that kinda made some limited sense in the past. I can see the kind of game Google is playing, and I’m not planning to participate.
