How can people, "experts" even, work on shit like this with a good conscience? Even if they earn millions, they are still undressing all of us including their own families!
I refuse to believe they don't know, but why don't they care?
If they keep shelling a nuclear power plant, then it damn well won't be a nuclear ACCIDENT.
I'm sure they meant "in the end" and not "it's about time".
It's nearly 500 000 now. Insane.
Looks like nobody pointed out the obvious here:
Domains cost around 10-20$€£ per year. That amount is rent, paid to the registrar.
If you find a domain that costs more than that, then you are not dealing with a registrar. You are dealing with a domain squatter that owns the usage rights to that domain name, and the price is what they demand to transfer that right to you.
If you're stupid enough to pay that, you'll still need to pay the actual fee to the registrar when the next billing period starts.
AI, Twatter, Tesla - there's hardly anything else in this community... :(
Poland gonna Poland.
Or, as they say in Germany: "Take a vacation in Poland. Your car is already there."
Yes, that's me. I have no interest in a nerdy deep-dive into esoteric distros that may be "better" according to whatever metric you suggest. To me, it's just a machine that needs to work.
With Windows, getting help when things break is easy. For a non-nerd USER, it has to be the same for Linux. Ubuntu was intended from the start to be made for people like me, and with AskUbuntu there's a large support site.
I know you can tweak your distro better, and it's faster, and so on. But it requires knowledge that I don't care to learn - just as I am not an auto mechanic, I just drive the machine.
If only people cared. Sadly, they don't.

It's like an outdoor Roomba. Very common in Europe, nothing special at all.
Prove me wrong, please?
edit: thanks for all the great comments, this is really helpful. My main take-away is that it does work, but requires dry air. In humid conditions it doesn't really do anything.
Spouse bought this thing that claims to cool the air by blowing across some moist pads. It's about as large as a toaster, and it has a small water tank on the side. The water drips onto the bottom of the device, where it is soaked up by a sort of filter. A fan blows air through the filter.
By my reckoning, the only way to cool a ROOM is to transport the heat outside. This does not do that.
We can cool OURSELVES by letting a regular fan blow on us = WE are the moist filter, and the evaporation of our sweat cools us. One could argue that the slightly more humid air from this device has a better heat transfer capacity than drier air, but still, it is easier to sweat away heat in dry air than in humid air.
Am I crazy? I welcome your judgment!
I don't think you can get around that. What I do is that if the site requires a registration, or has a full-screen cookie banner, then I just close that tab. End of story.
If I can't view it easily, then I will just not view it.
It has been THE viteo platform for literally decades. There is so much content there; it would be a tremendous effort to direct that elsewhere.
And that other site would quickly succumb to storage and bandwidth costs. What options could exist?
