When you design an OS to pretend there's no such thing as a file, it ends up being bad at handling files.

Things cost stuff.

Except Bio-Dome, that's free. Basic economics says that price approaches marginal cost of production.

The Kia Niro is pretty close, although if you're really serious about making it dumb you'll need to pull the cellular modem. It doesn't depend on any internet services, but it does connect to the internet to get nearby charger data.

Or you know. Lemmy!!

Until Canada tries to enforce this law against Lemmy instances.

The issue isn't whether the "company cares".

It's whether they end users fix your own problems, or force you into techno-feudalism where the only way to get a problem fixed is to hope the company cares enough to fix it for you.

The simplest example of Nvidia completely failing here is old hardware support. AMD cards doesn't have that problem because the drivers are open source and upstream. These new Nvidia drivers don't sound like they'll help - they're not maintainable and therefore not upstreamable.

It's worth actually doing the comparisons to see whether car-centric living is a net positive or negative in practice in particular situations. Urban density should be a pure benefit, with economies of scale making everything cheaper. Unfortunately, cities in practice have some downsides that reduce that benefit. One major one is that centralizing services means that it's more useful to try to get a cut of the cash flowing through the institution, and so some of the gains get siphoned off. As a trivial example, exactly zero percent of car commute expenses go to a bus driver's union.

Is there some reason that wall won't work fine?

What other established constitutional rights would you support large institutions not respecting as long as they aren't directly run by the state?

We're literally talking about Meta here. The claim that their actions are those of an independent private company are about as credible as if Lockheed Martin were forcibly quartering soldiers (err... private military contractors) in people's homes and claiming that wasn't a violation of the 3rd amendment.

The other side of that is worth considering too. Being 46 with a 23 year old would be great.

Yes, posts you make to public forums are public.

Obviously. What sort of moron wouldn't be prepared to defend themselves from angry bees or whatever Pooh was afraid of.

If you figure out how to do something in the terminal, you've got an 80% chance of that technique still working in a decade. If you learn how to do it in the GUI, your chances in a decade are more like 10%.
