Just use a browser instead of some silly client, problem mostly solved. Use X11 or Wayland or whatever else you want, for God's sake. I don't remember any god ever claiming salvation lies in abandoning the most functional display

I assume the difference here is that the newish VW is all-risk covered (theft, damage to own car, etc) while the Mazda is covered for liability only and that it would be possible to insure the newer car for liability only for about the same

They may just not have noticed it. Are there other brands shown in that way in the same game? That would probably also make it a less of an issue.

IKEA is the only furniture store with a four-letter name in that same typeface in yellow on a blue building even though it is called 'STYR' here. It is the only furniture store using that uniform, also blue-yellow, for its personn

They should call it "Bagaget" which translates to "The Luggage" and put lots of small feet under it. Those who read Discworld will know what I'm talking about.

I cannot help but notice that you did not answer my question. What about is? Also it isn't me who refers to ${whatever} as the next generation of woke , it is implied by those who refer to the past madness as woke 1.0 . Where there i

Does that include those like the mentioned politica who espouses the virtues of the next iteration of 'woke' because the first version was craaaazy ? If so I do applaud you, it is indeed and best left to the historians for dissec

"Overeducated" is a tongue-in-cheek reference to your claim that those who disagree with your desired narrative are 'undereducated'. Well, if those people are 'undereducated' it must be that you yourself are &#

We're talking politics here so that bit about 'claiming to understand everything from politics' is misplaced. Call it what you want, everything needs to be turned into a meme after all. I call it 'observations' and

Let's adapt your own prose to your statement: maybe you claim this because you are "native", and yet at the bottom of the intellectual scale because you are overeducated, who decided his only joy in life is to punch what you

If you insist on believing the story she told of that being said by 'a political friend', sure. Did you listen to the interview she gave? I did. It sounded very much like the 'politician friend' was made up from thin ai

A rose by any other name etc. The moniker may change once every few years - even A. Occasional Cortex recently agreed that 'Woke 1.0 was craaaazy' [1] - but the beast never loses its stripes. Maybe the next term will be 'Woke

OK, down-voter, be a man and tell me where you think I went wrong in my reasoning about the chances DSA-communists have in gaining a foothold or the danger of fascism gaining ground. Stop knee-jerking that down-vote button, tell us what y

You must have been living under a comfy rock the last few years since there are several communists - real ones, by their own say - in the running for positions in the "democratic" party. The coming elections will show whether they

Then so do emulators, flash drives instead of 1541's, etc. Nobody forces you to use generative models to get older hardware to do its thing, you're still free to try to get the actual hardware to run, free to build interfaces to g

I'd say that the outcome mostly depends on whether something resembling AGI is achieved since that would more or less inevitably end up leading to something resembling ASI ('super-intelligence') which in turn makes it questio

It is quite simple, really. You stated that a group like 'Palestine Action' being designated as a terrorist group only causes a stir because of the fact that they claim to act in support of 'Palestine' and that had this
