Was it really though?

Are you in the Netherlands?

Governments can innovate, and indeed can do so more efficiently than corporations, since they do not need profits.

I assume you’re reading this on the Internet, if you need an example.

I thought that it came from people buying cars from Japan and then modifying them both for more horsepower and to look cool?

This community seems to think that bad things happening to bad people is uplifting, or that justice is uplifting. It doesn’t feel that way to me though.

Hm. They also plan on dropping support for 90% of existing RISC-V systems.

Space opera, specifically.

Why does the absolute number matter? Why does the rate matter?

The claim is that cars and guns are equally deadly in Chicago, with the observation that gun deaths are reported more.

If this is 3 people or 30 thousand people, the critique is the same.

If this is 1 in 10 million people or 1 in 10 people, the critique is the same.

While I’m sure that some are just cosplaying as Christians, i have no doubt that there are true believers there. I mean, RFK doesn’t believe in germ fucking theory, so we know that being crazy is no hindrance from getting power. Is it really so hard to believe that Americans elected Congressmen who believe the earth is 6000 years old?

I stopped shopping at Best Buy in the 1990s when one store asked me to leave. I was writing down some prices so I could do some comparison shopping.

Good episode for sure. Well… most 99% Invisible episodes are good!

When IBM senior management was asked by a staff member for data supporting their RTO policy one of the managers literally said, “I’ve managed teams before. I don’t need data.”

I just use restic.

I’m pretty sure it uses checksums to verify data on the backup target, so it doesn’t need to copy all of the data there.

Yeah I did the same. Pity!

Yes I literally have to pay when I produce more than I use, like every day in April.

I looked into batteries, but they cost 10 times my annual power bill, and of course they wouldn’t replace all electricity, so would take like 20 years to be cost neutral.

I’m considering buying a high power laser and turning it on to consume extra electricity. I’d rather send photons back into space than pay the power delivery company.

You can consider using Armbian x64, which is very similar to Ubuntu minus Snap.

It’s also possible that the military had been using such a device for decades and it was actually prior art that invalidated the patent, but this was lost in the retelling. 🤔

BSD is freer for programmers (or frequently their corporate overlords), but not for people using the software.

$1 $2 per month is expensive? 🤣

[edit: I can’t do simple math]

The claim was “Email server owners don’t look at the content”. This is untrue since possibly the largest owner of email servers looks at the content to monetize the service. That’s all.
