Yeah and there’s just as many paid for programs with the same issues… What’s your point? Want me to show you some open source programs that are polished? Heard of blender before? That’s not the point I was making anyway… The issue with non foss software is that you have ZERO control over it. Big corporations can decide to drop support at any moment or make a free tier paid.

Young people are less likely to vote than old people, and old people are more likely to be conservative. But even if that wasn’t the case, more people voting is always better for a society.

That’s why open source rules

I like the idea of protecting children from algorithms that make you addicted and lead to doom-scrolling. But you don’t to that by restricting the individual, but by restricting the corporations.

Stop down voting him, he’s right. Earth day is on April 22, so we would need to shrink earths population to a third in order to make our current way of living sustainable… (Shrink the rich first)

Least stupid car brain

Show me one home that is wired with cat8 cables lol. Then I’m going to show you the millions of homes that have an isp provided wifi 6 router.

So you agree that wired is not always faster… It depends on the hardware you’re using. And most consumer grade hardware you can buy today has faster wireless speeds than wired.

You might wanna get a “cable card”. It would replace all of the usb stuff. https://a.co/d/drH95uk Can highly recommend, I always have it in my backpack

Wired is not always faster. I have a WiFi 6 router at home that (only) has gigabit ports, and wireless speeds are often faster than wired. WiFi 6 is quite common in consumer electronics, but 2.5gbit is not.

I hate how they cut off the graph…

I wasn’t referring to that, I’m aware of the inverse square law.

I guess I miss interpreted your previous comment for pro-gun, my bad.

You are a bit delulu hmmm?

You’re not completely wrong. But (1) guns make it sooo much easier to cause a lot of harm, and (2) a gun gives you so much more confidence than a knife. Also: you can run from a knife, you can’t run from a gun

Huh, that makes a lot of sense actually. Thanks for correcting!

Why?

500$ for a Windows license just to have it not have bloat preinstalled? Hmm pass XD

I often hear people saying “But where does the electricity for the EV come from? Driving an EV is not better than driving a diesel.”

They have to realize that the thiny ICE in your car is optimised for weight, and has an efficiency of 30-35%. So about ⅔ of the fossil fuel is turned into heat and blown out of the exhaust. Compare that to the turbine in a coal or gas plant, which can archive up to 90% efficiency.

And don’t forget that an EV is an investment, which will likely still be on the road in 20 years time. The electricity mix at the moment is still rather fossil fuel heavy, but this will change completely within the next 10 years.

Edit: not 90% but 40% efficiency. See comments below

What I’m hearing is that people have an inert desire for privacy, EVEN if they don’t have anything to hide (what are you hiding in the toilet?) I don’t see why that wouldn’t extend into the digital realm…

Everytime someone says they don’t have anything to hide I ask them what the pin of their phone is and to give me their phone. Suddenly that’s something different…
