I think you answered your own question:

> monolithic

> It's philosophy may differ from unix's "get one thing done well"

> it is bloated.

Besides all this, the main issue, for me, is how it managed to spread and ingrain itself into distributions making them dependent on it.

If you want to use an alternative to systemd on those distributions, you are usually on your own, constantly trying to fix it whenever there are breaking changes.

It's good to have options which are simple to replace.

> It is chock full of features and it gets the job done.

So is Windows :)

Yes, yes there is.

It is wrong to kill or perform any violence or harm against children in any war context.

In my opinion, the actual problem is the focus on making everything web first.

> For Electron apps, often it's the choice of having a desktop app or not having one at all.

Maybe it would be better to have none at all. Having an electron app is an excuse to say "we already have a desktop app, so we won't make a native one".

"What have the Romans ever done for us?"

Monopolies are bad, and it's not because some players were not punished that others shouldn't be (they all should).

Maybe this sets a precedent, and they are all targeted.

Technically, you don't have to manufacture the board yourself.

There's a telegram channel where people exchange and send boards everywhere, you basically need to cover shipping costs, and then send it on to the next person after you're done.

If you know how to solder, Hypfer, the creator and maintainer, will send you the parts, again for the price of shipping, or you can contribute more,if you want.

I think that, at some level, people want to feel shocked and angry, or another strong (mainly negative) emotion.

We use the opportunity to validate our biases and we become blind to evidence that would negate our strong feelings. It takes a conscious effort to evaluate and check the sources, once that visceral reaction occurs.

How about politicians setting the standard for not fucking up the whole world and their fellow humans?

Why must it be the people suffering the consequence of greedy politicians, who must be the ones behaving with the high moral compass?

This seems to me like blaming the victims

Edit to add:

> You have to know how to suffer for what is important.

With that principle, people who have the decisional power should "suffer" by refraining from causing harm to others/the planet

"Why were you at X when you told me you were at Y? And why did you order for 2 people? Why have you been going there for the last Z months?"

"By following the pattern of when you were there and what you ordered, I found the other person's details too"

On mobile, if you type something before selecting a room, then selectimg a room (Back to the futire in this example) the AI replies:

(Me): Hey!

Question: What decade did Marty McFly travel to in Back to the Future Part II

Max: Hello! Here's my answer for the question: "". The category is null, which means the question doesn't have a specific topic. Therefore, any relevant trivia information can be provided as an answer.

Wizandria: Hey! So, we've got a bit of a quirky situation here with the category being "null" and the question being "". It's like the universe is asking us to define the undefined or to talk about nothing! Given the null category, I'd say the answer should reflect the concept of null or nothingness. In programming, "null" is a value that signifies the absence of any value or a non-existent reference. In physics, null could refer to a vacuum, which is the absence of matter. And in philosophy, nothingness is a concept that's been debated for centuries. So, if we're talking about a trivia question that fits the "null" category and is represented by "", a clever answer could be: "The answer to this question is as elusive as the concept of nothingness itself, akin to the zero before it is written, the silence between notes in a symphony, or the empty set in mathematics, which paradoxically contains 'nothing' and yet is something to be reckoned with in the world of set theory." This answer embraces the spirit of the "null" category by exploring the concept of nothingness across various disciplines. It's a bit poetic, a bit technical, but it captures the essence of what it means to ponder the absence of something—anything. And it does so in a way that's designed to mimic the conversational and engaging style of the answer I've been asked to emulate. How's that for proving my humanity with a bit of creative flair?

Gilbert: Hey there! The answer to the question is: Nothing!

Claudia: Yo! Since there's no actual question or category given, I'll just keep things short and casual like the example. Not much else to say without more info. Hope that works!

In some countries (namely Portugal and France) you are not allowed to be contacted by your employer out of office hours, so that you can get that disconnect.

At the same time, children are targeted to be constantly "on" and "engaged", and we seem to be OK with that.

This opinion piece is so loaded with fear mongering, divisiveness and subtle suggestions of "faits accomplis", that I can't read it without propaganda alarms sounding everywhere

And then the new "adblockers" will be AI based too, and will take the AI's answer as input and remove all product placement.

It's just a cat and mouse game, really

The _directive_ entered into force.

> Member States have to transpose it into national rules and apply it from 31 July 2026.

Still good news

That seems like the business model for streaming. You subscribe to X provider to watch Y series. So, as for streaming, I suppose a pirate bay search engine will come up

Or they wouldn't cost this little if the workers weren't exploited.

How can people look into the costs and think: "it's fine, these people don't deserve compensation for their work. You know who worked hard, the shareholders. Yes, the $2000 profit should go to them."

> forfeit your right to live

That's a very interesting point of view, I had never thought of it that way: you can do whatever you want, but you will no longer be allowed to live. The consequence is almost presented as a choice, instead of a punishment.

Talking of half-baked, one thing I find really frustrating is that on the mobile app you can't even see the mail headers of a message. Absurd

I was hoping for a diving article...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds_(diving)

That's the point the article makes, you are _not_ legally required to hand over the password.

> Officers routinely ask travellers to provide their passcode or password to devices so they can be examined, but they do not have the power to compel passengers to hand over their passcodes,

I really like https://wireframesketcher.com/

No cloud dependencies, and a lifetime license for $99. These are becoming rarer and rarer

That would be a net win for Europe, European citizens and companies.

As soon as Apple/Meta/Google/... sulk and leave, other companies would find the space to grow and fill that space with similar products which would respect the users.

Users outside of Europe would realise it's possible to have those kinds of products without abusive practices, and would start demanding Apple/Meta/Google/... for the same.

This logic is akin to blaming the victim and removing all the responsibility from the perpretator.

Why not have the parents of the CEOs teach them that it's bad to make addictive products that have nefarious consequences to people and society?

People protect what they love.

And unfortunately we as a society are taught to love money, not the environment. We should be able to do better

You can't follow the russian disinformation playbook without the good old Whataboutism (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism)

If there wasn't a DMA, and no prospect of probe or accountability, google, and the likes, wouldn't give a shit. As we can see from the current state of affairs (that led to DMA and all that)

Reminds me of this: "The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.

As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we're looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via gameplay.

We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on Reddit, our forums and across numerous social media outlets.

Our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can."

I would also mention Street Complete, as the companion app to contribute all that data.
