How long will it take to convince them that it is worth it to get into long-running relationships with the US. How long before another populist is elected who will rip up agreements for weird reasons and you have to renegotiate them?

Why does everyone assume that we're the ones keeping money under the mattress, not the ones who would have been paid by money otherwise not spent? All transactions have two sides, no?

If said copy paste behavior allows any app to snoop on any other apps' clipboard content without control, then it's been broken for decades.

It isn't though. For example, the very article we are discussing.

I.e. spend more money to do things the TV can perfectly well do. We should make the spying illegal so we can use the devices we buy to their full potential without being sold to advertisers. "Give money to this other company that may or may not also be collecting data and may also sell you out in the future" is a suboptimal solution.

This probably includes little silly games like Candy Crush, and (maybe) others that seem more like "paper" games like Sudoku, Wordle, Connections, etc. Many play those, especially the second bucket.

50K without a proper CPU, mind.

My only beef with Jellyfind when I used it some time back was inability to resize subtitles, which were huge on a large TV. Could have been lack of knowledge on my part though.

You talk about it as if it's little cliques of students talking about each other in a cafeteria. It's not. It's a giant economy with a giant military that affects everyone's wellbeing.

Get a surrogate maybe? Should tick many of the boxes you have listed.

Those others have far fewer externalities than burning diesel to move heavy trucks.

The hope is in a few more years, we'll not have a cult hell bent on accelerating the apocalypse in charge of the largest economy in the world, or are you guys planning something different?

Even xfce will one day move to Wayland.

A team of outsiders got carte blanche to find and kill waste in your government. How much did they find?

What's stopping the native companies from making EVs?

You are probably never starting from zero on workdays, are you?

What brands would you think younger people consider a luxury brand? They do make smaller and sportier cars, but 5-series and up, X5 and up, those seem firmly in the luxury car category to me.

People usually say "this tv show wouldn't be made today", and it is usually wrong. But this, this would never be assented to by many countries in today's global political climate.

I really don't understand what everyone does that gets in their way on Linux desktop. I install Debian and the packages I use, I open Gnome, I open the software I'm using, I do my work.

What should you read instead?

That's just the label that changed. Same people, same values.

You are describing empathy, a human experience.

How is solar any of those things?

You shouldn't give them more tools to terrorize the populace though.

It is a legal fiction invented by corporations to pass the blame onto you when criminals convinces the companies to give them money in your name.

No it's like saying scissors poke so don't use them to hold up an inflated balloon.

that's the point.

> they just offer them products and ecosystem and most people are dumb enough to ruin their life with it.

Also an argument for El Chapo and friends (if we didn't criminalize their products and add the violence around the trade, see Alcohol and Tobacco).

> - but I hate them too.

Why do you hate them if you don't think they are bad?

You seem to be saying, "it's not illegal; I will hate it, but it is not bad". What is "illegal" is an arbitrary classification that different countries choose. That's the point of what the unnamed politician (it's AoC I think?) is saying: those things should be illegal.

What power source isn't?

I installed the drivers according https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers. Yet every time a new kernel is released (note that this is new, new kernels, e.g. at the moment I am using 7.0.10, just one point release off the current tippy tip 7.0.11), whether or not Nvidia drivers would work after boot was a crapshoot. Maybe it's better now, seeing as they are trying to open source some part of the drivers, I guess. It got so troublesome at the time that I just got a 7800XT to replace my old 2070. Never had the issue again.
