but you have the use for the very software you're using daily or medicine developments.

I play D&D from time to time, but saying that roleplaying is more important than medicine is just nuts.

you don't have to pay for a +1000$ device to switch to Linux. In most cases, you can just install it in the same machine you have Windows.

It's more like replacing Samsung's Android ROM with a custom ROM. Sure, you'll have to learn new things to use it, but you don't have to buy an iPhone.

"most people" = "most teens". I don't know any adult that plays competitive multiplayer games other than maybe CSGO.

I'm in mastodon but I wouldn't mind trying Bluesky when there are third party servers.

I'm against driverless cars, but I don't think this type of errors can be detected in a lab environment. It's just impossible to test with every single car model or real world situations that it will find in actual usage.

An optimal solution would be to have a backup driver with every car that keeps an eye on the road in case of software failure. But, of course, this isn't profitable, so they'd rather put lives at risk.

does Windows Server Essentials comes with a desktop GUI? Can you install Steam and things like that like you'd normally do in Windows?

I'm happy with Linux, but my brother who is a gamer has Windows but he's annoyed af by updates and the AI nonsense. This seems like a perfect solution.

rossman is a greedy influencer wannabe that wants to profit from internet injustices, stop being a fanboy.

what if I meet Joe and take a selfie of both of us using my phone? how will people know that my selfie is an authentic Joe Biden?

they should be doing that, otherwise I don't get how they are making any profit with those huge electricity bills. Last time I checked it, with electricity prices it wasn't worth it to mine cryptocurrency.

those days the web was way simpler than it is now. complexity has doomed every web engine not maintained by a mega corp (and some that were, Microsoft killed their own).

that's ironic, because Firefox on iOS is just rebranded Safari, as is every other browser on iOS.

They never cared for privacy, it was all marketing. We should be equally suspicious of Proton and Tutanota.
