Back to TUIs I go.

In the early 2000s, that wasnt particularily lightweight. I believe it came with openoffice and the full gnome desktop. That was not really minimal in any way.

Its pretty simple.

Hydrocarbons + oxygen + ignition releases energy, H20, and CO2.

Energy + CO2 + H20 can synthesize hydrocarbons.

There is plenty of interesting research how to do the latter - but it doesnt change the fact it just reverses a process we currently do by the tanker ship full. Why would anyone do that at scale?

It cant have a large scale application until we basically have free energy from some other source - and at that point, synthetic fuel is probably still a terrible way to store and use energy for pretty much everything except jet airplanes.

I think you might mean “partisan” rather than political. Ethics is always political.

Why should law enfocement and prosecuters get to decide which laws to enforce and which not to, but jurrors cant?

Unless the laws on the books were short and perfect, there is always going to be enforcement choices, and it seems to me the jury nulification option is no worse than other selective enforcement. It lets guilty people go free, sure, but it sometimes stops unjust incarceration.

Then they are either being discussed by your local government to be installes or they already subscribed to one of the equivelant compeditors. This shit is everywhere.

If it weren’t for the overwhelming harm and the insane ramblings of those pushers, we could actually rationally discuss all of the useful things that can be done with it. There are plenty - its a pretty good tool in any engineers toolbox - but there’s no point in itemizing them because the much greater issue is the ai psychosis taking over our entire financial, economic, and governmental systems.

No, its a terms of use for what goes on their servers. Every open source project has that.

You are free to take Forgejo, their open source forge software, and run it on your own computer without any restrictions based on the free software license.

Codeberg runs on and develops Forgejo - a lightweight open source forge anyone can take and run themselves.

When even the LAPD are too embarrassed to be using your shit.

Heck, even paying for full comprehensive insurance, you still come out ahead by buying on a loan and keeping it for more than 3 years.

The crux is that decently priced loans are denied to the people who actually need it, but leases are not.

Has media ever been capable of criticising Apple? They have always been the tech media darling from what I can recall.

When a company says it has a “solution” for the high price, they means they have a “solution” for the big number on the sticker. Not that they actually care about affordability.

The AI companies will die. That is fact. Some will even die quickly when the bubble pops. What cannot continue must stop. The earlier the bubble pops, the less the harm.

Also, resessions are moneymaking for the extremely wealthy. They lose wealth on paper (unrealized), but they are positioned to “buy stock when it is on sale”, not to mention benefit from government stimulus and bailouts. Its all the small time pension investors that get hosed the most.

Poster is a Corvid, not a Parrot. Sarcasm for sure! They are smartiepants.

In 2010, I thought, maybe we’d start using electric cars by now. Instead we are using gas powered computers.

Gas powered computers.

That are unreliable and broken.

While everyone had 56k modems, they laid millions of miles of finer optic cable. That sounds like brute forcing to me. Most of it laid there dark for 20 years.

Wiki’s and Libraries have never been profitable and always existed just outside the capitalists control. Or rather, tolerated. They may get hidden from mainstream view on commercial platforms, but they can’t fully kill them, only drive them underground. Even if they try that, the more people that know about them, the safer they get.
