It’s a bit more complex than that. The straight forks are fine for now, but the real concern would be if Gecko gets changed significantly.

Floorp is good

The panels all come from two producers (really just one for the very good ones). So, pick whoever you can get the best deal on for your needed featureset and never connect it to the internet.

They’d have to exclude sanctioned VPN traffic, or the entire financial system doesn’t work at all.

Dude read the Culture series, took all the wrong lessons from it and is speedrunning that horrible vision for a sorcery in his own mind.

PC running OPNsense and a Ruckus AP.

Several dictionary words in series cannot be “easily brute forced.”

You’re out of you’re depth and saying stupid things.

Not at all. It will lead to easier to type passwords, likely. But that doesn’t mean shorter. This could easily be filled with passwords that are four words long with special characters interspersed.

Did the IT team at West Virginia University block Lemmy?

Sure, but it’s an additional 70 miles. Not something that would go unnoticed.

Plenty of chemical syntheses are patented. Biological catalysts and precursors are patented every day. No one owns the rights to orbital calculations, because that would be like patenting the concept of a square root — it’s not novel or even complex within the field.

Maybe some tech has increased efficiency (although, when it does that increase is more often than not temporary and short lived), but there is even more “tech” that swarms that space rent seeking any time, money, or other resource saved by that increased efficiency. After the efficiencies degrade, the tech-as-a-scam persists and you end up with less efficient systems than you started with.

For the past 20 years, tech has promised to make things more efficient while making almost everything more complicated and less meaningful. Innovation, for innovation’s sake, has eroded our craftsmanship, relationships, and ability to think critically.

I feel this in my bones.

BULLSHIT

No one has hard bricked a device, you can always flash MacOS back with a tool. Any issues installing are years old. OFC it’s a work in progress, so is all of Linux even RHEL. It is 100% ready to daily drive and many people do.

Asahi is not at all “alpha” and I’d hesitate to describe even parts of it on the first and second generation Apple silicon as “beta.” Its daily driver levels of stability and I’m constantly impressed by it.

European road safety regulations are significantly weaker than those in the US and Canada.

Yeah, I had a recommendation to install the TikTok app in my Start Menu. It’s what moved me to Linux once and for all.

This is less than some of the more feature-rich Garmin watches. That said, Garmin’s offerings are best-in-class, so they can justify it.

There is a longer history of dispute over this territory. Every time it has come up or been put forward for international determination, Guyana wins. However, I think that the added context does provide valuable background.
