A little bit. If I offer too specific expert knowledge I could be doxxing myself, so I make a version that sounds like I just picked it out from the top search engine result, but works well enough as an answer.

It’s non-free, it’s non-libre, but it does pass the bar of open source software. The OSI, EFF, RMS or whoever don’t have to say it is in order for it to be true.

You can distribute it but there are limitations on it, you can make a fork of Grayjay that is free to use, review, re-distribute and add parts to it adhering to other open source licenses from whence they were developed as long as it’s non-commercial, and doesn’t make any representations on behalf of FUTO or Rossman, essentially.

Whew! All clear, it’s a meme. Pack it up, people.👮‍♂️👮‍♀️

Many payment providers would want websites to implement CAPTCHA for blocking spam and fraud attempts.

I’m sorry, but you’re just going to have to walk to a store and pay in cash if you don’t want to have any data tracking done at all. Online you’ll often have to pick one or the other: data tracking, or flimsy security/data protection. The phone solution is appropriate in my humble opinion, but you’re welcome to hold your own views on your principles. If you’re hard set against a company tracking ANYBODY via 3rd parties to that level, then I bet you will be very hard-pressed to ever find a computer through an online marketplace from ANY company that will fit that bill perfectly and suits your other needs.

Have a 2 hour phone chat (with spouse?)

Buy a note book and write a diary to remind yourself of everything that has happened in the last year.

There’s !music@beehaw.org where you could ask.

I once opened a glass bottle of soda with my teeth, having nothing else around. It worked but it wasn’t worth it.

Same here. The limey taste of hops makes the beer for me, when I get a lighter beer I’m more often than not left disappointed, like I’m drinking bubbly water that’s been sitting in a pipe for 25 years. Craft IPAs on the other hand range from “meh it’s alright” to “this is amazing”.

Elon is the master of baiting.

I’m still using a Samsung S7 (but only for a few months more now, it needs upgrading), and it surprised me that most flagships have removed good features!

I knew about no physical nav buttons and the headphone jack, but why the SD card slot? Come on!

Ideally it would help put real, complicated but achievable solutions forward to some of the world’s toughest issues, like poverty, hunger, war and disaster,. AI is but a tool and in the current trajectory, much of its use is to advance the interest of capitalist moguls. In order to heed answers of improved AI models to achieve ideals of a harmonious world, we need to start with a change with our society to work towards it and accept change away from purely monetary ends.

The real robot wars will be the Scam Call AI vs. the Scam Call Answering AI.

It will be like a new version of chess: Bobby Phisher vs. Magnus Callusthen

Since the correct mathematical answer isn’t one of the options, the people picking the other options are representing a real resistance to the order of mathematical logic that binds us.

The real answer is 14 because I’m 14 and this is deep.

Money, it’s a crime. Share it fairly but don’t take a slice of my pie.

I gotta put a Faraday cage around my next car if it’s going to try to connect to the internet.

Yeah, to sum up my experience as a Linux and Ubuntu user for 10 years in 2 short sentences:

With Windows I’m fighting against my computer and Microsoft’s bullshittery.

With Linux I’m fighting against my own incompetence.

In my experience, if you let a hate group co-opt a term or euphemism, it emboldens them in that usage.

For example, “Oh you did the OK symbol 👌? That’s a white supremacy symbol.” No it isn’t, in most contexts it means OK and in some cultures it represents a butthole.

So by using “master race” for a trivial and humorous concept that a person’s choice of OS makes them superior to others, it belittles its xenophobic usage. A person’s race or skin colour is (or should be) just as irrelevant as OS choice when it comes to their place in society.

You’re doing your best and that’s OK!

Much nicer than StackExchange too:
