Kudos, that’s an even better metaphor.

Yeah, because those devices have age-inappropriate content already pre-installed amirite???

Honestly though, how the fuck do they keep justifying the mental gymnastics behind this, from a judicial standpoint? If you were to never set a foot on the internet after buying the device, there’s no need for age verification; and even if you do, as long as you don’t visit any site that hosts inappropriate content, it still doesn’t warrant an age verification.

It’s up to the content platform to ensure that no child visits inappropriate content. Think about it: a store IDs a person when they try to buy alc/tobacco, NOT when they just enter the store.

I can’t believe this passes legislation just like that.

Imagine playing Connect 4, or any game for that matter, against him; halfway through the game he’d yell “STOP THE STEAL!!!”

but I’m glad it exists as it means software/OS will have to support 8gb ram for years to come

Electron/JS/TS would like to have a word with you

Would’ve been great tech if they didn’t place fucking cameras into it

“Yeah because after WWII there was peace!!!1”

Technically, after the war is before the war.

BD-Rs for cold storage, they are cheaper than HDDs/SSDs and offer a fast solution to clear up space from existing hot storage without actually getting rid of the data. USB sticks are not suitable for archival, they degrade very soon.

USB sticks don’t last as long

“You’re absolutely right! That was a children’s hospital, not a military base. Let’s try that again!”

Sorry, but I just can’t unsee it

is a program that allows other programs (e.g., GNU utilities) to talk to a computer system’s hardware.

Therefore, linux could be considered a collection of algorithms

By that logic, Linux is also a web browser or a video game, which it isn’t

Linux isn’t an algorithm though

100% sleep paralysis demon material

Wow, a brain made of butter

This is just invoking a command, it’s basically the same as double-clicking a .exe in Windows, just without a mouse. There’s no need to “learn coding” to do this. Coding involves complex logic; this doesn’t.

The biggest put off to Linux is the absolute shit community it has

Have you ever given it a shot? Most Linux users I’ve encountered are very friendly. Yes, there are some boards (like Arch forums) where people get pissy at noobs; however Arch isn’t a noob-friendly distro, in contrast to Mint/openSUSE etc.

Attitude matters as well; if you start off by shitting on stuff you have limited knowledge of, you won’t get a friendly response.

You call that “learning code”? What are you, an AI tech bro?
