You know that what you said is pure speculation based on personal experience, random publications, ideology or mainstream and social media, which is the only way you can reach that conclusion, unless you have peer-review publications with the statistics of worldwide usage. If you lived in Africa you would say that Bitcoin is godsend, as you can hear it from many africans

Faulty generalization That some scammers or greedy people in rich countries are promoting it like a ponzi scheme to benefit themselves doesn’t mean every person use it in the same way. Some people use it for its savings in a highly devaluating currency (my use case), others for money laundering, or to send money to Palestine, or to flee a collapsing country because of war and avoiding their money being seized by the policy at the borders, for ransomware, or creating circular economies in poor countries, to donate to human rights activists in dictatorships, to buy drugs, etc, etc these are just some of the dozens of verified uses cases. That’s what happens when a technology is free and permissionless, it’s not good or bad by itself, it’s as good or as bad as the person that uses it. AI is being used to scam people and to detect cancer more precisely than the best experts. That’s and inherent feature of free software. Lemmy is a perfect example, would you promote not using it because there is an instance used for child porn?

Your toxic partner: “What were you doing at that cafe at 5:42 PM”

The carrier can track a phone without sim card but it’s not the case if you turn on airplane mode. The whole point of airplane mode is to prevent the phone from emitting any signal to avoid interference with critical aircraft instruments. I don’t see any company risking to circumvent such a critical security feature, it would be easily verifiable.

I’ve been using Debian with KDE Plasma for over a decade and I can count the crashes with the fingers of one hand.

Imagine having that great idea and carefully crafting the edition of the book for that to happen. Or may be just unscrupulously fill up the book with white pages with the sentence “this page is intentionally left blank (see page 269)”

I ended up buying an ASUS BT400, it works out of the box in Linux. I found it here

Searching “github download webpage video” gives this and more results to try.

Here is how you can run the 671B model without using graphic cards for about $6.000. Here is the post on X.

Here you have all the packages you can install for specific purposes grouped by categories

“If a word it’s regularly used by a certain amount of people…”

Honestly I was expecting far more downvotes. I posted the video with people like you in mind, who still can think critically without the burden of misinformation and ideology.

Besides the solution proposed, the video excels at explaning how we reached the current mess in the economy.

It’s about time it’s also the title of one of the best introductory books on relativity by David Mermin. Specially for those who aren’t good at math but want to understand it beyond popular science books.

Yes, It is MRI… Man Roughly Incinerated.
