Because the government then by default has a monopoly on everything. The worst of the worst. It doesn't matter who the people with the monopoly are, it matters that there is a mono…

That's where legislation is supposed to step in to prevent monopolization, which currently is not happening sufficiently. The alternative is the government owning everything from t…

It's worth repeating, since so many people have different ideas about what capitalism is, but it's only having the means of production (factories, tools, employees, etc.) in privat…

From the article: > When you press it for the first time, it toggles to the opposite of what you’re currently seeing, and stores the literal value (light or dark). The next time yo…

I agree, but as long as the site follows my system settings I won't be needing a toggle at all. But I guess it should be there anyway.

I never was medicated for anything, yet I still couldn't ever bring myself to care for "rewards". But then the "rewards" in childhood were kinda pointless. Like a good grade. Can't…

Last I checked, systemd already has age verification built in and most of Linux uses systemd.

If you find a counterfeit bill, you experience a loss. Imagine if instead of a counterfeit bill you got a counterfeit movie. The quality is exactly like the real deal, but it's an …

AI art is kinda like CGI. If you can tell, it usually means that it's bad. If you can't it doesn't matter.

The point of the OP in this case wasn't code that compiles, but code that does what the customer wants. If the customer orders an email client but really wants a chat application, …

Can't say that I agree with the premise. It's not AI that has people feeling that their jobs are pointless. If your job isn't directly contributing to make the world a better place…

I would use them to solve captchas if that was a thing.

Notice how none of that is a cumbersome user experience. I put a badge on my person and maybe have someone walk beside me and that's it. I notably do not have to unlock the same do…

Renewables are great, but they cannot sustain current power needs alone. Both solar and wind also have the problem that they cannot generate power 24/7. So at times where they are …

The thing we have called "democracy" for the past three hundred or so years is basically just shadow government by whoever has the deepest pockets to influence public opinion with …

Certificates seemed promising there for a while. I also don't mind hardware keys/cards, but when you have to first enter your password, then your pin for your hardware key and then…

I don't know about George Foreman-style. So far I only have experience with the GC750D16. And yes, it makes a great steak. Takes about five minutes, give or take.

A bit ironic that I found out about this through this website first despite also having received a mail from Framework about the issue. Still not sure what to do with this informat…

Since the invention of the optigrill you can get great steaks in your home. Automatically. Those existing make the comparison a bit silly. Though, given how those seem to be somewh…

Maybe that is why so many things live in Excel instead of a proper database. Security at the expense of convenience does come at the expense of security, after all. Not sure why pa…
