    I would expect the actual restrictions to be 10, maybe 15 years into the future. After all, this is a long term plan how to make world worse, not a spontaneous idea. Will people no…

    Sure, I could. But it is more complex. And my (probably wrong) opinion is that at the point where you can inject environment variables, the game is pretty much over anyway (you can…

    Yellow is not a color? I always assumed that Asians are included in PoC.

    But that is what should happen. The build should break. So that someone can fix it.

    Dunno, maybe? I personally am reasonably happy with my new ryzen-based thinkpad. If nothing else, the macbook has so little ports and everything needs an adapter.

    I guess that depends on what your goal with hand writing is. My handwriting is horrible too (no idea if to your degree), it's basically my personal cipher by now. My wife can read …

    Hm, I do not see any definition of "blockchain technologies" in the new ToS. Will that be added? My understanding of "blockchain" is that for example git could be described as a ap…
