Snaps filled up my root directory with all their ridiculous and mandatory backups. I had to get rid of them. Flatpaks are alright, but nothing beats native packages.

I think they plan on making it ship with windows by default at some point, so perhaps it’ll be in future versions of Windows Server and you won’t have to add it.

If I ever need to switch to the root user, I usually type su, but I saw someone use sudo su - in a video, which I thought was pretty strange but maybe the video creator knew something I didn’t, or it wasn’t possible to simply su a few years ago.

The politicians and lobbyists should unencrypt their data first to show us how safe it is.

What is even the point of this research?

The problem is the law of popularity. My friends wont move to an open-source decentralized alternative unless their friends do and their friends wont unless their friends do and…

I wonder where we can draw the line. Its weird because the definition of AI is continuously changing, even though its two self evident words, artificial intelligence.

Its a subset of artificial intelligence, not the only type.

It might be something they’re testing. I had it and then it went away for a bit and now its back. I emulate android on my PC just so I can use an app that has no ads.

That’s machine learning, AI just means artificial intelligence.

It doesn’t make the “turn off your adblock” popup go away though.

That’s incredible, I’ll use this in the future

Is this something people actually do? I’ve only made friends through shared activities, mostly class, and by meeting friends of friends.

Have you tried turning sensors off with developer settings? The camera stops working, I wonder if the app will notice its camera permissions are useless.

I’m not saying it doesn’t work, there are alot of things I think China does right, and I by no means think these representative republics of the west are anything more than veiled oligarchies, as China is a veiled technocracy. I just don’t think its right to call any regime that isn’t accountable to its population a democrarcy, I don’t think its even right to call republics with infrequent or no referendums a democracy.

Except they have a very tiered system, where elections only occur for positions at the lowest level, and the higher tier the position is the less accountable they are to the will of the people. There is no governance by the people there, I would argue there isn’t in most countries that claim to be democratic, but its even more blatant in a system where the rulers aren’t even representatives of the people, just representatives of a slightly lower tier of the only legal party.

I get that China isn’t as bad as alot of news sites say, but isn’t it common knowledge that China is a one-party state? Where is the democracy exactly?
