It steals content from creators while being worse for the environment at the same time. Not the same thing, it is worse.

I worked in education in computer science and basic usage in nearly every age group. When you realize how bad people are at using search engines, you can see why people think they accomplished something using AI. It's like giving a child a calculator saying he can do math now.

Creating search prompts itself is a skill. You wouldn't think so until trying to teach some one logic through search prompts. It is hell, literally my hell. Some people just don't get it like 0 percent.

Differentiating what is a good source and what is a bad source is an even harder skill. People will believe what they want to believe. Google search adapts to the bias of individuals because it keeps people searching. This is why, even though it isn't perfect, engines like duckduckgo are important.

That's why the news that Grok is racist is true. The US government will be even more systematically racist now.

I commented a user's use of "rare". Then you did the same to my comment.

I didn't think how the initial poster use of the word "rare" meant to describe "a matter of popular practice, not difficulty." So I replied back to you.

When someone says "rare operating system", the word "rare" describes "operating system".

Here is the statement again:

Normal people either can’t afford these devices or don’t have time for all the hassle of installing and using a rare operating system on a phone.

In your sentence, "rare" is used to describe "it", a pronoun, which refers to the action "to walk around with an actual tinfoil hat".

Umm... I don't think that's right. I don't think you could ever buy a phone from Google with GrapheneOS.

Minimum wage in Spain is €1,300 per month. A Pixel 9a is under $500 and under €550 and currently on sale for $449 and €500. A couple of hundred can get you a Pixel 9. What exactly is a not obscenely price for a flagship phone to you?

And I don't even understand your second comment. People spend over an hour a day on social media alone.

So the normal person in Spain could buy this phone and the normal person in Spain does have the time to figure out how to install a "rare" operating system. A "rare" operating system that's free and easily copied.

From reddit post:

  1. Raspberry Pi 5 8Gb + Rapberry Pi 5 Active Cooler + Waveshare PCIe to 2-channel M.2 adapter + 2x Samsung 980 500Gb + Waveshare UPS HAT (E) + 4x Molicel INR21700-M50A + Noname RTC battery case.
  2. Runs AlmaLinux 9.
  3. Uses ZFS mirror for storage (You have to build it yourself for aarch64, but it is fairly easy and it runs 9th month without issues).
  4. Can run on it's own batteries for about 14-16 hours.
  5. Primarily used as wireless backup storage, but occasionally has sensors attached and a few services running.

Unfortunately, it is too tall, so it won't fit into cases I can find on online stores.

Um... okay. I thought this would be an article about how Asus used gold instead of copper for their PCB to study what the difference would be on modern tech.

This is just advertising garbage for douchebags.

They will use Grok so the government will be even more systematically racist.

This was also explained in the source I linked.

Interestingly, since the data is read twice, some unlicensed developers exploited that. They would have logo data for something other than Nintendo in the location the logo data was normally stored. So you could boot the Gameboy and see some other logo besides the Nintendo one. But, when the logo data was read again for validation, they would quickly change the logo data to the Nintendo logo. That way, the Nintendo logo was never technically reproduced on screen, yet the Gameboy would still boot. Even more genius if you ask me! Very few unlicensed games were released for the Gameboy (at least here in the states). Here’s the best list I could find of unlicensed games.

Thank you for the info.

I appreciate you took the time to correct me on this. I appreciate the information.

As for me saying copyright infringement, I thought it would've be trademark infringement since it is a trademarked logo but the blog post said copyright and they seem to have done their research so I went with that. I figured maybe the code itself for the Game Boy hardware and rom was copyrighted.

I should've said what I don't like about riding motorcycles on the road with cars are unsafe drivers in cars.
