Meh, even when rich, you aren’t exempt from taxes

It was all for show from the start.

“Hallelujah!” Sounds way better in Arabic.

Used Galaxy S21 for 4 years. Didn’t like that phone. Issues with overheating, I didn’t like Samsung custom interface, battery life too short at the end and loudspeakes are mid.

Go for Pixel 9a. Its fresh this years phone, 7 years of support, Doesn’t cost a kidney, and has pretty good battery. It doesn’t have headphone jack tho.

You’re missing the point. If your location is outside of UK YouTube and others don’t ask for age verification. Noo need to send your child pics to some creepy middle man

I think UK government has no idea what they’re doing. First the stupid age verification which will eventually result in massive leak of private information, now this.

If they wanted to save the environment they should push for mix of nuclear and renewable energy sources. But that requires effort…

Nope. Server farms are by design made with energy efficiency in mind. You can’t push them any further with regulation

Also super long term archives are stored on magnetic tapes, they consume virtually 0 energy

Don’t know how this works in UK - In Poland there are other ways of signing into/registering in banking.

Another rule: Don’t let your kid share his face. Ever. For any reason.

If YouTube wants his face, just buy VPN so your kid can browse safely

Yeah Ubuntu backed out with the next major release. Probably because of user complaints.

Canonical. They had that brilliant idea of wayland-by-default in 2017.

It was a great clusterfuck of frustration for me and other Ubuntu users

The biggest issue for last ~8 years was that wayland was promoted as “superior” while lacking even most basic functions.

V-Sync control? Nope. Hidpi scaling? Nope. Only in 2024 it got to the point where it’s actually usable and these features were implemented.

I don’t believe they will be able to compete with Google/OpenAI in a direct battle

I don’t know about that. From my experience, community AI models (both image generation and LLMs) are often far, far superior to whatever large corporations can dish out within the same size bracket

Although I personally wouldn’t put too much emphasis on “can report you to authorities for any reason”

They literally sent police after some poor dude based on their correspondence with a doctor

The difference is that Google scans your private correspondence and can report you to authorities for any reason, legit or not.

I have this mental fanfiction that every god has a way to be killed, and when you kill them you can get things from them

Sounds like Black Myth Wukong

Who gives a fuck seriously?

After 13 years of developmemt issues like that are sometimes patched.
