Not always, for example this laptop has external monitors wired to the dGPU. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X1_Extreme

They do gain value with age, it’s called interest, and it’s the only reason banks give loans in the first place.

They’re still not collecting the loans from Elon, they’re just passing the loans around. You can take the win if you want it here but I’m pretty sure that’s not what either of us meant before.

You’re on 🤝

That’s not how loans for billionaires work. The bank is very happy to only collect some interest on this huge loan for ever, and would be more than happy to give Elon more loans to buy other things. Because of the fractional reserve banking system the bank isn’t even running any real risk by doing this.

Jokes aside, you create a custom Dockerfile and copy a statically compiled shell binary.

That entirely depends on why you hate it / what you hate about it.

That’s a good link, the author has a bachelor’s in philosophy, so that gives it some credibility, and he is providing a nuanced summary of some philosophers’ views on individual wealth. Schopenhauer is the only one to come close to what you’re saying, and he’s famously the most depressed/depressing guy to ever have walked the earth, not that that means he should be discredited of course. As a list this in no way backs up your point about wealth on a societal level. Just because you identify with an idea that does not make it true.

Here’s an actual research paper with statistics touching on this subject. The authors argue that local wealth coupled with large inequality may cause many people to borrow above their means, causing unhappiness.

That’s not a source, that’s just a new baseless claim. Give statistics on “every philosopher who wrote about the concept of happiness” or sit down.

Lol fucking source?

Gotta know, are you serious or joking here? Follow up question: are you a developer and have you ever worked on a medium+ sized project? The amount of dependencies you end up with is astounding, you can’t just “know” when all those APIs changed, that would be a full time job just to stay on top of. And that’s not even taking into consideration transitive dependencies. If a library doesn’t use semantic versioning, 99% of the time it’s correct to avoid it just to save yourself the headache.

Shhh, they don’t know what that means, let them live in bliss

You can just get around this by using some css tricks to display the dollar and pound signs.
