Maybe puzzles? I’m not sure whether that’s what you’re going for, but it could fit.

The whole idea that it violates the terms of service of a company to not let them show things on my screen without my consent is insane. It’s like if every time you went to the grocery store, the employees held you down and force fed you a free sample, then banned you from the store when you started running away from them.

Regardless of how goth you are, that’s a banger of a song.

Finally, the oppressive censorship of our right to free speech has been lifted! Parenthood!

Generally students will get financial aid and scholarships that cover much of the cost of tuition, especially if they’re from a lower income family. I’m guessing that, as an international student from a wealthier family, your son didn’t quality for much aid. Tuition is also generally lower for residents of the state, which he also wouldn’t qualify as.

Even with all that it’s still incredibly expensive and lots of people end up having to take out large loans or work jobs while in college to cover the cost.

A plastic bag in a metal container sounds about as sanitary as it gets. It’s far better to keep the tea in a sterile bag until it’s needed rather than pouring it into another, potentially contaminated, container and storing it there.

You can always have a burner “secure” device for official business, and a privacy-respecting device for everything else.

Yep, SSD latency is measured in tens of microseconds. To achieve that kind of latency with a cloud service, you’d need it to be just a few kilometers away or the light propagation delay alone becomes too great.

Regardless of whether such an organism is a danger, there’s no way we can even come close to creating an entire organism with an opposite chirality in just a decade. That would require somehow synthesizing every chiral component of the organism (proteins, enzymes, DNA, etc) from scratch which is completely impossible with current or near future technology.

At the expense of an exciting new array of problems!

90% of problem solving is just Googling stuff and screwing with settings, which isn’t particularly Linux specific.

“/dev/sdb? It’s sdb? With a B? Yep that’s the flash drive. Just type it in… of=/dev/sd what was the letter again? B? Alright, /dev/sdb. Double check with lsblk, yep that’s the small disk. Are my backups working properly? Alright here goes nothing… <enter>”

They couldn’t, like… Retype it? No need to use garbage AI for everything.

Yep, most to least significant is great because you can sort dates temporally with a numeric/string sort.

I did bring killing Hitler up, and they said that’s justified because things are different in times of war. Didn’t really feel like arguing with them any more than that lol.

I’m not really surprised, common wisdom is if someone malicious has hardware access to a machine it’s compromised. And if you don’t trust your hosting provider to not tamper with your machine, you should really find a new provider (or buy your own server).

My parents think it’s immoral to kill someone, even if they’re indirectly murdering thousands of people. Can’t agree on everything, I guess…

Microplastics are so last century, all the cool kids these days have macroplastics.

It’s not really about “attracting” asteroids, it’s more about their orbital trajectory happening to intersect the Earth’s at the right time. I think the Moon’s gravity is about as likely to redirect an asteroid towards the Earth as it is away, but the Moon also physically intercepts some asteroids, so the net effect would be a slight decrease in Earthly asteroid impacts.

Yeah, tofu? Tofu???
