While there is a logical fallacy here I don’t think it’s a straw man.

It’s some form of two wrongs make a right.

Otherwise known by the modern term: Grifter

Kagi too.

I like the results, especially for research. Definitely worth it for me.

Better at what exactly?

Companies are monarchies.

A single person speaks for that company and drives the direction of that company the workers making the product have little to no say in the overarching ideals and principles of that product.

Not a helpful take TBH.

Canva is crazy easy and convenient. That’s what they built their business on being.

People can complain about the products they like getting worse, that’s how change happens, that’s how people get motivated to make alternatives…etc

Welcome to the day and age where courts have all the power :/

Like ~95% of the rest of the internet that uses cloud infrastructure.

Google, AWS, or Azure

What is your point?

I think you’re being intentionally obtuse here and betraying the spirit of the question?

Your meta analyzing the question instead of just taking the questions as it is, and in the process failed to actually address the core question. It’s a hypothetical scenario where most of our radio communication is jammed and unusable.

The mechanics of how the question got there don’t really matter, that’s not part of the question, it’s pointlessly pedantic to pick it apart. Just imagine the scenario with the mechanics you can consider plausible for such a scenario, and roll with it 🤦

“Aliens have technology beyond our means and largely render radio communication impossible by way of jamming”

Connectors come loose, which makes them dangerous.

They are uninsulated points that allow water and material ingress, and can partially or fully pull apart, causing arching. Which can cause combustion.

This is the main reason these are dangerous, which the majority of this entire thread misses. The added length or connector resistance is somewhat negligible here unless you’re daisy chaining long conductors, which often isn’t the case for in-home extensions.

Distance by itself would be no different than a single cord of the same length.

However, connection points are areas of localized resistance where connectors meet. This can introduce dangerous areas.

That said, those aren’t really the problem here:

The practical, human, problem here is important. Connectors come loose, which makes them dangerous. The majority of this thread is treating this question like a paper test problem, when in reality there are other factors that outweigh the “under ideal circumstances” problem.

Is it just me or is anyone else perturbed that the cable sizes in this infographic are all the same gauge?

If you’re not willing to engage in good faith, intelligent, discussion, please consider leaving the platform and making it a better place for the rest of us.

“I couldn’t be assed to read the article nor understand the problem, but I will assert my God given right to an ignorant opinion on it regardless”

Isn’t what this platform needs.

That’s… Largely a financials problem.

Steam: $8-10 billion/y

GOG: $80-120 million/y

Steam can throw 10 GOGs worth of resources at a problem and barely break a sweat. Yeah, of course they are making huge strides, that’s how consolidation of wealth works when that wealth is actually reinvested.

Found the Linux community admin 🤣

the person actively causing harm is not the problem the real fault lies in the people not stopping them

I really do not understand this rhetoric. It’s illogical.

And I see it applied to all sorts of problems these days. Indicating a serious gap and incredible thinking ability in our society.

It’s slow expensive tech because we don’t invest in it.

Every technology is slow and expensive when you have nearly an entire generational gap in knowledge and experience.

You’ll know that I’m not saying solar and wind are not cheaper, they all exist in a different capacity and fill in the gaps they best fit.

Sounds like pretty much every software project I’ve ever worked on

It won’t only a few will be targeted in the media and the same cancerous culture will continue.

Exactly it’s just a piece of paper if it’s not actually enforced it means nothing.

Just like all the laws and regulations that are regularly broken and ignored by the rich and have no enforcement.

The law doesn’t mean anything anymore if you have enough money and power. And when the law and justice system fail the citizenry it’s the citizens job to take the law into their own hands.
