Imagine if we found an ancient monastery hidden deep inside a mountain and containing 100 books. Then we found a note from the copyist saying that most stuff wasn't worth preserving so these are only the 100 books he liked the most out of 10,000

What would you say?

What would any historian say?

Firefox Focus is so poorly thought out.

How can you have a content-blocking browser that only allows one single tab at a time?

It happens so many times that while browsing an ad-heavy page an ad gets opened in a new tab (since Firefox fails to block it), but since it's a mono-tab browser it simply replaces the one I was browsing.

LCD, Please 3 years ago

if

I wrote my reply based on what GP wrote, which implied usage of mass produced garbage coming from god knows which hellhole factory in Asia. Adding "ifs" (what if it was produced by a Star Trek replicator using only solar energy?) does not further any argument.

Also, nobody is taking anything away. The market is so oversaturated they would simply switch to a different product line. But still, carelessly contributing to the pile without even thinking about the consequences of your actions is not the best thing in the world

Bye, Gemini 3 years ago

Quite literally: the real Gemini was the friends we made all along

Replicating other people’s work however is not my responsibility

so you want to do science.... which requires there to be replication.... but somehow it's not your responsibility to replicate anything? last I checked the scientific method has to be followed through all the steps to be valid, not just the ones that you personally like

Call me back when 1TB smartphones are $150. Until then, these formats are a life saver. Maybe instead of dragging everyone down you could champion for programs to better their support?

The funniest thing to me is that Google Maps seems to be the "normal person" option and yet only OSM tells me where water fountains are.

Millions of tourists worldwide use GMaps to navigate around in foreign places and yet they have no option to see where the closest place to refill their bottles is? Especially in the summer?

So you want to be known for original results, which cannot be confirmed to be true? So what kind of results are they?

Also your mentality is exactly part of the problem: you arrogantly believe that replication work is beneath you and that originality is all that matters.

You distribute binaries you have to distribute its source as well.

binaries are distributed only to those on the active contract, if you lose the contract you lose the binaries and thus the source. Of course, if you made a local backup you can still use everything for your own benefits

Do you have a diagnosed cognitive condition? This absolute rejection of even the most basic and easy form of food preparation is concerning. Drinking that slop without a decent complementary diet is not healthy for your gut.

too hard

roughly chopping random vegetables and throwing them in a pot is hard?

too much time

using a pressure cooker for 45 minutes while you watch youtube videos is too much time?

Regional trains only need 4 things:

- to be on time

- to be clean and well kept

- to be spacious

- to be safe and simple

this is utterly lacking in Italy and in many countries

Policemen literally have computers in their patrol vehicles and a lot of police work is computer work.

Plumbers need to order stuff online, manage invoices, have an online presence to get and communicate with customers, have digital instruments that might feed into their field laptop.

Bakers use digitalized machines and have their recipes down to an almost exact science. They use computers all the time to calibrate stuff.

You are just substituting one for another. Find enough people to chime in a dollar to fund a VPS? Find enough people to form a high bandwidth bittorrent mesh?

Potato potato, good luck serving the global market with a bittorrent version of dnf update
