Dude read the Culture series, took all the wrong lessons from it and is speedrunning that horrible vision for a sorcery in his own mind.

Journalism’s not dead. The fact of the matter is that people don’t want to read journalism, they want propaganda and tabloid; if this wasn’t true ProPublica would have the readership that the Sun does.

We’re a few major breakthroughs away

We are dozens of world-changing breakthroughs in the understanding of consciousness, sapience, sentience, and even more in computer and electrical engineering away from being able to even understand what the final product of an AGI development program would look like.

We are not anywhere near close to AGI.

Yup, AGI is terrifying; luckily it’s a few centuries off. The parlor-trick text predictor we have now is just bad for the environment and the economy.

This is barn cat erasure.

Debian? Not that I’m aware of.

what?

Being sexually harassed by two people who refuse to respect boundaries while peers, friends, and school administrators look on and laugh was the “comically terrible” situation in 2006. Given the content of this meme, nothing has changed; which, in itself, is a sad statement about our society.

Congratulations on mentioning a bunch of features that were baseline two decades ago.

Every Garmin has a full suite of health and exercise tracking. Smart functionality like tap to pay, messaging, app API integrations for using your watch and not your phone, integration with Garmin’s entire line of outdoor smart equipment and sport-specific tools.

They’re not comprable. If you just want a Pebble 2.0 and don’t take care of your body, go with that. If you actually live a life, Garmin’s a clearly superior choice.

2 weeks between charge

Most Garmin watches do this and they offer a modern featureset.

Several dictionary words in series cannot be “easily brute forced.”

You’re out of you’re depth and saying stupid things.

Not at all. It will lead to easier to type passwords, likely. But that doesn’t mean shorter. This could easily be filled with passwords that are four words long with special characters interspersed.

decent NUCs are much pricier than old discarded hardware

This can be true for some, but for a lot of labbers the increased energy cost of enterprise hardware will exceed the cost difference of the NUC over the expected life of the equipment. That doesn’t mean it’s an obvious choice to go the other way; it’s just something you should consider.

Sure, but it’s an additional 70 miles. Not something that would go unnoticed.

Plenty of chemical syntheses are patented. Biological catalysts and precursors are patented every day. No one owns the rights to orbital calculations, because that would be like patenting the concept of a square root — it’s not novel or even complex within the field.

User base size dictates development resources. If you want Linux mobile to be daily driveable, you do need widespread adoption.

Look at the FUD getting voted to the top. This place is just as bad as Reddit.

Look here’s one in the wild!
