Typo on my part.

— Lost work productivity (5 days × $150)

The way I read this is they cannot do ANY work without AI. Maybe you should consider if locking yourself into a tool that is so unreliable (with nothing in their terms of service) if you cannot do any work without it is the right choice? Rather than just demanding compensation.

Note that you can use systemctl list-timers to see all active timers including when they will next run and when they last ran. This is very useful for seeing if you have set things up correctly.

There are multiple ways to do this as well. You can do

OnCalendar=Sun 03:00
Persistent=true

To run every Sunday at 3am. And will run immediately when activated if the last time was skipped due to the system being off. Think that is the closest to your cron job.

You can also

OnCalendar=weekly
Persistent=true

If you don't care when it will run. This is equivalent to Mon *-*-* 00:00:00.

KiB was defined decades ago... Way back in 1999. Before that it was not well defined. kb could mean binary or decimal depending on what or who was doing the measurements.

It's both. If busses are cheap and reliable more people will use them. If more people use them they are cheaper to run. Which creates a positive feedback loop to a point.

You can make busses cheaper for people by other means though - like council/government substitutes or running at a loss for a bit. You need to do something to get more people, you cannot just force people to take the bus before doing anything else.

The devs from ΔV: Rings of Saturn give a completely different story. Yeah, most bug reports come from Linux - but platform specific ones a vanishingly rare: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/qeqn3b/despite_having_just_58_sales_over_38_of_bug/

Do you know how many of these 400 bug reports were actually platform-specific? 3. Literally only 3 things were problems that came out just on Linux. The rest of them were affecting everyone - the thing is, the Linux community is exceptionally well trained in reporting bugs. That is just the open-source way. This 5.8% of players found 38% of all the bugs that affected everyone. Just like having your own 700-person strong QA team. That was not 38% extra work for me, that was just free QA!

Not to mention the quality of the reports from the Linux users was vastly more details and useful to them.

They only need it to pass once, we need it to be rejected every single time.

I dont think multiple streaming platforms is a problem. The problem is exclusivity. I dont want to pay for every subscription service to watch popular things. I want to watch any show I want on one platform that I choose. Much like I do for music. But no, with TV shows everyone has their own walled garden of exclusives. Fuck that.

Ads are effective, sadly. And why so much money is poured into them. I believe there are a few effects at play but the direct, see and ad and want to go buy it now is only one ofbhem that mostly only affects some people, or a lot of people occasionally.

I think a bigger effect is familiarity. You are far more likely to pick a product you are familiar with or have seen before over something younjave never heard of. Even if you have only ever seen it on advets and completely forgotten that you have ever seen ads for it. So even if you don't think they work on you they likely do without you realizing, at least enough of the time on enough people that make them worth while running.

Not surprising since car manufacturers lobbied to get them classed as light trucks to dodge the stricter emissions and safety regulations that apply to general cars. Then marketed the hell out of them as there is more profit to be made due to them not needing to comply with as many regulations. And now they are everywhere and are way worst than cars in almost every way.

Funny how yet again the capitalist class chooses profits over any other metric leading to s shittier world overall. Almost like there is a pattern happening in every industry...

Almost like having companies track everything you do is not a good idea and easily raises many false flags that are hard to correct.

This is a bad response to this news. There are many reasons why you might want to run tor on Windows and gatekeeping people out of tor because they are not on a chosen OS is a terribly way to get more people into thinking about privacy and security practices. Yes if you have the highest threat model you might want to avoid Windows as well, but not everyone needs absolute privacy/security for what they do. But why should you not have access to a tool that can help improve things even if you are not able to switch everything to a more private/secure alternative?

Really you should want everyone and anyone to run on tor, even if they don't need it, even if they are on windows. The more people using it the more secure it is for those that do require it.
