System will work, but it will gradually get less and less secure, which can get quite bad.
There is an insane amount of ways to break Windows XP and even Windows 7, it's basically script kiddie's level of knowledge.
And there are real exploits out in the wild that target such systems specifically - while the pool of potential victims is smaller, they're very easy to target unless they are competently firewalled.
Not a fan, but it generally boils down not to where they can fly but how they differ in other aspects, mainly cost.
SpaceX is currently the world pioneer in heavy reusable rockets, which is another way to say they are the only ones to launch big stuff up there so cheap, and it gets even better.
They are essentially doing the good side of capitalism - making stuff cheaper - applied to space, one of the most expensive industries in the world.
This is a bait to collect technical data from privacy-oriented users
Look, they just list all their specs!

Pedophiles are people who randomly happen to have an interest in children. They can't do much about it; they can remove the sexual element (but not romantic one) by chemical castration, but most of them also experience attraction to adults, which will also get cut off.
In any case, this will feed into frustration, which may have other negative consequences.
Killing all pedophiles is not only inhumane, but also unfeasible, since you cannot separate them from others. And this won't remove the trait of pedophilia from the population; for all we know, the nature of pedophilia is not purely genetic.
Not subbed, but thanking the author and hoping all those posts go there, outside of my view.
AI itself is a power that can be used for good, yet people focus on the wrong enemy: we should target corporate cancer that permeates and warps not only AI, but other technologies as well.
Fuck ChatGPT, Bard, Gemini, all that shit - Embrace HuggingFace and things it offers, and pay visit to the AI Horde - thanks our beloved db0 for the reference!
Fuck companies that try to bake in their proprietary models into their operating systems, search engines, you name it, to lead people to adopt the wrong kind of technology - Embrace GPT4All and make it your choice to use open-source, controlled models on your machine.
By sharing general fears of AI as a technology, you play straight into the hands of the likes of Altman, who then turns those fears into reasons to make it a walled garden and shove even more of that shit down your throats.
We should not aim to fuck AI, we should aim for AI not being used as a weapon against us or pushed to where we don't want it to be. Strive for control over the technology that will undoubtedly change our futures.
What was there? Warning against piracy?
Genuine non-US zoomer question
Guess they had suspicions that just about everyone in the world doesn't love genocide
Wikipedia is not currently banned in Russia.
But the Russian branch of Wikimedia as an organization is.
Also, pretty much nobody in Russia uses Ruwiki, everyone keeps using Wikipedia.
That's all not to say it isn't a troubling development, though. But Russians are more likely to access Wikipedia through VPN than to rely on Ruwiki. The game's not lost.
Edit: Thank you OP for striving for the best accuracy!
What's the point?
We have UTC/GMT my dudes. Just count times by that and boom, no time zones. You can even remove a colon, meaning you just end up with 4 numbers, like 1700 for 17:00 UTC (5pm Greenwich time)
Can we stop for a minute and appreciate the fact that to this day, a queer community uses domain of freaking AFGHANISTAN? :D
That by itself is based, although yeah, registrar fees issues are real.
Unironically yes. Switching to Linux gave so much peace of mind through this wave of enshittification. I know my system will remain user-centric for eternity to come, and will work in my interests.
The most beautiful thing about this program is that it would work.
Various bit flips will once lead to all numbers being in the correct order. No guarantee the numbers will be the same, though...
