Because streaming over tor is 1) painfully slow and 2) a dick move for the whole network that is very important to others.

VPN don't give a crap about people pirating, and governments probably don't as much as people think (I guess that depends heavily on your country), but if you really want to be safe, go for one of the logless vpn, like mullvad or ivpn.

They probably are, have you seen videos from western tourists in NK? They have super luxurious hotels costantly empty because there are at most a handful of people at one time. They really really want to be perceived as modern and civlized so they throw ludicrous amount of money to their ridicule tourism industry so they hope to attract foreigners. Of course this is done at the expense of their citizens

Windows update: you can no longer move the start button position people get crazy Windows update: UI improvement, now you can customize the start button position

In the meanwhile: recall, more spying, microsoft account and internet connection required for installation

Big tech will try and create a cartel to make open source less usable. Google is already pushing Manifest V3 to make development of browsers extensions more difficult, Microsoft could try and use TPM to only allow running "certified" software, and that could be the end of OpenSource as we know it

You said wise things, but I suggest considering expressing your wife these insecurities. Maybe that will help you come to terms with them and you can find some strategies so she can effectively reassure you.

I rember when "AI" was just the pathfinding in videogames

I have anecdotal evidence that ML applied to image recognition is being used to improve imaging machines (MRI, tomography, etc..)

And a lot of support, especially aimed to the beginner userbase. Most basics questions a first time linux user will encounter are usually answered to by searching the forum

Ideally two sisters that will play and get along with each other.

As others have said, this is a perfect example of things you can't control. I have had many csts in my life, including siblings that got along well, siblings that hated each other, different strays that got along super well and other that just could stand each other.

It depends on the definition of "color". For us humans, in our everyday life, the abstraction we have in our mind is more meaningful than the wavelength, which is what formally defines a color, but not how we cognitively perceive it

They are not talking about the mathematical definition of color, but how the color is represented in the mental image you have in your head. Think about how a blue wavelength becomes a blue "pixel" in your head. It is possible to imagine other colors? If we could see ultraviolet, what color would it be? Is my blue the same as your blue or what my brain interprets as blue is different from what your brain does?

Partially unrelated to the meme, but I find it almost malicious how some python keywords are named differently from the nearly universal counterpart of other languagues.

This/self, continue/pass, catch/except and they couldn't find a different word for switch so they just didn't implement it.

It's as if the original designers purposefully wanted to be different for the sake of it.
