It's true. And people try to jump on to similar things. "It's just like how email works!", or "It's just like how international phone calls work!"

Yeah, nobody has any clue how those two things work, either.

That's Saturday night in North American time zones. Just a heads up in case you're planning a boys' night out a couple hundred billion years in advance, maybe move it to Friday night in case the world ends Saturday night.

won’t be useful beyond basic word processing and browsing.

Not even that. For most basic users, web browsing is by far the most resource-intensive thing they'll ever do, and it'll only get moreso. If it weren't for modern web design, most users could honestly probably be okay with 4GB or 8GB of RAM today. For a laugh, I tried using a 512MB Raspberry Pi 1B for all my work for a few days. I could do absolutely everything (mostly developing code and editing office documents) without any problems at all except I couldn't open a single modern web page and was limited to the "retro" web. One web page used up more resources than all of my work combined. I'm guessing it won't be too many years before web design has evolved to the point where basic webpages will require several GB of RAM per tab.

(I agree with your overall point, by the way. Soldering in 8GB of RAM these days is criminal just based on its effects on the environment)

How is something a crime if you do it once, but not if you do it a million times?

You can dream up other examples of this.

If you're a DJ performing for a large audience and yell "I want to see you shake it for me!", that is legal. If you walk up to one specific woman on the street and pull her aside and say "I want to see you shake it for me", that's sexual harassment.

If the government announces that the median income of Detroit residents has gone up by 3%, that's normal. If the government public announces that John Fuckface, 36.2 years old, living at 123 Fake Street, had his income increase by 5% in the previous year, that's a privacy violation.

The whole point of training the AI is to build a model that can't reproduce a single work. It may seem superficially strange, but the more works you include, the less capable it is of reproducing one work.

It wasn't, by the way. Though it could have been flagged by the dumbest of online translators (or even anyone who could read Cyrillic, since some of it uses English loanwords, like "sex" and "gay"). It should never have made it in release, but I disagree with categorizing it as "hate speech". I feel comfortable posting it here, even though it's pretty crude and #3 in particular is very vulgar. If anyone's curious, here are the Google Translate translations of the vandalized parts (except for one of them, fullInstallationSubtitle, which I think is too offensive to be repeated here. It references the Israel-Palestine war):

If you ever see a headline that says "x% of people believe/want/feel y", it's nonsense. You can manufacture a crooked methodology to get x% of people to say anything.

"Can I have a minute of your time? There has been evidence that people who use alternative browsers are more likely to commit acts of terrorism and human trafficking. Would you be in favour of more support for alternative browsers, or would you rather have higher quality public schools?"

And just like magic, you can now write a headline that only 2% of people want a browser choice screen.

One smart thing I think Microsoft did was try to give every error message a code. Googling for "gpoopapp E0013" is often easier and gets more precise results than having to type in "gpoopapp The file /home/bitchslayer69420/.config/share/whatever.yaml could not be opened: File not found"

It's a bit more complicated than that. System load is a count of how many processes are in an R state (either "R"unning or "R"eady). If a process does disk I/O or accesses the network, that is not counted towards load, because as soon as it makes a system call, it's now in an S (or D) state instead of an R state.

But disk I/O does affect it, which makes it a bit tricky. You mentioned swapping. Swapping's partner in crime, memory-mapped files, also contribute. In both of those cases, a process tries to access memory (without making a system call) that the kernel needs to do work to resolve, so the process stays in an R state.

I can't think of a common situation where network activity could contribute to load, though. If your swap device is mounted over NFS maybe?

Anyway, generally load is measuring CPU usage, but if you have high disk usage elsewhere (which is not counted directly) and are under high memory pressure, that can contribute to load. If you're seeing a high load with low CPU utilization, that's almost always due to high memory pressure, which can cause both swapping and filesystem cache drops.

Absolutely right. I just tried it on the browsers installed on my system, loading this page:

Firefox: 560MiB
Epiphany (GNOME Web): 226MiB
elinks: 16MiB
lynx: 14MiB

Looks like lynx is the winner

(Sidenote: This isn't really a fair fight for Firefox since it's my daily driver, with extensions installed and a bunch of stuff cached. I'm guessing even a fresh install wouldn't get below 300MiB, though)

TPM's not going to help with that situation, though, right? Either you're typing in your encryption password on boot (in which case you don't need TPM to keep your password), or you're not, in which case the thief has your TPM module with the password in it.

Maybe that's why the new one got renamed to Aptos, ha.

Assuming you're a man, 32 is definitely not too old. In my personal experience as a 40-something, 32 is right around your peak.

Are you hot? If the answer is "no", that's fine. Most of us aren't. But it means that you'll have to do a little bit more work in figuring out what kind of people (women?) are attracted to you, why they're attracted to, and what might be the best way to meet them. The answer may not be Tinder.
