Well, it looks fine for web browsing.

Specs sure read like my 2010 PC. If that works for ya, cool ... I ain't even looking at the price though. I'd just as soon plug in my 2004 laptop that's still running fine on XP & an old version of Ubuntu.

Interesting, but there's no evidence they are nazi themselves, just that they intentionally disregard whether any of their partners are nazis, and only concern themselves with whether or not any partnership furthers their goal of promoting open source tech.

So their focus is just limited and immature.

They themselves can still do a lot of good, orgs don't need to be perfect, but I too would expect them to remove support for extremist led project when made aware, as to ensure they weren't inadvertently supporting extremist views and actions. But I also can't see punishing them for being politically or socially stupid while otherwise being very tech savvy.

Like we've never met a socially awkward tech savvy person before?

The world is mostly a bunch of grey areas: at this point I disapprove of a couple of their actions, but I won't boycott them outright for their error.

If they started flying nazi flags themselves, well, then, I suppose things would be a bit different.

"The name "Zoox" is a reference to Zooxanthellae, a marine organism that, like the Zoox robotaxi, depends on renewable energy and is able to maintain a symbiotic relationship with organisms in its surrounding habitat.“

Actually kinda cool, but appropriately dumbed down to be usable in modern coversation, "hold on a sec, my Zoox just pulled up."

I don't know any pirates, but I sure do know a lot of people that share copies of files on the internet.

99% of the internet is trash. Pages bouncing all over while loading, constant cookie or login popups (even with various blockers), links not connecting, old long outdated content being pushed to the front of searches, junk AI slop non-answers articles or marketing lists about a problem vs actual detailed answers....

Then there are all the various billing systems for various marketplaces, that all wanna require memberships for one time sales, before they tell you the shipping cost.

And so so much more.

It's all heavily dysfunctional and lame and not user friendly at all anymore.

Same work same pay, nothing else should matter--not even length at that employer, as raises should correlate strictly to inflation.

I like the idea of a system add-on that randomizes all user age responses with a different date that equals like 25-99years old (assuming 25 years meets the highest age for the applicable standards).

Not too dissimilar from a random MAC address generating feature.

I prefer standardized OS wide appearances that are respected by all apps. The only skinning I want are Dark Modes or Mini Player modes (for media players).

Let the community vote. Get them onboarded and functioning now. If they don't work out, try another.

Technically you're posting to social media right here, but I think we all got what you meant.

I hope the man gets to your question too, to tell the story himself, but just in case he doesn't, after the AMA, you can search the web about him and his character and Worf or Dorn. There are articles that briefly talk about the two of them touching base on the subject of portraying Klingons on Star Trek.

But, again, I'd wait till the AMA is over. It'll likely be more meaningful hearing it direct from the source.

They're both a bit stranger in a strange land.

That's a nice catch.
