they’re not heavy enough to sweat in

This sounds like a challenge my body would lose. I just sweat all the time, regardless of the temperature or level of physical activity.

My point was twofold: that the type of user that wouldn’t care about it being Linux or not just wouldn’t care either way, and that making a distinction based on… intent (?) is arbitrary. They’d have perfectly counted as Windows users if the Deck was a Windows machine, after all…

I’m just having trouble calling that an “audit”.

I forget every time how annoyingly bright my monitor can be if it’s too dark in the room. I can’t be arsed to change the monitor settings every time. And getting up to avoid a headache is such a future me problem.

Yes, but you also said it should be protected in “all cases” but went on about “exceptions”. Assistance in dying doesn’t fit this criteria that would make it acceptable as most definitely not everyone agrees with it. Some DNRs don’t either. The idea that the “whole society” needs to agree is also pretty disputable, and comes with its own set of moral issues. The question of professionals being “properly” trained on the matter as well (what does this mean?).

I just think it’s a lot more complex than “save everyone always”, and the exceptions aren’t that straightforward.

We can also change your thought experiment to help people conceptualise the “billion” part. Instead of a lump sum after a billion years, let’s just take the original million and divide it so you receive the same amount for every year you complete. Does receiving a hundredth of a cent ($0.001) for every year you sit in said room sound like a very good deal?

Even with hundreds of billions of dollars, it sounds like an insanely bad deal. It doesn’t even cover a yearly salary, and money would be completely unusable for 99.99% of that time lol

Just like they previously counted for Windows before switching. I don’t understand why you arbitrarily decide that commercial/enterprise use is not a valid piece of market share that’s been part (if not the largest piece of) the counter since forever. Hell, the market share counter literally counts web browser hits lol

There’s a semantic difference sure (racism presupposes a belief in the existence of superior races), but in practice, the consequences on the recipient must not be particularly different…

There’s no way to eat those cleanly tho, short of shoving the whole thing in your mouth and risk pulling bits of cartilage, to be fair. Same goes for most seafood, especially shellfish like crab, prawns or lobster, unless you pre cut everything, it’s just messy food by default

I'd answer with a non answer: this is way too much thought put into how you use your towels. Just clean yourself properly before drying out your hands, wash your towels regularly, and you're good lol

I see what you did, and I appreciate it

React? I however seem to remember they did try to change the licensing at one point...
