One person’s trash is… yummy 😋.

“very better”? Anyway…

It won’t last. Right now it’s new, but ultimately it will become an actual initiation ritual to knock it down, or perhaps a harder version to steal something out from under its nose. It doesn’t know who you are if you wear a mask (or stay out of its line or sight) and don’t carry something broadcasting your IP.

This looks like just security theater.

Meanwhile, aren’t cameras cheap? If let’s say hundreds of those were sprinkled around, maybe behind an opaque substance so you could also put up 10-100x more of them but 9/10ths being fake, and you swap them around occasionally, that might not be perfect either but could work better than a robot offering a nice, easy, fun target to play with, just like in video games. (Nobody ever enjoys video games these days though, do they?)

That’s good to know. One of my phones is a Samsung Galaxy S22 and I suspect something went on with that year - a phone shouldn’t simply get hot in your hands merely while web browsing for a couple of minutes.

Every time my phone shuts off for running out of battery, it’s due to Firefox for some stupid reason. Chrome is somehow worse though, just in different ways. Perhaps I should investigate other things like LibreWolf, but if it were clearly better than either, I think we all would have heard of that fact by now.

Either all is well… or it’s wearing the ring of power and all hell is about to break loose!

Then nod faster?

What if I cannot remember when my earliest memory is - how fucked am I then? :-P

Don’t forgot #5 - or for some people this probably replaces #4 - “Oh well”.:-P

Try assembly then - it’ll freaking blow your mind!:-)

Strange that when the options are life vs. death, and Putin is rather known for genocide, that you invent a third option - an impossible one at that! - and then attempt to ridicule me for saying it (when in fact I never did), bc surely I could not possibly have meant that someone could ever be killed, by the likes of sweet, lovable, adorable Pootie?

I suppose you either get it or you do not - oh well maybe next time we’ll see more eye-to-eye.

growing “old” is also optional too

- some people, sadly

(e.g. Putin, and anyone listening to his propaganda, whether they realize it or not)

If a child sneaks away from home to receive a vaccine and LIVES, despite every action taken by their parents/grandparents generation to attempt to prevent their receiving such “necessary” healthcare provisions… then I am not going to blame the child for being depressed about the very real, very scary, very tragic predicament that they find themselves in.

Trump almost won, he may win again, and this time he said (there is video evidence of him doing it) that it will be the last time that anyone needs to vote, ever again; or in the UK Brexit has already happened, and there’s no coming back from that, especially as the more time passes - the UK is simply out of the loop now, and falls further so with every year that passes (even if they rejoin now, who will manage to “forget” what happened before? like an abusive husband, they revealed who they are).

And don’t even get me started on the issue of the kid diddling - a couple years ago a huge scandal involving I think it was thousands of pastors in the southern Baptist organizations across mostly the southern states in the USA, and as always, more than it happening the scandal was the cover-ups afterwards.

What is wrong with you if you think that their depression is a by-product of their “immaturity”? Unlike the olds who are willing to look the other way as their literal children are being physically raped, and worse yet society itself crumbling apart, with democracy hanging by a subjective thread, they at least are willing to READ SOMETHING - a book, an article, or watch the actual debate where Trump blabbers like a child at how big his crowd sizes are, and how toilets don’t flush as well anymore, etc., then goes off on a tangent about people wanting to eat cats and dogs or whatnot. Plus, has anyone looked outside at the weather in the last month…?

“gee golly willickers, I sure would like to be moar like Russia, boy-howdy!” /s

Age isn’t a magic wand that should decide any argument, either pro or con; rather, upholding standards of factual TRUTH should be the goal. imho at least, so sadly I am literally in the minority here, as measured by the electoral college at least. But I will agree with you insofar as it is a fucking tragedy that kids, sometimes literal toddlers, somehow know more than the older generations that have the entirety of the internet to call upon, yet refuses to read anything that doesn’t get pushed onto them by someone with an agenda to do so FaceBook - indeed there is a lot of “immaturity” involved here, though I am not prepared to blame the youths, rather than the olds who quite frankly should have known better, having a lifetime of experience to draw upon but willfully deciding to ignore all of that in favor of “comfort” (yet nonetheless, still willing to go out and perform a vote that will end up killing some of their kids).:-(

Sooo… switch to Perl then? 😜

If a monkey does something, sees that it works, and continues doing that, is that a “strategy”? I suppose that depends on one’s POV, at which point it doesn’t seem “wrong” to say it, nor wrong to not say it.

It’s game theory terminology, like flight is a “strategy”, not that the bird (or bacterial spore or whatever) has the slightest clue about what it’s doing.

It sounds better than “what works is what works”, I guess.

The host OS is likewise limited, but more by hardware, so it might be a small performance tradeoff, depending on whether, as you brought up, you need Linux to be ultimately in control rather than to simply run some software.

So that would not always work, ofc… but it sometimes would!:-)
