Obviously! Look at the current world leaders. We might as well try the dolphins.

The U.S. version certainly does.

Good point! Thanks for pointing that out.

But the things doing the testing could be bots instead of human actors, so it may very well be that no human does in fact know.

That is the real dead Internet theory: everything from production to malicious actors to end users are all ai scripts wasting electricity and hardware resources for the benefit of no human.

Obviously hand coded. After all, he just discovered that there are people, or more probably bots, who will use open resources for their own uses.

Well then, thank you for the clarification. And thank you for linking to the original source!

I’m quite happy the Fediverse exists. Thanks for making the video and posting it to Lemmy!

Not even soaps for washing dishes or clothes?

And make sure you save any important data on the Linux partitions, don’t just assume that /home or /sys will be there after the resize.

This is a good question. On your home network, that’s pretty easy. On other networks, setting up a VPN that tunnels to your network seems like it should work.

I’ll bet one of the exceptions is having a bunch of money.

That’s true. Let the largest BGP routers go down for 5 minutes and any demands the people who run them have would be met.

Ah, OK. Thank you! I hadn’t thought of that.

This isn’t even A.I., no matter what they call it. It’s OCR and an SQLite database. Honestly, they could have done it 25 years ago .

I opened the link just to make sure. Yes, that is the entire “article”. There are 3 links below it to pay them.

I’m not too surprised at having to use HP software to set it up. The one I was assigned to set up wanted an HP app that requires an account. I’m pretty sure it would also need to be continuously connected to the Internet in order to print. That is utterly ridiculous!

I’m copying my comment from an earlier thread on the same subject.

Tl:Dr If you want to be less hated, make a good product.

I was asked to set up an HP printer earlier this week. It was connected by a USB cable. It stopped printing after a few pages.

HP wants the end user to download their app to use the printer. The printer also has to be set up using an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. I’d already tried to connect it to Wi-Fi using the button on the printer, but it just said “Er” & blinked some other lights. The HP website specifically says that the printer cannot be used with just a USB cable.

I was confident I could have got it to connect to Wi-Fi and downloaded the app, but it was too much of a problem just to be able to print.

I had a Brother printer moved into its place. There haven’t been any other printing issues.

Reboot and see if it still happens. If it does, is it always the same characters that are missing?

A quick search for “Linux missing characters” says it could be the font that you’re using.

To take this thought to the logical maximum, we are all under the stars, always. All buildings are ultimately outside, and therefore under the stars. Even in the sub-basement of the tallest building, the floors above aren’t that high compared to the atmosphere, and it’s still under the stars.
