beatle,

It is not always easy for consumers in any country to tell whether a product contains added sugar, and how much is present, based on nutritional information printed on packaging alone.

That seems like the problem that actually needs solving.

beatle,

If saving the planet means giving up cheese, you have to start wondering if it’s worth it.

“I’ll tell you how I feel about school, Jerry: It’s a waste of time. Bunch of people runnin’ around bumpin’ into each other, got a guy up front says, ‘Two plus two,’ and the people in the back say, ‘Four.’ Then the bell rings and they give you a carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can go take a dump or somethin’. I mean, it’s not a place for smart people, Jerry. I know that’s not a popular opinion, but that’s my two cents on the issue.” — Rick

beatle,

Looks like this only works for bulk haulage and wouldn’t be compatible with intermodal freight (shipping containers)

beatle,

It’s concerning that you think “just buy new stuff” is reasonable and that Windows should only work on new hardware out of the box.

beatle,

Good guy GOG wants you to actually own your own games, forever.

beatle,

It reads like they have their family held hostage.

beatle,

Microsoft are deep into the government with exchange and Active Directory with most being migrated to Microsoft365 and Azure.

Add in MS Teams, SharePoint, MS SQL, 30 years of business rules living in old excel macros that ends up running the entire company.

Windows enterprise licences would be a tiny part of their spend and far too costly to mitigate away from. Most large corporations are virtualising old windows version just to keep their existing legacy apps runnings.

beatle,

I feel arch users would be far more popular if this were true.

beatle,

Better dressed than most modern people with a home and employment.

Will I get a virus from movie-web.app?

So I’ve heard that this is the best website for watching movies, as it doesn’t have any ads and doesnt redirect you anywhere or anything like that. However, the site plays videos from other sites, which do contain malware, and I’ve heard that you can get a virus from simply playing a video online. So while movie-web itself...

beatle,

The link is helpful, the “check for yourself” is not.

Clearly OP is in the beginner camp and just learn computer science and then a programming language is orders of magnitude harder than the yes/no responses they are expecting here.

beatle,

Mozilla Thunderbird is free and open source (foss)

beatle,

The machines are Dutch and the designs are made by the customer. The Taiwanese advantage is their government subsidised chip manufacturing. They aren’t wizards.

beatle,

My understanding is darktable is the foss Lightroom.

beatle,

Your chosen GNU/Linux distribution installs the applications.

beatle,

Nothing better than Google and Microsoft sniffing your traffic.

beatle,

Not true, steam makes it incredibly easy. Install steam, tick compatibility option, install, click green play button.

beatle,

We need national laws for all real estate.

  • Houses to be advertised with a price
  • Sold prices must be provided against sold listings
  • rentals to have a floor plan and total size
  • body corp listings must list body corp and sinking fund details, minutes to meetings and bylaws.
beatle,

Incorrect dukk. Firefox isn’t built on Chromium, Firefox predates google let alone Google chromium.

Is there anything actually useful or novel about "AI"?

Feel like we’ve got a lot of tech savvy people here seems like a good place to ask. Basically as a dumb guy that reads the news it seems like everyone that lost their mind (and savings) on crypto just pivoted to AI. In addition to that you’ve got all these people invested in AI companies running around with flashlights under...

beatle,

Strongly disagree, some exchanges don’t even have fiat on-ramps.

Blockchain is inefficient and pointless when users centralise on coinbase and binance.

Opposition leader criticises the 'glee' of Labor leaders over Robodebt findings, apologises to victims (www.abc.net.au)

It’s embarrassing for Australia that this entire saga occurred within in the last 10 years. Not some long ago scandal when general community sensibilities were different. While it was occurring it didn’t pass the pub test, yet it carried on for 4 years....

beatle,

Shorten is the legitimate good guy in this saga, he started fighting this in opposition and has been against it from the start.

beatle,

Which is exactly how Twitter started out before it became a mainstream marketing channel.

beatle,

It’s interesting to me that you point out how far we have fallen as a society, yet your suggested solution is free childcare to enable more of the same.

As humans shouldn’t we be asking harder questions? Why is our entire family structure working longer and harder for less?

The change we need is single income households being viable again and our elderly being in a position to retire.

beatle,

Dual income households are only essential as incomes haven’t kept pace with the increase to living costs. The working class were conned into it being the new normal.

You’ve taken it a step further by saying that even grandparents are working longer which reduces babysitting options.

Yet at no point have you identified you’ve been hoodwinked. You just want to keep pressing forward, working harder for longer with free childcare. Worse still you don’t seem to understand that it is a fall as we are all worse off because of it.
