I wish they’d open source the name.

It should be called the “Linux Subsystem for Windows”.

Mexico uses meters and the U.S. uses feet. There is a possibility that there was a misunderstanding there because the U.S. uses a dumb system that nobody else uses.

Your neighbors pay your salary. The more money in your community the more there will be for your salary.

Sometimes you’re likely to want to get groceries.

Sometimes you’re likely to want to go to restaurants.

Sometimes you’re likely to need to get housewares.

Sometimes you’re likely to need services from plumbers or mechanics or electricians.

If you choose your local community, that money stays in your community, and it’s likely to make it back to you.

If you buy from a company headquartered in a different city, the money you spend goes to that other city.

So next time you’re buying a burger and fries, check out your local restaurants.

Google offered Workspace free to individuals. I set that up and used it for my family, and then BAM! After a lomg time using it, they removed the free plan, once we were using it for logins for a bunch of sites and for our emails. Went from free to $50 per month. It took a LOT of effort to get my family off of that. Never again.

For the entire time I have lived on this planet, I’ve been pretty confident that my daily activities would generally be considered legal, and that the Federal Government had literally zero reason to be interested in me or anything I did.

Now, though, I am aware that the government can disappear me and rendition me to a death camp, without trial and even without habeas corpus.

As far as I can tell, if I’m being arrested I no longer have anything to lose. I am aware of that, and should it come to that, I understand why people are saying to act accordingly.

That is as far as I am going to say in this conversation.

That’s not being fair to the new owners.

It’s the company buyer’s responsibility to make sure they know about and honor existing contracts with the existing company, and it’s the company’s responsibility to provide that information to the buyer.

It is not ANYONE else’s responsibility to make them follow that. If something like this happens, the company(whether before or after the purchase) was in the wrong.

What international alternatives exist for YouTube? And I understand RedNote as an alternative for TikTok, but YouTube fills a little bit of a different niche.

Parrots can mimic humans too, but they don’t understand what we’re saying the way we do.

It’s interesting how humanity thinks that humans are smarter than animals, but that the benchmark it uses for animals’ intelligence is how well they do an imitation of an animal with a different type of brain.

As if humanity succeeds in imitating other animals and communicating in their languages or about the subjects that they find important.

The United States would be better with a lot more toasters.
