How much work do you think would it be to also create a FOSS backend, maybe utilizing an existing xmpp server for federation?

Where do tractors mainly transport people (or cargo)?

A boat is clearly closer to your definition of a car than a tractor.

By that definition a tractor isn’t a car.

You’re calling me a clown when you don’t even know what a car is?? 🤡

You are making up arbitrary definitions to suit your silly argument. A boat is a form of personalized transport with an ICE engine, a steering wheel and seats, even a windshield etc. so it is clearly a “car” 🤡

I think this mostly benefits the somewhat later Kaveri etc. APUs that have a southern islands iGPU. Quite a few thin clients and laptops used those and they are still capable machines today for most non-gaming tasks.

And boats are a variety of car if they have an ICE, right? 🤡

You are also arguing in bad faith, because cars are not the same as internal combustion engines. You might be able to argue correctly that tractors replaced farm animals for productive use, but tractors are not cars.

No it is rigid. Just search for “IBC container” and you will see how it looks under that cover. Those tanks are widely used to transport liquids.

The point is that horses got replaced by trains, trams and bicycles for most people long before cars became widely used.

Ancient history kinda requires an (public domain) example of ancient art, no?

Usually they are there to make sure the (storm water or mixed) sewerage systems get properly flushed. It’s not as ridiculous as it sounds at first.

Yeah, this was a nice surprise for the old thin client I use as an GUI access terminal for some servers. Not exactly a gaming machine, but some desktop tasks also benefit.

Having used both (and I agree that Element is pretty shit), I think the advantage of teams mostly boils down to the integration with Office365, which is hard to replicate for Element even if it wasn’t shit otherwise.

I think much of the critique is never the less justified, but out of interest, how much do you think it has to do with the integration on Teams with Office365, or put differently, if the EC would stop using Office365, would the percieved advantage of Teams disappear?

It’s not that hard, but Matrix is driven by bad ideas (decentralized rooms that function similar to a blockchain, basically mandatory e2ee compatible with large public chats where it makes no sense, etc) and those actively harm it being used as a chat program and bind developer resources.

Imagine someone could have predicted this inevitable outcome and could have invested that money into reneweable local energy sources /s

I always found it strange that there seems little effort to jailbrake smart TVs and install alternative roms on them. Some might even work nicely as home servers while still serving their function as a TV.

Overall I agree, but it is missing and important aspect: maintainability.

This is maybe the most insidious part of LLM use to write code. Since LLMs have no real understanding of the structure of the project they will duplicate functions and generally make a mess that very quickly becomes unmaintainable by humans. The only “solution” LLM users have for that is perpetually rewriting large swaths of the codebase introducing new bugs, removing features and so on.

Since open-source software is usually especially long lived and maintained by a changing group of people, this results in code bases that are like asbestos that no one wants to even touch.

I think there is little hope reforming huge hospitals from within, but have you looked into mobile clinics and such? I think there are examples of them being operated by local NGOs to help disadvantaged rural communities or maybe seasonal migrant labour?

I mostly know concepts like that from emergency response though. Like they are relatively common in Ukraine. Most are small and only do basic care and referrals, but you can find larger examples like the mobile field hospital the Red Cross is operating in Gaza.

There is no competition: Idiocracy, because it isn’t funny anymore when you are in it yourself.
