Denisovans too.
throwaway48375··on Debian and firmware
I don't want non-free software. I don't find other distros nicer to use. I chose a distribution whose values aligned with mine. I have switched before and will, admittedly reluctantly, change again to find one whose principals align with mine. I find Debian, as it exists now, the correct balance of ease of use while still respecting my ideals.
throwaway48375··on Debian and firmware
They are the only reason I use Debian at all.

Can't you just bookmark the "Manage Your Deliveries" page?
throwaway48375··on Virginia police routinely use secret GPS pings to track people’s cell phones
You are going to miss out on potential sales asking people to download and figure out some weird app and honestly the likelihood of getting caught is pretty low. I know people who have been selling drugs without even so much as changing numbers for many years.

Also even using these apps you are still on the cell network and there are methods for determining your phone number / IMSI. You wouldn't be immune to this type of tracking.

throwaway48375··on My take on Elon's offer for Twitter
Ironically one of the more popular tankie subreddits was recently quarantined for being too anti-NATO.
throwaway48375··on My take on Elon's offer for Twitter
I mean it does. 4chan still exists it just isn't as popular as twitter.

They make their money from advertisers that don't want their brands associated with particular content.
throwaway48375··on Welcome 2030 You'll Own Nothing Have No Privacy and Life Has Never Been Crueler
It seems to me this is the case in so many cases. Whether it is smart contracts, geopolitics, or relationships trust always seems to be where things break down.

I've always used ALT-D.

To be fair they call themselves OpenAI. Expecting things to be a little more open isn't unreasonable. They are kinda setting themselves up to disappoint people with that name.
throwaway48375··on You may not need Cloudflare Tunnel. Linux is fine
I don't see how you can run a minecraft server on those specs. Just turning the draw distance will cause problems. Add a couple users and you are fucked.

What kind of VPS is less powerful than a pi?

One of my personal favorites is C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts.
throwaway48375··on Germany has seized control of Gazprom Germania
Yes I agree living things like bacteria/yeast cultures are hard to get right. In regards to your previous example you can get the blend of leaves right, but if the plants aren't genetically identical or even aren't grown in the exact same climate the end product may taste very different. When it comes to completely artificial flavorings though it would seem to me that it would be much simpler. For example isoamyl acetate is isoamyl acetate regardless of where or how it is produced.

So we don't have the technology to analyze chemical components of things? I still find that hard to believe.
throwaway48375··on One App – Two Worlds: This Is TikTok in Russia and Ukraine
>Ukrainian Nykolai gets to see men in military attire singing patriotic songs about loving Ukraine. Or talking about it being a man's duty to sign up for battle.

>Russian Alexei sees a man tripping over in the water, a puppy patting a duckling on the head and some funny, homemade costumes.

Is it just me or does the first one sound like propaganda and the second one sound like normal TikTok?

>The Arab monarchies largely keep their messes in their own backyards. When there has been leakage, it has been limited.

It can't be that hard to reverse engineer a spice mixture in 2022.

Got nothing against them, but it's still not what just like what wasn't oink. Every time there is something lost you just can't get back.
