this is precisely why I use a physical calculator

>>107734530
I don't need more power. I want something that makes it very simple to get the answer I want very quickly. For 90% of small computations I can pick up my cheap casio and get the answer in less time that it would take to open excel or start r studio and dismiss the annoying update popup or launch windows' awful webshit calculator app.

If I need repeatability or documentation or to do something with lots of data or calculate something that I need the specialist software to do I'll get out the big guns but a lot of the time I don't and the calculator is just better.

This entire thread immediately associating VPN with (encrypted) IP proxies is proof that the psyop has worked.

It's more a case of majority of people understanding the context, which in this case is clearly about VPN as a (paid) service, and you being a pedantic faggot by saying "ackshcshually you can self host a VPN tunnel" and missing the entire point of the conversation.

>blocking adnauseam
it's debatable depending on how you see the extension, i'm not a fan of blocking stuff by default that isn't intentionally malicious and i'm not sure i would call it intentionally malicious in principal. however, the extension blocking is an optional feature that can be turned off in the gui, so it's a very minor issue at worst

It's also ironic that they want to do anything with Rust. The only reason that the Linux kernel and tooling is being rewritten in Rust is to avoid the GPL and replace it with an MIT license.

God fucking damn it I always knew this would happen before I got around to binging the entire Computer Chronicles playlist. RIP Stewart; he was one of the last remaining links to a bygone era where home computing was genuinely exciting and Silicon Valley wasn't a neofeudalist wasteland, and even if I only got to experience the tail end of it myself, I'll always appreciate that he and Gary Kildall managed to document it so extensively as it was happening
Coincidentally, some guy from HN with an AIslop profile picture was digitizing and uploading lost Computer Chronicles episodes to the Internet Archive a month or two ago, but I haven't looked into them yet: https://archive.org/details/@davidga/lists/2/computer-chronicles-re-digitization-project

There’s a balance.
Obviously you don’t want dunk addicts going hog wild shitting up the public square.
But you also need critique, most people won’t notice their fly is down unless someone else tells them.
