Electricity is not a source though. Do you mean solar, nuclear, and such? The demand is already there. It's the supply that is the issue.

Yep precisely it. Worth it to control the narrative, even if it's for his own vanity. When you have that much money what else do you spend it on. X is a toy.

I have been wearing Vans for so long my foot is the shape of one. This made me check their stock... ouch.

Is it really a problem? Game mechanics and physics are not always meant or desired to be realistic.

There could be lock levels to this. By default everything is unlocked (level = 0), but if a content provider / host receives a signal/header with lock-level > 0 they should be required to honor it. Something like this would require government which means it will probably never happen. Much more power asymmetry to just track you.

I don't use apps. It's a phone with a web browser and camera.

My dreams imprint stronger than reality. This has the unfortunate effect of sometimes recalling memories as real, when in fact it was all a dream.

Anybody that has worked on a phone exchange knows they already do this sort of thing. Some customers just never get through to a person. This is by design.

Jalapeno is matching or very near Vera Rubin at 1/4 the power. I would not buy hardware now.

You normally do this sort of thing with plan old `dlopen` and `dlsym` and make your own "plugin" system.

I always hated their big "suite" app and used the onboard memory manager app. At least it wasn't razer synapse

New comment by snarfy in "I hate packaging my software for Linux"

snarfy — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:14:00 +0000

I use and only package for Arch. I'm a bad maintainer. If some Debian person wants it they can package it for their distro, but I don't see why it's on me to do it.
