But also, users who really care about end-to-end user experience will automatically prefer standard payment apps. So, then bad apps should automatically get weeded out.

Finally, it is possible I admit, that here, we have "What's good for an Apple user?" vs "What's good for long term goals of the system?". Because it is quite possible that the long-term cost that happens because of the monopolistic practices of Apple only impact poor users negatively, and not rich users. And therefore, the only argument that actually works is, "This is bad for the whole population in general in long term, because of the potential for abuse in future by a company."

In such a case of potential abuse, it is possible that the users would then look the government to help them out, possibly at huge cost to the government. So, it might make financial sense on the part of the government to prevent such a situation from arising in the first place. And then, the real solution to this problem would be to break up Apple the phone hardware company from Apple the iOS company from Apple the payments company.

A 15k AMD part vs a 60k nvidia part. For 100 Nvidia GPUs, you can buy 200 AMD GPUs and at least 2-3 engineers for 3 years at 300k to fix the specific library for that GPU. If you can make that work for a lower level library right now, then it makes to sustain it in future.

Also, I use akin and perplexing quite often in my text. The semicolon much more rarely however. But when I write professional text, then yes, I use semicolons too.

They talk a big talk about digital Sovereignty in Europe and then clicking on the English link of the page makes the page disappear. The key underlying factor of a strong open source strategy is a big enough market to justify the upfront investment in writing the code. I'm sure the state wants to talk big about open source and Europe but when it actually comes to collaborating with multiple partners, especially from non-German countries, things are going to fall flat on their face.

So, I'm definitely going for weather as the reason for the tradition and not any timezone shift. And that also means that office work and air conditioning should reduce this practice over time.

So, 1 million GPU-based servers, which is just double of what Meta is planning to use for its own supercomputer. So, not that much.

1. Better choice of desktop environment (KDE/GNOME vs OS X)

2. Wider/better selection of applications

3. Better development environment

4. Ease of deployment of your own apps

5. Better fit for your budget (why spend 3000 Euros on a limited set of features, when you can spend the same amount and get huge number of features/better features)

6. Capability to connect upto 3 external displays (which Macbook has got only recently)

The equivalent of Oracle vs Google here would be if you rewrote the exact same python module with exact same API names, but all your implementation was clean-room implementation. Here the question is, if the APIs themselves are copyrightable.

I use this kernel, you can use this with most operating systems. Once things are setup, everything is extremely smooth.

I use xournal++ for note writing, and using GNOME is necessary. KDE doesn't have support for screen rotation etc. When you use GNOME, make sure to disable gestures and screen edge detection, because that might occasionally cause interfere with writing.

So, the workflow is quite simple with xournal++, you run a `inotify` based watched which automatically compiles and pushes stuff on every save. I of course assume that only `xournal++` on tab can change those handwritten notes. You can get some fancier git logic if needed. By putting the baselink as `https://gitlab.com/user/repo/-/jobs/artifacts/main/raw`, you can get the list of PDFs directly on readme of your git repo. pretty nifty for referring to later.

US also helped current regime when it first gained power.

Having said that, it doesn't condone the actions of the Iranian regime as well.
