Yep. But even a closed-source CPU is good if it makes the architecture more mainstream.

Ah, I see. India has the Communist Party of India, the CPI (Marxist), the CPI (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, the Communist Marxist Party, and the CMP-A, the Revolutionary Marxist Party, and an even greater number of socialist parties. They have aligned with and against each other through the ages, but I just posted this combination because I found it while going through last week’s election results and found it funny.

Look at the party affiliations of the winner and runner-up.

There are no ads on Lemmy anyway. Why are you being asked to pay for that?

Wikipedia defines capitalism as an ‘economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit’. In contrast, communism involves ‘common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products … based on need’. The ‘means of production’ here refer to property that can be used to produce goods, and ultimately, wealth. Factories are the usual example.

I must point out, however, that the meanings of these words change over time and place. Also note that it was the Marxists who popularised these two terms; to quote Wikipedia, ‘scholars who are uncritical of capitalism rarely actually use the term capitalism’.

Inb4 cars are required to jam phone signal when in use.

Leopards do attack gorillas, and they probably kill babies. But a leopard weighs, on average, about half as much as an adult gorilla, so attacks on adults might not be that common.

Jaguars live in South America. Gorillas live in Africa. Even gorilla vs lion is very unlikely, since (most) gorillas live in the rainforest and African lions live in the savanna.

How does the battery having a short daily life get the user to buy more? If anything, won’t it give the company a bad name?

I see, I’ll look into it then. Thank you.

I think a good compromise would be the car only reporting you if you cross the speed limit. But then, you’d have to take the manufacturer’s word for it.

Right, which is why I prefer to rely on local backups. Much cheaper in the long run.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think cars and heavy vehicles should report overspeeding and other reckless behaviour to the traffic police.

My external HD is working well, but the computer’s HD seems to be of poor quality. I’m worried that once the primary copy gets corrupted, the mistakes will then be copied to the external HD as well. (Although if I understand rsync correctly, this shouldn’t happen.)

So which filesystems are better for archiving?

Thank you. On that note, when backing up, is there a way to compare the two versions, see if one has become corrupted, and copy the good version to both? It would be sad if your primary copy got corrupted, and you overwrote all other copies with it.

6$ is about 500 rupees. I can get another HDD for double that price.

I do copy some important files to Google Drive, but I don’t pay for it, and I don’t rely on it.

I mean, saying a model is cheaper than the latest iPhone is like saying Teslas are cheaper than Mercedes-Benz.

Oh so that’s why South Korea’s birth rate is plummeting. It all makes sense now.
