They would not even understand, they practice narciss-ism even more often than rac-ism.
Also, talking about inclusivity, this is a (probably not fully exhaustive) list of all the "-ism"s. That is how much of an ignorant cretin people using this neologism are.
Same here, I even refused participating to a family game event because they are playing The Settlers IV. I would have happily played the GOG version, but somehow the UbiSoft version (that they played) was more functional (understand that the GOG version is purposely broken) and the two are incompatible when it comes to online multiplayer.
Also, I suspect you meant customer, not costumer... 😉
I guess what they were trying to say is: with fossil fuel cars, there can be zero electronics, heck, if you are willing to drive the least optimized car, and start the car mechanically, you can have zero electrical system. With EVs there will always be electronics. They simply can't function without. And who says electronics, in our societies, says DRM, subscription based features, etc.
But yeah, I had a 1997 Honda civic hatchback, it already had electronics. I got a 2004 Volvo V50, it had more electronics. And when I see modern cars, they are choke full of electronics, and many have "features" such as GPS tracking, constant connectivity, internal cameras, …
It's like TVs really, it's nearly impossible to find a modern TV that doesn't need to connect to the Internet, and that doesn't carry the risk of its microphone or camera recording when you are unaware or unwilling.
Still tops the current gen civic...
Wow, niiiice.
Everyone during 2023:
NVIDIA has gone absolutely bonkers, if they think we can afford a non-entry-level GPU sold at over 500 bucks. I'll hold on for now.
digitaltrends first thing in 2024:
NVIDIA GPUs didn't sell too well last year, and they seem to be in need of some good old butt kissing. Lemme ram my tongue in there... Onomnomnomnomnom
Just to add to the QEMU/KVM comment: you can also run an android emulator. The install process is a bit annoying (and contains too many "trust me bro" downloads from Google servers), but it is simple enough and you should be done in around 2h, modulo your uplink.
And at that point, using scrcpy actually helps with the keyboard input.
It's funny, because when I was searching for the information, I found your post... so I guess I could have saved myself a lot of trouble and just asked you here... 😅
Oh fuck I didn't even notice your nick... you're u/Zak on reddit??
Also, nah, his prosecution had nothing to do with reddit, this was my mandatory "fuck the abusive intellectual property and its consequence on the life of the common people" plug. Sorry 'bout that.
I'll have to admit that I'm pretty unknowledgeable about the reddit history.
I was even unaware that spez left the company, all I know ~~was that it is based on an original idea from Aaron Swartz~~[^1], and that it's a damn shame he was "made an example of" by the American establishment, only for daring opposing to their "values" of "knowledge is only for the powerful".
If only they had left him alone, or had enforced a punishment on par with his "fault", he would still be alive, and we would have likely have seen a ton of extremely cool innovations from him.
[^1]: I checked the information after writing this, and it turns out, at least according to Wikipedia, to be false: reddit was in fact founded by spez and Alexis Ohanian, in 2005, and Swartz joined via a merger, in 2006. However, this goes against what Swartz himself said in an interview:
"I was with the Reddit team back when we were coming up with the idea, in the months before the first Y Combinator Summer Founders Program started. We eventually began working together full time around that November [2005]".
When you design and run a platform, it is your responsibility.
If you design the platform to allow anyone to "create a morally objectionable community and then associate it with anyone else", you are responsible for this oversight.
It's not like spez took that responsibility and reacted accordingly. He didn't care, didn't change anything, and the simple fact that he could have fixed it in a matter of hours but chose not to is complicit enough to admit wilful association.
So, in my book, for all intent and purposes, him not doing anything with that mod access is irrelevant. What is relevant is him not doing anything about that mod access.
Provided that the exchanges are cooperating (voluntarily or by law).
Why do you think NK and other "impenetrable" countries are so fond of it? It provides them with the means to monetize something otherwise pretty useless: their relative independence and the resulting potential for secrecy.
They are turning into new-age Swiss banks, keeping anyone's private ledgers private. For a hefty sum.
And one does not need a strong currency to achieve that: other cryptocurrencies are also perfectly usable.
