So, while the Infinite Monkey Theorem is true, it is also somewhat misleading.

Is it though? The Monkey Theorem should make it understandable how long infinity really is. That the lifetime of the universe is not long enough is nothing unexpected IMHO, infinity is much (infinitely) longer. And that's what the theorem is about, isn't it?!

No, for fucks sake: I have no idea how Linux works and expect to be proficient after I installed ubuntu once. Must be Linux that is bad if my apt repositories don't work on arch. Fuck it, I'll go back to windows

"Allowed and supported" is something different then "its possible". The article mentions some points that seemingly haven't been "supported" in the past:

  • Stop requiring Google Play Billing for apps distributed on the Google Play Store (the jury found that Google had illegally tied its payment system to its app store)
  • Let Android developers tell users about other ways to pay from within the Play Store
  • Let Android developers link to ways to download their apps outside of the Play Store
  • Let Android developers set their own prices for apps irrespective of Play Billing

Google also can’t:

  • Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform
  • Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first
  • Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores
  • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks to preinstall the Play Store
  • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks not to preinstall rival stores

Thanks Mr. Epic Judge

Mate, you have zero experience how to drive but feel the need to tell others what is save and what not?

Can people please shut up talking about topics they know nothing about?!

It definitely gets easier after muscle memory kicks in. Doesn't really make a difference if manual or automatic.

That was my first linux distro I tried, took 12 minutes to boot on my Pentium 75 with 8mb RAM. Still better then win98 though

My tipp: don't try to analyze and think to much about yourself. It's like thinking about the way you walk and suddenly walking feels strange and forced. You can't change who you are, don't even try it.

Instead try to focus on her, everyone loves a good, active listener. You are there to get to know her anyway, aren't you?

One thing you should take to your heart. Finding a good match isn't an easy task, don't go on a date expecting her to be the one. Eventually you will get disappointed or rejected, that is totally normal and nothing to worry about. It just means you and her weren't a good fit.

And don't try to act in a way thats untypical for you just to impress her. You want her to get to know the real you, not the impression of someone you think she would like.

Think about it like a casual date without any expectations is the best you can do

I think they are saying that in their revised universe there would be an absolute humanity spanning moral code.

I think what we have is something much better. A flexible morality which is taught from generation to generation and adapted as needed. An absolut moral code wouldn't work.

Funny enough, that's exactly the way it actually is. And I believe this system still works; not that we could change it anyway.

And the things that that moral code decide are bad are bad always for everyone regardless.

Still, this is how it is. It discourages immoral actions even when nobody sees them happening, because the person doing them still knows and feels bad/shame/worries.

So, let's say we create an llm that will be fed will all the copyrighted data and we design it, so that it recalls the originals when asked?! Does that count as piracy or as the kind of legal shananigans openai is doing?

Tried it for a few days. It works just like firefox minus one embedded video that crashed after 5 secs but worked in ordinary firefox.

What really surprised me was the speed. Loading youtube on firefox ~0.6 on zen ~0.1 which felt rather nice. I'm still not sure if its worth the hassel to switch.

Nice read. I find it really interesting that due to the unwillingness of many to learn something new, America is almost the only country that still uses these silly measurements.

5280 ft in a mile my ass. You don't even use 0.x numbers but fractions like 7/8th instead. And still some people believe that 1/4 pounder is bigger then a 1/3 pounder. That's crazy

might be your smartphone browser/system is using some kind of proxy. this could explain that you are able to ping, but the browser shows access denied. if no log entries are generated on the server when trying to access it via browser, it has to be something on client side or inbetween. on grapheneOS check: Settings - Network and Internet - Internet - Wifi-Settings - choose edit at top right - then advanced. If proxy is not set to none, change it and test again.

If this still doesn't help, my last bet is some kind of duplicate IP

You are talking about Limux which started 2 decades ago, but there are other initiatives to enforce oss software in german government.
