We especially need a European alternative for let’s encrypt. Almost all websites, web applications and APIs rely on it.

A more fundamental question: what makes you believe you had a past life? Since when did you have this belief? When did Rafael live?

And the United States is the asshole?

Coming from windows, Linux mint cinnamon will be very familiar to him. It also runs games well, being based on Ubuntu.

I ran an older Nvidia card an currently a new amd card on Linux mint without problems. I suggest you try it out first using a live install on a USB stick.

I’ve written thousands of lines of untyped python code for a system (still) used daily by hundreds of users, handling time critical as well as financial data. It made the company I worked for millions and it worked. Was it bug free? Nope, bugs would appear in production from time to time, but they were very easy to detect, and very quickly solved, especially because of the fact that python is an interpreted language. In 7 years of working on that application there was only one bug that caused data corruption and required us to reprocess some data that took a day or three. That was the worst thing to happen in the entire lifetime of that codebase. I totally agree that if you structure your code properly, log properly and give your developers the trust and permissions to actually solve stuff in production quickly, you might even get a competitive advantage.

If IP is abolished, that would to me imply that use of AI should be free for everyone, as it’s based on everyones collective knowledge.

How did you solve the problem that phone IP addresses are essentially all NATted? I was looking into this myself, but the fact that phones don’t have a public IP address stopped me.

LMDE does seem to have keyboard issues though it seems.

I’ve been to Russia (st. Petersburg) where entering a church would cost $10, but for Russians a couple of rubles.

It makes sense from the perspective that locals should be able to afford seeing their own art and architecture. If foreigners can afford it and are willing to pay the asked amount, I sort of understand.

Can’t say it surprises me with the way Trump is running that country into the ground.

Opinions differ I guess. I thought it was quite good.

What am I, a caveman?

Yes

Short story is that Zhang took over a Dutch Tech company, mismanaged it, and tried to take its Intellectual property/trade secrets to transfer it to a Chinese company, essentially gutting nexperia. The board of the company and the Dutch Chamber of Commerce intervened. Note that the Dutch government didn’t do this for political reasons, but based on the findings of the Chamber of Commerce, who intervened because of intentional bad management.

This article makes it sound like Zhang was the victim here.

Heard on the radio that no documents were actually signed and 'details still have to be worked out ". Also, while Trump is celebrating another big win, it’s awfully quiet about this deal on the Chinese side.

That is one side of the coin. But what if he gets into financial trouble later in life, when you’re no longer there, or otherwise able to support him? Addictions, accidents, bad business ownership, legal trouble - there are lots of ways people can inadvertently lose everything they have.

If you’ve never learned how to build stuff up from the ground up, it will be a lot harder to recover.

There are valuable lessons in earning your own house and working for your keep. If everything comes easy it’s going to be a problem when things get tough. You can only hope you set them up well enough that there’s never going to be financial woes.

The nicest people I know are nurses and teachers. Although I think there are genuinely nice people in all professions. I know nice people in HR and IT too.
