The idea that one of these is vastly and objectively superior to all others is just pseudo-religious nonsense.
You can get a job and make a living in just about any country. But the quality of life differences and how comfortable of a living you can make are gonna be vastly different.
Can we even trust those numbers at this point?
Basil Fawlty had a similar rule.
trying to solve a parenting problem with technology
That was never the goal, just the excuse.
Gonna be weird to age verify yourself to use a smart thermostat.
It was never about that. There’s already been a lot of instability in Iran (massive water shortages) and this was just an opportunity to put their foot on Iran’s neck to cause even more instability. With that instability created and oil prices going up, it will cause global inflation. With things becoming priced out for regular people it will cause some markets to crash, then the ultra rich will buy up those things and consolidate even more wealth and power.
Why is it CALLED intelligent?
Because it is “intelligent” by definition. You’re conflating the word with “highly intelligent” or just “smart”.
Dogs are “intelligent” but can’t they write code, but we sometimes refer to dogs as “smart”.
A flatworm has intelligence but no one would call it smart.
you might find a priest that tells you to stop smoking for your health no matter how you phrase the question about lighting up and prayer. What people are receptive to is going to vary.
Ya, I’ve read the thing about praying and smoking in another comment. The funny thing is that I have very specific opinions about smoking and would argue that smoking while praying is disrespectful, but God would listen in any case.
Are we surprised some people’s thought processes and decision making might turn extreme when exposed to this?
Yes, actually. I’m not doubting the power of language, but I cannot ever see something anyone ever says alter my sense of reality or right from wrong.
I had a “friend” say to me recently “why do you always go against the grain?” My reply was “I will go against the grain for the rest of my life if it means doing or saying what’s right”.
I guess my point is that I have a very hard time relating to this.
Would you also claim the diesel cars are worthless because you can’t use regular gas in them? No, I thought so
Photoshop is trash.
Minecraft works just fine (it’s Java for crying out loud)
Steam works natively. Valve’s most popular hardware device runs Linux.

You want to use a garbage Windows built-in application on Linux?
without having to deal with work around and terminal garbage as easy as I can windows?
Two things here;
You can get around on Linux without a terminal
The terminal is king in functionality
Windows requires a command line for many things also, this isn’t a Linux only thing
If you come to Linux expecting it to work like Windows and run all Windows applications, then you’re setting yourself up for failure with bad-faith expectations.
the measles attacked antigen-presenting dendritic cells which interacts with memory b-cells hence the “wiping out the immunity”
And once this happens, a trivial cold can become deadly.
You have Google. It’s called immune amnesia, look it up. It’s not some fringe theory. It’s established science regarding measles.
Measles has this interesting quirk where it can completely reset a person’s immune system. So it’s like they never built up immunity to ask the stuff they were exposed to in their life. That’s actually the thing that ends up killing people who get it.
That leginkább is actually something that’s being researched as a potential way to help people with autoimmune issues.
You had me at “no Node.js”
They’ve been pushing the thin client for years
I think it’s been decades at this point, and I hope it never takes off.
My specific issue is a buried line at some point between my house and the next ISP demark. I did say “all the time”, but that was hyperbolic. It only goes down when it rains or when snow is melting, which suggests a cable somewhere is cracked and water gets in and degrades the signal.
It happens maybe once a week in the spring, and is back as soon as I reboot the router.
But your assertion that just because a single person’s internet goes down that the entire country’s internet is not “the best” is childish and a reductionist argument.
I do live in a 1st world country. I enjoy socialized (free) health care. And actually my country has some of the best internet in the developed world.
Maybe this is a product aimed at 1st world countries.
I guess that rules out the USA.
Expected downtime for 1st world countries is normally under an hour a year
Citation needed.
If your internet is shit you do not need to buy this.
Nobody should buy this.
yes but how often does your internet go down?
I have a 1Gb connection. I work in software development. I live in a nice neighbourhood. My internet goes down all the time.
Irrelevant to my point
