The fastest way has probably been economical destabilization, as it's the easiest way to use the feelings of people. Then one could gain status in a country and exploit legal systems to gain dictator status. Would work with some systems, and some are more resistant to arbitrary exploitation now. You could also combine the peoples mistrust with external pressure such as threats of war so that they try to overthrow their own government and fail to create a working system again.
Many of those have shady Histories and CEOs. Many are seemingly made by normal companies, but those are owned by Chinese organizations. The only real alternatives would be Librewolf/FF and Degoogled Chromium. That would be a matter of preference, mostly. And you don't even have to use Librewolf, you could just use a seperate, clean profile in FF. Launch it with firefox -profilemanager or on about:profiles, @dukeofdummies@lemmy.world
One could argue using it on Windows means only allowing M$ to spy on you, theoretically. Though I would not be surprised if M$ uses a custom version of Chromium including Google trackers, so the opposite of degoogled chromium.
Fun fact: Your body will also survive 5069. This is due to the law of preservation of energy, which means no energy and particles can vanish, they can only change, but they're still there.
Seriously, this script may destroy your machine and require a rebuild. It may have varied results on different machines in the same environment. Think twice before running this.
I don't think "machine" is defined as "installed packages". And reading the code of the script, the breaking part is the whole script, as 90 lines are literally just for the purpose of getting, changing and reapplying the path variable. It (or rather the system and user one) are also backed up to C:\PATH_backups_ChocolateyUninstall.txt.
So it's still a wonder for me how removing something from path, or adding for that matter, is so complicated. Linux just has /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin for custom scripts/programs globally, and .local/bin for user specific executables. If you really want custom paths for your special application then add a script in /etc/profile.d/. No need to permanently change a global variable that could easily break your system at any time.
TL;DR Windows is dumb for having global PATH variables without a way to expand them modularly, which would be much safer.
Google is not at fault here, not at all. If at all, Google is just responsible for a not fully up to date product, which could enrage consumers at worst. If that guy literally couldn't see the road he also was unable to stop for an animal or even human.
It's not Google's responsibility to drive responsible for their users; drivers need to do so safely with or without help from maps of any kind.
If the false information had caused an emergency vehicle to be misguided which led to the death of the patient I would agree that Google is at some fault.
Other than that, the companies responsible for caring about the bridge should be at fault here somewhat too, even though it's not their responsibility to - again - ensure a driver can stop in time at their current speed and the given weather conditions. Yet they should mark a road as dead end and block the road as done at eg. natural cliffs where roads are ending, with proper material, so blocks of concrete stopping even tanks.
It isn't as hard apparently. The script follows the manual way, just delete the folder it's in. What is a problem seems to be changing the path - extracting, changing and reapplying the path variable seems to need 90 lines of Powershell alone. That's just crazy. I'm also wondering how other programs write themselves into path without needing warnings and backups of the path for the user to restore.
Then our experiences differ, though I must agree some instances (which you can switch in the settings - maybe there's one closer to you or less stressed), including the official ones, have a meager uptime (compared to YouTube, ofc). Sometimes they're offline for a few minutes and very rarely they're broken for longer due to YouTube changing something.
Probably not, considering it's a pretty janky solution prone to being broken by legitimate actions like editing it. Most are also fine with just using a database, maybe even selfhosting it.
That's the situation I'm in. 12 year old me did not know the problems Nvidia had with Linux, especially Wayland. My server on Ubuntu did not have problems with the GT 210 after all - which was to be expected considering it was headless and just used Nouveau.
For it to be very hard if not impossible to swap in Laptops I agree, that's true. For desktops it should be a drop-in replacement tho, considering the equivalents of AMD to Nvidia all need the same, if not less, requirements (Power, Other components, Plugs). Selling my 1070 I would get ~100€, which is the price of a used RX Vega 56, the AMD equivalent of my card. Considering I want to upgrade in the near future that would be pretty pointless however.
The only option I would see to add tags to files without using some sort of picture management program that supports tags or an SQL database would be to just add raw text data to images. The image still works as eg. "IEND.B`."/"0x49454E44AE426082" marks the end of png data. Everything afterwards is ignored. You can test that by writing some text into a file (echo "Hello World!" > test.txt) and cat'ing the image + the text, eg. cat image.png test.txt > new_image.png. new_image.png will still contain the original image. Note that editing/exporting in editors will probably delete that data. Still, it could be used to add tags in eg. Json/CSV, and also extract them. That would require some work in coding, but work on any filesystem and system without additional files.
They have good tech support.
