What else could it imply? Surely if money is not an obstacle they'd just buy the iPhone they wanted for their kids.

Internal memos explicitly stated execs were worried that if they brought iMessage to android, poor families might buy their kids cheap android phones instead of iPhones.

You can't make this stuff up

I put the napkin math at closer to 5,000-10,000. Judging by how few people the average person interacts with on the daily, and how many people are also in happy relationships from a selection within that tiny sample size of the world populace. It really stands to reason that there are a lot more compatible matches out there than our romantic notions care to admit.

That said, the chances of actually having a meaningful interaction with more than 0-2 without heavily investing time and effort in meeting new people is also pretty slim.

Am I the only one who thinks a 15% upcharge over the EU might actually be reasonable considering the logistics challenges (lack of infrastructure, convoy hijacking, etc) on the African continent?

Is that not how it works though? Lol

Unironically that's how zram works

If you're idling at 300mb with containerd running, you're not getting better than that with a modern general-purpose distro. As others have said, switching to another vps' free tier that offers more is your single best bet by a mile. About the only options you have on this one are compressed ramdisks being used as swapfile (zram) and literal disk swapfile to get you the rest. It'll be very slow though if you have to load half your workload on shared platter swapfile.

It doesn't take much sometimes for a sentence to completely change meaning,l; at best we knew what he meant but struggled through it slightly.

Spelling and grammar are important. Language is only as useful as it is commonly and uniformly understood.

+1 for fancyzones. It works really well and is pretty full-featured. If for whatever reason you want deeper customization and automation, AWM (Actual Window Manager) would be your best bet, but fair warning it has a very steep learning curve and can be a bit finicky.

Or you know, if it's impossible to strip out individual data, and it's too expensive to retain/retrain models with data removed... Why is everyone overlooking "just don't process private data, and only use public data in model training"?

Not op, but for posterity, that was the title of the video when it came up in my YouTube sub feed

X fire, but in my defense I was eleven

what she's described in that thread is absolutely egregious

*If true and complete.

None of us were there, none of us know what happened, none of us knows the context of anything discussed. There's a universe where everything she described is misinterpreted banter and she's just an overly sensitive whiny zoomer. There's also a universe where everything she described is an understatement to the unfathomable conditions she may have been subjected to, and Linus is a prototypical millennial edgelord piece of shit who can't read a room, and gets off on belittling those under his domain.

It's important, I think, to not be impulsively reactionary towards individual accusations. Doing so disincentives discourse and transparency. I'm going to let this play out for a bit before I make any decisions with my wallet. If Madison deserves the benefit of the doubt, so does LMG.

I can't think of a more fair model than "sum up what the user watched, divide that across what they watched, distribute according to whatever agreements they have with those rights holders. At least then Netflix gets out of the business of being the bad guy.

"Hey if you don't think you're getting your cut, take that up with the network that sold us your show for pennies"

Perhaps we should all get paid in perpetuity for the things we create that others use in perpetuity.

Yeah I was going to say that seemed like a weird range to cherry pick. I have to imagine the 16-17 crowd in the US is like, 25-50% employed at best, and that's 2/9. 5-6/9 in that range are school age if you count college.

I wonder what that looks like for the US

I was like you and got screwed by it. That's the unfortunate part of the system for us. Credit rating isn't rating of trustworthiness, it's a rating of likely-to-take-debt/trustworthiness. Never having credit is often "worse" than bad credit. If you ever do try and take out a loan for a car or a house, you will have fewer and more expensive borrowing options.

The play for people like us is to open exactly 2 sources of credit, use one as autopay for static bills, and automatically pay it every month. Use the other for dynamic expenses, but monitor and pay it off in full whenever it reaches 30% utilization, or 25 days, whichever comes sooner.

One can get the benefits of credit without actually accruing debt. The way you use your cash/debit, you already don't spend money you don't have. Just continue to not spend money you don't have, but get the benefits of the system. Be a "deadbeat" as they call us. Us deadbeats actively cost the system money by never carrying balances that accrue interest.

Could be worse; we pay for an unlimited WebEx site license and they still insist on using zoom :/

The overlap of "old people who donate to churches" and "people with student debt" is probably quite low. Debt and hardship breeds low-income, low-educated future generations, and those uneducated bloodlines are easier to convince to go to church.

Keeping middle america poor, uneducated, and struggling is a direct benefit to both religion and the corporate bottom line.
