Have you installed a Linux operating system before?

The hardware swap is not difficult, but you do have to reinstall the OS on the new drive, so if you're not already familiar with that process it may be a hurdle. The good news is there shouldn't be any important data on it, so if you do have a problem you can just wipe it and start over.

I bought the original largest model, and in less than 6 months decided I wanted more than the 512GB. I wish I had saved the $200 and bought the cheapest model. There's no other appreciable difference.

Do something worthwhile with your time.

Something else.

no shit son

For individual projects the way this usually works is one of the larger companies that rely on the project hires the developer as an employee to maintain the codebase full-time and help integrate it with their internal processes.

Larger projects might form their own company and sell integration & support to other companies (e.g. Red Hat, Bitwarden).

Otherwise you're basically dependent on donations or government grants.

There's a Wikipedia article on this subject: Business models for open-source software

And there's various industry opinions:

Demystifying the Open Source Business Model: A Comprehensive Explanation

How to build a successful business model around open source software

Open Source Business Models (UNICEF course)

I think monetization is easier for user-facing software though, which a lot of this material is written around, and harder for projects like libraries.

It is an absolute PITA to keep an email server on the "nice" list so your company's email traffic doesn't get spam filtered by every service provider, and the major services (gmail, outlook, etc) are all federating their spam filter lists so many times if you get blocked on one you get blocked on all. There is so much spam to deal with that the filtering is highly automated and there's little human oversight.

The point being, it could only take a handful of incidents reporting a company's email as spam to ruin their reputation and result in email from their domain getting automatically filtered everywhere. So, you know, if they don't support an easy way to unsubscribe then they are in fact behaving like spammers, so flag them and let them deal with having their domain blacklisted.

Isn't that the administration's goal?

Equivalent towing capacity of a Chevy Impala, so yes.

This is less of a truck and more of a truck-shaped go-kart.

I mean... it always was unsustainable...

After reading the article and the website, I can't find anything that explicitly says there is no network connection built into the vehicle.

The instrument panel is a screen, and will be used to display the backup camera video. There is some computer capable of handling video processing and displaying the instrument graphics - so more than just low-level electronics to handle the battery and drive control. It could have built-in GPS, it could have 5G, it could still be collecting and sharing data on driving habits &etc, it could be subsidized by that on the backend. Just because those functions aren't displayed to the end user doesn't mean they aren't in the system.

AI is a surveillance technology.

The short selling is over. Time to pump the market again.

There's this quote attributed to Rabbi Yisrael Salanter:

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.

Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

There are two lessons here. First - the best way to affect meaningful change is to start local. Rather than spending a lot of time agonizing over national politics, get involved in your community - your neighborhood, your town, your apartment building, even just the house you share with your family. Your community will take better care of you and the other people that you care about than any national government ever will.

Second - ultimately the only person whose behavior you can change is your own. Don't be too harsh with other people when they don't behave the way that you believe they should. Be a more stringent judge of your own behavior.

But temper that with this:

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much. Or berate yourself too much either.

Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
