Work is my escape. If I stop, I will collapse

That's not a healty coping mechanism, that's repressing your pain, ignoring the voices in your head that tell you to be sad. The problem with repression is that it works, at the beginning but it will stop working eventually and the more you do it, the worse it's gonna get when everything is collpasing.

Technically a vpn is a private company while ISPs I guess have less freedom over government request compliance. So a vpn would be slightly better but yes, very little added value if it's one of the mainstream ones like nord or tunnelbear

Because streaming over tor is 1) painfully slow and 2) a dick move for the whole network that is very important to others.

VPN don't give a crap about people pirating, and governments probably don't as much as people think (I guess that depends heavily on your country), but if you really want to be safe, go for one of the logless vpn, like mullvad or ivpn.

Also youtube is so widespread it's the best way to spread positive messages, even against YouTube and Google themselves

Windows update: you can no longer move the start button position people get crazy Windows update: UI improvement, now you can customize the start button position

In the meanwhile: recall, more spying, microsoft account and internet connection required for installation

Big tech will try and create a cartel to make open source less usable. Google is already pushing Manifest V3 to make development of browsers extensions more difficult, Microsoft could try and use TPM to only allow running "certified" software, and that could be the end of OpenSource as we know it

You said wise things, but I suggest considering expressing your wife these insecurities. Maybe that will help you come to terms with them and you can find some strategies so she can effectively reassure you.

I rember when "AI" was just the pathfinding in videogames

I have anecdotal evidence that ML applied to image recognition is being used to improve imaging machines (MRI, tomography, etc..)

On a car without modification, likely not, at least not a decently good model. You could technically install a powerful enough computer in your car to run on it

And a lot of support, especially aimed to the beginner userbase. Most basics questions a first time linux user will encounter are usually answered to by searching the forum

Ideally two sisters that will play and get along with each other.

As others have said, this is a perfect example of things you can't control. I have had many csts in my life, including siblings that got along well, siblings that hated each other, different strays that got along super well and other that just could stand each other.

It depends on the definition of "color". For us humans, in our everyday life, the abstraction we have in our mind is more meaningful than the wavelength, which is what formally defines a color, but not how we cognitively perceive it

They are not talking about the mathematical definition of color, but how the color is represented in the mental image you have in your head. Think about how a blue wavelength becomes a blue "pixel" in your head. It is possible to imagine other colors? If we could see ultraviolet, what color would it be? Is my blue the same as your blue or what my brain interprets as blue is different from what your brain does?

PHP weirdness and inconsintencies never fail to amaze me.

On the bright side, I found my first StackOverflow answer that would fit exactly the same on Linguistic Stack Exchange.

Partially unrelated to the meme, but I find it almost malicious how some python keywords are named differently from the nearly universal counterpart of other languagues.

This/self, continue/pass, catch/except and they couldn't find a different word for switch so they just didn't implement it.

It's as if the original designers purposefully wanted to be different for the sake of it.

For me and good and bad are relative: windows 10 was waaaay better than 8, and for some aspects it is quite good, objectively it's still crap for many other things

/swapfile joined the chat

Try and ask her the real reason why she might be reluctant. "Because they're muslim" is not a really strong argument; "because they are fundamentalist and they might extrange me as daughter or prevent me fron leaving the house if they found out" is a very practical explaination on this compromise she decided to take.

Families are complicated and sometimes shitty, but it's her family and navigating around you and them could be difficult (she might love her parents and want to maintain a relationship with them, or she hates them but relies on their financial support, both options are valid)
