What would the benefits be of jumping to something else?

None if you want to do it just because

What am I missing?

Again, nothing if you are not needing some very specific feature that only other distro offer or something that is easier on another distro.

Not that usefull probably. I am in Italy but I use english language for most of the software I use daily, for example.

For this I think it is better to have a simple way to contribute with or ask for the translations.

If you need something specific for Python, there is Eric

how is the “commercial” avenue supposed to make profit if nasa isn’t funding it. and if it can’t, isn’t it just a government program?

NASA is not the only entity that send things into orbit.

the dead end of commercial space is that it can only function as a factor of government work. it’s not a viable industry by itself.

SpaceX does not seems to only rely on government orders.

True, NASA helped (well, it is an understatment) SpaceX, but now it could capitalize on it if the costs are the one @partial_accumen@lemmy.world pointed out.

Since they don't let you to keep the hardware in the case they unsuccessfully bully you to keep the subscription, this is a not a problem, the hardware need to go back in both cases.

Because there is no way that adding adware in a FOSS version of any software has any chance of success.

Fine, I understand. You think that your personal data and preferences have no value for Google (or any other service).
Good for you.

Following your logic, I am forced off every service I don't use because I don't need it. Interesting.

That assuming that they don't harvest any data.

Maybe not the price, but the terms yes, at least partially, which are that I use an adblocker or I don't use the service. Or pay for a service in which I am the customer and not the product.

And I am really curious to see how Google can force me to use Youtube on its terms when I can simply stop using it.

YT doesn’t want freeloaders

Nobody is a freeloader on Youtube (or any other Google app)

Yes. You people just cost money. Pay, or find a new service. I’m not so sure what’s confusing about this.

I already pay, with my data. They stop to harvest data, I pay the service.

Google isn’t going to let you use the service for free anymore.

And I am not going to pay to be the product.

A 15min video from a Youtuber reviewing a product in detail is way more effective than any regular ad I have ever seen, yet there are almost no ads in that style.

True. But probably that money does not go to Google but to the Youtuber directly, so for Google this is still a cost.

True, but it is not that difficult to trucante (or round) the value at the second decimal value.

This is why mass EV adoption is not going to happen. Good luck convincing landlords to install chargers.

If you install a charger, you will get a 25% tax cut for the next 5 years, if not you will get a 25% tax increase for the next 5 years.

Seems pretty convincing to me ;-)

Don't seems to be that big problem, even Lamborghini has now hydrid models and planning a full EV one. Same for Ferrari if IIRC.

Their privacy is non-existent while on duty.

True, but your privacy exists even in this case.

There is actually no reason for police radios to be encrypted.

Actually I can think of a couple of reasons.

One is that this way the parents of a violent crime or lethal incident victim can be informed about the condition before the press publish the news. Last year we had some cases here in Italy where the parents of people who passed away for some incident/crime discover it from the press even before the authority had time to inform them.
True, in this case is the press that is in the wrong, but they could do it because they had access to the communications.

Another is that maybe it is not a good idea to let criminals know what the police are doing to catch them.

BUT I understand your point given the news about US police I read around.

What I think about it is that if you think that all the US police officers are bad then I agree that the not having access to the radio communications can be a problem. The solution however is not to keep the communications open but to fix the US police.

Why not ? Even Linux started as a personal fun project. Let's see where it will go

And I agree. But it seems that you still don't understand how dangerous is to go after the platform instead of the authors of the messages.

But let's suppose that it is correct to go after the platform, so this time the offending content is removed. Fine, good thing.

Next month 174 authors ask to remove everything about the right to have an abortion because they are offended by it and they think that it is wrong (and in some place it is even illegal), what do you think should happen?
