Windows 11 is enshittfying a feature that let you skip making a Microsoft account

There, FTFY.

Great if it is done right. This will put a stop all those screenshoted memes from Fediverse.

FWIW, I agree with you, partly because the last panel is uncomfortable to look at the anxiety of getting ragged in the public and also because recirculates the stereotype that “X for Humanities” courses are somehow inferior.

Isn’t that the plot of a Black Mirror episode.

I don’t get it. Why Batman?

Actually, it was invented by Douglas Engelbart in Stanford in the 60s

Xerox (re)made it for the PC in the 80s.

I agree to a certain extent; at least elementary school should and remain device free.

Matrix being federated and interoperable from day 1 was pushing for this and there was a blog post on this:

Agree! It can only act as a reference. I like the approach taken by distributions like Yunohost where all the details are abstracted away.

I think it can be configured and it depends on the client to allow it or not.

So…like Lemmy?

Dear Pikachu, of course you are surprised. Learn how to expect and evade Team Rocket first.

If it is a pay what you want model I am all for it. This would be similar to how elementary OS st

The problem with a fixed price is you have to always calibrate it according to the economy of the user’s geolocation. What is cheap for a person from a developed world may be unaffordable for a third world county.

The follow up question would be the opposing force which keeps them in orbit(als)? This balance of force was called the planetary model which has this shortcoming that electrons might fall into the nucleus.

If electrons actually followed such a trajectory, all atoms would act is miniature broadcasting stations. Moreover, the radiated energy would come from the kinetic energy of the orbiting electron; as this energy gets radiated away, there is less centrifugal force to oppose the attractive force due to the nucleus. The electron would quickly fall into the nucleus, following a trajectory that became known as the “death spiral of the electron”. According to classical physics, no atom based on this model could exist for more than a brief fraction of a second.

I am trying to recall what kind of forces enable the orbitals of electrons according to Quantum Mechanics.

G.P.U.

We are free to learn, but learning is not free.

Freedom vs cost. One cannot pickup a skill without time, effort and more importantly access to guidance and a vast library of content. Same applies to man or machine. The difference is how corporations have essentially reinvented piracy to facilitate their selfish ends after decades of dictating what’s right with DMCA, DRM and what not.

This will be the headline a month later:

Cara’s monthly active users down to a few thousands. Here’s why.

It is all AI hype isn’t it?

That math does not check out. There are only 8.1 billion humans alive. How can there be trillions of companies?
