Chromium now requires you to type a string inside the console before it lets you paste anything.

24.04 won’t have Plasma 6, but 24.10 will. In other words, fall 2024.

Or you can use KDE Neon, which is basically Ubuntu LTS, but with the newest Plasma.

Your goal as a company is not to sell as many, but to make the greatest profit. So let’s say that the new market price is $3 000.

You’re the new company. Your supply is 20 000.

Do you

a) Sell fridges @ $2 950/each, undercutting competition while selling whole supply, because of demand being higher than your supply, making $59 000 000?

or

b) Sell fridges at a reasonable price of $400, selling the same amount, because your supply is limited anyway, making $8 000 000?

The company still has no incentive to go B route. They only need to undercut the competition, not make prices reasonable.

Free market self regulates, provided nothing artificially screws with supply and demand and there are competitors. Both scalping and price fixing screws with it. It is literally the cancer of free market, and people screwing with it call themselves “investors”, while actually destroying the economy.

It is the government’s responsibility to prevent those situations before they happen, otherwise these changes may be irreversible.

Btw. A situation like this was happening recently in the GPU market. Nvidia had a crazy high demand for their GPUs because companies invested in AI were going to buy these cards no matter the price. So they bumped the prices like crazy, and they were instantly sold out.

Meanwhile Nvidia’s competitor - AMD - didn’t have nearly as strong GPUs for Ai as Nvidia. Do you think AMD’s prices stayed the same? Nope. They bumped it just like Nvidia, barely undercutting them, because there was still demand, in fact growing demand, for GPUs for gaming, while AMD’s supply was obviously limited.

2 years later, lower demand, GPUs actually in stock, but prices are still fucked (though not as much) because people got used to it.

It’s free market exploitation. If you believe a free market can exist without regulations, you’re imbecile.

Just imagine: People need fridges. All fridge manufacturers agree to raise prices of a fridge by 2000%. So what, people are going to stop buying fridges? No - because they need them.

You would say: it’s a free market, some new manufacturer is going to offer fridges at regular prices. Well - no you dumb fuck. What’s the incentive for the new fridge manufacturer to sell at lower prices, when people are going to buy fridges anyway, because they need them? The answer is - none. It would be a dumb business decision, because your supply is limited, and you’re going to sell it at market price, because that item is essential.

So how does the economy even work if that’s possible? That’s right idiot - because it’s price fixing and it’s fucking illegal.

Imo, the more strict the format the better. Less ambiguity == less confusing when it doesn’t work and easier parser to write.

All of these functionalities can be provided by a simple WebSocket + REST server. The car connects to the WebSocket, and you can access these functionalities from your phone either with WebSockets or regular HTTP requests.

Cheapest servers with backend written in JS can easily handle thousands of WebSocket connections, and written in Go tens of thousands WebSocket connections. They would not ever need like over 100 of these servers GLOBALLY, which would cost them around $3000 monthly.

That’s the price of 60 subscriptions, which is freaking ridiculous.

That is because windows filesystem is mounted to WSL through NFS and while transferring large files through that is ok, transferring huge amounts of small files is really slow.

You realize that maintaining a server that would allow that costs pennies?

You wouldn’t pay $150 for a lollipop, but somehow people think this is ok.

This problem exists exactly because of people like you, thinking it’s OK to pay for the features you already paid for.

English is not my first not language. When I write something down in my first language (polish), it feels more like I’m transcribing things I silently say to myself, while with english I’m actually thinking about every word I type.

The funny thing is, the better I am getting at English, making those types of mistakes is getting easier for me.

But idk, this is just my experience.

Because they learned that from hearing, not reading so that makes sense.

Brave behaving like Win XP era browser with gazillion toolbars installed, with a pinch of crypto and crypto promoting ads should be a giant red flag.

FOSS =/= trusted by default. Why are there so many FOSS evangelists, but such a damn tiny part of them are programmers, let alone programmers able to examine a source code behind such a giant codebase as web browser?

I use Vivaldi, at least their business model is clear, and developer is kind of trusted, and not crypto scammer and homophobe.

Not only OS - written using 3D APIs closed source available only for your OS.

Actually “natural” gets a pass from me. It doesn’t feel right just because we got used to the opposite.

Imagine a paper scroll on rolls. If you slide the top of the roll upwards - the paper goes up, and you can see more bottom content. The exact opposite happens when you scroll the mouse wheel with default config.
