Knives and car keys are accessible. I don’t know about porn AI tools, i haven’t seen any myself. The AI tools i did see have guard rails that make improper use impossible.

We (adults) created a world with knives, guns, automobiles. But if any of these were used by a child for manslaughter would you still blame collective adults? No, parents are held responsible for protecting their children and controlling their access to dangerous tools.

To me that proves that the feature was in demand. That’s why it’s included now.

“facts”

They added a lot of things since XP that I enjoy, like window management, multiple desktops. I don’t know if they were specifically requested by windows users, but contrary to your opinion they are welcome changes. Users don’t always know what they want.

My main issue with ebooks is not being able to sell them. I prefer them to physical books when reading, but once I’m done with a book, i don’t think I’ll ever read it again so I’d rather sell it to recoup the cost.

I deleted when they disabled APIs and my app stopped working. It was 13 or 14 years old at the time

It doesn’t say anywhere that he’s seeding pirated media. Seeding is not illegal.

It is unreasonable if they are not the one providing payment infra.

They already charge developers 100$ pa for the app store account. If that doesn’t cover their costs, they can increase it, but going after 3rd party payments is pure greed.

Apple is a patent troll so it serves them right. They think they can patent rounded rectangle, lol

I’d like to see a game of cat and mouse until Apple fucks up and breaks their own imessage app

But does it account for manufacturing of the plastic cards, delivering it to the user, and the added expense of the extra weight when carrying it around? /s

False. Mining is what uses electricity (and water) in bitcoin, not transactions. Adding more transactions does not add to the cost. Calculating consumption per transaction is misleading as the two are not related.

What does add to the cost is complexity, and complexity is calculated based on number of miners in the network in order to achieve the sweet spot of 1 block every 10 mins (if i remember correctly). If there’s a lot of competition, each miner will have to use more electricity to win.

It’s incorrect. I would comparing to fuel consumption in a car based on how many times you turned. If you make more turns on your way, it would seem your car is more efficient, when in reality there’s very little relation between turns and fuel usage, just like there is little relation between number of blocks mined and transactions.

Sqlite is nice and fast. I think the only disadvantage is you can’t connect to it from multiple processes or machines, so scalability goes out the window.

Docker compose to get started quickly. Although docker can be slow on windows so other methods are also documented.
