There was some kind of “append” mode on CD-R though

more exploitative than the US

🤣

Unless you're in europe where suburbs have food places in walking distance

I always get confused by this analogy because my mind goes to beer representing open source (the ingredients aren't secret, and you can brew it yourself if you want to). "Free Coca-cola" would work better, like you're not paying for it right now but only one company knows how to make it.

unlike other sites like DDG actually has its own crawler whereas most alternatives are just frontends for google/bing

Just so you know, DDG does have its own webcrawler (DuckDuckBot). It takes results from that, and the Bing API, and other sources, to generate results.

Also, they pay Bing for results from the Bing API (which as I understand it gives configurable access to the Bing index) and so even the results that do come out of Bing are quite different than you'd get compared to just a "frontend for Bing".

I am still confused. My understanding was that trans people change their gender. This is something I am able to wrap my head around because gender (man/woman) is a human construct anyway and people should have the freedom to choose where they are on that spectrum.

But isn't sex a genetic thing that can't be changed? If it's the case that a person can choose whether they are male or female then science is going to need new terminology to replace male/female for XY and XX because the words science used to use have been commandeered to mean something more like gender?

This, and any decent RGB keyboard will support plain white backlighting, which should open up a lot of options

Speeds can’t increase forever though because physics. I was under the impression 5ghz was near the theoretical limit, so I don’t believe we’ll see 7ghz any time soon.

ok, I could look this up, but I’m asking you instead. Why is Israel’s behaviour over the last 10 years in Gaza more justified than Russia’s?

I just tried this and it was blurry until I logged out and back in!

“M$” was funny on slashdot 20 years ago but it’s a bit tired now.
