If by normal you average, they don’t even really need 16gb.
Creative work can gobble up ram, heavy ass multitasking does as well.
So it’s more in the digitally productive professional or hobbyist cases where you need such amounts as a person.

For development high amounts of rams can be useful for all sorts of stuff, it’s not just compiling, but also testing, though 32 is often enough.

You have no idea how dense it is down there. We do not go down there.

I like your coins better than Euro coins. Look much more artsy.

Oh, I wish that were true, but things are not this certain.

That was news to me as well, I just accepted that you as a possible englishperson knew that and that’s what you meant by it being punishable.

Look at it from this angle:
The carts are personal property. When you don’t return them, that’s theft. When you don’t return them properly, that’s miscoduct.

Americans have been doing this for an eternity, so they just hired a cart guy and called it a day. You can’t put the entire country in the courts. It’s culture at that point.

Englishpeople didn’t and so it became reasonable to just make it a law for the few idiots who think they can do what they want. No cart guy required. This is how most laws are made. Traffic laws were once a good example.

First I thought how would you use a cart that unlocks with a Euro in Canada now I’m thinking how are they gonna unlock it with a dollar bill.

Conclusion: I have absolutely no idea about the fiancial system in Canada.

Step 1: Want to be good, always see your mistakes.

Step 2: Improve a life long, but be happy of your life.

You can’t do better than that. Anything in that direction is good.
Just in general. I don’t even know if a god exists. Nor should it change my behavior.

It’s essentially for selfish reasons, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t putting ourselves second or even third. You won’t be doing stuff your brain doesn’t tell you to do and your motivator is called dopamine. Where that comes from is irrelevant. But when you have a good heart you will tend to want to make the world a better place. And you will live knowing that you did. However, it is possible to have a bad day and still have the enforced neural pathways that got trained because the dopamine has made your brains remember the last time you did that. At the moment you might not even like doing it but you do it anyway. Because it’s “the right thing to do” or so your brain says. When you have felt a hardship you may also feel compassion with someone and do not want them to feel what you felt. But the essential reason is the same.

So it’s absolutely possible to be selfless, just not for selfless reasons. Doesn’t mean we’re all selfish assholes. On the contrary. We get happy in groups, so we want the groups to be happy. We do everything for that. If we don’t then we tend to not really be there anymore. And we’re not required to, but we do. That’s the selfless part.

There is also Safari, Gnome Web, Falkon (don’t know the spelling), ladybird, then you got the web browsers that are not fully web compliant… the point is there is a lot. And even if Mozilla wasn’t paid large sums of miney by Google, Firefox as code wouldn’t vanish all of a sudden. It would likely be picked up by the FOSS community (again).

Right, and everybody buys their games over microsoft store. I don’t even know what the hell GOG is supposed to be. A monopoly is not characterized by no other players, it’s chracterized by a lack of seriously competing players. There is a serious difference. Chrome isn’t the only player. It’s still a monopoly with 70% of market share. It can move the market at will with little meaningful resistance.
If I go and sell lemonade, that doesn’t do anything to CocaCola.

You’re absolutely right, it doesn’t make me right. But that’s not what I said anyways, so I don’t think you did what you think you did with that.

You little radlib you, always confusing being a fan of a thing with that thing being good <3.

If you want an actual breakdown of the points where Valve uses its monopoly to manipulate the market. But I’m not sure you’re interested in that, since you haven’t even explained a single aspect of economy, but only been telling me ho wrong I am. Shows incompetency.

I don’t need to keep trying, as this isn’t about me convincing you, but simply about me showing that you are wrong, which according to our like/dislike ratio I successfully did. You do not matter here. The academic truth does.

Right, didn’t achieve anything. Which is why republicans are losing politically left and right at this time. Historically, politicians can not withstand a mobilization of 3.5% of the population. That’s globally, not just the USA. Protest are only going to get larger from this point onward, with the no kings already reaching a cool 2%. New York just elected a socialist mayor, as New York has often set trends for much of the united states of america. I agree, america is in fall, and as such in shock, that’s kinda inevitable at this point. But that doesn’t mean fascism has to come and stay. You know, instead of being a doomer and just saying everything will go to shit and citing your feeling for it, maybe you could start listing some things, so we could have an actual intellectual conversation.

Alternatively you can wriggle in your pain and do not help out at all in any revolutionary way whatsoever. I couldn’t give less of a care as I am not american, so go right ahead. I mean I don’t even know what you look or sound like.

The democratic backsliding we are experiencing is sad, but it’s by far not been the first time. Graphs go up and down. But just as you don’t make money by analyzing graphs, you should watch our for movements in real life. How strong is the opposition, what basis is there? In ireland they’re starting a gigantic mass movement that is pro-democracy, pro-humanity, anti-billionaire. Here in germany we have a gigantic underground community of highly educated leftist opposition. The actualy majority we see in the AfD is a populist movement, not the people actually wanting to kill jews again.

The west might fall, humanity does not. I feel with you when you might say that you hate losing your democratic home.

Unlike yourself apparently, I learned that in school: Monopoly is made up of two greek words “monos”, meaning single, kinda like mono and “polein”, meaning sell. It’s a market where there is a single seller. But unlike what you think, it is not possible to simply “create better competition”. A monopoly is controlled by a single entity. You can not enter a market controlled by a singular entity without ludicrous amounts of luck or wealth. There is a reason why even the US, the country with the most, largest monopolies in the world, has antitrust laws.

I had a reason to call you out, you didn’t even get any insight to my thought.

You do not understand the issues around monopolies and it shows.

The future is no ads.

“Think, Mark, what will we have when they’re gone?”
“Linux.”

“Digital ownership must be respected.”
Yeah, that’s what this entire thing is about.

No. Where did you get that idea?
