You might be right and in any case the new boss is better than the old boss right? Then again maybe this is just the honeymoon period which bluesky soaks up as many users as it can before the enshittification begins to start wringing profit out of the enterprise? Time will te if the hate is justified or just sour grapes.
Hyperbole, any mirror organisms we cook up will be simple and inefficient since they won’t be able to make easy use of the abundance of material that is the wrong chirality for their biochemistry. If they escaped they’d starve to death because all the normal life would be scavenging all the food sources much more effectively.
I disagree with the “don’t ask stupid questions” any question you ask might be viewed as stupid by someone who knows the answer. Better to say “don’t ask questions you know are stupid”.
Got to wait until the network effects make it hard to get the momentum to go elsewhere before really turning the enshittification screws. Look at how much it’s taken to dent twitter significantly.
All of us are neandthal too, and decendants of various ancient celebrities as well as all the forgotten commoners.
This only tells you about your very recent ancestry, but go back enough generations are you are descended from everyone alive at the time who still has living decendants, just like everyone else.
When we’re they last sold though, eol 8 years after last up for sale is fine, but if they were still on sale up to last month that is a different issue.
I dunno, calorie restrictions has tended to lengthen lifespan in other organisms we’ve tried it on.
Now all restaurants are taco bell.
Why have content on the web at all if it can’t be viewed by anyone? Even if generated with an intention to generate profit, there is no opportunity to do so if no one is looking at it.
And if everyone blocked ads and couldn’t see sites that insisted on advertising, how would that work out for the websites?
If you are going to worry about archival then when reencode it at all? Just remux the content from the dvd into a suitable container and be done with it.
Rocky now is what Centos used to be, a downstream rebuild of Redhat Enterprise. Cento Stream is now a rolling release and is pretty much RHEL unstable.
I felt the /s was implied but clearly enough people actually believe that linux is only for people who master arcane command lines that it could be taken as a genuine belief.
Finally linux will have parity in useability with windows.
Not really, because it doesn’t guarantee any specific individual in that population has any of the populations likely traits, it’s only useful in aggregate for things like prioritising screening for certain genetic conditions for people of particular back ground. It’s useless to determine if someone will be an excellent sprinter or a fighter pilot because ultimately you still have to test every individual anyhow and it doesn’t really tell you anything about the “tree” of human evolution which is really a bunch of thick branches all tightly fused together into an indistinguishable single branch.
It’s because there aren’t distinct populations like you perhaps imagine them being, it’s more like a smeared colour pallet where one area might be a bit more red or a bit more blue but it’s hard to say a specific area is pure blue. The distinct features or populations exist as statistical probabilities based on likely ancestry for a given area. Any given individual in a population probably doesn’t express all the “unique” features, but over the total population those features are most prevalent.
Regarding Neanderthals and denisovian populations, they were probably more like what we’d call subspecies in other animals than truly distinct species from modern humans, isolated long enough to build up some unique genetic markers but not quite long enough to be fully separate.
Doesn’t matter if not everyone is traveling far to reproduce, it only takes a few people to introduce a blob of diversity into an otherwise isolated population and suddenly all their ancestors become contributors to that areas gene pool. Without repeated introductions it won’t form a large part but it will form part. For example most people have direct neanderthal and denisovian ancestors and it’s not estimated that pairing between modern humans and those populations were all that regular an event and yet their genes are everywhere.
It’s worth noting that distinct lineages only really happen where there is reproductive isolation and that especially in the modern world no one has a “pure” lineage. Instead you have genetic composition that might have a larger influence from one ancestral population over an other.
You are talking about the boot loader, but even that is pretty standard. There could be hardware exploits in place, sure, but we are mostly talking about a very low margin product and the volume of data that you’d need to retrieve and process to sift out anything useful would be massive and obvious so in general I think this is mostly conspiracy level thinking. Any shenanigans is going to be done in small targeted batches if it’s done at all to try to infiltrate specific targets and reduce risk of some curious researcher or enthusiast accidentally stumbling across it and ruining it.
