imo, that's why flat earth stuff usually doesn't make sense at its core. how do you explain that all those governments from around the world that hate each other all collectively agreed to lie to you

"AI" today mostly refers to LLMs, and whichever LLM you're using, you'll likely face the same issues (wrong answers creeping in, tending towards mediocrity in its answers, etc.) - those seem to be things you have to live with if you want to use LLMs. if you know you can't deal with it, another rebrand won't help anything

i mean, celsius has arbitrary numbers too - human is 37°c, ambiant is 17°c, cooking is 180°c, etc.

i just assumed people used 3rd party services for ease of use or faster transactions, seems so wild that you'd not be able to send money using your bank to me

here it takes 1-2 business day for a free wire transfer from one bank account to another, and you can do it in your banking app or on the bank's website. you just need to authenticate with your online pin code. you can also pay 1€ to get a <24h transfer

it's honestly much better than using a third party service, since pretty much everyone has a bank account, and pays using a card tied to that account directly

you probably got a kernel panic, which froze the system. it's like a BSOD on windows, except on linux, there isn't a proper stack to handle them when they happen while you have a graphicam session running, so it kinda just freezes

i don't think reisub would do anything, because the kernel was probably already dead

you don't risk corrupting much data by hard-reseting your pc on linux -- journaling filesystems, like ext4 or btrfs, are built to be resilient to sudden power loss (or kernel crashing). if a program was writing a file at thz time the kernel crashed, this one file may be corrupted, because the program would get killed before it finished writing the file, but all in all, it's pretty unlikely. outside of fs bugs, which are thankfully few and far between on time-tested filesytems like ext4, you shouldn't have to worry much about sudden power loss!

unfortunately, figuring out the cause of these issues can be challenging -- i've had many such occurences, and you have no logs to go off of (because the system doesn't have time to save them), so you'd most likely need to figure out a way to send your kernel logs onto another system to record them

as general mitigation steps, you should try monitoring your cpu temperature a bit closer - it could be high temperature tripping the safeties of your motherboard/cpu to avoid physical damage to them - in which case, try installing a daemon to control your cpu frequency, like auto-cpufreq, or something like thermald specifically made to throttle your cpu if it gets too hot (though i think that one is intel specific)

i mean, i don't know how it is in other countries, but here we literally study art with nude people in it - Liberty Leading the People is part of the 8th grade national curriculum - and looking this up, i even found a teacher's blog about class activities they did on it with 3-5th graders. i also recall having studied paintings depicting people having sex in 8th grade latin class
it's also not uncommon to have statues of naked people in the middle of town centres - and nobody is making a fuss about it "not being art"

it is art, it used to be recognised as art for a long time, but now it seems like more and more people have a double standard, where old art depicting nudity is valid, but modern art depicting nudity isn't

i think those kids got a point -- app stores are easier than finding random executables on the web

it can sometimes be a pain to find the original developper's website to get a legitimate copy of the software from, especially for non-technical users.

the main issue with app stores is that they're often closed ecosystems, where there's only one app provider. that's not the case with flatpatk!

it's that wayland wasn't ready, and now is ready. it took a long time, because building a new protocol like that takes a while if you want to do it well, and lots of coordination between many people. it still has issues, but they're being adressed. slowly, because x11 was full of half-assed solutions done quickly, and they don't want that to happen again

as much as i agree,

1. accessibility is usually pretty horrendous on most matrix clients, none i could find have full, proper reduced motion support, which i need to properly use pretty much any piece of software. discord is far from perfect in this regard, and getting worse and worse, but still miles ahead of most chat apps i've tried, especially proprietary ones. I have barely used revolt, and in my memory it's far worse than discord, and i have yet to figure out how xmpp works...
2. none of my friends are on it. while i could convince some to move, here discord is already a quite "niche" chat service, and as a student, i'm more or less required to be on any chat service whatever group project i need to do is organised. same with friend groups, i'm usually not a "group leader", and join in friend groups that already exist, so it's much harder to insist on moving anyone over to a new thing no one but me has ever used before
3. ux isn't great. it's improving, but i've had quite a few "key exchange" issues with matrix especially... Also, i found most clients quite messy, but that's more to personal taste!

mac is bsd in the same way android is linux. while technically true, they both diverged a lot from their base and most functions are now provided by closed-source software...

how is that not anti-competitive behaviour?
