Dictionaries update to reflect current-usage. Millenials were also a US baby-boom generation, and my older three children, born mid-00’s, were part of a surge in births that made the papers. There’s good reason even your own link doesn’t include a date range.

Some are born in good times. Some are born into lots of company in their age range. Plenty are born-into neither, and the dictionary can’t distill all that into understanding without being vague on-purpose to leave room for idiots to grow.

He’s a political/economic pragmatist. If you have record of him promoting capitalism or bashing socialism, please share, but as it is, Norway is one of the dozen most-socialist-leaning coutries on earth.

Maybe don’t apply USian non-sense everywhere. Liberal vs Mamdani as a prejorative is relavent. Liberal vs Torvalds as a prejoritive makes about as much sense as saying the same about Xi Jiping, Kim Jong Un, Miguel Díaz-Canel, or Lenin.

It’s absurd, obtuse, and besides the point, every bit so as the DNC using identity politics only to silence, promote, or ignore real voices for change.

Everything in your first paragraph is contrary to your first sentence. Every single one of those is another argument, but using a turn of phrase and baiting was apparently more important that even making the first, best, and most relavent argument you brought-out.

The real clincher is that you then pretend the person you are replying to didn’t already make those arguments, well, and that you are disagreeing with them.

“This isn’t [the] gotcha you think it is”, really?

That will change over time, as the expense of utilizing them wastefully or in general has already. This isn’t a news article or snap-shot of the state of things today - its a mandate for due diligence going-forward, and an elaboration on how its been addressed so-far.

Programmers already spend about as-much of their time, if not more, reading other’s code as they do writing their own. It doesn’t mater if that “other’s code” is AI generated or not.

There’s an argument to be made about excessive vs not-enough commenting, but that’s not where you went, and its clear you have negligible programming experience, or creative experience for that matter, to be coming after the concept of sharing code like-so.

One wonders how many books you’ve read, to be pretending that reading a book without paying for it, even borrowing from a library, is theft. Stick with the environmental costs arguments - its what you are personally suited to argue, and far more urgent than the rest.

Hillarious to me that he thought there was a country that needed its ships to transit the straight enough to be able to pay the toll, but without the firepower(or more commonly, allies, but also, firepower - Iran doesn’t even need the help, but …), to tell the US to fuck-off with that non-sense.

Seriously Orange-man, try tolling our biggest, best allies and/or trading partners, I’m begging you. I want to see the spectacle they make of your idiocy as a response.

Half the units in Europe would be named for “heroes” that are war-criminals in another EU state’s histories if:

1. anyone were alive to remember
2. naming military units for people were more of a thing across the generations.

I’m half with Zelensky on this one and half, let’s see if they even survive the current conflict before quibbling with allies.

Passing resolutions? I could see it if the unit took-up a logo like “for Volyn!!”, but the fact is the same units that are heroes or villians or complicit in one battle or theater have played different roles in others.

I would say all I see from across the pond is the kind of wypypo shit that makes me glad the US is a melting-pot with actual racial tensions we realize we need to work on, but considering our issues with statues of fucking Confederate statues and looking at who is in office, I’mma just sit down now.

Auto-repost-bots are far from anything new. Did you check with the mods of the communities in question?

Best result probably looks like Mars. Worst Venus. Either way, survival looks like trying to scrub the planet of any evidence you were ever there as you flee the solar-system in shame, or starting an Empire premised entirely on keeping others away from the home system, for fear of being outed. Maybe both.

That, my dear friend, is called Meth.

IME, rentals had shit quality, unless you were one of the first few people to rent that movie. Still watchable, mind you, but the software for ripping back then would hang on the mildest errors.

My guess was that most of the high quality torrents back then were ripped by people who bought or stole New-in-box discs, or employees at stores that rented or sold them, and don’t forget Screeners.

I always knew I would get uploaded in the singularity. “Mostly because the normies decided its un-ethical to let me die” was not on my Bingo card though. Oh lookie, a shortcut to the Torment Nexus!!

If it had 5G, I might bother, aftter toying with it as-is to see if I could just live with it.

Otoh, the way their description reads, it wouldn’t surprise me if it also filters client traffic in hot-spot mode, which would be a bridge too far to me.

Was the author maybe posting from another instance, or are there moderators in that community from other instances? I once had to go digging in the modlog of the instance a comment was deleted from; my own instance had zero record of it, beyond the “removed by moderator” tag on the comment in my profile.

It’s actually not that hard to figure-out which file in the torrent they give you is the one book you want, by which I mean, I don’t recall exactly how, but my dumb-ass figured it out and did it a few times.

If you didn’t know, you don’t have to download and seed every file in a given torrent. In fact, a lot of torrents seem “broken” because .nfo’s, .txt’s, Extras and/or Samples aren’t being seeded.

I mean, if you’re that-into 78-year-olds, good luck with her … but yes, I was around and active on the internet back then too.

I wasn’t speaking of the experiences of others. I have fonder memories of Compuserve, early Metasearch.com, askjeeves and even Yahoo or AoL, than google. Gmail’s “free” 15gb is what suckered me. Somewhere in the middle of it all Microsoft “partnered” with Bigfix and other scammers(which degraded first the scammers, as they no longer had to pretend or retain even a hint of some of the genuine products they had bought-out), and then Google “bought”(became) Doubleclick … and you already knew all that and the rest.
