  • Another commenter in this thread noted that the chamber of commerce is just a right wing lobby group, completely separate to the department of commerce. Not sure if you know that already, but I think it basically aligns to the view of the comment you replied to.

  • High Court In India Rules That Viewing, Downloading Child Porn Is Not A Crime - The Publica

  • The semantics is that downloading is copying something from one computer system to another. Nothing about intent or permanence or whether it's a temp/cache file or not. If you did not download the file, you cannot have seen it.

    Whether you meant to do something or not does not change the action. The colloquial use of the word downloading to mean something different from streaming or browsing does not change the fundamental action.

    In the case of WhatsApp, which is specifically in question here, it doesn't "cache" images in a temporary folder. It saves the images to your devices media folders in their own library. So even by your definition, they're being downloaded. Now, this is a setting which is on by default so maybe an individual doesn't realise. It doesn't mean they're not downloading the content.

  • It'd be a cheaper solution than switching to an AMD card for my gaming pc, which is my current plan. I do want to upgrade from my 2080 anyways, but graphics card are just SO expensive

  • I've seen lots of people recommend PopOS for NVidia users. I personally haven't tried it yet, but could be worth a shot if you get sick of windows again.

  • Taking harm reduction measures in the meantime is absolutely not a waste of time. We cannot be so naive as to think that your suggestions will happen in the short term as each of them require radical changes to the political and social landscape that will take (have been taking) decades.

  • Apparently my love language is installing on the laptops of people I really care about.

  • The browser versions aren't too awful, if that's an option.

  • Makes you connectable. If you don't forward ports for your torrent client you can only connect to peers who are port forwarding, meaning you will download and upload more slowly in most cases.

  • What PC is like the "thinkpad" of PCs?

    Jump

  • Easy enough to imply it from all of the other comments in the thread, and the fact that the op referred to the ThinkPad in the title. You're correct, and it's not your fault the op used the wrong word, but context indicates that they were talking about desktop PCs.

  • Sideloading won't be enabled where I live

  • Eh, I know plenty of developers glued to the apple ecosystem who could probably have a lot of fun with it if they were able to. They just don't rate it as important enough to counteract the things they like about the ecosystem.

  • I've got a pretty good mixture of qualifications and am working in a tech adjacent role so I'm not starting from nothing. I have some decent connections and might be able to carve out something at my current org. So it could be worse.

  • Reddit death > installing mint on my second PC > realising I can run most of the games I play and installing mint on my main PC > start learning Rust as a first foray into programming in a long time > realise I want to go back to uni and study info tech to get out of my shitty marketing job > get a shitty second hand laptop off my parents that struggles to run windows and install endeavourOS to try something different.

    It really is a slippery slope. When does it end???

  • Everyone who listens to the same downloaded 50 song playlist everytime they open Spotify premium is paying for you to use the service

    But I use it much more similar to you than those people so I am also winning lol.
