I believe my text-only interactions with LLM cost him a lot more energy then average Joe ones. What about video generators it is sad when I see a youtube video with a really expensive generated picture because I feel somewhat guilty not to look at footage and listen to only words. A lot of water boiled for nothing.

But the truth is that a parchment paper is impossible without PFAS.

Everyone except of video generators.

As capitalists tell, if the climate agenda is correct than we all are going to die soon. But it seems not plausible, nobody is going to die any soon. That proofs the climate agenda is wrong.

Speed.

Probability of success (knowing when to kaboom).

Interceptor should be faster than the goal to have guaranteed interception and it has to have a little time to reaction (lag) to intercept it at least in best case for interceptor.

Distant detonator is also not an easy technology. BTW how many of Patriot shots are required to intercept one goal? Probably it is so because they tend to kaboom in a wrong time.

Also what is very expensive the component which nobody has needed 3 years ago at all, and now everyone needs this. There were no waiting drones at the time which can poke for days then get you from an unexpected bush. Where is the expence in countering that situation, maybe you need a kevlar umbrella? A Spiderman's net? A patroling drone over your head like in Alien Shooter?

that was always like this, long before the slop. sometimes the primary goal is to see you obeying and all other goals of your contragent become temporaly secondary.

How to make data storage on multiple storage devices unbreakable and consistent? The former means for me that back-ups should be automatical and serverless, the latter means that no matter how much of that HDD/SDD devices are connected, I want always to know all metadata of all files I have. I want this software under GPLv3 if to consider GPL still protects me from anything because permissive licenses are no better than WTFPL by any single case.

My first idea is to require the user to have more than one disk for the system needs and the system should know all of the rest data devices user owns. My second idea is to treat different files as having different priority which impose multiple copies. My third idea is to make the software accessible, and the last idea is to make encrypting of all the devices easy and with no ties to any commertial entities. I would like to have a discussion about how to not lose anything digital.

TL/DR: We Have Got It Because of PFAS

Your answer does not answer anything. The discussion is about whether or not to have the trusted third-party. Pro-ttp said that ttp protects from criminals. Anti-ttp said that ttp can make your own money dissappear because ttp is bending the rules. You said nonsence, your examples are not showing any rules or contracts about digital property which are being bent. Why any bitcoin criticism from anyone is always so weak?

What a clever implementation of reducing climate theses to emotions. Like there are no any theses except of:

> interested (58%), sad (44%), disgusted (44%), afraid (39%), anxious (39%), angry (39%), hopeful (38%), outraged (36%), hopeless (34%), or depressed (28%).

> I want the freedom to install the OS I want on my phone.

Probably your problem is that you have no phones, only someone's thin clients.

All of this is true. But all of this except of "transport" is doable on a laptop. Reading long articles on smartphones is impossible at all because they tend to show the reader dozens of pesky notifications. Kaios is enough modern for me and shows no pesky stuff. For example i have no other devices while doing bikepacking and this device can both navigate and entertain me. Absence of messaging apps is the least of my problems because i can phone, read websites and write emails.
