This is impressive. The real game-changer will be when AI creates an entirely new, significant branch of mathematics.

Looks like authored by AI. With quite some reasoning, but no real data to back up main point.

I emailed myself many times to transfer some files between phone and computer. I would say at least once every week.

Seems like the system is heavily stacked against detainees, regardless of whether they are actually innocent or guilty.

I still don't know the exploit count for Mythos. Is it zero, one, or more?

It takes integrity and bravery to challenge the lies of the powerful.

I suspect some of the problems are not due to Wayland, but due to Ubuntu.

I recently revived a decade-old PC with a dual-boot setup: Windows 10 and Ubuntu 24.04. While Windows ran fine, Ubuntu was a nightmare—constant freezes, random logouts, and daily crashes.

After hitting my limit, I wiped Ubuntu and installed Debian. What a difference! It’s been months without a single crash. If you're struggling with stability on older hardware, Debian might be the "boring" (in a good way) solution you need.

> The lifespan of a laptop is not tied to a replaceable battery

This applies to me. My laptop is 10 years old, has 16G memory and is running Linux. I have replaced battery once before (and definitely need a new battery again now).

Edit: replace 9 years old with 10 years old

Same here. "just do X" is more informative that "do X" as it infers that "do X" is a simple thing. I would like to know that.

Also "just do X" infers that the person is very confident that "do X" will solve the issue. I like to get confident advice.
