And they make most of the stuff we buy, including the climate emissions involved in making them.

Right now things are getting worse in that regard, not better

I never felt that, we spent a lot more time partying than stressing about exams.

I have not really made lifetime friends there either but I'm not a team player. If I were in the military everyone would hate me (like they did when I was forced to play team sports at school).

Yes though you can easily install kde on normal Ubuntu.

Yeah I think it's just a way to try and extract some money from the ecosystem.

But many people will never pay for Linux and it's even causing people to move away (eg to Mint which removes snap)

Perhaps it makes sense in the enterprise market though. They're always trying to push launchpad to us at work and I'm sure this will integrate with snap. But launchpad doesn't work for us because it only works with Ubuntu. So it's just a non starter for us, we have more distros to support. Sure Ubuntu is the biggest in our environment but we want a single pane of glass for everything. More similarities between distros would make that a lot easier.

Yes also due to a huge increase in regulation. Which makes sense with the capability of some of these things, don't get me wrong. But it's no longer a fun hobby.

And the one I had was more of a toy than a real one with kilometers of range

> Second, there are possible paths to have a winnable nuclear war, actually, the US did have one a couple of decades ago and it won.

Well yeah because at that time they were the only one who had a nuclear bomb. That situation didn't last long.

I think it's really great that it's such a taboo, otherwise these things would be used a lot, incurring all sorts of pollution, mass casualties and chances to escalate. It's a good thing that these have not been used since WWII though I do think their existence as a deterrent has brought us a bit more peace.

What did they sell? A bit of everything?

Did you hear anything similar about the Frame? That's the one I'm really interested in.

<thinks about activities during college> ehhhh I think before college would be highly preferable lol.

Though I've never had nor wanted kids in the first place anyway.

I know :( I don't have the patience for video content.

But in this case it seems to be an event (CCC) recording so it makes more sense.

It won't be the only solution that can do this by the way. Many airplane WiFi services block WhatsApp and telegram calls.

I think they just look at the traffic shape. Real-time traffic requires a lot of constant similar sized traffic per second, rather than texting or images which is much more bursty.

It won't be as easy as that because you can generate a private key multiple times and notice it's the same.

However yes a very limited entropy in the private key is much harder to detect especially because on this kind of device you can't see the private key directly.
