There are already lots of models in the 7B and 14B ranges that are quite capable and run on commodity hardware. What makes this one so special?

Someone who is buying a MacBook with the minimum specs probably isn’t the same person that’s going to run out and buy another one to get one specific feature in Xcode. Not trying to defend Apple here, but if you were a developer who would care about this, you probably would have paid for the upgrade when you bought it in the first place (or couldn’t afford it then or now).

There should be a penalty for prosecutors who torture people to force them to make false confessions. This man had his entire adult life taken from him, so maybe premeditated murder would be a reasonable charge. Those bastards are likely dead by now, but even so they should be tried posthumously. And every case they ever worked on should be re-tried since they were not honest people and any evidence they produced cannot be trusted.

Edit: if they presented this information in a court under oath, add perjury to the list of charges

This seems like a win for privacy. Modern cars collect a creepy amount of data often without the users knowledge or the ability to opt out. This article makes it seem like some car manufacturers are no longer selling the data, but I’m not sure how true that is.

This is stupid and it’s right on Trumps level. It’s the perfect way to do persuade him.

Most people shouldn’t self host. It’s a hobby for people who want to do it, and there are benefits, but spending 3 hours on a weekend fixing stuff is not how most people wish to spend their time. Furthermore, it’s not a good use of most people’s time. We split labor up into specialties, forcing people to do work outside their specialty causes pointless inefficiency. I agree with what other commenters have said in that a better approach would be to have more small businesses hosting federated together, and anyone not inclined to self host should just purchase service through one of those many small providers instead.

Is there any point at which the US would allow international pressure to end this genocide? When does it become strategically disadvantageous?

All blocking porn in the states will do is push users to sites hosted in the EU/Russia/Brazil/etc. Probably with even fewer safety checks or regulations.

A non-disruptive protest just gets ignored. You need to impact people’s daily lives to make them think why the problem arose in the first place.

“War” isn’t really a fitting word for committing genocide against unarmed civilians for being the wrong ethno-religious group on land you intend to steal.

I'm glad nebula exists as a good alternative for educational content. It has successfully replaced much of the time I previously spent on YouTube.

Endeavor seems like a better option. The majaro devs don't seem particularly trustworthy as OS devs, mainly because they hold back security updates as a policy and have allowed things like ssl certs to lapse multiple times. Endeavor gets you the benefits Manjaro provides without the nonsense.
