This product especially because it combines the compatibility issues of RISC-V and the compatibility issues of a fully touchscreen device. If you don't know your way around compiling apps yourself or how X/Wayland works, you're going to have a bad time. Also, from my experience with a laptop/tablet convertible, the vast majority of Linux GUI apps outside of the ones built into KDE/Gnome have no idea how to respond to touch inputs, namely dragging and scrolling.

So what happens if you don't pay? If it's a literal tax, that means it's a crime to evade it right?

IMO getting the government to enforce a church tithe is an overreach. The church should deal with that themselves and the most they should be allowed to do under a secular legal system is ban you from the church.

Or if the government doesn't care whether you actually pay it or not, my entire premise for having a problem with this doesn't apply in which case I stand corrected.

Also, isn't getting infected just from a link not really possible anymore? Unless your browser/OS is horribly outdated and has documented RCE vulnerabilities? And I doubt you'd find state actor level zero days just out in the internet.

First, I'd say it depends on the rumour. But in general for a sufficiently serious rumour:

Being "wrong about me" wouldn't be the thing I'm pissed about. Anyone can assume the worst of anyone else, god knows I've done more than my fair share of that. But to spread a rumour goes above and beyond in level of malice. They showed that they, 1, didn't care whether what they were saying was the truth or not, 2, didn't care how it would affect me if they were wrong, and 3, are willing to ruin someone else's social standing to improve their own since that's usually why people spread rumors. Without further context to the contrary, these are systemic traits of a horrible person and strongly suggest they'll do it again no matter how sorry they say they are.

If you’re a member of a religious community that delegates collecting tax to the state

What the actual fuck?

I'm not even strictly anti AI art. But I absolutely hate the argument that AI makes art more "accessible" or "affordable" (it was accessible/affordable before, you were just too lazy to find artists at your price range) or "reduces the barrier to entry of becoming an artist" (by which they mean you don't actually have to learn how to make art to make it, as if that's a good thing).

I especially hate the animosity AI artists and AI art enjoyers have toward actual artists. Portraying them as pretentious, profit driven, judgmental, etc.

Except there are artists available at all price ranges. Usually with the expensive ones you're paying for experience and/or prestige. There are less experienced/prestigious artists that will gladly take your $60 commission.

Also, art isn't a necessity. It is a luxury and by definition always will be, especially custom art commissioned by you. The stance of the people behind AI art is founded on the notion that you need art so it can benefit from automation in the same way food does. But you don't need art. It's the capstone of Maslow's pyramid. If you're at a level of privilege where art starts seeming like a necessity, you can afford $260 for it.

Anything less than sanctions and total economic boycott is a stalling tactic aimed at allowing the genocide to finish.

This is no different from if the police show up to a drug house, and one of the residents stands in the doorway opining about how horrible it is that drugs were discovered at their home and how morally bankrupt the illicit drug trade is, in order for their buddy to finish flushing their stash. Except it's even less subtle when countries do it.

They get paid to kill, not prevent killing.

People in this thread: BUT WHAT ABOUT LIFE EXPECTANCY?!?!

Bro you really want to argue life expectancy in favour of the ideology that argues whether curing a patient is makes business sense?

Your long life expectancy is thanks to science, which has existed for a far greater percentage of human history. To argue it's because of capitalism is dumb as hell.

Also life expectancy took a nosedive when the Soviet Union fell. Wonder why.

Parrots' ability to mimick not just birds but other animals have been known for ages and is one of the things that define the taxon. I'm sure the first person to hear them repeat human speech was surprised but knew what was going on.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

It's one of the ways they socialize: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gds1qIV1oiE

But people who own parrots have been actively rewarding mimicking speech since probably the beginning. That's how you get parrots to say different things depending on what they want.

Except humans trained them to talk.

FOOD PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION SHOULD BE TREATED AS UTILITIES. You can't live without water, you can't live without food.

I did 97 meth deals ($45 each).

That's $4365 in passive income.

I don't even have any meth and just gave them sugar crystals.

Don't make these sweeping generalizations!

Just because I don't support Israel doesn't mean there isn't something wrong with me as a person! /s
