I think it’s valuable to make the distinction, whether it’s based on linux or not. Just like it’s valuable to make the distinction between unix and macOS.

Because despite all that sophistic nonsense, one of those allows an already too powerful corporation to extend its monopoly into the hardware realm, while reducing user agency.

Wasn’t it mostly ice?
I wouldn’t, the same way I wouldn’t lump the two Americas together.
Europe is a bit more hazy. What to do of Russia or Turkey?

Hm, the concept of Afroeurasia opens some interesting possibilities in extending the EU.

Eurasia is a single continent, the distinction between the two is cultural.

Annoying. Don’t let the industry autoregulate, it’s always lukewarm and ineffective.
Legislate. Ban underage gambling.
This is not a complicated issue, at all, the only barriers are lobbying and corruption.

Yes, but as I remember it, it’s not exclusive to that lake.

I don’t know much honestly, I know of them because of some friends living in Peru.

You can look up Uru (or Uro) people.
Basically it was their take on the castle and moat.
The islands are made of some sort of cane, and have to be maintained regularly, it’s very labor intensive.

It’s one of the many cultures there that are at a crossroads, since they have to choose a way between their traditional lifestyle and the comfort of modernity. Knowing that tourism can bring them an order of magnitude more money that what they can make locally, at the risk of becoming actors, maybe.

Some Peruvian indigenous people actually live on man made floating islands (on lakes, not at sea).

They can fingerprint your browser and (very) probably your hardware, along with ip, location, and other leaked data, allowing them to reliably identify you whether you’re logged in or not.
At this point, it’s more of a symbolic protest.

They’ll stop anything out of the ordinary.

Relatable.

I don’t see a scenario where google or the likes would be allowed to fail. So moot point.

Hypothetically it would open a window for open source services to sneak in.

Middle term? The phasing out of personal computers, and moving toward a system of servers/terminals where noone owns software.
You’ll rent computing power or storage space, you’ll only pay for the interface.

Technology Acceptance Model? Television Audience Measurement? Total Available Market?

What’s illegal information?

He’s very unthreatening at least.

Because front page wasn’t user generated anymore.

No to be too much of a downer, but I see it happening the other way around.
Things available to the middle class that will be reserved to the wealthy. Like house owning, swimming pools, cars, plane travel, maybe even personal computers.

Idgi, I’ve been using arch based distros for a few years and I’ve yet to break my system.
