They’re being run by accountants, and one thing accountants hate is paying people to do a job, its always “far easier” just to pay a company for that.

I’m not the least bit surprised considering I didn’t know this event existed until articles started popping up.

How do you figure, I haven’t seen the actual text, is it written ambiguously? If not, I would imagine that they be able to enforce it, the only thing is the scope is very small.

Has anyone been able to find the text of the law, the article didn’t mention the penalties, I want to know if this actually means anything.

Edit: I found a website that says the penalty follows 5000*sum(n+k) where n is number of days since first infraction, this has a closed form of n^2+n= (7500^-1)y where y is the total compounded fee. This makes it cost 1mil in 11 days and 1bil in a year.

There was a link in the article about that, it was saying that they are just requiring self reporting, I don’t know the political context in California, but it seems like you wouldn’t push this and then turn around and try the id thing, but I am by no means an expert at predicting the idiocracy of politicians.

What area do you live in that reticulum has enough coverage to remove the dependency on cell service

Based upon your wording, I am assuming your father is not particularly tech savvy, if this is the case first and foremost you should be picking a distro that is maintained by a large group of trustworthy developers, this removes the niche distros from the running. Secondly, since he isn’t going to want to learn the terminal, you should be picking a distro that installs programs with a GUI package manager or flatpak manager, this removes the likes of arch, gentoo, & open suse tumbleweed. Thirdly, you will want a distro that is based on one you understand well enough to run tech support, I don’t know which that is for you, if it is Debian based stick with mint, fedora based go with fedora workstation or fedora KDE, if it is opensuse I don’t have any recommendations sorry.

After you select the distro you need to educate your dad that he should only be getting new programs through the package manager, and I would either tell him the inherit insecurity of some flatpaks or remove flathub from your mirror list unless there is something he really needs in which case you need to do your research.

In general security on Linux is a lot more active for IT than it is for Windows, but for the general user if they can get by using a well known distro’s repos you shouldn’t have any security issues.

If you are overly worried you could add apparmor to the system to isolate the system from programs or pick an immutable distro like bazzite, but in general the immutables are smaller teams which is why I don’t prefer them.

why should we use renewables to produce hydrogen (not to mention develop an entirely new hydrogen infrastructure) when we could just use that renewable energy as it is? That’s just adding extra steps and inefficiency for very little benefit, if any.

Because hydrogen isn’t trying to replace the source of energy, it is trying to replace the storage of it, at present batteries are not nearly good enough for the EV only transportation boom, but hydrogen works and only really needs to deal with the volatility issue

You seem to be a bit more advanced than I am, I have only ever used kritas version of smart objects, & perspective distort, but I don’t know about the others you mentioned.

The only one I’m aware of requires a GPU with 6Gb of vram, which sadly I do not have, I would very much like a background removal utility that is run locally

Don’t forget krita, as far as I am concerned they have feature parity with Photoshop, so long as you have no interest in ai features

I would much rather over tune the fine than make it a cost of doing business, in general accountants think backwards to most people and they won’t tell the higher ups to change anything until it really affects the bottom line.

I’m not sure we should be looking to them for pointers, but it could be as easy as sha256 public and private keys, that’s already much better

Is there anything special about this platform, or is the only appeal to stick it to the man. Is there some special vetting process, is there a bias tracker; I guess I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just search for the news in your preferred browser and search engine

It would be far better to say the party that is bought and sold by corporations

Putin & Trump
