India is one of the countries widely known to be a hub for social media bots.

India has also always required buyers to submit their government IDs to buy SIM cards.

So how do they do it? Do all Internet connections require SIMs?

US government already decided for you, sorry.

People see him living a lifestyle without the "necessary" vices they have gotten accustomed to in their own, and it confuses them. They can't conceive the notion that a man can still be perfectly happy and abundant without those Pavlovian indulgences, because they have never known a world without them.

I agree. I feel that the more we start looking into human enhancement and "fighting against death" we will explore hitherto unknown balances and equilibria in our bodies and nature that may prove to be destructive if disturbed.

When we age after reaching peak adulthood, for example, we see that our bodies lose their strength and our brains dull down. We aren't as ambitious and energetic anymore and get more lethargic. This understandably leads to everyone dreading it and getting up in arms against it (as with Bryan Johnson et al), but what if all this "decline" is actually an innate adaptive defense mechanism to handle and cope with the volume of experience we accumulate over the years? What if our bodies deteriorating as we get old actually has a neglected reason behind it that pertains to the individual too, not just nature? If we were to hypothetically make someone immortal, and if that immortal human were left in the real current world to live out without ageing, what if they actually miss something very crucial to help cope with environments that no longer grow in sync with themselves and eventually become something non-human?

Eastern notions of non-duality - especially Laozi and the Dao - could be useful in these thought experiments. They point out that life and death are not opposites but are states of the same being, and if you were to remove one (death), you'll automatically cease the other (life) from existing.

The T-rex appears taller than the giraffe, but it isn't and the scale in the website itself shows it.

Hey, if they originated naturally and interact with the environment and reproduce, they are living beings. Mere human taxonomists can't just "classify" away the fact.

You are doing the same classification. It all depends on the definition of what a living being is.

Are crystalline structures alive?

The one that destroyed Data's planet was, I'd say.

MRS GREN would like to have a word with you :)

How is this "forward deployed engineers" model different from that of basically any tech consulting firm?

It isn't.

Do you have any solid sources for the "huge swath" of people being enabled by this to migrate from Windows to Linux?

The only thing that will enable people to migrate is third-party app support; no matter how good Linux distros get it's all moot if the software users use every day doesn't support it.

No. Source is me. I am the anecdata. shrug It absolutely can be wrong, but to me the pattern is relatively clean. Most of the converts I have seen thus far were Windows holdouts.

At 6.31GB this distro's ISO is even fatter than Windows's!

None of the points listed in the website are convincing enough to make it an "ultimate workstation"
