I never said that OP shouldn’t do non-Uni activities. Just that time+effort has to be MANAGED between the two

I mean, obviously.

So if your only point is that time+effort needs to be managed between the two, what does that have to do with OP’s question? OP asking what their options are doesn’t mean they are neglecting to manage their time between the two.

Completely irrelevant to your prior point of “you’re at Uni to learn AND NOTHING ELSE!!!”

People live in the dorms, that is what they are for. Part of living is having down time.

As I understand it, people live in the dorms. Trying to focus on schoolwork 24/7 is an excellent way to burn yourself out and not graduate. Having down time for “non -essential activities” is important for mental health.

Is Musk doing anything to help people living in dictatorships access information? Or is this just happening in Brazil?

This is about Brazil, which is not a Dictatorship.

So as long as this one specific billionaire hasn’t had someone killed (that we know of) that makes it okay for that one individual to have complete control over what people have access to?

I don’t know why this wasn’t the case long ago.

“has enough time passed that we won’t get bad press for this?”

It’s okay, they sent out $10 gift cards for Uber Eats to apologize (that they immediately cancelled).

The guy who decided to start the battle increased ad revenue for a week so he got his bonus, that’s all that matters.
“I’ll glady tank YouTube’s revenue tomorrow for an extra dollar today.”

Can someone explain why the fuck Google is pushing this so hard? Generative AI is not a general intelligence, and useless for concrete facts. Google has already demonstrated how shitty it is for information, and the people with the knowledge to work on the project have to know this.

So why the fuck are they all full steam ahead on something that will always be useless for them?

ISPs can’t take your money if they cut off your internet

Even games without their own native compatibility for Linux Steam provides support for. I was able to run Doom Eternal from Steam without any issues, just had to find and turn on “enable Steam Linux support”.

A new challenger joins the battle in the Elon / Cloudstrike “ruin an established company any % speed run” challenge?

okay, you let me know how that goes.

That doesn’t answer how you would get everyone to go along with it. Every program with dates needs to be rewritten. I once again remind you the difficulty in getting rid of Daylight Savings time which requires effort on people to maintain and causes documented problems every year.

You also haven’t explained why this would be worth the hassle of doing so.

I did not say it would be difficult to develop a better system, I said it would be incredibly difficult to implement a better system.

How would you go about changing it and what would be the value in doing so?

I remind you about the difficulty we are currently having eliminating Daylight Savings which requires actual effort to maintain

There’s nothing scientific about February having 28 days, but it would be an unnecessary pain in the ass to change it at this point.

Someone is racing Elon in an “any % speed run to completely destroy an established companies credibility.”

The customization and software options I am currently using, I have been able to make 90% of it work with a rooted phone and a combination of many open source tools and more.

When I was using Windows I was able to get it to work 90% the way I wanted it to with a combination of open source tools, and help online disabling the bullshit. The point is I shouldn’t have to put that much effort fighting my OS to get it working the way I want it to.

With a Samsung phone maybe I can avoid their bullshit by rooting the phone and finding open source software, but I’d rather just go with a different company and not have the hassle.

stop dooming lmaooo.

“This company has shit business practices, you should use someone else” is not ‘dooming’.

People use devices that fit their needs.

Yes, and I’m pointing out why Samsung might not fit their needs in case they are unaware.
