The term originally meant things like free market economies, being able to vote, implementing civil liberties like ending slavery and serfdom.

Modern day it has different meanings depending on which country you’re talking about.

Mostly gig job type things. If you’re in a very low income country something like mturk might not be awful. Lots of demand for AI training data labeling these days - this is work like drawing a box around a dog in a picture so a model can be trained on what dogs are. The pay is very low though because anyone can do it so it attracts lots of people from poor countries.

If you’re not in a low income country then you need to be highly skilled so you can get things like programming or art gigs - I’ve heard of people doing those but I don’t know the websites offhand.

The other option is stuff like stock market trading or crypto (ie gambling).

But yes, I’d assume the things people promote are all scams.

AWS has some kind of ground station service. I imagine it’s expensive though

Imo the theme is questions that you’re slightly embarrassed to ask because you think you should already know it. Thinly disguised rants, sea lioning, and fetish exploration (yes I’ve seen that here) don’t qualify.

Basically a lot of the posts here are in bad faith and hide behind the same premise OP is pushing.

The way they’ve phrased it makes it sound like they think they’re sticking it to liberal states or something.

Yeah, they’re intentionally being misleading about it. The regulation is that those states require disclosure, and they don’t want to comply

Good point, sounds like a good thing for most people

NT was built to be a business OS, and the original Windows was killed off for everyone in favor of NT with XP

UAC can be configured to require a password, just like sudo can be required to not require a password. These things function the same on Windows and Linux.

We live in a society

Yeah, I’m really starting to get tired of this community being used as a dumping ground for every random question.

Yeah, would be more interesting to list the outliers that aren’t better in the fridge.

When that whole thing started up Nazis seemed a lot less “real” imo. I liked it better when they occupied a similar space as pirates and ninjas…

They got a bunch of aid back in the 90s fwiw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s_North_Korean_famine

I haven’t seen it, was James Bond dead or something so his code name got given away?

Tbh doesn’t look awful

And the first ones would have been done using more primitive computers, and those by hand. There’s indeed a whole bootstrapping problem here where you need the tech to make the tech. You see this with other tech like compliers where new versions of compilers are compiled using the old versions of the same compilers.

Oh wow, such amazing content we’re going to list /s

Unfortunately there are a lot of stupid questions here that are stupid because they don’t actually fit the theme of “something you’re kind of embarrassed to ask”. A lot of them, like this one, aren’t even actually questions - they’re just thinly veiled rants

I thought it was fine with him?
