@mikeolson There is plenty of case law (more so than every single proprietary license!).

>> The pope has called repeatedly for a ceasefire in the ⁠Iran war. On Sunday he called the conflict a "scandal to the whole human family."

Quite a useless statement ... astounded that someone even spent time on this.

@avishek3 Simply not true, you essentially rebooted the machine each time you logged out cause you didn’t want garbage in the memory from the previous user. And that took about 20 minutes.

@hart wind is more expensive, not nuclear. Get your facts straight. Even in whatever generations, the residue energy from nuclear rods can be reused. It is also one of the safest forms of energy production, environmentally.
