No, you can accelerate and deccelerate. Only needs to unlock for gear changes.

Only in city would the torque converter spend an appreciable amount of time unlocked but then again, in the city you won't be moving fast either

Also all of them have locking torque converters so there is no energy loss at constant speed.
Also also, unless going upward at an incline. Most of the power requirements come from aerodynamic drag, not rolling friction of the trailer.

Yep, this is just instagram again with a little anti ai image filter on top. And a portfolio, not a photo album !

If it's not as interoperable as email, it belongs in the trash

If it makes tracking hard to impossible then its BASED
The end to end principle died in 1994, I'm sad too that we can't all be one happy family, but let it go.

Never saw one at costco or wallmart or staples.

Because that's 4% that is competition free. Not counting the majority of users who only need a browser and won't be able to tell the difference anyway. Just call it anything but linux, so they have useful search results if they have any problems.

I turn off UAC and defender too, those are basically spyware anyway. Even minimally competent should have no problem by just not downloading viruses and staying behind NAT.

Just turn off windows update. Security people are catastrophizing to justify their jobs, ignore their siren call.

What is stopping anyone from selling a laptop with linux on it and as little support as they do for windows ?

Yes, you get, tge few depictions tgat remain are either empty allusions to sex or grotesque, farcicsl refetences.the real thing is absent.
It ends at, largely inaccessible movies almost only about love and then nothing and then parody like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_qj8cSk38o&t=210

His only religion appears to be financial technofeudalism.
I guess the religious fundamentalists aren't lucrative enough for him to enforce their commandments.

So maybe just an old tradition that hasn't died out yet ? A sharp edged piece of societal flotsam that we're still dealing with ?

You make a good point, it"s definitly part of the outline of that social wound.

Some people are so fragile and the topic that they consider mere exposure as an attack or harrasement.

And whoever is most fragile seems to the decider for everyone, of what is forbidden.
