No, power on/off is much worse for components than running due to the transients involved.

Windows is my daily driver and all my PCs run 24/7/52 unless they're sleeping while I commute with them πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

(I also run Linux, BSD, and macOS.)

True, but if server owner pulls the plug, all the content you have there is gone. They can also unilaterally delete your posts.

I guess my point is ownership isn't as important as control.

SoundCloud vapes content and entire accounts all the time.

Mine is fully backed up.

A Texas independence would not only violate the Constitution, it would sink the GOP in the remaining states due to the loss of Texas' electoral votes, thus ensuring a Republican president would never be elected again. This is the biggest reason Texas will never secede, regardless of the state's conservative nativism.

Each instance has complete control over what is posted on it. The only way to truly own your posts is to set up your own instance and interact only with communities on it.

I doubt the president who lives on the internet & relies on it to connect with his superfans would disable it.

Yeah I've done that before.

I can't imagine any law that would preclude the status quo, as Microsoft doesn't own a controlling stake in OpenAI anyway. It sounds like the FTC is picking its targets based on market cap only.

I gave Google Bard a list of books I read and enjoyed recently and asked it for some recommendations for other books I might enjoy.

That's an awesome idea! I'll try it.

 

Just wondering the above.
