Can't wait for people to buy two of these sets, take the real RAM sticks and refund the two fake ones in one package. There's no way the seller is going to manually check every returned stick.
Quickest way for this idea to die a horrible death.

does tahoe 26.3 protect against this?

Because they aren't. They enable almost all economic activity that involves moving things or people around.
Objectively they are not profitable. If you count gas taxes that are collected, we're only covering about a quarter of the cost to maintain them.
Roads are not generating direct revenue, which is how you determine profit. There's no model where roads are profitable.
Additionally, we've been moving goods and services by rail for approximately two centuries in the United States - long before a car was on a road. Roads are not a requirement to move goods around.
Rush hour is more of a problem than people will admit; the biggest issue with public transit (in general) is that it is horribly "unprofitable" (for whatever you want that to be) except curing crush-time.
At the extremes, a bus (or worse, a train) with one driver and one passenger is obviously worse than one person in a car.
But transportation is not Car vs the World™ no matter how many people (online) want it to be. It's a question of "how do you get people where they want/need to be". And that is a multi-faceted question with complex solutions - and the car will be part of it except in extreme/absurd situations that are so rare as to be ignored (like the "islands with no cars" (they have cars) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_car-free_islands).
One of the best ways to discuss transportation is to NOT do "r/fuckcars" which makes everyone defensive and hate you, but instead talk about how the benefits are for everyone - grade separation of rail is nice, but it's also self enforcing (trains will crush cars). But grade separation for bikes and pedestrians is a win for everyone! Cars don't like bikes next to them, and bikes don't like being next to cars. Cars don't mind driving a few miles out of their way, but pedestrians just don't want to deviate from the crow-flight line unless rabidly enforced.
How come nobody ever points out that roads are “unprofitable”?
> Great points -- thanks for contributing to the discussion.
Again, like my other comment, I'm not being snarky - but it feels weird and inauthentic to be thanked for contributing to the discussion, and sounds like you ran my comment through ChatGPT as well and asked it to post a response.
But the end result indeed sounds like more than just a trivial app, so I am genuinely impressed it's working well. (I'd love to see how long it would take another team of engineers, or another single engineer I guess, to re-create with the same functionality.)
I'm not entirely convinced that this entire thing isn't an experiment at throwing a complete dev / release cycle at some AI engine in some sort of weird marketing ploy.
"See, we built, announced and marketed an entire piece of software from our CLI prompt!"
Good gravy.
Yes you're right, most users LOVE barebones and classic websites, that's why HN is so popular and Reddit hardly has any users.
For that matter, do we really need colors? Just ship it with browser default styles.
I hear your snark, but Reddit isn't exactly a beauty contest winner.

I propose we just yeet one of them and see if the rest clean up their act.
Is there something to suggest that they would actually be good at their jobs if they were to be better motivated? I’m not seeing it.
Those of us that use KDE don't necessarily broadcast it
Why? KDE is awesome.
I use KDE Plasma both at home and at work (software dev), it's stable and works well. I have a colleague who does the same with Ubuntu's GNOME.
What about the Linux desktops do you find incompetent?
Agreed. I’ve been using Kubuntu and have loved it.
