Here's a quarter, kid.
Buy yourself a real operating system.
I think that this is really a data center spending ceasefire to delay the bubble popping rather than these companies suddenly growing a sense of responsibility.
Induced demand is plainly a theory with lots of holes. It sees no utility in moving any greater number of people the same distance in the same amount of time, according to induced demand theory that's a complete waste. If induced demand were true, Japan's Wangan should be clogged with traffic instead of empty enough for ultra-high-speed street racing, and China's highways to newly-built empty towns should probably be full of traffic for some reason too.
The best debunking of the idea I've run across comes from a libertarian blog, which is a strong hint that the argument likely has holes, but it appears far more airtight than the idea it's debunking: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cato.org%2Fblog%2Fdebu...
Came here to see if any medical experts had any opinions on how snake-oily this sounds. My limited biology education says "extremely."
They're a minority, but there absolutely are people who are tired of democracy because it keeps thwarting their massively unpopular ideas, and they're well-represented in the Trump administration:

If that were a roadblock to creative legal reinterpretation, the US would still be following a 1790s-1960s interpretation of the 2nd amendment today.
There's a loophole in the 22nd amendment you forgot about that Trump is aware of, the vice-presidential switcheroo:

The automative vs. augmentive distinction that AI companies and the ownership class want you to believe in is nonsense meant to keep the working class calm as their job opportunities dwindle away. The only difference between them is a quantity threshold. Augmentive means multiplying the number of jobs available by a number greater than zero but less than one (as fewer people can do the same work), automative means multiplying the number of jobs available by zero. Both mean jobs are lost, the only difference is how many remain.
If you install Termux on your Android phone or tablet you get a pretty functional terminal/command line.
I use it for for vim and ssh and mutt (email client) and rsync and so on. Even sc-im, which is a very nice spreadsheet.
There's also a way to use Termux to run X11 programs but I've never tried that myself since the phone screen is too damn small.
This could be my next phone but has two big problems I see immediately. No earpiece so you can't, you know, hold it up to your ear and make calls like on a normal phone, you either need to have a bluetooth earpiece at all times or use speakerphone. The other thing I don't like is the Blackberry-like form factor. Nothing beats or comes close to the landscape slider layout. That said if it's open-source hardware I could at least potentially mod up a landscape slider version with an earpiece.
Old "people" generally live off of their pensions and from money they saved during the years they were working.
They're suppose to pay what they would otherwise have paid to OSS to store their data. So I think the only extra money they're out will be the legal fees. Which isn't nothing but I guess that's the cost of not doing proper and accessible backups.
The article says, "He also ordered Nine PBS to defend and indemnify Iron Mountain should other data be corrupted in the process of retrieving its archival materials."
So the answer to your question appears to be yes.
