Well, hardware-designed dock station would work, sure. They don’t require any additional software. For example, for M1 MacBook Air with MacOS there are two options: HW docks would work out of the box, no software or tinkering needed. But you are limited with only one external display (Apple decided so). SW docks (DisplayLink) work great and give you multiple displays and stuff, but require drivers. And also after reboot you have to log in before dock can launch its software companion. Also, since it’s software, OS updates can cause malfunction and/or incompatibility. I expect situation be more or less the same with all OS.

That’s true for any OS though. DisplayLink dock is software dock and must have proper drivers installed to work.

While a nice addition to the meme, the stated is incorrect, according to the investigation from article.

Sorry for being that guy.

But we already have countries with free healthcare and education for citizens.

UBI experiments are also ongoing in many places and government programs are usually available at least for limited groups like disabled people, veterans, some unemployed, etc.

And less consumption-centric world would do much more good for these initiatives than further automation of low-level jobs, I think.

I think screenshots are kind of normalized already. They are detached from the original and we accept that we can’t alter those. Integration, however, is another thing as we can now define how in sync it should be. Anyway, even our chat is already proof of the point :-)

Yeah, I think in technical sense the best way is to retrieve the linked post as some package (ZIPped JSON, for example) and cache it for a while. And then check once in a while if the original has changed. So you can display latest available version of the original was removed.

However, this way sparks another conversation about if original author have a right to take his words back (remove/edit the post).

There is a potential problem with deleted posts, however. Basically, screenshot is less likely to be removed than post. Same issue as with leaving hyperlinks vs. copying content.
