Now that so many things we use every day have computers in them, many causes of death are related to computers.

Many modern cars (especially electric cars) are basically computers that drive; cars kill many people. The same applies to planes. Software bugs in medical software might cause you to receive improper care, which could kill you. Computers might control a lock which might lock you in a room until you die of dehydration or starvation.

The instance you are imagining will inevitably be inundated with the output of spambots. You don't want a completely unmoderated instance because it will just not be an enjoyable place (even for you! even for people who have no problem with getting exposed to "hate speech"!) to hang out on.

I think lemm.ee defederates from very little, that is the closest I know of, but I see that that's already where you are, so I can't help you much more than that.

KDE is a community of developers.

KDE Plasma is the desktop environment made by the KDE community.

This has been the correct terminology since 2009, much longer than "the past year or so", but a lot of people do still call KDE Plasma just "KDE" colloquially, so maybe you have just been noticing people using the correct terminology more recently.

 

It was great until my thumb slipped and I accidentally launched my telescope into the air at Mach 8.

I was once asked to not post within a few seconds. Since then I've made a habit of waiting a few minutes between posts, since then I've not gotten any complaints.

Me too. More than once on a language learning subreddit for my first language: "I asked ChatGPT whether this was correct grammar in German, it said no, but I read this counterexample", then everyone correctly responded "why the fuck are you asking ChatGPT about this".

Which "bunch of people"? Question is way too vague to answer meaningfully, there are many people who have one reason or another to hate Wikipedia.

It struggles a little with complex positions, like when there are an even number of moves and it has to round down, but when run against itself it's capable of finding some novelties. At one point I saw six knights on the board at once; Stockfish rarely exceeds four.
