How would the students fare if they had access to all the information available on the internet, used to train the AI, during the test?

In my home pc, I don't use sudo because my wife is the main user, and in the ultra rare occasion I need to be root in the command line (for example, if she didn't update packages from the GUI for long, I'll update but I like aptitude better), then I use su. It's a LTS 18.04 Kubuntu btw. Real users don't need root. Distro hoppers and tinkerers (nothing wrong with it) do.

On servers, I also use su. I ssh as a normal user (root ssh is usually disabled), then often immediately su, as if I'm logging into the server, it's for root work. I sometimes su - down to some specific "service" user to do that user's tasks (such as git on a gitlab server, or ndbadm on a HANA DB server).

I only tinker with sudo if I want to create users that will have one single purpose, which needs root permissions, such as restarting a service. In this case that user will be in the sudoers file, with permission for a single script or command, and often that command will be its default shell in /etc/passwd, and someone can ssh (pre shared key) to trigger it if necessary.

PS: It happened sometimes that I was given a user with full sudo permissions to do root work in someone else's server, but no root password. Then the first thing I do after logging in is "sudo su -" :-)

shhh... criticizing anything Lula or Bolsonaro says summons one of their armies of zealots...

I was going to say that it was a too optimistic expectation, with the never ending push for electric cars.

Then I read the article, and it starts with

Spiraling energy prices and economic slowdowns in European economies are mainly accountable for the decrease in demand.

So it's actually very pessimistic.

Well, naturally. Wait to see what happens when it reaches puberty.

I need a leave for my pap exam.

Denied.

Why?

You're a man.

Luckily there are only as many different barrel plugs as there are imperial units. /s

Good luck ;-)

As it has been mentioned, it's a barrel plug, but there are dozens of barrel plugs of different sizes, some even have the same outer size but the receptacles for the central pin have different diameters.

Check the polarity and voltage, and try to measure the diameters if you're buying online.

If you're buying locally, take the lamp with you and ask for advice to the seller.

On twitter, facebook, etc you follow people. Then the algorithm creates a bubble where you only get opinions and points of views you "like".

On reddit and lemmy you follow subjects. Then you get a wider range of opinions and points of views about subjects you like.

One type creates celebrity "influencers" and polarization of opinions. The other doesn't.

I really, really hope it stays that way.
