Wow. I was today years old when I learnt about the "echo". The anti-Semitic world is weird. Incidentally trying to find out what the three parentheses meant with a search engine was impossible, I ended up having a very nice chat with my friend GPT.

That's quite a high bar. Can you give a Windows or Mac laptop to your elderly neighbour and not also provide them support?

I realise that I am only a sample set of one and my mother and father have very different usage patterns but they are both in their late 70s. My mother has an Ubuntu laptop and my father had a Windows one. He requires a lot more support. My mum's biggest issue is forgetting her password which is hardly the fault of the OS.

Edit: to be clear I'm not necessarily agreeing with the OP. I have no opinion on the needs of "most users".

Unfortunately, for a lot of non-tech savy people, the options often boil down to this kind of shit or being part of a botnet within a few days.

Yes! I hope this is a trend that continues. I remember this being quite confusing as a new Python developer. I was convinced there was something special about these kinds of camel cased methods.

While I agree it is a bit of an unfortunate name the news site does appear to be a pretty reliable source. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/electronic-intifada/

Not even a mention of PyO3?

I think they used a slightly lossy algorithm on the title.
