There’s a whole range of cli tools to extract and query structured data like that, but you might consider loading it into something like sqlite3 and treating it as a database because those formats are really not intended for queries, they’re designed for sharing data.

For some workloads it’s true that you can do the heavy lifting on a more powerful remote machine and transport the results back to an endpoint device like a phone. Websites are a good relatable example of that, as are services like YouTube.

It’s not universally applicable for many activities that computers are involved with, data analysis, record keeping, simulations and a myriad of other processes.

Blurring of the lines between these different orders of magnitude is made possible by faster and faster networks, but that’s physically not able to beat processing done inside a single device.

The more powerful we make computers, the more complex problems we use them for. I suspect that this is unlikely to change as computers evolve.

One of the fundamental differences between phones, laptops, desktops, and beyond is size. While that sounds obvious, it also means that the amount of processing within the device is constrained by that size.

The constraints relate to how much energy can be used by each device and more importantly, how much cooling is available for the system.

It means that there’s a physical limit on how much work each device can do without being unusable.

While miniaturization is a factor, it’s not linear and you can only get so small before you fail.

So, depending on what you want to do in any given time, the device you use will dictate what’s physically possible.

This is a lesson that the religious fundamentalists currently running the USA have weaponised.

There is a lot of hype in this article and precious little in the way of verifiable facts.

Does anyone have any links to something more credible?

I work in ICT. Leaving Gmail is much easier said than done. It has the best spam filtering bar none and integrates with a whole host of other services that I use daily, like the mobile phone I’m writing this on for example, the one that integrates my calendar, tasks, contacts, photos, websites, YouTube channel, spreadsheets and, oh yeah … that other thing … Gmail.

So, if wishing made it so.

What I’d like is a Google Workspace tier that is entirely without AI.

Oh … you’re a dick … thanks for self identifying.

1. I’ve been here for almost six decades.
2. I don’t know what the topic of “procreation genetics” means outside this thread where I was attempting to answer OP’s question and put those two words in sequence to explain myself.
3. I think that life has an imperative to procreate and has done so since it started.
4. Life, as we currently know it, appears to revolve around genetics.
5. I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

I’m guessing that being gay doesn’t turn off the part that’s looking for a beautiful mate.

I’m pretty sure that it boils down to successful procreation genetics. As in, the more attractive you are the bigger the selection of mates you have access to. It’s been happening for as long as life has existed here.

No doubt this has across history been heavily distorted by culture, art and religion and in more recent times by fashion, marketing, advertising and media.

These are job titles I’ve actually used:

• Brain for Hire
• Elephant header
• Janitor
• Troubleshooter

Over the past 25+ years I’ve worked for myself and whilst doing the exact same job, fixing complex ICT problems for my clients I’ve had to complete job title fields in countless corporate forms.

It’s fun to interact with colleagues who get the joke and hilarious when they don’t.

Or you just block them.

I will note that in my experience the bot army from META is by far the most aggressive and destructive. At one point, traffic from their systems was tenfold all the others combined.

Hmm … I confess that I really appreciate and enjoy the company of the neighbours all around me … although there is one … let me work on that …

Very cute … I don’t even have space for the little rodent, let alone a distant cousin ten times its size.

I’m guessing that you’d need a big backyard for either … so I’m out.

I’m guessing in the same way as Bit Torrent and others before it … with big flaming headlines, politicians foaming at the mouth, lawyers rubbing their hands with glee and the world for the general public becoming a little bit more shit whilst the actual miscreants carry on with impunity on some other platform or get funded by venture capitalists who make everything legal but no less palatable.

Pretty sure that they already shared it with copilot, so I’m guessing that it’s only a matter of time until everyone has a copy…

I’m not familiar with how many telephones in Spain are landlines, but looking at Australia, where I am, the majority of connections don’t have an SLA battery, made even more power dependent because we have been rolling out fibre optic cable everywhere and the copper wire in the ground has been disconnected, preventing telephone exchanges from powering much of anything anymore.

The idea that generators will keep the essentials running is incomplete if not outright incorrect. Most of these systems have never been actually tested with an actual outage, look at Heathrow airport for a recent example.

At best a generator will run for up to 12 hours, and only if you have multiple generators and the fuel to run them will you have much in the way of energy security.

Of course if you’re already running on a generator then the picture is different, but even then, in the case of a country wide power outage, getting fuel for longer periods of time is going to be a challenge.
