Moreover, is it not the same water that enter the datacenter ?

I think that the Chernobyl disaster made much more psychological damages than real ones, in the long term.

Yep, but require much more space. And it could be not available when you need it.

The problem is that people don’t know or don’t care about a corporation selling their data.

Gemini for Home is Google’s biggest smart home play in years

For the next 3 to 4 years (if you will be lucky), then they will pass to something new and they will simply kill it, like they done with a lot of other projects.

But that means she’s not getting security updates and since she’s grandma she really needs them. On the other hand, if you’re automatically upgrading her Arch install then there will be breakage she is hopeless to fix.

True, but that would be the end result in any case where an update do something wrong or require some sort of manual intervention, it is not strictly tied to Arch. But you have a point here.

So what advantage does Arch offer grandma over a traditional release LTS distribution which will be nice and stable, not breaking or changing unexpectedly on her but still remaining current with security patches?

Only to have some newer software, but you can also update Arch every once in a while, the fact that it is a rolling release does not mean you need to update every day. The everything will depend on which distro normally uses the person who install the grandma machine

In my opinion also Arch is usable on grandma desktop.
True, it is a rolling release but I would suppose that on such machine there would not be that many packages installed and if the network is configured correclty (so nothing can connect from the outside) it would be not be a big problem, after all what grandma use is not updated on a daily basis.

Why not ? I suppose that as long as a browser (and whatever else she need) is working, my grandmother would not need much more. And I could also install a windows11 theme on KDE, if I really want to. A icon is a icon

And in the end I think that my grandmother would be able to mantain neither a window machine, so I don’t see the problem.

Carefull, this way even not looking at an ads positioned at the bottom of the page (or anyway not visible without scrolling) would mean to remove authorisation brought to you by ads.

Should we blame the old house builders for using asbestos?

Unequivocally, yes. Those shitheads knew or should have known. Don’t believe me? Here is a handy link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169500224003623

Do note the decades between when it was understood the shit was dangerous and when the decline as a building material happened.

I suppose he was referring to the ones that used it before it was understood.

And why not ? Care to explain ?

In a sane development model there is not any technical problem to do it.
