And attach it to a laptop how? Some compact laptop models sold in 2018, such as the Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series, max out at 4 GB of internal RAM. Would it be practical to buy a USB RAM drive for use as swap,/tmp, and bcache?

You have identified what appears to be a correlation between lack of breastfeeding and an interest in non-mainstream PC operating systems later in life. Correlation does not imply causation, but it does imply that someone ought to research the common cause.
So what might be the common cause of the two? Is it parenting style? Some missing nutrient in infant formula? Some hereditary disability that leads to both failure to lactate and interest in information technology? A brief Google Search session dug up a demonstrated correlation between bottle feeding and autism, and elsewhere there is a correlation between highest-functioning (Asperger-type) autism and IT interest.
I never meant anything as a "percent of video". Slashdot limits the length of comment subjects, and I thought the comment body would clarify that I meant "45 percent [of all North American Internet traffic is] paywalled video already in 2015". So in light of my failure to communicate, I'll switch from conversational language to rigorous language for a moment.
The traffic mix from Sandvine's survey of North American Internet traffic in 2015 is as follows:
45 percent is four major paywalled video sites (Netflix iTunes, Amazon Video, Hulu)
55 percent comprises non-paywalled sites, paywalled non-video (such as newspaper and journal articles and paid Steam game downloads), and minor paywalled video sites (such as erotic paysites and individual TV channels' sites)
In order for the majority of traffic to be paywalled, the mix would have to be as follows (hypothetical):
45 percent is four major paywalled video sites
5 percent or more is other paywalled traffic (non-video and minor video sites)
50 percent or less is non-paywalled traffic
Thus the sum of paywalled non-video and minor paywalled video sites would need to exceed 5 percent of all traffic or (equivalently) 10 percent of non-paywalled traffic. I lack statistics as to whether this is the case. But text-based sites, such as Slashdot, Reddit, and Hacker News, probably contribute a lot less to traffic than video does.
Or are you arguing that eyeball minutes, not gigabytes transferred, is the appropriate metric of Internet usage?
if it won't properly deliver content in such a text browser, they will also suck from a search engine perspective
When was this last tested? Last I checked, Google both operated a web search engine and published a web browser supporting JavaScript. Also last I checked, Google Search indexed JS-only websites. I wonder if these are related.
and probably from the usability side too
At least the accessibility side of usability has this covered. Karl Groves, the author of Mother Effing Tool Confuser, has explained that assistive web browsers nowadays run JavaScript.
There are plenty of games out there that ARE getting made by responsible game developers. We'll just play one of those instead of the half-assed pile of shit that would doubtless require endless patches [...] Customers don't pay you so that you can make something. They pay you so that they can get a product.
It appears you're defining "a product" as something that requires no service after the sale, even across a huge variety of end users' PCs. How do "responsible game developers" find the money to cause "a product" to come into existence in the first place?
Netflix is paywalled. In 2015 it boasted 37 percent of Internet traffic in North America according to Sandvine. The same article states that iTunes, Hulu, and Amazon Video were tied at 3 percent each, for a total of 45 percent. This didn't change much in Sandvine's 2017 survey, though Hulu and Amazon Video declined to 2 percent each.
Nintendo has used that sort of cross-play as a plot point. Super Mario Adventures, a graphic novel first serialized across 12 issues of Nintendo Power in 1992, has an arc where Luigi and Peach swap outfits. Scenes in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Super Mario Odyssey call back to this swap.
Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution describes the process in broad strokes. Two thirds of state legislatures can compel Congress to hold "a convention for proposing amendments". It doesn't specify which delegates shall participate in such a convention; it could be governors, state legislators, or whatever, depending on what the state legislatures put in their petition. But once the convention proposes an amendment, and the legislatures of three fourths of the states vote to ratify the amendment, the amendment becomes part of the Constitution. Or a proposal can come from Congress if two thirds of both houses vote to propose an amendment for the state legislatures to ratify, which has been used more often than a state-initiated convention.
One of your sources is "Most popular digital brands in the United States in from May to July 2017, ranked by monthly user engagement (in hours.minutes)" on Statista. #4 is Amazon, which I mentioned. Video on Amazon is either pay-per-view or included with an Amazon Prime subscription. #1 is Google, and Google Play Music is also a subscription service.

And I'm curious as to why that should be a concern for customers.
A game that is not funded is not developed. A game that is not developed cannot be obtained. A game that cannot be obtained cannot be played by customers.
Do you have evidence that more than a miniscule percentage of the internet is behind a paywall ?
It depends on whether "minuscule percentage" counts number of distinct domains or web usage time. I find it dishonest to count number of distinct domains, as this includes throwaway domains used by phishing campaigns.
As for web usage time, a lot of popular news sites have switched to a subscription model, either metered or hard. These include Wall Street Journal, The Times (London), Financial Times, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Bloomberg, Boston Globe, numerous Gannett-owned local newspapers, and even some Medium-hosted blogs. Professionally produced video is also strongly associated with paywalls, with Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video being big players in the United States, and most major cable TV channels put their web presence behind "TV Everywhere" authentication partnerships with traditional multichannel pay TV providers.
To answer your question, "to make sure" is seemingly pre-accusing Jamendo of infringement.
I hadn't intended it as an accusation against a particular music host. Instead, I blame the way copyright has been applied to hinder rather than "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts".
IMHO Jamendo should not have to put protections in place, spending their own money, for this.
One practical problem with the counter-notification process is that the complainant learns the alleged infringer's home address. That sort of breaks operational security for any fan project that isn't 100% certain that its use is a fair use.
Another is hosts being slow to react. I sent a counter-notification back in 2009 for a video reporting on a video game publisher's policy toward fans. YouTube took longer than the legally allowed 14 business days to reinstate my video, though I initially suspected the timing relative to the Memorial Day holiday was partly the culprit. (Three years later, I voluntarily retracted that video after the publisher won a lawsuit against another fan project.)
Sometime around the introduction of "retargeting" or "remarketing", where websites show you ads for sites you have recently visited. Unlike previous ads, which were relevant to the demographics associated with the website or the subject of a particular article, the new crop of ads in the 2010s were intended to be relevant to each individual viewer's browsing history. Previously, this sort of behavioral micro-targeting was seen as a curiosity, such as the "TiVo thinks I'm gay" observation from fourth quarter 2002. But as interest-based advertising became the new normal, viewers became aware of tools to blockintrusive practices and the Internet data use associated with client-side real-time bidding. As more visitors started to block ads, website publishers saw the hit to their primary revenue stream and started putting everything past the abstract behind a paywall, attempting to convert occasional visitors to long-term subscribers.
President Clinton could not have stopped the Digital Millennium Copyright Act from becoming law.
The Constitution allows 20 percent of either house to force a recorded vote or 34 percent to uphold a presidential veto. If a bill lacks enough dissent to force a recorded vote, there certainly isn't enough to uphold a veto.
In 1998, Newtros Newtros-Gingy's crop of Republicans still controlled the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. The DMCA passed both houses by unanimous consent, also called a voice vote. Which if any Republican members of Congress went on record as opposing the DMCA?

4K? 8K? Those are Atari 2600 numbers. Activision's River Raid was 4K.
By the time ARM gaming devices became mainstream (Game Boy Advance, 2001), games' data sizes had ballooned in size to 4096K or bigger. Even the "multiboot" games, which you could download to the system's RAM through the serial link without needing a cartridge, were up to 256K.

The European Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) disagrees with you. See Article 13 of its proposed Copyright Directive.
The infringing artist should be held liable for copyright infringement, not the owner of the medium in which it is delivered.
Agreed. Thus my real question: What steps should an artist take to avoid accidentally infringing?
Thanks for your thoughts on section 512. As for section 1201, did the balance of "circumvention device" vs. "interoperability" work as anticipated?
One practical problem with the counter-notification process is that the complainant learns the alleged infringer's home address. That sort of breaks operational security for any fan project that isn't 100% certain that its use is a fair use.

where I live the rates are set by the city and not by the cab company -- there is no "surge" pricing.
In other words, they run all surge pricing all the time.
Does your city have a "medallion" system, where the license to operate like a taxi is considered a durable, heritable good not unlike real estate?
