There is a system for official or community configurations, on a per game basis. Being able to customize that further, and easily, is the best of all words, and I very often wish one could do something similar on consoles.

What did SO do to warrant such emotion?

There is no law that governs Linux development related to this, enywhere else. There is only a law in CA that requires this functionality (which would break any and all software infrastructure). Why would any maintainer of any Linux distribution, not actively dependent on following an untested law (from a legal PoV), even consider implementing it? This got a lot of headlines, because it’s absurd and stupid.

If maintainers wanted to comply, what the fuck would it actually entail? 99% of operating system doesn’t have any specific human users to identify. The only reasonable approach is to ignore it. If data centers in CA for Azure, AWS, GCP, or any other, wants to comply with this (which is impossible), either spend some of that tax free revenue to combat Meta’s suspected 2 billion USD effort in getting these online ID laws pushed through.

So, what about an operating system is restricted material? That’s what this law requires.

Edit: wow, you’re all over the place here. Are you paid (perhaps run?) by Meta?

The weird thing about this is that this wouldn’t be against any law anywhere, except the state of California… So, why wouldn’t this be adequately solved by not giving a fuck?

In 20 years of using Linux, I’ve only had a broken Linux four times. Four of those times, it was because of Windows being shit.

Especially when you imply what part you missed in the question. Like if I asked “That last… what?”, to which you could just say “3 words”, but instead start “I don’t have ADHD, but I…”. Then, once you finally get to the “3 words”, you mumble it in the exact same way… Gah

Did you read the study? It’s hilarious. They’re using LLMs to “grade” the number of observed “skills” based on the output of LLMs. They’re using a stochastic parrot to evaluate another stochastic parrot, and concluding that there is some kind of emergent “skill” going on. Sheeeesh. It’d assume the authors of the paper are just having a laugh. But, one thing is for sure, the AI stupidity train keeps chugging along.

That’s was a remarkably uninsightful way to approach that topic. Please link to more of these “studies”, that one was way too short.

Lead poisoning has been my working theory to explain the last 50 years.

Considering that FFI is very much a thing, I’m finding it difficulty to understand the point it’s trying to make.

It’s nok like MS hasn’t actively sabotaged efforts for the open standards, followed up by subtly mess up their own conformity. As long as MS Office is considered a requirement, alternatives will be explicitly forbidden because of “the formating gets messed up if you use OpenOffice”. When the truth is it is MS Office that introduces the issues.

I also have a friend who is wondering the same.

Checks fascist handbook. Jup. Checks out.

I have a pixel phone with GrapheneOS. My laptop and desktops run Linux. The TV I haven’t gotten to, but the options are there as well to have a high quality, yet dumb display.

Everyone gets that part. The relation to “freedom of speech” is what, then?

Ah, language barrier thing. Apologies

With modern cars, you mean cars since some time early 2000s? Actual modern cars (5 yo cars), are the only ones I see not have headlights turned on during day time.

Apparently, it’s not required under EU law to have the headlights turned on during daytime, and manufactures will rather have a couple of cm longer milage…

I had mixed feelings about the whole Ondsel thing. And, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Most of the significant features in 1.0, that supposedly came from Ondsel, are things that I’ve been using for perhaps 3 years now, with a fairly well known branch of FreeCAD called Linkstage3 by a user that goes by RealThunder.

I don’t know how much he was involved in Ondsel, or the merging of those features into FreeCAD, but it sure looked like a whole lot of great work wasn’t credited to mind boggling amount of work by one person.

I still use the Linkstage3 branch, because it has a lot more features still, than what was present in the 1.0 pre-release i tried some months ago. Maybe things have changed since then.

Sure, but, what does that have to do with the AI answer? Wait… Are you an AI?
