Which part of "OSS"? The clown developers who work for Big Business? How do they represent any of the Average Joe here?

Systemd is paid for by Big Business, so they will retain user-identification information in the long run of course. Poettering will never revert what he is paid for by the TechBros.

The government is very suspiciously constantly siding with huge private corporations. I have a bad feeling here.

Precisely. Courts will find that the situation where Linux users are exempt from the law, whereas Windows users have to submit their ID and any other personal data, can not be maintained, so Linux users will also be forced to give up their

People celebrate too early. A court at a later time may find that this situation is unfair to windows users who have to submit to age sniffing. So this will easily be overturned at a later time - age sniffing will never be given up by the l

Welcome to the dictatorship. One has to wonder whether all Trump voters wanted this. I don't think so.

A strange result. It's like "pick no option". Personally I would have voted "nuke all AI", even though AI has some beneficial use. I simply feel AI is too dangerous in projects. Ruby has been mostly slurped up by AI

I don't know if that is a conspiracy theory; it probably is a bit unlikely to have a direct connection to the CIA. But what is definitely not a conspiracy theory is that the USA uses taxpayer's money to fund propaganda, e. g. a pr

The billionaires buy up key technology now. I don't like this.

> One speculative interpretation treats these numbers as a distorted memory of prehistory. Well ... some factors are recurring, e. g. energy coming from the sun. So downwards pattern will be created due to that. But many things are rathe

I am sad to see what happened with GTK. It seems gtk2 was the last good GTK version. Then it went downhill from there.

"It is called Verschlimmbesserung: an attempted improvement that only makes things worse." Hmmm. So, the literal transation would be: "Verschlimm" - worsen, negative, step back. "Besserung" - improvement, getti

Good that you decided to do the move. Often any existing problem on Linux has already been solved by someone; it may just take a while when you find a solution. In that case I also recommend to make local notes. I do so since +20 years. Som

That's what de-facto monopolies do. What is more surprising is that competitors do not arise. Democracies in general have totally messed this up. The USA should be fined for exerting a monopoly onto other countries. And then fined for

The last laptops I bought had no operating system pre-installed other than some DOS variant or something like that. I installed Linux on them. So, not that I have anything against the website mentioned, I think people who want to avoid Wind

They created the perfect mafia system here. It is fascinating to see how easily democracies can be undermined.

These de-facto monopolies such as "Google Play", must be forced open by governments. It can not be that they continue to turn a blind eye to these vile, ruthless and - most importantly - extremely evil action by the giant that was

Well, baltics have access to the EU; Norway only in a limited manner. I noticed this when someone wanted to purchase magic cards and when I looked at the extra bureaucracy I decided to do something else with my time. (Note: this may not hav

I wonder if this year we see more acquisitions, by volume in money, than in prior years. I never got into PayPal and these days I shy away from any Trump-tainted US companies - which basically means I don't want my money to go into US

This keeps on re-emerging every year. The primary issue that has consistently been a problem, is the cost.

> LLMs do find bugs, do save time They find bugs but whether they save time is nowhere near as clear as you try to insinuate here.

I dislike AI, but if AI finds real bugs then this is in my opinion objectively a positive thing. Of course the question is what constitutes a real bug.

I can not say anything about this incident, but what I have noticed in the last some years is that mosquitos have become much more annoying even in larger cities of mediate temperature. That has not been the case say 30 years up to 10 years

I think it is the reverse situation - the US government is a global terrorist. Canada noticed this too recently again, when the USA tried to sneakily put in abusive clauses that would take advantage of Canadians and put them as second class

To be fair: after a certain billionaire who keeps on raising his right arm and talks about enslaving mankind took over, I lost all interest in twitter. I also think the platform is dead. What we need is a de-centralised system that also wor
