At some point the argumemt that it’s to “protect the children” rather than to control and monitor what adults do will fall flat when more and more difficult to use work arounds keep getting banned that realistically only adults would employ.

Sadly being smarter doesn’t stop you being ignorant.


Point of order, if you mean pirate as in infringe copyright, that isn’t stealing.


They never state who it’s more efficient and cost effective for, so I’m sure it’s true… from a certain point of view.


Hopefully be a massive teachable moment to humanity?


So the fact you didn’t pay kind of leads I to where I was going, that model isn’t sustainable for AI, would you subscribe to get access to that information? How much would you pay? Because that is what those pushing AI want to happen, they want yo be the gatekeeper and you have to pay the toll to access information.
As for the usefulness of AI for technical questions. Well I’m the other side of the learning curve from you, I need detailed answers to complicated technical questions and AI fails to provide a correct answer 9 times out of 10 and worse is misleading in its answers with basic mistakes or out of date information which would trip up inexperienced users or lead them into bad practices.
It’s only useful in giving me a direction to start, I still have to go to the likes of stack exchange and read and understand the primary sources it was trained on to get a useful answer and understanding. In general it saves me very little time and isn’t that helpful.


Did you pay for the AI service you used to do that and if it hadn’t been available would you have just started reading the online resources the AI trained on and got to the same place eventually?


Sadly the virtuous circle of profits being put back into research and development seems badly broken in so many business now.


I can see her managing a presidential speech given how low the bar has been set recently.


Sounds like it’s a moo point to me.


You have niche hardware that no one has bothered to reverse engineer. There is niche hardware that works better in Linux too, but you don’t complain about how difficult windows I’d when there is no support for it.
At least it’s likely to get linux support at done point if it’s popular enough, maybe complain to logitech so they know supporting linux is something their customers want?


IPv6 should never be behind NAT which is a hack to extend the address space of Ipv4.


Only difference is lack of updates for security and latest android, turns phones into ewaste long before the end of the hardware useful life.


Still got the onerous signing procedure that still makes devs pay a tithe to Apple like in other markets I assume?


Installing?


That in itself might act to make linux attractive as it can be a much lighter weight alternative to windows to stretch the useful life of hardware they own.


In my experience neither of those are true, on linux unless a dependency was dropped a 4 year old program will still probably work fine and a 20 year old program on windows will likely have some glitches which may or may not be problematic.


When I dual booted it was to try and get away from the win.
I wish I saw this kind of insightful point of view more often in the discourse over social media. It’s stopped being about being social once algorithmic content curation became the norm to drive engagement and advertising money which is the real evil.
