Unchallenged, unexamined faith is the only sin. Taking things on considered, experience-based faith, such as the skill of "object permanence," is quite important for your continued existence.

Indeed. You can literally rationalize anything. I learned how cheap it was in college.

Rationalization should only be used as a tool to interpret your non-rational intelligence. It's the thing really running the show. If there is unease in your guts, don't act on it, exercise a rational examination of it.

But x happened because y? That's why there's experimentation. That's why there's the untested hypotheses. You NEED reality to put a check on rational speculation, or you start believing that a witch weighs as much as a duck.

The people in this article, especially Musk, just want to define their own reality. It always catches up with you in the end though, if you are delusional about anything of consequence.

It does, however, explain why we never hear from the dead. I mean, who would return to this shitshow?

I know. Who TF programmed in explosive diarrhea? Is this some undergrad's psychology project?

All my thoughts and prayers are with humanity as I hopefully expect this to be an April Fool's joke.

Exactly. This is the dumbest thing I have ever read. I've lost 14 points of intelligence on my simulacrum's character sheet.

We can only hope this is an April Fool's joke.

Their name is literally Vultr?

Wow, I would complain about them being freaking vultures, but it's already in the ToS.

While reading TFS, I was thinking a "Copilot key" was a cryptographic key that was embedded in the mainboard for use by the TPM to validate Copilot subscriptions (and serve as a unique identifier).

Imagine my surprise when I clicked on TFA later and found out it's a keycap! Please edit the summary so that it says "an AI PC's keyboard must have Microsoft's Copilot key."

The statement about a "physical key" in the last sentence still doesn't make it clear that we're talking about a keycap here. We could still be talking about a physical, on-board chip.

Yikes.

What if we could shine UV light up people's culos?

He is very practiced and well versed in certain manipulations and con schemes, but smart he is not. In fact, everyone around him in his government called him a moron.

What you can't wrap your head around is a stupid person can be good at things. Just very few.

Which I think indicates the problem. The Chinese government will not allow ByteDance to do something? That means ByteDance is, by logical extension, the Chinese government, and not an independent company as they claim.

But honestly, citation needed on the actual ability to "refuse to allow it," because I'm not sure the Chinese government has the power you claim. They say all sorts of things and take all sorts of stances that they cannot enforce or enact. I don't doubt that they said it, I doubt that it isn't more hot air.

Pick up a psychology book. Nobody is that smart. You don't need to be "easily impressionable." There are known techniques to cause mayhem. Don't think yourself immune because you're a tough guy or smarter than that.

It isn't "dangerous ideas," it's willful mob manipulation to modify behavior. You don't want to be in the middle of that. History won't help you, this technology didn't exist back then.

Don't they have copyright over their own software? Were they distributing someone else's? Did they include proprietary libraries that they don't have the rights to?

Suyu is GPL. I'm pretty sure they declared their copyleft here. What on Earth is Git doing?

Yes, I'm playing coy. But if they're not distributing copyrighted game applications to run on the emulator, they are very much the rightsholder, and Git knows this.

I scrolled into the comments to say the same. Kernel level copy protection is no good neither, and we all remember the Sony rootkit. Microsoft should ban these drivers, now.

Games, f-ing recreational activity, belongs in userspace, if not a virtualized sandbox. Sandbox is going too far I think, but userspace isn't. No privileges outside the home directory. No root for you!

If that makes e-sports stop working, it's time to write a new OS just for e-sports. If amateur multiplayer games are rife with cheating, time to start to deal with that without compromising the OS. Manage the community better. For best results, base it in Linux. Might want to have a look at Proton.

Enough. If Windows can't be a gaming OS without kernel shenanigans, then it can't be a gaming OS. If you need kernel drivers to make your gaming business model work, it's time for a new business model.

Something something BOEING something something.

A panel fell off on a two-decade old jet and the manufacturer and not the airline is getting the headline?

I call shenanigans.
