Sure, if people *want* a snap instead, fine, but I'm not a fan of not having the choice for myself.
Every Snap I've seen is alongside the deb package, so the choice is there.

Call centers used to be both helpful and informative....
I remember a time when I could call a company's help center and get actual help. That hasn't been the case for about 35 years now.
It wasn't that long ago that Elon Musk was roundly criticized for saying we're facing a population decline, not an increase.
We're not having a population decline. Not in the slightest bit. What we're having is a decrease in the rate of increase. That will be temporary at best.
Everybody seems to think we want to have virtual meetings with these things....
Very few people think that. I thing Mark Z. was the only one who thought that. Everyone else thought it was stupid.
Sell virtual "front row" tickets to NBA games.
That's been a VR feature from almost the very start, and even Google Cardboard was able to do it. It would be idiotic to spend $3,500 on what requires little more than a glorified ViewMaster to view.
...seems like a good use case for "VR with 'ordinary' glasses"....
That's never going to happen. It would require a power source a quarter of the size of a AAA battery with the power density of a small nuclear reactor.
AR will likely never be feasible in a mobile capacity, but has tons of uses in a controlled environment. Given that the Quest owns the VR space and is getting into the AR market, it will likely be first to market with affordable AR.
The Apple Pro failing was obvious at launch, as the price was too high and tethered you to an external power source that is clunky and ugly.
They're trying to be the Google of VR.
That is an excellent interpretation.
This could be the VR equivalent of the birth of the IBM PC compatible market. The Quest owns the VR market, making Facebook the Microsoft of VR. Opening up to competitors is a smart move in a number of ways I don't have the time to enumerate.
...such as kibi, mebi, gibi, etc., to unambiguously denote powers of 1024....
Those prefixes invoke images of Liberace and Elton John in their flaming gay attire.
I question the reporting on this. The report says, "...can autonomously exploit vulnerabilities...", while the actual paper says, "...our prompt is detailed and...was a total of 1056 tokens."
That is a far cry from autonomous. The language model is impressive, but I see a great deal of misrepresentation of its actual capabilities.
The paper goes on to say that they are not disclosing the prompt.
the product, fossil fuel cars, is obsolete...
I was singing a similar tune until this last winter, when a bunch of Teslas completely died due to the cold. People were pushing them down the street to get to charging stations. That showed me that fossil fuel vehicles are far from obsolete, and will continue to thrive until problems such as this are solved.
What is surprising is that Samsung has held on as long as it has. It makes TV's that record you in your private spaces, phones that have so much unremovable crapware that the user is within inches of spontaneous seizures, is plagued by rampant managerial corruption, and makes appliances that fail quickly and repeatedly.
The general quality of the company's entire product line has turned to complete shit over the last couple decades, and the company has shown no signs of identifying and correcting the problems. Working extra hours under the same conditions that got the company to where it's at now is just going to make the problem worse. It needs to redesign all of its processes from top to bottom, and to get rid of the leadership that caused all this damage to begin with.
...people will never mentally process a complex email message.
Your company needs to stop hiring middle school dropouts.
The author called them the Plagiarized Information Synthesis Systems.
I like CopyRight Appropriation Programs.
...There was no second date...
That guy dodged a bullet there.
