It's sci-fi for your mom and dad.

This plan would not be about making mone. And you do it for the exact reason this article talks about. You want to manufacture competition in an industry.

How does that make any sense?

Buddy, our governments gives billions in public dollars to businesses each year.

Honestly, why not use progressive taxation funds to support the creation of new business startups that will compete with established business? I think this would provide founders an alternative path outside of the private investment path, which would in-turn generate more companies that are not solely focused on ROI and would have the freedom to have a product-centric focus.

Every rocky body in the solar system has these same elements.

Ai has no idea what a well designed piece of software is. All it knows is what is in its training data. So it will go from giving you a really well created, PEP compliant python function after one prompt. Then give you a really sloppy, poorly constructed function with the next prompt. The user really has to be able to vet what Ai generates and know how to guide it to giving better responses.

There are plenty of models you can run on your own hardware. Sure the capabilities will be significantly less, but that's better than being trapped in an ever increasing subscription price.

Please someone tell me a good hearted lawyer has taken on her case?

Sure, if California wants to take down the the entire IT infrastructure in the state.

Lol! I've used Linux personally and for work for 25 years. You losers just can't accept reality. This is why Linux will NEVER replace Windows or Mac as a desktop OS. The people who support it just refuse to see its shortcomings and literally just say that "just git gud" when people try to point this out.

And ignore it. Let them try to enforce it.

Lol

But we have to keep asking because we'll try anything before actually giving humans jobs.

You're essentially making my argument for me. Running Windows, any software or hardware I want to add just works. The ONLY concern is "do I have enough RAM or storage space". But that's not an OS issue. On Linux, chances are good that I will have to do some fiddling to get something running...it rarely just works. I manage a VFX pipeline and so I am constantly having to deal with this. BUT, we use Linux because it is stable and we can get maximum performance out of it. With Windows, you'll be constantly fighting for resources with the OS. But in a home desktop situation, that really isn't an issue. I want to turn on my machine, start a game, and play. Or browse the internet. Or maybe do a bit of coding (which I do by remote connecting to my Linux dev box). Each OS has it's strengths and weakness. Expecting Linux to be a "do everything well" OS is just not realistic for various reasons.

Yeah, until you need to install some new software or hardware. Then you cross your fingers and hope it's supported.

This is a once every 5 year issue. I don't update my PC build very often. But when I do, I generally prefer to do a fresh install of everything.

The rest of your complaints are either non-existent or non-issues. I never have to keep messing with my configs. You're essentially taking fringe issues and making them seem like persistent issues.

This irrational hate towards Windows is just odd and straight up ignorant. Linux is great for a lot of purposes. But It's not great at all for others, like being a general purpose desktop OS. Plug and Play is just a suggestion with Linux. But with Windows and MacOS it's a core design principle.
