You're American yeah? And you deliberately won't support your own country? The only one to have lost their mind is you... along with any others of your ilk. Sad.

100% We need anti-fraud to serve the taxpayers, rather than just pander to political "culture war" objectives. But to be fair that was valid too - no one can grift like virtue signallers. But yeah - there is a shitload of other areas to investigate - especially the military industrial complex.

Those "Stars" that fired him need to have their arses handed to them. Corruption is something I fear we will never be able to solve, but I live in eternal hope.

My comment should read "on Linux it is only using 1.7GB!" I had a tag of Zorin / Mint / Debian / PopOS.

Might have something to do with it. There's been a lot of "I've switched to Linux!!" videos on YouTube these days. One of the main reasons quoted (beyond the "Windows is spying on me" valid argument) is efficiency and RAM usage, so that people can get more out of their hardware. A lot of videos say stuff like, "On Windows after boot up, it is using 12GB of RAM, whereas on it is only using 1.7GB! What is wrong with you - Windows 11?!!!"
So more native code might be their way of signalling that they are going to tackle this issue, without admitting that Windows 11 bloat has gotten out of hand?

Cuba has got so much money to pay for all of that "help". /sarcasm. More like Cuba is entering into voluntary servitude (like they are so used to doing with Russia and Venuzuela), selling out the country so that China can gain a geo-political advantage on the USA.

It's like wanting to see the fresco painting "'Monkey Christ", when AI decides what you really want is the original painting. Nah bro - I want Monkey Christ - that shit is a modern day masterpiece.

If some help documentation says "hit the 'tab' key" and the key says "tab" then there's no ambiguity. I'm all for text. And if someone can't read, they probably shouldn't be using a computer.

All the AI players are playing a game of chicken. The first one to blink (start charging money with paywalled services) will lose a shedload of users. The remaining AI players then get a huge boost in users. The end-game is to be the last one standing, and then when there is no where else free to turn to, start charging monopoly rents. Google has deeper pockets than OpenAI. That's why the latter is desperate for Microsoft to buy them. Anthropic would be in the same boat.

Every movie seems like some derivation of Wonder Woman, where some "girl boss" unrealistically kicks the shit out of 10 guys or something stupid like that. I mean I know that you have to suspend disbelief in movies but c'mon - it's fucking ridiculous now.

When people confuse computers with the internet. Age-gating a computer is not age-gating the Internet! Believe it or not - you can do a lot with computers without getting online.

Not a good metric. Everyone knows that Linux has a much higher percentage of gooners.

Yes definitely. Just so long as it doesn't have to "phone home" before it gives you access to that music, you're golden.

This has touched a raw nerve. I like nature photography in remote places, and music gets me into the creative flow state. One time I was driving from one New Zealand coast to the other and before I did that, I saved all this music to my phone using Apple Music. But in the middle of NZ, Apple Music wouldn't let me play the music as it wanted to log online to make sure my fucking subscription was still valid before I could play the music already synced to my fucking phone, and i couldn't do that as i had no fucking Internet. I was furuous! (Sorry for the cussing) So then I went to Spotify, and the same thing happened in the middle of an Australian desert. These aholes keep jerking me around so I said SCREW YOU ALL and now I just rip songs from my favorite CDs and load them onto Poweramp. An absolute joy with no issues hiking and photographing through Nepal. Never again will I have a music subscription and rely on the network for my music. NEVER AGAIN. Fool me twice...ya can't get fooled again. I

Goodbye cable. Goodbye ðY'
