OK, The time is right

How many of you are ready to fund me asking the whales if under water explosions make them feel they are haunted?

If you want the real free market, you have to include the cost of bribing politicians.

Politics ain't free, you know

Sounds like this will reduce the diversity of package management - which will help enormously with the problem of multiple Linuxes (Linuxen?) because users won't keep being told that moving between Linuxes is as complex as moving from Amiga to Mac or DEC VAX.

As for running Windows code without you having to give permission on each an every occasion in triplicate, signed in blood - this sounds like a totally unacceptable security risk to me!

Maybe not ...

But you can sure as hell die trying!

Requiring cars to not allow themselves to be used as getaway cars in armed robberies, whether autonomous or not.

Any politician who votes for this has proven themselves unfit for the purpose for which they were elected, and should be declared to be inadequate for any office, let alone a "high office".

In my view, they should be required to get a medical certification that they are sane before they are allowed out of the house.

Disclaimer: I do not reside in the USA.

Restricting right to repair should be covered by RICO or other anti extortion and racketeering legislation.

Software as a Scam!

People will wise up eventually.

How do we sue the USA for polluting our our world?

they get to control the ad infrastructure and the data that comes from the full Google suite,

Well I want at least a free phone and $50 per hour for the ads they force on me.

I no longer use my Samsung phone for the Internet - the experience is horrendous. If I don't have access to a Linux/BSD machine, I don't use the internet. I am not going to upgrade my phone till it breaks. Probably then I will use a dumb phone.

Please EU, lets have an EUtube!

.. bugs as we know them.

Replacing them with something infinitely worse!
Bugs as we don't know them. That are impossible to find, let alone fix. With every possibility that using AI to fix them will make them worse.

"yes"

or possibly
"No".

YMMV

besides, you can customize the goddamn ribbon

But if you work on five different computers over the course of a day, customizing will get you beaten up by five different people every day.

We grew up with an alphabetic writing system, why on earth would Microsoft want to replace that with indecipherable icons?

Because a significant percentage of Americans are illiterate, and MS thinks America is the whole world.

Hint for MS: Illiterates probably are not using a word processor.
(Unless preparing word salads for Trump to eat).

You can't handle the truth! (MS)

... 100% of AI is total garbage.

Bill Gates is right - AI will destroy 100% of Microsoft jobs - it is well on the way already.

But companies providing decent goods and services will probably flourish if the competition is totally focused on flogging AI slop.
