Most of their revenue is from the cloud, but they still want Linux off the desktop.
MS couldn't give 2 shits about Linux on the Desktop. It's a tiny and irrelevant market share to them.
Not in 2003 it wasn't
Does anyone actually have any evidence PJ was a real person and not just a persona created by IBM's PR department? PJ appeared mysteriously, exclusively posting stuff supportive of IBM's position in this case. They never turned their attention to any other litigation. It's awfully suspicious. You'd think a real person who knew that much about the relevant law would have opinions on other cases as well, and you'd expect them to market themselves using the fame/goodwill generated with Groklaw. You'd also think they'd have done at least one interview, or you could find at least one person who's met them. I'm not saying anything posted on Groklaw wasn't true, just that it always seemed like a very successful IBM PR exercise to me.
Her name is Pamela Jones, she was a paralegal. She's done real interviews in the past. She was/is real!
Given that we live in a "market-driven" society, the correct conclusion is that companies are refusing to properly compensate skilled workers.

So powerful that Claude requires a billion little hacks to be optimized so as not to use ridiculous amounts of tokens. The programmers are so good they can't build those optimizations into the model to begin with.
AI was supposed to resolve these issues, not add to them. Claude is the worst offender of them all.

Basically its posting dumb shit for you in the background while you are at a dinner party. Peak Facebook garbage

We are already stopping this. In my state when I run to the landfill I'm required to drop electronic items off at one station, chemicals at another, recylcing like wood or plastic at yet another. Only when I am down to the misc crap not worth recycling or salvaging or handling differently for safety purposes am I allowed to go dump it in the actual landfill.
One of the catalysts for this was Lithium Ion Batteries and how they were causing huge fires at landfills. It's been true of chemicals for decades.
Monopolies have always been legal. Abusing one is not. It's literally never been against the law to be a monopoly.
