Question # 1; How do you get the world to subscribe to this?

Question # 2; If parents can't be bothered to supervise their kids what makes you think that this will work?

I have many more questions but just these 2 tell me that this is already just theatre to make some feel good. If you are using your phone then forget about privacy.

It's going to take 25 years. 10 years to end long-term agreements with Microsoft, 10 years to transition and another 5 years of pain and suffering while trying to use Linux as a reliable desktop before realising that they need to switch back to Windows.

I don't think you know the meaning of the word reliable.

  Windows is proprietary. In my experience Windows is not as reliable as Linux.

I've been administering systems remotely, thousands of miles apart, for over 30 years and never had an issue with systems not coming up until SystemD was introduced.

I'm not saying it hasn't happened to you but the choices you make generate your results. I prioritize stability, reliability and security so I never had an issue.

Labels like 'tribal kneejerk anti-SystemD people" don't help the converstation. There are people who believe their is a right tool for the job. A Swiss army knife is great for emergencies but you never see a carpenter using it as a main tool.

Hydro-Quebec is owned by the government and all the profits go to the government and helps paying the cost of running the government like education, roads and social programs etc.

Just like every other tax collected by the government. You didn't mention the cost overruns of SAAQClick, nor the disaster that is the road network that is falling apart or the construction of a hospital parking lot instead of fixing a hospital that is crumbling with water cascading from years of negligence.

Yes Quebec has an abundance of hydro electric power due to the appropriation of land and assets. You make it sound like a utopia when reality is more middle ground.

It's not as if masked police can pick you up and detain you with no access to legal representation. Oh wait, they can. They did it to to legal US citizens as well.

The US constitution is not worth the paper it's printed on with the current administration. The fact that there is a risk that you can just be deported anywhere is just nuts.

Not to mention that crossing the border makes you feel like a criminal with finger prints and cell phone searches. Canadians and Americans used to cross the border just by showing a drivers license.

What's really stupid is people defending this illegal action.

but it's not like a user isn't warned several times when clicking on such a link.

But why does every app have to be a browser? Is this functionality going to be added to solitaire? Why not?

To me it seems that if Microsoft was in the tool business every thing would need to be, or function like, a hammer.

Exactly!

Not to mention going from one remote that worked properly to multiple remotes that don't work as expected and new issues with every update and every gadget.

Where is the smart in smart TVs? To me they are the Trojan horses. I had to move them off the main network.

Comment Vibe is killing itself? (Score 1) 106

I don't know of a single company sharing proprietary code. So where will vibe be if there is no code to scan?

On another note. A while back people were worried that open source licensed code would make it in commercial licensed code and would create some legal issues. Isn't this also an issue with vibe generated code?

To me it seems that it's more of an issue that vibe creates a problem for proprietary code. GPL to vide makes vibe code into GPL. Share and share alike.
