Comment Surprise! Print servers serve printers and keep... (Score 1) 99

...archives. It's not even the printer itself that would do this, but the print server, print queue on the local box, and probably third party logging/archival tools.

To be surprised by this is to be surprised by the idea that video cameras record video to a central server and might also have some local storage.

Comment Lack of use... (Score 4, Insightful) 251

Skills atrophy with lack of use. They were taught how to read an analog clock when they were ~7 years old, and then never used the skill again.

It's hard to expect a child to retain skills they haven't used. I learned how to use a sewing machine in Home Economics back in 1994 or so. Damned if I could get one started today.

That's why it will fail. It's a Linux guy's side project. It'll never be complete, and it will only ever solve the needs of the guy building it. Just like so many other "You know what the world REALLY needs? Yet another desktop environment!"-inspired projects.

Coulda just contributed to the wheels that already exist, instead of making another one.

Honestly, more distributions that have no reason to exist and no distinguishing traits should shut down. The people that worked on them should move to projects that aren't just rehashes of existing projects.

Re-upload it to where, exactly? What other service is providing ChatGPT 4o, when "Open"AI obsoletes it again?

You can take the context and transition it (or just select a different model for the current context) as you wish, but what these people want is the model to remain available, including its behavior as well as tone and tenor.

They didn't lose the past context or the ability to continue the "conversation" entirely, they lost the ability to continue the "conversation" with 4o. These LLMs DO have "personality" or at least a certain color to their output.
