That really depends on the type of work one has to do. For me, for example, AI is quite helpful (if frustrating at times) because I have to be a jack of all trades and know a shitload of different systems, but that also makes me a master of none. So I am not able to keep all the details about all the different systems in my head, but I still know enough to either do the job reasonably well but slow without the AI, or do my work quickly with the help of an AI and still know when it screws up.

Would charging for access have stopped the work on Wayland?

No drug necessary.

The Underlying issue is: Why are some people depressed?

If we understand that, it is very likely that no drug will be necessary. People won't become depressed.

Remember when you could, in System 6.0.7, and still in System 7, copy a file to a floppy (in MultiFinder), then from the floppy, then back to the floppy, and so on for a few minutes, and your Mac would hard crash. Remember?

As a tech I had a few tricks to crash Macs without any software. Just stupid Mac tricks. Not overflowing a disk, either, that was a stupid Windows trick.

Macs were not and are not yet infallible. They enjoy a huge advantage over Windows - control of the hardware. Windows suffers a multitude of hardware drivers, written by who-knows, and every significant attempt by Microsoft to insulate the kernel from bad driver behavior failed up to Windows 8. Mostly.

But it's sport to bash Windows. Has been since about Linux kernel 2.0, which if you were around then, you know was the pot calling the kettle black.

Windows has many flaws to hang your beanie on, but considering the requirements, it's remarkable. Not as remarkable as Linux, which somehow has become so despite (virtually) no paid developers. And I've used Linux since Slackware something like 0.9, which was not 'officially' distributed, and sort of worked. But it hooked me on Linux. Using Windows since the Mach 20 board and Windows 2.0, I've suffered but persisted. Felt bad for WordStar, WordPerfect for Windows, and some other software that never quite made it. Anyone remember Jazz?

Still, bashing Windows is easy. Anyone care to be similarly honest about X11?

Care to share actual metrics with us?

Windows is crashing because users are doing things that cause crashes.

This issue needs to be investigated in MUCH more detail.

I don't have crashes.

The proletariat won't rise up. You need a very different demographic situation for an uprising - lots and lots of young people.

Like they did in North Korea? Oh, wait, they didn't.

It is a criminal enterprise that rules over a seriously large country. Even the significantly smaller Cuba managed to survive for decades despite an embargo. Iran is more developed and industrialised. And yes, the guys with guns decide the the direction the country will take, since in Iran they are the actual elite.

I am well aware, but "vranyo" is not vulgar at all, hence "bullshit", as a faecal word, is inherently more vulgar, even in a society where the word "cunt" can be used as a stand-in for "buddy".

Well, TDS is real - the fanbois of the orange shitgibbon are indeed usually deranged.

I say take the cash and open a new company under different management and build more offshore wind turbines, now that you have a billion.

Maybe they will overthrow the ayatollahs, but probably not since the revolutionary guards are willing to kill as many people as necessary to suppress dissent.
This is why the orange shitgibbon is deluded if he thinks he can overthrow Iranian regime.

This is the 21st century. No STD has to be fatal anymore, not even if you stretch the STD definition to include things like Ebola becase it technically can be transmitted sexually.
