The current GOP is not left. They're extreme right at the moment - fascist-adjacent is not "minimal state". There's nothing conservative left, it's been consumed by right wing populism with a mix of fascism The current administration. It's corruption, populism, fascim, racism, disdain for knowledge, and plain stupidity in an ugly mix.

Just don't buy these crappy licenses. Retro-gaming is booming for a very good reason.

And, if you're looking for another reason not to buy -- the way hardware prices are going, retro emulators are probably all we'll be able to play soon because nobody will be able to afford the GPUs and RAM needed to play the next wave of new release games anyway.

Delivering "late" is not delivering at all.

For example -- "The Roadster 2 is going into manufacture *this year*" he said, several years ago.

For example -- "We will have humans on Mars by 2024" he said. Even if he eventually does deliver humans to Mars, he still broke that promise.

Saying you're going to do something by a certain date and then not doing so constitutes a broken promise -- even if you do it a decade later.

Of course Musk is a genius... those who say otherwise are idiots.

After all, how else would I be enjoying my FSD Roadster 2 that charges from my solar roof-tiles before the drive through a Boring Company tunnel to the Hyperloop terminal where I'm whisked off to the SpaceX launch-pad in anticipation of a Starship flight to join some of the others who set up that initial Mars base back in 2024.

Those who say that Musk is a snake-oil merchant who doesn't deliver on his promises are just deniers who simply choose not to see the reality of the world as it is today.

Or I could be wrong :-)

I think xAI is falling behind (does anyone using Cursor use xAI as a coding agent?).

Perhaps this is Musk's way of buying market-share for a product that's really failing to perform right now (xAI).

That's $60 billion today (with SpaceX stock near $170) but how much/little will it be in 2 year's time? If I was Cursor, I'd be wanting a fair amount of cold, hard cash in that deal :-)

Wouldn't the OpenJDK versions of these be supported by enterprise Linux vendors, like Red Hat or SUSE?

Granted, I don't see the "ELS-1" (extended life support) for the newest ones, but I'm unaware of whether that is because it hasn't been set yet or because there won't be any - unlike the previous OpenJDK versions.

Under this administration, you know the underlying cause is they didn't pay off Trump, his family, and his cronies.

It's sickening how corrupt the US has become. Sure, one can argue it's been bad - but Trump has turned it up to 20, on a scale from 1-10 - just bulldozing through any limits one thought existed. "Want a pardon? Sure, buy some millions in Trump coin and it's yours." Or just giving himself a giant slush fund via a settlement with his underlings.

You pay for them in Norway too, unless you're a health care worker in contact with patients or in one of the at-risk groups - old people, people with chronic diseases etc.

Some employers will offer them for free - it's common for kindergartens and consultants, for different reasons. The cost is usually around 30 - 40 USD.

Whole milk isn't much of a problem - as long as it's pasteurized. The brain worm is hawking raw milk.

... but they have separate sets of engineers, and this clarifies that engineers from both organizations will be included.

"from upstream development through production environments."
"to secure open source software at its source and across the entire supply chain."
"Share fixes upstream so that open source communities can include them in long-term maintenance."
"Upstream maintenance alongside open source community leaders;"

Please read the whole thing.

You do understand that the freedom and licenses you're defending, specifically allow others to use your work for purposes you don't agree with, right?
If you're opposed to "evil" (but legal) uses of FLOSS, you're opposed to the core values of FLOSS.

Why aren't they putting this information alongside the thumbnail so we can totally skip AI content if we want to. Only finding out once you've clicked on the video and the player has loaded is stupid -- being both a waste of the viewer's time and bandwidth.

Not necessarily. If you magically decrease the cost of a development effort by 90%, a lot more projects will be done. The ROI of an effort isn't only affected by the return, but also the investment.
