Honestly, I think they just do not care. The majority of their users are dumb as fuck and accept bad UIs, bad security, bad reliability and think they are doing fine.

In a universe full of gullible fools that think they are participating in the future...

You can call that a "crisis of trust", but only if you are being even more dishonest than normal. The the LLM industry deserves any trust is not clear to me.

Indeed. All this does is significantly increase your running costs and when things finally come crashing down you are in much worse shape. Except for short emergencies, there are no beneficial uses of these loans for consumers.

Using these for running costs just mean you pay more for those running costs. That makes your financial problem worse. It looks like "financial illiteracy" is high and the vultures are circling.

This is the Epic games that needs to see a business opportunity. Having or not having the Linux gamers is a profit factor, especially as Windows systems with good gaming performance seem to slowly go out of reach for many people.

They do not care bout Linux because it is Linux. They do care about selling stuff and not being present on Linux means 5% lost sales or so.

This is probably a low-cost effort, but it means there is management attention. The 4% Linux gamers on Steam are not nothing. I guess they are looking at things like RAM cost, the irrational Win11 system requirements, the started de-Microsoftization in Europe, etc..

That is rather unlikely. Because it would make it exceptionally easy to detect what they are doing. On the other hand, this is to satisfy EU law and I guess it will be as weak as they think they can get away with.

You obviously have never heard of NOBUS backdoors.

Simple: They tried and it failed. Again. sure, as an end-goal it is valid and eventually it will work. But not anytime soon. Computers are not magic.

I mean, this could be used to see things about the non-existent climate change, right? It must be banned! Or maybe put 100% tariffs on every byte of data!

Indeed. The Chinese also know that publishing a story about a found backdoor in their software would be a great exploit for the US and hence they know that the US is looking. Strangely, nothing has been found so far. Or rather very obviously, nothing has been found and the whole thing is nothing but lies.

And no, that is not "socialist" or "China loving". This is what is called a "fact". Obviously the MAGA cretins do not know what that is.

And as soon as you are, expect to get fleeced.

And yet, US citizens are in prisons around the world for violating local laws. I guess that little detail is too complex for you to understand.

And in other news that oh-so-mighty US military just got defeated by Iran. Even if the Dumb one (who you apparently pray to) claims differently. BTW, have fun wen the US strategic oil reserves run out in the near future.

Always the same stupid and invalid comparison. Here is one that is actually valid: We do require banks to have secure vaults and if a bank were to store the valuables of its customers, say, in cardboard boxes in an unsecured office, of course the bank would be punished
