There is on old video of Gabe saying he doesn't care about privacy.

I think you meant piracy? Of course, I like a certain level of privacy when I commit piracy.

For Linux host and guests, is VMWare better than qemu-kvm? I used to use VirtualBox at home, but switched to virt-manager and qemu-kvm a few years ago. Network bridging was a pain in the ass to set up, but once I got it on the host, it's been more stable than VB was.

Who needs a 90-day evaluation? Likely, your computer came with a Windows key. Use it. In Linux, you can extract it from the command line.

sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM

This key works fine when installing a VM.

By allowing developers to build structures with inadequate parking

That's an interesting statement. I never would have considered that developers, while estimating the size of a complex's parking lot, would need to add an additional allotment for... lodging? I wonder if there's a formula to calculate this, and what the variables in this formula would be.

Here's a map of the progress made since the project was launched 18 years ago.

Not to worry, I'm sure the new billionaire tax, if approved, will cover any remaining cost.

I have to get into an alternative that is on linux. any suggestions?

VSCode and Kate.

I'm a Windows-hating, Microsoft-loathing, long time Linux user. And... I love VSCode.

I ran VSCodium for a while a couple of years ago, but then PlatformIO stopped working -- the whole MS plugin repos stopped working, so I just gave in.

clearly copyrighted content

Is it, though? The recordings contain a lot of audience cheering, talking and laughter; miscellaneous background noise, and echos of the subject content -- the music. If the recording was made in a park, and a car randomly drove by with the radio turned up while a song was playing, would anyone argue the recording was copyrighted? Obviously, the intent of each of these recordings was to capture the music. But, the recordings were made by a private individual -- they're HIS recordings. I'd argue that if anyone owns a copyright on them, he does.

You sound like a car salesman.

Totally agree with your apt comparison. Now, in the same vein, are message forums liable for statements made by its users?

If a free work is freely used to freely train these LLMs about freedom, what chance does a "free" foundation have against these AI giants?

ftfy

Don't get me wrong -- I love Linux and all free software, and think the FSF has its place. But, they went a little coo-coo with GPL v3 (Linus is right), and this situation just further illustrates their chronic hypocrisy.

Maybe grok didn't freely poach the free book that's free to use for any purpose without payment (you know, free).

Stallman wrote the book in question, and is the founder of the FSF. It's entirely appropriate to reference him in commenting on this article. Don't be such an apologist.

You're right! Check the statistics. Visitors would be much safer if the awards and trade show organizers chose non-democrat-controlled cities to host the events.

Ugh. I hate "leverage" as a verb, when it would make more sense to say "use" or "utilize".
