The goal of commercial software is to get paid, but Microsoft has been sleazebag number one or two in computing since forever. (It's hard to decide these days between them, IBM, and Oracle...) More on-topic though, if Microsoft wanted to ensure Xbox compatibility then they would have had to also require a relatively advanced GPU, which they didn't do.

That's why I said it was sideways. The distinction is artificial.

The mission is fuck you and with no remorse.

Yes, and spare no sleazebaggery.

That's why approved phones exist to support them.

Traditional Land Nav is to teach O-1s humility when they get lost in the woods.

I did it for a while, it's nice that they package the necessary files with the kernel, but it's nicer to not have to. These days I get a current kernel and a ntsync module without having to do anything special.

On one hand, stability is more important than new shiny. On the other, I have long awaited features which aren't available in some software versions, including in KDE where I really don't want to replace the whole thing.

If you can't afford a phone for cash that's a hint to improve your financial management including not buying phones you can't afford.

We're pretty close to a point where you can ask AI to make you the platform and tools you want and it just does that. Why would I pay for github or slack clones when it's been my experience that AI can craft a MVP in an hour long session and iterate on a more complete service as needed later.

Buying software is already dumb when we have open source. And now paying for a host of software is also going to be obsolete.

Make IBM Great Again: go back to .. leasing computers?!

It is, and I understand that, but I still place most of the blame with Google for creating such a distinction. It smacks of incompetence to not plan for users to be able to operate apps intended for one of those environments in theyl other

Nah, they will keep slowing down old devices with new features users didn't ask for in order to induce additional sales

"The US military isn't socialist, except that it tries to provide for it's members in compensation for the risks they take."

It should try harder

I live in a rural area where no provider works well, you insensitive clod!

They have an unparalleled level of oversight and accountability for a free distribution. It's worth dealing with the outdated packages. These days, on topic, at least you can get current kernels from backports.

You should simultaneously believe both that nearly all AI investment is a bubble and also that AI tools are not going way.
