Comment So why not invest in cheap renewables? (Score 1) 60

This points to the stupidity of these AI companies.
Instead on installing the cheapest form of energy (solar, wind, batteries), they are doing stupid things like opening coal, gas, and nuclear plants.
Or... are they just looking for subsidies from the government taxpayers and ratepayers?

Comment How about a clear plot... (Score 1) 98

I just watched the latest movie from Damon on Netflix.
No phone to help me understand the plot.
Just a dumb movie with a confused plot and random surprise twists and turns which only served to confuse things further.
I'm still not sure what the movie was about and I'm surely not going to waste time looking it up.

Shifting to open source will solve the problems of buying proprietary software from US tech giants.
Open source can do just about anything and the distributed development and support system is robust.
Also, Tech Sovereignty is extremely important especially considering how unreliable the US has become.

Tax software is a weak spot for Linux.
I've had to use my wife's Mac for tax preparation.
Would be nice to have an option for at least on-line tax prep but my taxes are too complicated for the on-line offerings. (And, of course, Trump killed the IRS on-line tax prep system)

I've also used Linux since the early 90s. It keeps getting better but even in the early days it met my (modest) needs.
The only time I was forced to use Windows was when I worked for a large organization that, of course, used Windows on the desktop. But, they gave me a laptop to use when traveling (which I did a lot) and I wiped it and installed Linux. This helped me avoid lots of USB thumb drive viruses which were rampant at the time out in the wilds of Africa and Asia.
