Back when I was learning Linux, I was constantly told by experts to read the man page. The problem was that I never knew which command I needed to use to know which man page to view. With AI today, that is far less of a problem.

At this point, the command line is almost preferable - perhaps even for average users. It seems like half the time an LLM provides a set of instructions for a Microsoft GUI or web portal, the interface or URL has changed significantly and the LLM's instructions are virtually useless. Linux commands are generally far more stable.

Apple's P/E ratio has nearly doubled over the last ten to fifteen years. They've benefited from irrational growth during that time and now they have to suffer a potentially irrational loss. The big players get more attention, so the market has a tendency to overreact to good or bad news about them. If you're that incensed by it, put your money where your mouth is and buy the dip.

Apple is so obsessed with vertical integration that it's hard to fathom how this hasn't already happened. It's not like they don't have the money or clout to hire the talent and procure the equipment.

I'm very surprised that this person didn't complain about features of Microsoft Purview integrated with Microsoft Office. Purview is being increasingly used as a way to secure data from exfiltration using encryption and proprietary restrictions. As far as I know, there are no open-source projects that are capable of opening documents with these restrictions. Companies that use Purview for Data Loss Prevention may not realize that they're locking their data into Microsoft's systems indefinitely.

That mistake led to the development of the most successful version control system in history. I wish my mistakes were 10% as productive as that.

Are you asking if Linus was right about something outside of the kernel

Until they release systemd-kernel. You can say I'm being ridiculous but they already have their own bootloader (systemd-boot). At this point, the kernel is just about the only thing left for systemd to consume.

Capitalism is an economic system. Everything you mentioned is independent of economic systems and could happen anywhere regardless of economic system.

Yes, as well as tanophobia.

Thanks to our great leaders, we're being given freedom from choice. We no longer have to suffer from choice paralysis, just use what you're told.

Agreed. Never trust a company that claims it owns colors.

Third time is the charm.

They chose to write code that's hard to maintain and now they're stuck maintaining it (or in this case, throwing it away and angering users). It goes back to the old maxim: there's never enough time to do it right but there's always time to do it twice.

Did they lie, or did they do a stealth update on their ToS that says the exact opposite of what it said prior to the update?

Real Linux users do all of their video editing in ffmpeg.
