Way mo fire than you bargained for

I mean, you make a decent point. But, using the [I admit, arguably appropriate] term "luddites" just makes you sound like a pretentious, wine sniffing prick.

When AI throws tens of millions of people out of work...

You mean 6.1 million, right?

"Even my old mom has used it for over 15 years."

ok now that might be harder to do with someone who doesnt have a linux expert on speeddial. And i dont want to be that linux expert for my family and friends (sorry, not sorry).

When win7 lost support, i tried linux on the desktop yet again as i have since 1997. mint in this case. It has the same problems of needing updates, where people force in "design changes" a long with security changes. It has a lifecycle, and you will be told to upgrade to a newer release at some point. During those upgrades, things may go wrong, same as windows. Except i can tell my parents to call any independent computer store and have them deal with it. Not have to call in the elusive linux expert at hundreds of dollars an hour. they can use general forums and self solve, not have to deal with niche forums, and snarky attitudes from linux tryhards.

for me personally, i could have stuck with mint. i had to leave it due to bugs in games, and the lag of proton support to address those bugs. But having some small issue and being pretty much on your own to solve it does grate at the nerves. I just want my computer to work when i get home. I fix computers all day... and in the corporate world, its all windows. Because windows experts are easier to hire (plentiful) and cheaper to pay. The same applies to home support, resources on the internet to solve things, etc.

 

This is only any issue if you're nuking and doing a complete install. You know you don't have to do that, right?

Exactly. This is why my blood pressure spikes whenever I see some damn kid (#GOML) squeaking that "comments are a code smell."

The original point has been lost, corrupted into cargo-cult stupidity.

All this proves is that you don't know what woke means.

*smile* Heh. Ok, educate us.

People have been worrying about AI for a while now. Now, at least when the AI goes haywire and starts taking things over, we'll have a little blue one who can save the day.

What does his wealth have to do with Apple's ethics or compliance with antitrust law?

Are you assuming his claim is true? He didn't get rich telling the truth. Three different AI apps have reached #1 this year. Deepseek, Perplexity, and GPT.

I made no assumptions. I simply asked a question. You went straight to class warfare and assumed he's lying, because he's rich. Maybe he is, and maybe he isn't -- if it goes to trial, the court will decide. Until then, the question stands: What does his wealth have to do with Apple's ethics or compliance with antitrust law?

Yeah, it's just bad "UX" on top - the "internal" drive icon looks more like an external drive than the "external" drive does.

Execute "Reindeer Flotilla"

Notable features include "dark message mode" to adapt message content to dark mode

This isn't a feature, it's a bug fix. And, it's long overdue. But, huge thanks to the Thunderbird team for addressing this.

The myocarditis risk is higher from catching COVID. Getting vaccinated is lower risk than catching the disease, for all age groups.

Getting vaccinated does not decrease your risk of catching the disease. It's only purported to lessen the severity.

So, if you're just as likely to catch COVID regardless of vaccination status, and the vaccine itself is known to sometimes cause myocarditis... follow me here... getting vaccinated increases the number of vectors by which you can get myocarditis.

So, specifically, from which scientific fields will we lose all of this talent, and to which countries will these people be moving? Further, in what ways will the NSF counterparts in these supposed other countries benefit R&D by foreign researchers?

*Takes quick perusal of the article* Ah, it's DEI bullshit that's being cut here. And, the likelihood of any of this research being funded by another country (other than Canada) is highly dubious. Therefore, the entire premise of this article is laughable. No scientific talent will be "lost to overseas competitors".
