For Linux (Debian in particular), it's more like encourage and assist. You can use whatever version you want, if you know what you're doing.

They're brilliant at making games. They have their suite of exclusives that people love and will buy the console for. And they keep a consistently high quality bar for those games. Even the worst Mario game was still good. Same for Zelda. Same for Metroid. As long as they keep that the case, and their consoles are reasonably priced they'll sell. Which, combined with cheaper parts, is why they generally made a profit per console rather than a loss.

Xbox and PS don't have that. They used to each have some exclusives- but they've gone away from that road due to the high cost of creating them (Nintendo's focus on gameplay over high end graphics also reduced the cost of making a game). Even the exclusives they do have don't have the reputation for quality- they tend to run hot and cold. And MS in particular has waffled between wanting to push xbox vs PC gaming, reducing the number of exclusives as they launch on PC. It leaves them in a place where there's no driver for their new product other than better graphics quality. And with the economy tightening, that's something that will be dropped first.

They're admitting that they are incapable of managing this technology, and are in way over their heads.

You're exaggerating or incorrect about a few things as drinkypoo mentioned but I am with you on not everything needing SSL. Static, low-risk content, where there's little harm possible from MitM (eg, some big media file especially where you're going to check md5sum anyway, text files with random jokes, collections of memes, tbh like half the pointless bs people post on social media), is probably fine to put on plain http. It's annoying that when I put stuff like that on http to save some cycles on a tiny server, nearly every web browser does "OOH BIG SCARY YOU'RE BEING HACKED OMG!!!! ALERT ALERT ALERT!!!".

To be fair, the people who understand how to manage risk probably can handle that browser interstitial without freaking out, but still.

And all of the cloud and SSL providers are now insistent that they know what's best for the web, requiring public expiration to get so short â" which just so happens to be a great way to sell more certificates and managed cloud services.

At least Let's Encrypt exists, but you have to wonder if that will always be the case...

I suspect that Flock's contract allows them access to the cameras for maintenance (or any) purposes.

To which field? Math? Not even close. Data theft? absolutely.

If the mathematicians ever used ChatGPT to talk about math, then that is the source of the results. LLMs, by definition, cannot usefully contribute to anything that requires more than rearranging existing data. Rearranging existing data is their only function.

My job requires us to use Teams for our remote meetings, and it is good in some ways and complete shit in others. The meeting quality is fine, but it can't even go into full screen video.
We use Jabber for other remote meetings, and it has a full screen option. I've used Jitsi for other personal meetings, and it goes into full screen just fine.

I hated Teams at first, because I was used to Jabber. Now I am still not at all happy with Teams, but I hate it less because I've learned were most things are. It is NOT an intuitive program AT ALL, but I've learned how to use what I need. They will get used to Element.

That would require him considering women as human beings rather than objects to fuck. He isn't capable of that.

Sometimes that choice is the right one. Not all parents are good parents. Some are downright toxic.

Yes, there is no such thing as a "rogue" AI. These are programs that were intentionally pointed at targets. They are more advanced script kiddies, and are otherwise no different from traditional hackers. They are borderline terrorists since their objective is to bring about political change through fear.

OO delivers very well if you know how to use it. If you don't know how to use it, then you will naturally get yourself into a situation you can't get out of, and therefore think the language doesn't work.

If OOP increases project costs, then you are absolutely using it wrong.

KDE is still awesome, despite it lacking a decent file manager. Konqueror used to be the best file manager I ever used, but then some moron decided to neuter it in favor of the massively worse Dolphin.

Kubuntu hasn't gone anywhere.

It's been a long slide downward, but AI will accelerate the need for exohertz computers to render a Mandelbrot set in less than a week.

You demonstrated in a sentence and a half that you don't have the slightest clue how object-oriented programming works.
