The current US Secretary of Education considers her primary task to be dismantling the Department of Education, so it seems unlikely she'd intervene.

I like DuckDuckGo's approach to this. They let you choose how integrated the AI should be in their responses, and also give you a "No AI" launch page if you prefer:

That's pretty much current-day Apple in a nutshell.

Nah, the first time it just fires a warning shot.

Oh man, I remember that. Over several months, Microsoft issued something like 60 consecutive patches ahead of the change... and everyone's Outlook calendar meeting entries were still off by an hour.

It matters not. Murphy is merely a puppet of Thanos, who has a sinister plan for Lumentum.

It's possible TFS is over-simplifying the design of the new system, but - why no ssh and no package manager? Why not make the underlying OS signed and immutable, but still allow stuff to be added / saved / deleted in userland? I'd think that would make for a significantly more user-friendly system with arguably only small security tradeoffs.

Sort of a cross between SELinux and macOS' security model, I suppose (and really Leonnart's ideas always seem to be riffs off macOS anyway).

Hey, you can still use the term "SI"... just have it represent "Slop Intelligence".

You had your own socks? Boy, you were lucky. I had to share a single pair of socks with my nine brothers and sisters.

In 1974 kids walked to school in the morning... uphill, in the snow. Then in the evenings they walked home, uphill again, and in the snow again.

How do I know? Because I was one of those kids. So you can take my word as gospel.

The real problem with blankets is how, in the middle of the night, they somehow magically move completely over to the woman's side of the bed without her being responsible for it at all.

I was unaware organic molecules had developed protective gear and spaceships. Thanks for the info!
