I'm flabbergasted that a trade group consisting 100% of organizations that publish closed-source software would be worried about having to comply with other people's licenses that require opening any changes / modifications / reuse made.

Which they were all told, very loudly, at the time they were making their purchases.

It's almost like people that don't know what the hell they're doing, might also not listen to people who actually do know what they're doing. Everyone except these idiots knew this was a play to turn government balance sheets into bagholders for well-assetted individuals.

Sounds like Musk bought a shitload of GPUs that he doesn't need, because nobody is using Grok besides idiots on Twitter to make "sick memes."

If they have all those GPUs energized and can afford to lease them to their competition, that just tells us nobody is using them.

Boo fucking hoo.

Don't sell people's private data, and you don't have to deal with the reputational damage that comes with selling people's private data.

That reputational damage would have occurred whether the FCC disclosed their behavior through regulatory filings and fines, or someone just wrote a story in ${PRESS_PUBLICATION}. And it's truthful behavior - they actually did the thing being said.

Fuck your "reputational harm" for doing exactly what is being said you are doing.

They already got "Justice" Thomas dissenting.

The other "conservative Justices" prefer private jet trips to private enclaves to have ridiculously expensive wines and caviar with benefactor billionaires who want influence.

Imagine everyone's shock and surprise.

My 2024 MacBook Pro does.

What a silly comment.

My introduction to this madness was the show "Luther".

I was like "how do you call 2 episodes of something on broadcast television a "series" ?

It just took too long. They leaned way too hard on the "we're stuck on this ship that's really showing it's age, and we have to solve these drastic issues with mere minutes to live" story, and it gets really annoying and repetitive when each episode is one aspect of trying to stay alive, with various characters having squabbles about their own selfish nonsense.

And then when they figured out that well was dry, then they had some oppressive mysterious alien show up who wants to kill the ship for reasons, and somehow is already staking out every single star system they can use to refuel.

How convenient.

The whole thing felt like a big retread of the same ideas they already were using for 15 seasons with these oppressive unassailable enemies that they somehow overcome:
1. Goa'uld
2. Replicators
3. Wraith
4. Ori

You can only retread the same basic story for so long before it starts to feel worn out.

When she quotes 16th century witch trials as justification for overturning 50 years of SCOTUS re-affirmed case law, get back to us. Scalia is far more incompetent and ridiculous.

Of course THIS congress isn't gonna do shit - the guys in charge are the anti-regulation anti-government set (until it's useful to have regulations and government for their own purposes, that is...)

The AI bros are way too busy donating to re-election campaigns because they DO NOT WANT regulation of any kind, and the guys in power right now can keep collecting that money by doing nothing at all - something this Congress has shown an relenting capacity to do.

Sorry, not obsequious enough.

It had better be a bag of $250 TrumpBills, or some gold-plated gee-gaw to mount in the Decoration-By-Liberace Oval Office. You know, like a FIFA "World Peace Prize" for the guy who started an illegal and unnecessary war in Iran with no complete-able or enumerated objectives which only served to make Iran more powerful in it's ability to fuck everything up.

Please explain how he had a big ass bandage on his ear one week (to the point of the sycophants putting their own ear bandages on in an ever-expanding attempt to ingratiate themselves to "dear leader"), and then not so much as a scab the next week or any point afterward.

Once anyone can do that, then maybe I'll start believing some of this bullshit.

Sounds like Microsoft wants to get beat up in federal court. Again.

How many laptop users frequently change their bootloaders? Is this a thing people do all the time, or just the first time transitioning from Windows to not-just-Windows?

Are we looking for problems to solve? If a bootloader can bootstrap your OS kernel, that's all you need, no? So what are we talking about here? If you can throw Grub on there, and Grub gets you a kernel / rootfs, we're good, right?

Nvidia already knows how to make a proper EFI setup that doesn't lock anyone out, and has the requisite EFI drivers for enrolling keys in the TPM to approve any OS you want to load through Secure Boot.
Nvidia is working with Microsoft to make sure that the arm64 variant of Windows works on the thing.

Unless you have some concrete proof that this barely-announced device will be irretrievably locked down to Windows-only booting, what are we complaining about?
