Have you not seen the vibe-coded mess that apps are these days?

So, xAI Grok then?

And I'm sure that "working group" won't come to the conclusion that this testing and certification process will need to be done by an "independent" contractor, where one of the President's dipshit kids just happens to sit on the board as of a few weeks ago.

This isn't a huge opportunity for corruption at all, especially against a handful of companies that have overwhelming amounts of investment.

Nope, not a grift at all!

Anyone else getting a chuckle out of the HDMI Consortium, the current ruling kings of proprietary technology and implementations now that the MPEG LA tripped over their own genitals and made themselves redundant, rejecting open source implementations as "proprietary technology"?

Fuck HDMI. I still don't know why people are using that shitty port when DisplayPort is royalty-free, has better specs, is supported by everyone, and can be used over other cables that don't have all the licensing attachment (USB-C for example).

Except for where that Bavarian party of "National Socialists" implemented fascism at scale, you might have a point.

Tell me you shouldn't make assumptions without telling me you shouldn't make assumptions.

Where did I ever say that I traded stocks?

Where did I ever say it wasn't a one-liner shitpost meant for a laugh?

Adjust your sensitivity knob. Yeesh.

Can we extend this to people that think a YouTube video is the proper place to give a tutorial on how to do something with a CLI?

Give me a text document I can read in 2 minutes, and copy and paste stuff out of. I'm not interested in your 10 minute screed asking me to like and subscribe while pitching advertised drek at me, without the most obvious help when I'm looking for your "content."

Because price collusion is illegal under several jurisdictions.

It could be freakin great though, if they adopted a bit of the Amazon logistics soup recipe. They have shitloads of pickup locations scattered about already.

It would be sweet if I could buy from eBay and go pick it up at a local GameStop for free / reduced price instead of paying to wait 3 weeks for the slowest media mail on the planet because the buyer wanted to use the shipping money as extra profit.

Riding their own status as a meme stock, I'm guessing.

These people are much more likely going to starve because of drought, or because excessive heat brings crops to their limits. In other words: less food is going to be produced, if large areas around the equator become infertile. Compared to this the almost nonsensical "research" of nutrient free tomatoes feels like rearranging deck chairs on an already sinking Titanic.

Whoever is meant by your comment could rightfully argue, that a local exploit like this one is completely shadowed by Microsoft's OWA and their Sharepoint exploits, which ravaged the whole industry only few years ago. And that person would be 100% correct with that statement.

You may begin to have a point, if we see Slashdot articles with 80+ comments about local Windows privilege escalation exploits.

It's kinda sad how many people don't know about the backports repo, and still bitch about old software versions.

Exactly. And at the same time as avoiding whatever the hell Canonical thinks we need, AI-wise, you also can completely ignore the fucking Snap bullshit.

Win / win.
