We had a good few years at some point, with a reasonable offer that fulfilled a need: pay a subscription to Netflix, get lots of films and series. Those times are long gone and that's no consumer's fault, the culprit is the greed of the rich wanting to get richer. Hit them where it matters by making it unprofitable to be greedy. I'm not paying for multiple subscriptions, that's stupid, I am not a resource to be milked for profit. Unlike with music, pirating video content made for mass consumption has never been as ethical as it is now.

My intuitive, out-of-the-box 2 cents: it sounds like you're not autistic. That puts you in the minority here.

He is one of very few in a position to take a principled stand and he's doing it, we should all be grateful for it. People at the top are often risk-averse and that's how nothing changes for the better.

The issue is that tools give people the impression that they can escape responsibility and therefore accountability. And if the law confirms that, we're all fucked. So there needs to be a severe sanction against someone, and I mean a real person, not a fine to a company. Otherwise we create dystopia one step at a time.

I don't deny anything, I'm not sure where you got that idea. I also don't know why you feel the need to be aggressive but it's off-putting.

I asked for specific examples of your claim. I haven't used windows in ages so I have no idea, genuinely. No need to write a long ranty answer with zero example. I'm also interested in where you get this value of 20%, I have only encountered rare cases of games that do not work with proton and I think they have been fixed since then; but this might say more about my taste in games than anything else.

Which loss of functionality are you referring to?

There are plenty of women who are not like that, in fact they are the vast majority I believe, I hope you end up finding them. You may have to look in different places or with a different mindset. A first step would be to not waste your time with anyone who feels entitled to you buying them food or drinks. Start on a basis of equality and independence, and you won't have to deal with entitlement. Of course the people you meet this way will have no patience for any form of entitlement coming from you either, fair is fair.

It seems like you are conflating "AI" with "LLMs". I think it's a mistake. There are better AI tools than LLMs for pricing.

Does TFA say that this is LLM-powered? I didn't find such a statement, maybe I glanced too fast. I would find it surprising that they use an LLM for that. Pricing is generally an optimisation problem, LLMs are not very good at optimisation. "How much is a person willing to pay" is a prediction problem and there's also algorithms better and cheaper than LLMs for that.

The keyword is "overreliance". That automatically makes it a human mistake, not an AI mistake, because the humans choose how much they rely on the tool.

The Rust version is licensed under the MIT license, in case anyone was wondering. The Ubuntu Discourse post says the change is not about licensing, but about security. What it does not provide is any kind of statistic on security issues related to coreutils.

It's weird mental gymnastics to call a union a "labor monopoly" to support drawing a false equivalence. Monopolies are generally disliked, not just by D people, because they prevent free competition, which is a staple of US economic and social policy. It's about protecting consumers and entrepreneurs. A union is about protecting workers. Both anti-monopoly laws and labour unions are about protecting people from nefarious effects of a completely unregulated market. The fact that the same people who want to have a monopoly also hate unions should tell you something.

This will not happen. Apple and Android do not want to abandon whole markets to competitors, they want to dominate these markets. This is a weird fantasy that keeps popping up, usually from people who are proud of being from the US and champion a weird understanding of freedom of expression and freedom of choice. Apple and Android are not interested in freedom; they want your money, brain bandwidth, and everybody else's. Give it to them in a totalitarian society and they will happily take it.

America is not a country.
