A technical issue. There are legal opinions on data rights casualties going back to the beginning of the public telephone networks. You backtrack through all that and the core of it is; whoever archives and serves the data owns it. I know, "it's your data..." and there are laws to prove it. Bullshit, they don't care and you cant monetize "your data" to support GDP. I'm convinced that the only acceptable solution was from the beginning, for individuals to seriously maintain private databases and data links to personal devices. Securing one's person and all that..... We were just too stupid and lazy to acknowledge the obvious threat as a threat. After all it's not like some people didn't see this coming, most didn't care.

I really do not think you believe any of what you posted.

Is the tool the problem or its it the way our civilization forces artistic expression underground in favor of the easy to clone and mass produce? LLM's are not causing anyone create the next linux or windows while the next easiest way to exploit the likes is always a year away.

I am guessing that broadcast copyright standards make that impractical and making other content part of the stream also makes someone responsible for such content who does not want to be. Then again broadcast networks would produce much of the adverts they showed and they had contracts with each other to show such content. I imagine a similar environment would complicate the idea of personal video posts quite a bit.

You must have not known about the SCSI/T1 driver on those TRS tandys.... !

Nice. Do you recall the usenet conversations about a HURD port for c64? or a few years later about HURD completely merging the Linux kernel ....?

It does not, I agree. Or for lab environments where you hope to tinker with the kernel. Distros nowadays don't have a bare bones profile so you can't just remove many things you don't need without breaking it and systemd does not help.

managing hundreds of machines with basic tools is a chore. I also believe that that argument for systemd was, vm users don't need to control their own environments and process 1 needs to be wrapped while the hub administrator needs a uniform way to configure those machines.

i don't know lately but string functions were often a way to force debugging i/o. kind of a bug becoming a feature.

To complain about corporate funded and developed AI while embracing the seemingly limitless influence corporate bodies have over society is pointless i think.

Just the same at least one state, California is setting to maybe challenge. My reaction personally has been to steadily reduce my consumption of entertainment media over the years, the infallible way to show discontent while supporting constructive opinions that matter.

This makes me recall how Fox News personalities would talk about Trump destroying CNN even before his first term. Or his bid to take over CBS. or his attempt to be on the board at HBO.... what did he say " they need one and they need me...."?

Dangerously I think. When has appeasing a President's personal wish list not been an anti trust argument?

Whatever NASA forgot how to do 25 years ago they are beginning to remember...

Governments will define "sovereignty" geographically first then amend what will fall within that "domain" of responsibility. That is always a lot to all potential users. And nothing scales to fit like a cloud environment.
