Feels like you just want to moan.
Why compare it to nuclear rather than what’s currently being used in that area? Coal and gas.
Nuclear is good for providing a stable base load, but having the entire grid be nuclear would be very expensive. And if everyone were to do the same, the market cost of fissile fuel materials would skyrocket.
Lots of solar and wind in the energy mix is a no-brainer.
This is such a depressing read. So fucked up. How can people be this evil?
I’m glad this has become illegal, but I’m sad it even had to be in the first place.
One way to interpret this is “ha, people consider AI worthless!”
However another way to interpret this is the same way users view everything on the web, from social media to journalism and media streaming: this should be free and they should use my data and advertise to me instead, consequences/enshittification be damned.
Break the law and pay 0.014% of your market cap, or 0.31% of their 2024 profit.
Tech firms will suggest any invasive nonsense that will make them money.
Those present included representatives of Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Palantir, which works closely with the US military
A completely unsurprising list of companies lol
Ok so you think that the old 4" screen phones should actually have been sub 2". That seems excessively small to me.
Arguably. Or it’s just what the dev team was used to. Or a bunch of other explanations.
I just don’t find “a historic Germanic group of settlers that immigrated to medieval Britain are purposely neglecting unicode support as a means to suppress people that aren’t part of their group.”
Going through their post history, they seem obsessed with the “Anglo Saxons”.
Just a bizarre conspiracy theory from a one day old account that’s also advocating for genociding everyone in the middle east lol
To be fair, the term “AI” has always been used in an extremely vague way.
NPCs in video games, chess computers, or other such tech are not sentient and do not have general intelligence, yet we’ve been referring to those as “AI” for decades without anybody taking an issue with it.
No they are not.
Anglo-Saxon? Lmao what a bizarre way to talk. Not that it even makes sense considering Anglo-Saxon settlers in the US weren’t even close to being the majority.
It’s down to unicode support. Not a plot from “Anglo-Saxons” to keep others in their place lol
I think this is a sane choice for now, but this really should be a warning shot to the likes of Valve (to be clear, Valve is great for Linux overall, and I’m extremely appreciative of that), that 32-bit needs to go, and Valve cannot expect every single distro out there to maintain 32-bit support forever just for them.
Sooner or later they’re going to have to bundle a 32-to-64-bit translation layer, like they’re already doing with Proton, and also with their x86-to-ARM stuff they’re working on.
These maintainers are spending their own time and often money expecting nothing in return. If they don’t want to continue supporting 32-bit, they are fully within their right to do so.
I understand the fear of having to move distro, but some of the hate I’ve seen levied towards the Fedora maintainers over this is really vile. They don’t owe you a damn thing.
I don’t think that’s true in the slightest. A phone 2.1" smaller in diagonal length than my current one would be smaller than a Nokia 3310.
That’s exactly my point.
Presumably you’re paid for the work you do, and you shouldn’t have to do it for free, yes?
I imagine you wouldn’t be saying this if it was your work being used.
If you went through the painstaking effort or writing a book or something, I imagine you’d be pretty unhappy if nobody wanted to reimburse you, and you were called a cunt for wanting to be paid for your labour.
Considering they’re an enterprise player, and so well-known, that actually seems surprisingly low to me, especially since that’s revenue not profit.
Why is Polution per GDP a better measure?
They wanted a measure that makes China look better.
Like I just said, my current 6.3" display phone is almost identical in size to my old 4.2" one.
You are genuinely the first person I’ve seen online who understands screen size != Phone size, because bezels exist and are different sized from phone to phone.
My current 6.3" screen phone is virtually identical in size to the 4.2" one I had in 2012.
I miss the internet being a wild west.
It certainly had its downsides, but it felt a lot better than the nonsense that’s been happening over the past decade+.
