Yes how dare you challenge our opinions!

I’m not sure what we’re arguing about now, but I’m convinced it’s not the original point I was trying to make. I think both of our lives are too short to carry this one. Have a good evening.

Volunteer adoption of a system found to be better by distro maintainers is not the same as forced adoption of a system distro maintainers don’t find to be better.

But this proposal for a full auth-chain isn’t a proposal by Linus and many thousands contributors. It’s the proposal of a commercial entity that doesn’t control Linux in any way.

The method they’ve used is pretty sound, though.

Are you saying the impact is unquantifiable?

It’s Linux. In what world do you imagine there wouldn’t be 87 forks that went in a different direction.

Linux cannot be controlled, at least as it stands today.

When Linus disappears I have some fears. But jerk as he may be, he’s also incredibly effective at keeping it open.

I’ve stayed away from Facebook since forever. It was a principle for me, for a long time.

Then I realised that, at least here where I live, whether I like it or not, if I need to engage with something local (local game group, neighbour discussion, updates from the council etc.) Facebook is actually the better place to do it, because it solves a discovery problem that WhatsApp hasn’t really (and where a lot of local stuff also congregates).

I still deeply dislike it and stay away from it. But on the odd occasion I need/offer something from/to the local area, it’s the only game in town.

Town being south of in the UK.

Depends on where you are and the conditions of storage. If the fuel has a lot of ethanol and it’s been stored in a damp environment, I definitely wouldn’t characterise it as brand new.

But yeah, drop it in the car and top of with fresh fuel and you’ll be fine.

For the front to stay on!

It wasn’t designed for the front to fall off, that’s for sure!

Good friend of mine was high up in the advertisement industry. Think Mad Men today.

He is utterly disillusioned by what his industry is advertising, how it works, what it does and who does it. They all know they’re just making the merry go round spin faster and faster towards catastrophe.

How may Windows engineers have you met?

99% of the ones I met and worked with were very, very good.

Don’t confuse maintaining backwards compatibility and managing real concerns of large customers with bad engineering.

It makes little difference IMHO. If you crash the car, you can’t escape liability blaming self driving.

Likewise, if you commit it, you own it, however it’s generated.

OP is obviously ignorant of how much tooling has already helped write boiler plate code.

Besides AI code is actually one of the things that’s harder to detect, compared to prose.

And all that said, AI is doing an amazing job writing a lot of the boilerplate TDD tests etc. To pretend otherwise is to ignore facts.

AI can actually write great code, but it needs an incredibly amount of tests wrapped around and a strict architecture that it’s forced to stick to. Yes, it’s far too happy sprinkling magic constants and repeat code, so it needs a considerable amount of support to clean that up … but it’s still vastly faster to write good code with an AI held on a short leash than it is to write good code by hand.

It’s from everywhere tbh. But the EU is certainly the largest, most forceful block in getting age verification pushed through.

The only upside is that the EU proposal demands ZKP, whereas all others are happy to accept/prefer “prove who you are”. That’s obviously an insane privacy nightmare.

Making you aware that the age requirement probably comes from the EU. Seeking another EU based solution might introduce the same requirement.

That has got to be sarcasm.

Cries in European.
