Climate scientists: "do these things to fix climate change"
Everyone: "but that's HAAARD and I don't wanna!"
AI developers: create AI
Climate scientists: "AI is drawing massive power accelerating climate change, we need to stop that"
Everyone: "but it can tell us how to fix climate change so it's going to be okay!"
AI climate model: "do these same things to fix climate change"
Everyone: "but that's HAAARD and I don't wanna!"
Yeah, I can't see any way this could possibly fail...
Fedora is not rolling at all, it just has a fast release cycle
It is not randomly frozen as Mint does follow Ubuntu's LTS releases, every new version they put out is based on whatever the current Ubuntu LTS is. Their release cadence isn't linked that closely as a new LTS usually takes a few months to spawn a new Mint release based on it, but they aren't just freezing some arbitrary point in time of development.
If you mean Ubuntu is randomly frozen, it isn't either. It follows a release schedule, determines a roadmap, and at a certain predetermined point in developing a new release, they do freeze for new versions so they can complete testing and ensure everything works together in time to release on schedule. It's certainly not "random".
And that's also not what stability means. Stability means functionality doesn't change, so an up to date Mint 21.3 installed on release is going to be the same as one installed and updated now, functionally speaking. This is accomplished by only backporting important security patches and bug fixes to the version of the software that's used by the system rather than getting it with new versions where there are new features and changes to existing functionality that can break things based on the previous version. This does not mean it gets all fixes, just the ones they deem worth the effort of backporting.
I mean, that's definitely a downside to long term stable distros. So, basically, the choice is between that and a rolling release which has the downside of the possibility of things breaking on update and never really having an easily reproducible build
But it's not randomly frozen, it's tied to Ubuntu's LTS builds. And they didn't say "stable" is the same as "works well", they said Mint is both (which is true from my experience at least)
If you need newer packages with Mint, Flatpak is a good way to go (yes it has its own issues, but they do work well for a lot of people)
It's worse than that: it requires the old school lead acid 12v battery to be charged, so even if the car's battery is full, it doesn't matter if that old car battery has failed
That's not unique to Tesla EVs, but it being required to open the doors may be (the 12v lead acid runs the general vehicle electronics rather than down converting the 400v or 800v main battery... I don't understand that decision, but I'm no electronics expert so there may be really good reasons for it...)
So you want to throw a brick through OneDrive's Windows?
I'm seeing that a hell of a lot this year... Linux might actually finally make some real headwind with the tech crowd
Give it a go, it was surprisingly not as big an issue as I thought it would be, even for gaming (though not perfect for gaming, I've been able to get things working without too much headache at least)
Oh, that's okay though, you signed them the rights to do that by having an account with them
... I'm sure is how they'll spin it
And exactly where do you propose they talk about it and actually have people see it?
When I rebuilt mine a few months back, I got two drives so I could put windows on one of them, and mounted my old drives for the same reason... I've barely touched the old data and the second SSD has not even been formatted yet, and when I do it'll probably be to give my current system more space
I'm pretty sure their ad revenue from their own pages is a tiny fraction of their overall advertising revenue... They basically own the advertising market online, almost anywhere you see ads googie is getting a cut
Tesla isn't a car... It's an EXPERIENCE!!!
(/s just in case it isn't obvious enough)
Nah, it's 53 billion for each
Thank you for providing the good reasons for it, it makes much more sense now
The accounts started out optional with benefits to entice
They're now mandatory for Home and hard to bypass
How long before they extend this to Pro and Enterprise? To Server? To Active Directory itself?
They're not done yet, not by a long shot.
Depending on use case, virtualization can actually be way easier
Last couple cars I've had that's been a setting you can change... I set mine to lock when the car moves at more than a few mph, the other options seemed like too high a chance to cause an accidental lockout to me
Does that make it better?
Worse, the harder they try to stop it, the shittier the experience gets for their paying customers, but not for the pirates really. At that point, why would anyone want to pay for a crappy experience being treated like a thief when you can save your money and actually be a "thief" (at least in their eyes) while being treated like a paying customer?
Is this news? This is expected, it's what they did with 7 and XP after those reached full EOL, which happened on the day they said it would for 7 at the time 7 launched, and a few years after the date they said when XP launched.
The 2025 date has been known since 2015 when 10 launched and is the standard Microsoft ten year support cycle for operating systems.
And yet, in spite of this, every single time the tech media published these breathless and shocked articles about how horrible it is that Microsoft is suddenly dropping support for their ten year old systems.
These articles are like clockwork. I'd say we'll be getting them for Windows 11 in about seven or eight years, but they have a new "modern" lifestyle they've adopted for it that's more based on last major update release or something and it'll probably come sooner than that this time around.
I just got that on my Roku device and clicked through it without even realizing because it was the exact type of pop-up and position and timing as when it informs me that the micro SD card has successfully mounted, and it took my brain a second to register that 1) the pop-up was much larger, and 2) I briefly saw a word that looked like "arbitration"
How can this be a legally enforceable contract?! Especially considering if I didn't agree, my device that I've already paid for and have been using would cease functioning and they sure as hell aren't going to refund my purchase from years ago if I refuse
Wait, they still have devs? I thought they fired all of them already...
That one wasn't the customer feeding it exactly what to say, though, it was the customer asking how to get a discounted price honored, what steps they would need to take, and they followed the chat bot's instruction... A customer using a company's bot in good faith to understand how a process works (one of the things it was supposedly meant for) is not the same as one blatantly abusing the bot's design to get money for nothing.
Feels like they should, I'm not exactly thrilled by the idea of my tax dollars going into Musk's pocket just for the hell of it
Ew.
Just looks like a bunch of stars to me
How can we expect a predictive language model trained on our violent history to come up with non-violent solutions in any consistent fashion?
While this is true, the flip side of that is that being a publicly traded company all but guarantees they'll be forced to make bad decisions. So, the original point still stands: more companies should do this. They may be shitty anyway, but at least they'll be shitty on their own terms and have the best chance of not being shitty.
"Foolish mortals" is my go-to gender neutral form of address
But it's also told to be completely unbiased!
That prompt is so contradictory i don't know how anyone or anything could ever hope to follow it
Nice, anti homeless and anti disabled all at once (lack of streetside seating makes getting around challenging for mobility limited people)
Not to be a jerk, but is this actually new? I've heard of this being done at least ten years ago...
On another note, one way to beat this (to a degree) would be to use an alternate keyboard like Dvorak (though you could probably code it to be able to detect that based on what's being typed)
I tried all that but accidentally installed Linux at the last step, but it seems to have fixed the issue so I'm suggesting it as a functioning workaround to all of my colleagues
Yes, that's the story it's telling
Not just you... I've had both clean and explicit versions playing of the same songs coming up randomly and it's annoying.
I legit want an option to only use the explicit versions, the clean ones never sound good where they clean it up, and sometimes they even use those stupid sound effects that just frankly destroy the song. If the service only has the clean version, I think I'd rather it just not play it at all
As a sysadmin, the sysadmin parts are 100% true
Wait, really? It's not even that big a change! That's a hell of a thing to cut and run for
Hmm... If that's the case, that's news to me. I'll admit I don't do much with Fedora, I'll have to take a closer look at them.
