Re:Microsoft bans U.S. police departments from using enterprise AI tool
on Thursday May 02, 2024 @04:33PM (#40241071)
No one has pointed out that the AI companies are being sued for 'stealing' vast troves of copyrighted data, and the case is still in progress.
If the police departments are complicit, then does copyright stand to lose de facto as AI will only be increasingly implemented while the case slogs through the courts?

Virt-Manager does allow you to edit the xml config file by hand from within the interface. So, yes you can use ipv6; but no, it's not a convenient point and click gui interaction.
I'd be curious to hear the specific reasoning behind it.

Re:Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different?
on Friday December 29, 2023 @04:36PM (#38810481)
Qubes does allow creating a VM for just about any program or service. But, in my experience, it suffers from latency. So, while fine for web browsing, it wasn't too keen on playing videos. YMMV of course, but Adobe products are already hogs without the emu layer.

We're still finding roman coins in the UK, that should be enough physical evidence against the idea. But, I imagine salt would be useful for bartering with some of the "barbari" the soldiers encountered.

Re:How Turborepo is porting from Go to Rust
on Friday July 21, 2023 @11:18AM (#36814817)
People keep saying they need a light and fast distro - no systemd, no glibc - but it breaks a lot of other software. So, you need to be prepared to patch a lot of stuff, and build packages from source.
Personally, I would love more of them to consider FreeBSD. It's got all of those features, a linux compatibility layer if necessary, a more permissive license, etc. I'd just love to see a lot more developers helping over there.
