Because Pollock would smash it with a masterpiece right out of his cellphone? This is cute but not a great device to reveal the truth to the uneducated

And I prefer cold committee who measure risk and are committed to some public values. You choose silicone valley, VCs and no public healthcare. I prefer the Norwegian model.
Great, so we only want the real high risk takers, the top gamblers,to play in the big league. Those who are so rich they no way to lose their personal comfort and are blind to the personal risk - and probably are careless about anyone's else just as well

Re:I Switched to Firefox and Never Looked Back on Tuesday January 14, 2025 @02:21PM (#42702389)
Since the development is done in chromium, adding owners to the project, maybe changing governance similar to Kubernetes and the CNCF, could help steering the anti-trust away and benefit the industry as a side effect.

The origin(al) is developed within the chromium project, Chrome is already a Google styled chromium fork.

Citation needed. The word reasoning isn't describing everything that the brain does, and "just following the most used neuron" is not even wrong.

Read when they are asleep. I also read when sitting next to my son on his bed, after I read him a book, while waiting for him to fall asleep
All three sentences or only the one about chess?
Basketball is a game for tall people. Lifting is a sport for strong people. Chess is a game for smart people. Is that controversial or incompatible with 5 year old kids playing chess?
Re:Are Immutable Linux Distros right for you? on Thursday December 26, 2024 @05:57PM (#42518514)
Despite the name, that's not what immutable distros are for. GKE won't let yet restore previous generation of configured and component versioned base image.
Re:Are Immutable Linux Distros right for you? on Thursday December 26, 2024 @04:22AM (#42514104)
The difference is that one is immutable and the other is not. One can be rolled back to earlier version while retaining user data and the other doesn't offer that ability.

Having regular contact with a wife and kids makes you far from being a Hikikomori.
Thanks for the understanding. I'll say that because of that we should make the price for using the device much higher. For example using it should require authorization by process that will involve a stiff political price/barrier. Maybe a bi-partisan committee. Something of that sort.
Got it. You are arguing with yourself. Good luck
I have no idea what you are talking about. Ok is a value judgment which I didn't state. Allowed is a fact. Are you arguing with what I'm saying or with an opponent in your mind?
It is not hypothetical, the fact is that killing drones are used in practice, and it just doesn't make sense to oppose lesser measures that are being used without judgement when killing is allowed.
I didn't say if I think that drone killing is justified or not, since I have no opinion on that - I don't know enough to form an opinion. I only say that since the government have the right to send killing drone it doesn't make sense to raise pitchforks against phone hacking
I agree with the first part, at least in spirit.

The second part though doesn't make sense. If the US president can send drones to kill terrorists without taking them to court, surely he can order hacking their phones. If you think that there's no case where the latter is ok you shouldn't you fight against the former first?

And the pedestrians?
Re:Project Sid: Many-agent simulations toward AI civilization on Sunday November 03, 2024 @06:30PM (#42036993)
> We developed most of our civilization while there was enough room for growing and big decisions were centralized, and started to get into bad troubles when things became global enough.

Citation needed. But even if I will get on board with you on that, wouldn't it be to start developing for global scale right from the start, instead of starting in small local islands and then try to rework that into global ecosystem?

Annoying until you learn to disable it or learn what it is good for and how to configure it so that it will work for you.

It's annoying because it's a change in system that you are familiar with and you can trip on it you if you are not familiar with it, not because it is not useful or great challenge to configure right.

Crowdstrike provided everyone on the planet with a very strong signal of the the importance of OS security
Is it? Do Fedora or Ubuntu provide an API like that?

Yes, they are. The situation is awful. And it's sad that you are lacking the moral capacity for distinguishing between bad and evil.
