This 100%, too many musk fanboys don’t understand how much he is actually hindering innovation.

Even at SpaceX they make more progress when he isn’t involved.

At least an expensive car is usually a better product though, so many of these t-shirts are simply cheap cotton but the price is $$$$ because the logo of a company that also makes actually expensive products is on it.

Makes sense, but to me going from 1.5% to 1.3% on a prediction for 3 years in the future seems like a pretty insignificant difference, especially since it will probably change between now and then.

£22B for the NHS is the best news I’ve heard in a while, and even then it is only barely keeping it in line with previous investment as a % of GDP. This investment is sorely needed so if taxes have to go up to pay for it they have to go up. If we want growth rejoin the EU and then our taxes can come down again, but none of the major parties are willing to have that conversation.

You seem to be in the camp of believing the hype. See this write up of an apple paper detailing how adding simple statements that should not impact the answer to the question severely disrupts many of the top model’s abilities.

In Bloom’s taxonomy of the 6 stages of higher level thinking I would say they enter the second stage of ‘understanding’ only in a small number of contexts, but we give them so much credit because as a society our supposed intelligence tests for people have always been more like memory tests.

This is now top of my list

The first line of that article is

Without citing a source, Channel 12 reports…

Please try harder. There are people dying because of misinformation.

We were told he was fortified in a tunnel network surrounded by bodyguards and hostages as human shields, like some terrorist mastermind.

He is killed running alone from one bombed out house to another, by a soldier that didn’t even recognize him.

Not saying he shouldn’t have been killed, but it really shows the false pretenses under which this ‘war’ is being carried out.

Definitely had issues on first release, but a lot has improved since then without getting much coverage. Btw I wouldn’t say that x86 has ‘caught up’ especially if your metric is power efficiency, not just raw power. Until we see a realistic RISC-V offering arm will likely remain king in that space.

Single point of failure for all my usernames and passwords? No thanks

They were humans pretending to be robots, these are actually robots that are being remotely controlled, rather than being fully autonomous.

‘Xitter’ is pronounced ‘Shitter’ and is common a playful joke

Pretty sure you already can’t block him specifically, I’m not on Xitter but have heard from several people this is the case.

Binary Large OBject

Basically any binary file, often objected to in open source repos because of the lack of source and ‘openness’. See also the recent xz backdoor.

It also doesn’t run off battery power, hardly apples to apples.

Presumably it will come back as some free-to-play, live-service microtransaction-filled nightmare that can be supported by a few whales and eventually make up the cost

The Internet Archive does not create shareholder value

Nobody is attacking your free choice, they’re literally trying to give you another option. That’s what free choice is all about.

If you are making an informed devision to remain with windows as it gets worse and worse, then that is up to you, but don’t come at people for trying to offer you an alternative just because you’ve made that decision.

Bit weird to be so angry about this. The commenter is not ‘basically just another marketer’ because they have nothing (financial or otherwise) to gain from others using linux. They genuinely believe it is a better product and it is in your interests to use it.

Direct your anger at Microsoft if you feel as though you are being forced to do anything, they the ones choosing to enshitify Windows, and removing it as a viable option.

pedant?

Sorry

Making a platform that was simply a copy of all of Steam’s features would certainly take a lot of time. That’s why to break into the space a new platform would need to actually innovate a killer feature that brings early adopters to it even without having all the bells and whistles Steam has. Then the user base can and will grow as you fill in the gaps so the ‘sacrifice’ of using your platform is lessened.

All exclusive games do is build resentment in your customers at being forced to use an inferior product.
