Pretty noticeable that Gentoo Linux doesn’t offer an option to compile OnlyOffice locally—it’s only available as a -bin package, which means that it’s precompiled by upstream. That tells me that either the available source is too incomplete to actually compile the software from, or it has some really strange licensing. Either way, it can’t be open-source software in the accepted sense.
The chain of trust starts with the owner of the hardware, not some random corporation that happens to make an OS. The owner can, if they wish, outsource the root of the chain of trust to a corporation, but that should be an active decision on their part, not something that happens just because the hardware was shipped with some random OS preloaded.
Don’t spread your legs for the cash.
Sex work is at least honest commerce. Don’t denigrate it by comparing it to the US’s political circus.
. . . And then the market will be flooded with RAM that companies preordered and can’t pay for, because the AI bubble burst before it could be manufactured.
Hey, I can dream, right? And seriously, I would be quite happy if this causes an increase in dumb appliances, devices, and cars in the meanwhile.
Artisan basketweaving likely has a sunnier future than, say, auto manufacturing, under current circumstances.
Always the same excuse—when will someone in a position to do something finally call them on this?
Actually, I’d interpret it as him losing his job in 18 months regardless of whether he succeeds or fails, since management is a white-collar job.
Certainly whoever wrote that didn’t do a lot of distro-hopping. As far as I can tell, Gentoo still includes sys-apps/net-tools in the @system set, meaning that it’s not only installed by default, but it’s quite difficult to remove.
How concerned should I be when the documentation for complex devices coming out of China always seems to be so bad that no one except the people who designed them can program them anyway?
Probably because “physical education” is itself bullshit. It neither provides enough activity for the students who are already active and athletic, nor encourages the students who are not active to change their ways (in my experience, it does exactly the opposite). I was overjoyed to be able to drop it after my first year of high school.
That’s because someone took the time to pull out the minimum required interface code from systemd to make elogind after gnome made such a mess of things. It’s a band-aid. More band-aids will no doubt be created to deal with this. It’s just that the necessity is annoying.
Telemedicine: better than nothing, already used a fair amount in the more inaccessible parts of Canada (ideally in combination with a nursing station so there’s someone with some training available to do things that absolutely need hands on location).
AI medicine: likely worse than nothing, some people are going to get killed.
They do make hardware in most of those categories, actually, but they don’t sell much of it direct to consumer in the West. And unfortunately, the way things are going, they’re going to be able to get better prices for it from the AI-entranced idiots too.
They’re really optimizing for the income of the people who make the apps. No surprise there.
Well, the US government isn’t openly and directly supporting Russia’s invasion, and there’s bound to be some goodwill left over from previous administrations. Plus, some individual Americans and US-based charities are probably still trying to be helpful. We can’t be sure exactly what respondants to the poll took into account when answering it.
And thus begins the three-legged race between imaged-based age verification and kids. (Prediction: the kids will win, but it will take the other side a looooong time to admit it.)
LLMs need to have the same warnings attached as the old psychic hotlines: “Must be 18. For entertainment only.”
That being said, I’m not sure that this is any more ridiculous than an ad asking for ten years’ experience with a piece of software that’s only existed for three. HR departments have never had much contact with reality.
Probably not a deliberate effort on the part of foreign actors or domestic terrorists, but I question whether this would have happened without examples from the US. Remember, the last school shooting of any sort in Canada was the Ecole Polytechnique—which took place before the likely perpetrator here was born.
Perhaps it was supposed to extend an invitation to join the EU, and got lost on the way to Ottawa.
Thing is, that means you don’t really own the hardware that you buy, because a corporation is dictating what you can do with it even though it doesn’t belong to them. Most of us consider that unacceptable.
