I agree with this for the most part but "just build a better browser" is naive. For starters, everyone has a different of what "better" is. I'm actually pretty happy with Firefox for the most part and I think being the company that sells safety is a good fit for Mozilla to move into.

This sounds like you are trying to gaslight yourself. Gelsinger did not get rid of an "ineffective leader." Koduri left to go do something else.

> The behavior you're describing is not limited to developers..any profession that has a specialized set of skills and a specialized language that only the "in" people understand has the same issues.

You can use specialized language without having the attitude of a condescending prick.

They specifically address works that use AI but are sufficiently modified by a human

> When our technology will let us stop polluting without giving up comfort, that will be the right time to stop polluting.

Technology has reached this point a long time ago. Politics have not.

Red Hat uses a very similar business model providing managed enterprise features on top of open source.

There is no incompatibility between Open Core and profit. There is an incompability between FOSS and profit but the motives of "Open Core" are transparent and always have been. It's always been a marketing scheme to entice people into using the full product once your business scales and I don't see the problem with wanting people to buy-in if they are using in at that scale.. I also think the "solutions" presented here are optimistic at best.

This seems like a molehill made into a mountain. Just make a collection in your Steam library, dump them all in there, and keep it hidden.

Those are high standards? They basically said "I want an open-source phone that actually works."

I use Fedora and this is how I use Flatpak as well. Some software does have some problems when used through Flatpak. I vaguely recall Blender's Flatpak version having some issues. I would also like to see more transparency with who is publishing the Flatpak on Flathub. Maybe I'm just dumb but it is not immediately obvious to me who the publisher is and whether or not this is an officially supported Flatpak application.

What privacy is gained by self hosting a static site rather than using anything else?

I really wish someone could convince me self hosting is worth it but more often than not it just seems like busywork. Do you really need to self host your static website? There is no real privacy gained and probably some security lost. Then you get into hosting more complicated apps, email, etc, and making sure you can access them from anywhere at any time and it just doesn't seem worth it to me.

Sounds like you had a poor education. I remember grade school pretty well actually. I remember getting my first taste of programming and I remember having a really great science teacher that passed their love of science onto me which a decade or so later would send me down my career path.

There is definitely a good amount of busywork but to claim working in a sweatshop is better than school is nonsense. The difference is one, in principle anyway, sets you up for upward mobility while the other doesn't.

Explain how this is "arguably better than school"

They aren't though. You say "help debug it" as if you are actually lifting a finger to help. In reality, you have a problem that a company provides you an app for free and wants your anonymous data to help improve it. Something that cost you nothing in terms of time or money. Also something you can opt out of if you find that agreement disagreeable for whatever reason.

> If I want to help the developers debug their app for free I will decide on my own when and how to do that.

You say this like you pay for the app. Audacity is free.

This is not true legally. If there is no way to link back to you personally then it is not PII.

Is there really such a big leap going from working for Facebook to working for the NSA except the spying you are doing is much more direct and not surrounded in business speak?

If you are stripping out all context then no A doesn't imply B but we aren't talking in a vacuum. We are talking about a specific company.

> average quality widgets

Everyone I personally know who has bought anything from teenage engineering has nothing but good things to say about the quality.

> I sell overpriced aluminum audio equipment

And yet everything they make sells out. Almost like it's worth the price.

ASU is typically on the forefront of initiatives like this. They were the first major university to offer college credit for edX and Coursera courses as well. Unfortunately, I still think the cost for college credits is ridiculous and this is more expensive than going to community college or using something like Sophia.org

Workers should be paid more but I don't see what his salary has to do with anything. Is it just there for ragebait?

Just to add some background, the Right to Repair bill passed in NY legislature and went to the governor. Kathy Hochul then amended the bill heavily before signing it into law. As far as who is opposed to right to repair in NY, take your pick, everyone from Apple to John Deere have to fighting against this for years.

Saying they got it wrong implies they tried to get it right. The NY Right to Repair bill was sabotage plain and simple.

This is the answer here. I believe iOS wins the US but world wide Android has a 72% market share.

>The company said it identified malicious activity on Jan. 5 and contained it within a day, adding that no sensitive data such as financial information was compromised.

> However, some basic customer information was obtained, such as name, billing address, email and phone number, T-Mobile said.

Is this not sensitive information? That all qualifies as PII.

The EU's Digital Markets Act.

I think Framework is the closest thing to that.

Whenever this topic comes up people bring up induction stoves. If you live in an apartment that uses electric then you 99% of the time have a shitty coil electric burner and those are absolute trash compared to gas. Induction isn't a possibility unless you are in the more premium apartments which cost a pretty penny or own your home. The more sensible solution is mandating all gas stoves have well vented hoods. I have lived in at least 3 apartments that had stoves with no hoods.

Thanks for sharing this. It's not about not getting sick. It's about getting less sick than you would have if you didn't get vaccinated.
