Advertising companies shouldn’t be in the browser business. It’s a really bad conflict of interest. Chromium is a mistake.

Firefox is pretty great. But IMO they have some poor ux defaults that make it unappealing to random people who simply want a browser.

The same companies who have allowed this to happen all stand to benefit from regulatory capture. Yup.

most people aren't hn readers. broadcast tv is far from useless in 2026, that's how many normies watch tv.

advertising with extra steps stinks

I choose to accept reality. Until someone can do it, it hasn’t been done. Once that happens, this will cease being vaporware. The bubble is filled with vapors and those who drank the koolaide can’t seem to get themselves to accept.

numbers are fun.

Are clients and server FOSS? If so, advertise that. Personally, I’m not interested in another platform that isn’t.

How's it "quite short sighted"? Are you saying the math _does_ make sense? if so, how?

I think it’s worth pointing out that the “strategic partners” of this organization, those who fund this standard, have a commercial interest in selling curriculum materials based on the standard.

More like: _people_ still use linkedin?

Consciousness?

I have, maybe you should too. Other than stating it’s not a 501c3, I haven’t heard a compelling argument. I think it’s OK that Linus gets paid to do what he does. Everyone here definitely benefits from this non profit organization. It’s ok we see it differently.

Why not?

It’s the intersection of copyright and trademark law, where lots of folks get tripped up. The fork had a website that used the trademark owner’s trademark without permission. It has nothing to do with copyright or code.

If you don’t actively protect your trademark, you risk losing your trademark. Im surprised that isn’t part of his reasoning.

Isn’t whining the point of theregister though?

Yeah, the ones that aren't being made sell terribly!

Only Y Combinator and its affiliated companies have license, me thinks.

Because now with an LLM it’s almost trivial to do this? Before it was not.

Both of you can be right.

Yeah, I agree, that's a good point.

I did this. She recorded clean (imo, i cleaned it up) audio for “Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual” which is available on archive.org.

Too bad rust isn’t playable on linux due to anticheat.

“More seats: 27% more seats per departure” I think trains are cool. I hope this train doesn’t feel like a budget airline that has no leg room.

I also don’t know, but this might be useful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Only_Look_Once

Also, riding where cars/trucks/whatever mirrors are able to see you is another dimension.

As far as I can see, they still flirt with vendor lock in. None of their cameras supported ONVIF when I researched this previously. Nice hardware, lame software choices, IMO.

Machine-readable expedited/convenient recovery as opposed to manual transcription.

Data entry sucks.

Lots of nuance that you’re not addressing, IMO. Here’s some more nuance:

Steroids. It’s not a perfect metaphor, But I think it’s useful. Two people are trying to gain muscle mass. They both have an ideal starting point. First person has a healthy diet, lots of exercise, and sleep. The second person has all of the same things the first person however they also taking growth hormones.

Lots of folks look at the two results and will see lots of different things. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose. If you think the end results of the work should yield sculpted bodies with larger than normal muscles… you might opt to use hormones. However, if you think sculpted bodies with larger than normal muscles looks unrealistic or just not your style/goal… you would probably opt for a more natural approach.

Both have their merits and could be described as “fit” despite their differences. folks may value one over the other. people might fantasize about looking like thor, but if everyone actually looked like thor, things would be weird. My two cents: Thor is fiction, and while we need fiction. Im not going to pretend that anyone should look like thor in order to be in shape or to be described as fit. If we allow ourselves to be fooled into thinking that it can be normal to look like thor, then we are doing something wrong. Fiction should not become reality.
