Stallman was right all along.

Most text editors (not all, some are still lightning fast) choke on GB-sized files and I have yet to find a graphical file manager that can handle >1000 elements in a directory (terminal-based unix tools are fine). Maybe the authors of those softwares assume infinite RAM, infinite CPU cycles and puny workload or maybe they think the time of devs has more value than the time of their users.

The internet, on the other hand, was feudalism.

I don't think the author has the slight idea what does the word 'feudalism' mean. If anything the current Internet where users build themselves on big corporations' domains and get their data sucked for profit is much more akin of feudalism than the internet of old.

Non-english people and "foreign nation-states" being connected to the internet are not problematic. GNAA was deeply racist, homophobic and offensive.

There is this [0] thread from a few years ago. According to the linked article, "unless an IOMMU is used, the baseband has full access to main memory, and can compromise it arbitrarily." No idea how true this statement is.

IANAL. Can a CLA be considered a "contract without consideration" and not legally enforceable?

Pharo's CLA doesn't seem that bad [0]. You retain copyright, and agree to license your contribution using the MIT License. OTOH, you also agree that your contribution is "only a small component". IANAL and I wonder what is the implication of such a clause.

So, Utah and Virginia want their residents to surrender their private informations to shaddy websites and Louisiana is disposed to itself provides these informations.

I'm not aware of a mention in B5 but they do call it Helsinki Syndrome in Die Hard.

In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them.

I'm glad I don't participate in this community that claims dominion over the whole life of its members.

TBH There is something indecent in being wealthier than 95% of population and still worrying about oneself. I think I'll puke.

Makes me think about this song by The Offspring:

  I'm always feeling steered away
  By someone trying to tell me
  What to say and do, I don't want it
  I gotta go find my own way
  I gotta go make my own mistakes
  Sorry man for feeling
  Feeling the way I do

When I was dating, I honestly thought that such verbiage was a code for signaling they were hookers without getting removed. I automatically discarded those profiles.

I expect people becoming much more conservative about technology from now on. People will want to stay with the thing were LLM can help because there are ample documentation to train them on. By example, it will be a lot harder for a new, even if it's more powerful, programming language to find its niche because LLM wont be able to help. The end result will be a higher barrier to innovation because now to innovate is not enough, you also need LLM training materials, thus a much more conservative society.

Apple Vision will fail. It doesn't matter if it's a good product or not. Fact is, wearing it makes you look like a dork. This is why it will fail. Segway made you look like a dork too and it failed. Then the hoverboard got out and you looked cool while using it and it is successful. There is a future for Apple Vision's tech, but this is not the product that will sell. People will buy a product that makes them look cool. As simple as that.

Privacy

Your data is yours. We do not share your data with anyone outside of partners we need to provide this service.

So, no privacy. No thanks.

There is no such thing as viral licenses. Only you can decide the license of your work.

Linux is part of the problem. Linux never has been an OS for personal computer and it's security model is backward and even nefarious for this purpose. Linux, like all Unix and Unix-like is an OS for a big central computer connected to many dumb terminals. What happens here is Windows taking lessons from Linux and Unix. If you want to save the idea of a personal computer you want an OS that empowers users instead of protecting the computer from them.

QBASIC was good to start but you couldn't grow with it. And then the step going to another language is still high. You had lot of fun learning QBASIC, then you hit a wall. Imagine if QBASIC had a CONS datatype. The beginner programmers would have been able to gently learn about a lot of data structures, while QBASIC would have still been QBASIC, only much more powerful.

That's not what Chomsky said. It's the author interpretation of what he said. Chomsky said: "That day may come, but its dawn is not yet breaking."

That's how John Malkovich famously became a puppeteer

I don't know. My question was if you don't.

The government has insisted that the legislation is not intended to regulate independent content creators.

What does that means? If I upload videos on Youtube, then I'm probably in the clear. But if I make my own website with videos on it, am I still an "independent content creators" or am I now a streaming service in need of being regulated? How big I need to become before the law apply to me? Is this a new barrier to entry so the little guys are stuck with existing platform?

Georges Brassens is an iconic French singer. In 1953, he composed the music for "Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux". Then he reused the exact same melody for "La prière". Why not? Ideas get recycled and remixed all the time. Melodies and beats are ideas.

Technically this is a cool experiment because it's a bit like a cordless BBS from the '80s. However, I think it's doomed to failure. People aren't morons and they don't need an occidental savior to bring the knowledge to them on a newfangled toy computer. If really it was useful and needed, it would already exists because a local somewhere would have found a way to build it by himself and start a business around it. Then the idea would have propagated to other places and soon, there would be unconnected hotspots everywhere. No need for a website to promote the idea with a link asking for money.

Is this a consumption-only thing or does it allows some kind of interractions with the outside world, like emails sent to the box ultimately get delivered (when someone brings the box to a true internet connection to update it), edits to wikipedia get merged, ect. ?

That's crazy talk. Nothing actualy exist until the anglosphere takes note of its existence.

I like it. Remove the last column and you have a far better hexadecimal notation than using 0123456789ABCDEF
