its not the source though is it? its not like it's downloaded via the hdmi cable, it comes from Microsoft that offer the service of installing crap

well you can plug the same monitor into a mac and not have this issue.

they provide passports for travel, driving licences for driving, national insurance number for taxes, but its not a single id that everyone is required to have

there is no point in it being open source if i cannot modify and run it

there is no single government id in the UK at the moment, they currently do not control my identity

you specifically talked about an OS without user changeable software, thats the definition of open source

Which part of that is avoiding the distopian control?

the very first line, government issued digital id - we have been avoiding that for a very long time

how does this work on an open source operating system?

yes only writes y, not the whole word yes

whats the appeal of that kind of content? its objectively worse than real content, and its not like there is a shortage of real content

i like to think of LLMs as random number generators with a filter

Quality of the rails makes a big difference, take the train from Ukraine to Poland and it's suddenly super smooth once you cross over into the EU

Choose is a strange word here. There is an algorithm that calculates the color.

Why are your police not investigating this? The guy is actively breaking the law

Only Americans call trains old fashioned

Do you even remember the IE6 days? - this opinion seems quite widespread but the open web is great for all of us.

I think you are probably right for other reasons

Safari has long lagged on other browsers, Apple would rather it didn't exist but have to keep it ticking over

With less competition they will likely be happy to lag behind even further again

Surely if you sue fake Nintendo, you don't need to discuss the licensing, you'd be sueing them for filling a claim they have no standing to claim

Risking freedom? You mean doing your part for freedom for all

Completely this. KISS, my favourite acro for this.

It's interesting that some modern ORMs are dropping trying to abstract out the dB engine. Specifically thinking of Drizzle for js. And rather just focusing on the programming interface
