Just nitpicking, but if the usual price is 10€ and you want to offload the 30% tax to the consumers, pretty sure the maths should be 10/(0.7) ≈ 14.29€

the work (to trim all the Vista bloat) that had started with Windows 7

Could be phrased better but it makes sense to me

It’s a catch-22 - try to be more unique, in an effort not to lose your humanity, but in doing so keep feeding the machine which subsists on creativity. A human-AI ouroboros.

Does this apply to the google play version?

The smile/wrinkles look kinda weird? Could be a generated image of Altman, plus photoshop

Didn’t Grok also claim he’s fitter than LeBron and smarter than da Vinci? Perhaps being an olympic piss drinker has been the key to his success.

Probably not even mint-specific since it happens on pop os too

Or maybe they’re overworked and burnt out

Corpospeak?

Right, and that goes for the things it gets “correct” as well, right? I think “bullshitting” can give the wrong idea that LLMs are somehow aware of when they don’t know something and can choose to turn on some sort of “bullshitting mode”, when it’s really all just statistical guesswork (plus some preprogrammed algorithms, probably).

… a flow that can reasonably check itself for errors/hallucinations? There’s no fundamental reason why it couldn’t.

Turing Completeness maybe?

Useless for us, but not for them. They want us to use them like personalised confidante-bots so they can harvest our most intimate data

Social democracy isn’t really socialist…

Anyways it’s just good to know that FOSS is built upon anarchist principles (of course, this doesn’t mean every FOSS project is anarchist) and is a great example of free association in practice. It helps demystify anarchism and communism.

Also what “delusions” are you talking about? Marxist-leninist ones?

I hope this is a lightbulb moment for you

All heirarchies are unjustified.

I’d look at foss licenses more as tools of defence against (and within) the current system/context than “rules” that serve to enforce some kind of anti-capitalist “heirarchy”.
