I mean, yeah. He’s not a programmer lol he’s a businessman. Most CEOs don’t actually do anything.

I give old . reddit a year or two before they remove it.

That would be kind of hilarious lmao

I’m at 9 years myself, I use Ubuntu on desktop, Mint on my home ThinkPad, Ubuntu on my work ThinkPad, and a mix of Debian/Proxmox and Ubuntu for my servers. I’m hoping to switch my desktop to Mint at some point.

Sounds like my blogs lol

Looks like we’re going to need a new decentralized platform.

Or just a platform without people, because people suck.

It’s a slippery slope, I can’t imagine organizations won’t want more and more control over the public.

Not yet, it doesn’t. We’ll see how far we go down this hole.

I feel like the only way we can do anything about this is for us to have more money than the companies pushing for these changes, which is obviously not going to be possible… I’m not sure what else can be done.

The problem is the laws getting passed, not with software that gives people a choice about whether to comply.

Is it going to give a choice, though? As more and more of these laws are passed, soon people will have no choice. Open-source software was supposed to be about freedom, and I see this as anything but that.

How is this a theory? This is literally what’s happening lol

Even if it’s not advertising itself pushing it, the rest of what was said is true.

I trust him less than I trust Temu ads.

This is true, but they’re also not wrong that fully-modular USB-C ports is an absolutely huge win. It’s one of the biggest things when it comes to laptops these days.

It was always about the money.

One of the best written comments I’ve seen about this. LLMs are cool for what they can do, but anyone comparing them to AGI is just shilling and trying to make a fortune off of selling pickaxes in a gold rush.

Sure there was, they wanted to show their power.

The fact that half of the country is fine with this is sickening.

Truer words have never been spoken LMAO

I won? Of course I did, I don’t use Windows anymore, I’ve been using Linux for years now.

That’s a surprisingly large increase, wow. I switched back in 2017 and I’ve been using it ever since, but that’s good to see other people are making the switch too.
