W>hy build a new PC when you can invest in a used one that is actually likely better? No overpriced components. No unnecessary features. No Copilot key. And probably you won’t have to fight for the RAM, what datacenter wants a DDR3 anyway? Ditto the hard drive. Install Linux , be happy.

We all know what the solution to oligarchies is, we are just too lazy in wait someone else takes the risk.

Is it even confirmed that it will be Moto who’s coming up with GOS? Like, say, a published release date and price range?

That’s a fair point. And I hear the transmissions they send and receive are making even scientific appliances from the 90s onwards look like bitches. My math might be far off but isn’t a transmissions from the Voyager currently reaching us at a power about six orders of magnitude lower than a pin falling on the ground? And the dishes still catch them.

(“In space no one can hear you scream” my ass)

One would think we should just ship it some upgraded parts on a door dash rocket, since we presumably have far better technology now.

No? No? Oh well I guess the USA is not that great then,

Instasaved!

Okay but link to the vids?

How is this all supposed to be, when AI code can not be copyrighted and thus those submissions to the Linux kernel can not be eg.: GPLv{number}?

In the US system at least it matters not if your claim is legitimate, the mere fact that you can file it poses a severe risk.

Patent system needs fixing from the foundations up. Or even better, full abolition.

In the meantime, what’s the better actually open codec to reencode to?

But all of those are VPs are patent encumbered, right?

We all knew this was going to happen one day or another.

Where’s Theora these days, byw? Wasn’t it the encoding blessed by the license druids?

What they need is a better goal, like, something actually useful to do. Going about just like “oooh me too is oppressed” currently does not help any much.

May I suggest some work on manufacturing? Some wood, some blades, some ropes. Can lead to interesting artifices that are driven mainly by gravity.

wth does “without intent” mean? Like, ooops my AI accidentally 1.41 TB of books and movies?

That they’ve been lucky so far doesn’t mean it makes sense to keep pushing it. There’s literally 123456DIY better options.

hosting anything piracy-related on Github

Wow, picking choice words only in sections of the laws and proposals. At least try and engage in honest discussion, mate,

Honestly, just go check Ageless Linux’s site. They have a complete rundown on how and where does each law’s expectation come from.

Just one (1) example:

SB 142 — App Store Accountability Act

Requires “commercially reasonable” method. In other words, the powerful agents of the market (the Googles, the Facebooks, the NSAs) get to choose what you have to do to validate. Could even require biometrics.

there’s no alien intelligence or protocol specification in systemd that ensures or says the dob field must be accurate either

That’s because systemd, a well-known Microslop infection into the Linux ecosystem, is using the wayland playbook: specify nothing, leave to other projects the task and legal weight of implementation. All systemd has to do is to ship the field, then other projects are delegated the task of entering in a “legally compliant” way.

…Have you eve been following the news and the law proposals? I’m not sure you are engaging in good faith here.

Are you sure? LGPL and other *PL licenses do already include terms where the rights and privileges granted by the license are limited by local applicable law, and this would be simply a case of denoting one of a number of local laws that apply.

Yeah they seem to be absolutely fun.

There’s no need to follow an unjust law, nor a law that makes you an unethical person.

“Software not for distribution or use in California” (aka: “offer void in Nebraska”) is a perfectly valid compliance, btw.
