Conversations with LLMs are absolutely worthless as a source of knowledge.

I completely agree about the cause of the accident, but there is actually a big correlation between vehicle height and accident mortality, the NYT published this report recently about it.

So it seems @9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works was actually correct and it’s both.

I resent your false dichotomy, we must develop our own alternative bike building cooperative industry from scratch, with all the necessary supply chain to avoid any dependence on the system.

I just pick them up through the web, no need to install anything.
To install and play, heroic.

No, it’s completely different.
In most eastern bloc countries, communism is often associated with external oppression.
In Spain, fascism was a local phenomenon and the current democracy comes from a voluntary transition from fascism, so there has never been a purge of fascism in Spain.
Even today there are lots of pro-fascists in major political parties, and there is a not small amount of nostalgia.
I would say, generally, the feeling in Spain about fascism is comparable to the feeling in Russia about the USSR.
Obviously there is also a strong anti fascist movement, but in lots of big cities it’s not strange to see fascist flags on some people’s balconies.

They’re not wrong.
Of course you can fork and have full control over your fork, but Graphene and company want to be able to keep merging AOSP’s code to keep up with features and improvements.
Merging code from a divergent codebase is harder the more divergence there is, and with big codebases it can easily overwhelm small and medium-sized teams.
It’s the same reason there aren’t lots of chromium forks with manifest v2 support, while it is technically feasible, it requires a bigger effort than most projects can afford.
Keeping an open AOSP fork is not a bad idea, but it’s not clear whether GrapheneOS or any other project will be able to keep up with that workload.
Of course Linux phones require a lot of work too, but it’s work oriented towards making it work instead of towards undoing whatever sabotage google ads to AOSP, so it might motivate more people or be easier to do.
Also, both approaches are compatible.
Linux phones can use waydroid, which depends on AOSP, to run Android apps.

Thanks, I fucking hate these stupid lies.

They wrote the Crystal trilogy.
I mostly liked it, the fist two books are good in my opinion, the third goes really weird halfway and I didn’t like it as much.

No, the code is available, which is not the same as open source.

could maybe force Ars to put out a retraction

I mean, the obvious solution is to use a strong copyleft license like AGPL and sell private licenses for closed-source projects.

This is true, but that’s not what “accidentally” means.
“Impulsively” would have been a more fitting word.

Don’t forget accidentally picking bullets and loading the gun with them!

if I have headphones or speakers or a mouse that aren’t plug and play on Linux which is what I’m used to on windows, I think it’s fair to say that my experience with Linux is less easy than with windows.

If that were the case, i would agree, but I dispute this claim.
Can you tell me specific models of headphones, speakers or mice that are not plug and play in any modern widely used distro?

Gay and lesbian are not describing gender, but sexual attraction.
Sexual attraction has been traditionally part of the gender identity, as have been other factors like dressing style, hobbies, home and work responsabilities, and a lot more.
Most sexual attraction descriptions are very subjective, because they sometimes describe gender and sometimes sex.

That’s obviously not what enabled means, at all.

If there is a button visible that executes a function when receiving a click, that feature is enabled.
That does not mean that the feature is actively in use, of course. Enabled and active are different states for a program’s functionality to be.

I believe it’s pretty easy to understand, there are people like me who don’t want to have AI functions popping up in our browsers without explicit enabling on our part.
I understand that you disagree, but it is not a difficult position to understand.

You don’t need to re-define opt-in and opt-out just because you support Mozilla in adding AI features to Firefox.

In my opinion there is no ambiguity at all.
Opt-in means that the feature is disabled by default and until the user enables it. This is NOT what Firefox will be doing.
Opt-out means that the feature is enabled by default and can be disabled by the user. This is what Firefox will be doing.
Whether the user actually uses or not the feature is not a factor in determining if it is opt-in or opt-out.

An it included linux native binaries! on the disk! It was absolutely fantastic, i played a lot in invasion servers for years and years.

Not only in USA, in Spain too.

Yeah, I see, thanks a lot for taking the time to read through the report and write this.
It’s fucking sad but honestly thanks for pointing it out, I hadn’t even read the report.
