Blackstone inc.

Private equity firm. Owns more than $1 trillion in residential properties. It also owns or manages around 250 property developers worldwide

Making it disappear basically solves the world wide unaffordable housing crisis.

That’s because you are sending your Fucks to the wrong key. You are missing the /feedback folder under system

Amazon mechanical Turk service.

In the future your robot waiter will be a Asian working for 6 cents an hour.

Until it’s wings “Snaps”.

Ubuntu does so much good, this is one thing I wish they would abandon.

Or at minimum, not have it as the default option.

Exactly. LLM makes you do the same stupid shit, but faster and with more intensity.

Its not AIs fault, its advertising based SEOs fault. Search has been broken for years for many topics.

In Rational countries, the courts consider the impact of their rulings. In South Africa, the constitutional court (supreme court equivalent) struck down a law, but kept it enforced on a temporary basis to allow for a modified law to be passed.

If the supreme court consisted of human beings, they could have done the same, sending it to the states to be decided by ballot, avoiding the chaotic impact and unnecessary deaths

But it’s never been about states right, it’s about controlling women…

This was in early 2000 New York and Washington DC. Spent about a month there and saw it daily.

Going out in public in your pajamas.

How difficult it is to find fresh produce in small shops (food deserts)

How much fat is in all the meat.

How old and badly maintained many of the roads and bridges are (I am from Africa, so that says something)

The levels of national arrogance.

Prosthetics that are no longer supported, should be fully open sourced.And the copyright should immediately expire.

Support your products, or let others do it.

I don’t have much of a problem with the small open source projects that are generally very good at filling gaps or addressing niches.

I think most of the waste is coming for the development done by the large open source houses. The canonical and red hats of the world. They should stick to what they are doing well, which is the foundational stuff.

Its all vibes and manipulation

I would have thrown it into a tree. Still not great, but better than what this guy did.

I think it should be: “Software that is yours”

Overall, I think more focus should be put on consolidating similar projects.

Do we really need 6 different window managers that follow the same design logic?

Do we really need each major distro to have its own package manager?

How many image and PDF viewers do we need? How many music players?

Can we convince Ubuntu that no one wants snaps and they are wasting developer resources.

The freed up capacity should be focused on better windows app compatibility. Something akin to Valve’s push in gaming.

Intel started running into trouble 15 years ago when they appointed CFO leadership as CEOs. They eroded 20 years of engineering leadership for the sake of “stakeholder value”. They also destroyed the company culture that made them successful and replaced it with MBA corporate BS.

You can’t rebuild that overnight. You basically need to start over.

Or they are gearing up to sell, so they pull this stunt to make their subscription numbers look better, before the cancellations start rolling in.

For me the main difference is Linux only does something when I ask it to.

Windows does whatever Microsoft wants it to do.

Both have major usability issues. But Linux gets a higher tolerance level, because of higher trust levels.

The problem is the bulk of it is going to Nvidia.

In many countries, falsely claiming support from an influential person can get your political party is deregistered for the next election.

It’s an AMD machine, lspci sees the devices. It just can seem to initialize it, sometimes. Every now and again it just starts working if the machine was unpowered for a few days.
