To be a completely fair comparison, you should give your baby access to nuclear weapons.

Ah, the classic “all eggs in one basket” strategy.

A lot of open-source software uses copyleft licenses like GPL. If a company uses that code to build its own products, then some or all of their new code may also become open source. This is an important part of how open-source projects stay open. Organizations like FSF have taken big companies to court over this and won.

AI companies trained their slop-generators on that open-source code. In many cases, it will reproduce it line-for-line. But courts currently hold that the generated code is no longer subject to the original copyright restrictions. It’s nearly impossible to publish open-source software without being scraped for AI training.

There’s still a few days left to file comments objecting to the change. Link in the article.

Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got… an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

Thanks, I hate it. One more set of batteries, one more flaky wireless link to troubleshoot. Please take all those fancy electronics, and put them inside the phone where they belong.

Where do you plug in your headphones?

This is basically “Weekend at Bernie’s”, using the likeness of a dead man as a puppet.

I switched to Ubuntu a few months ago, and all my Steam games work just fine. Never looking back.

That’s correct. IM-1 in Feb 2024 and IM-2 in Mar 2025 both ended with tipped-over landers.

Headline is misleading. The Nokia hardware worked fine; it’s the host vehicle from Intuitive Machines that tipped over and ran out of power.

Who are the remaining 55% still buying swasticars?

Startup time. RAM consumption. Privacy.

That’s weird, the computer says everyone was born January 1, 1900.

Now explain PartialEq, and why it’s mandatory.

Doesn’t the ESP32 module this project is using require the same thing?

It works for now on x86-64, yes. For now. As always, we are one “think of the children” crisis away from lobbyists taking that option away.

It’s not for you, it’s for them. Secure boot means it only runs their operating system, not yours. Trusted enclave means it secures their DRM-ware from tampering by the user who owns the PC.
