You think shadowy governments are coercing Microsoft into adding an opt-in AI feature?
It isn't when considering Google's brand has (long) lost trust in how it hanles data. This is especially true with larger companies, F500 type brands, who tend to avoid Google for infra as do governments.
Agreed, the Cinnamon desktop is the most unsurprising interface.

The dual ssd boot option for OS is also nice, as some games/applications in Win11 are inescapable.

However, for 99.8% of most day to day OS needs the Ubuntu repo desktop works fine (if you purchased a printer/webcam knowing it is fully supported etc.) =3
Progressive enhancement is about accommodating JS being disabled. You have missed, in your description of what users care about, anything about disabling JS.

The posts are not calling for Israel's annihilation. They call for stopping the genocide. The posts merely document what Israel is doing in Gaza, since Israel doesn't allow independent journalists to verify and show the world the carnage it's causing to the people of Gaza.

Not that I am wealthy enough to participate, but you see the same thing in cars and the same issue too. Sometimes status signalling and taste end up in the same product, and people who don't care about cars end up with the finest of the cars, almost coincidentally.
That's fair - I don't know what their sales page looked like prior to the FCC investigation. However in its current state, I see no issues with the way the information's presented. If a majority of the 100 people can't figure it out, I'm not sure what else they can do other than remove the option which is better for the consumer. I wouldn't be surprised it that's where it'll end up

Real perspective shift from your comment, thanks! Reading more about usage of those terms now, but I still can't help but feel there's a deliberate "fancypants nonstandard language" signalling going on in the marketing of these "timepieces".

There's an easy parallel to make with the audiophile industry, which uses all kinds of colourful but ultimately vacuous language.
There's no guarantee they'll invest in his next startup, even if he stays until the bitter end.

It's also possible that over the next two years, either he or his coworker could damage their relationships with investors. Typically, messy blow-ups reflect far worse on founders than politely stepping away. It often goes better to simply say something like, "Hey, I'm sorry, but I don't think we're aligned anymore. This startup probably works best with just one captain at the helm, so for that reason, I'm out."

Most importantly, even if sticking around for another year or two meant the difference between guaranteed funding and none at all, I'd still choose the extra year or two over the funding. Founders usually earn half—or even a third—of what they would make elsewhere. That extra time essentially translates to a couple of years of self-funded startup runway, and I'd much rather have that flexibility than guaranteed funding with strings attached.
Svelte only requires a CSP hole in its default config as a standalone library; SvelteKit does proper CSP by default, and if you're not using SvelteKit you can build CSP handling into whatever you are using instead. I assume the others are the same way.

How can israel be the only party seeking peace when 90% of the population approved the wars expansion into lebanon, and 90% approved of the renewed offensive, and the use of stronger force in 2025 (israeli democratic/statistical surveys), when Israel broke the ceasefire this year and has taken more territory in the west bank, syria, and now gaza based on recent reports of the new goal of seizing the entirety of rafah.

Signing a contract where, even if you stop using the company's service or having anything to do with the company, you still have to keep paying them nevertheless... sounds like one of those types of deals† that we invented the concept of "inalienable rights" to prevent companies from offering.

† I.e. the type of deal where the individual is being asked to trade away something they cannot reasonably evaluate the net present value of (their own future optionality in a future they can't predict) — which will inevitably be presented by the company offering the deal, in a way that minimizes/obscures this loss of optionality. In other words, it's a deal that, in being able to make it, has the same inherent flaws as indentured servitude does — just with money instead of labor.

Gleam / Lustre are fantastic, and I hope to use them in anger at some point, but it's my understanding that they don't aim to be as "total" as Elm (quotation marks because I don't think Elm was total in the formal sense). That is, while Lustre is very much following in Elm's footsteps, both it and the language have not been designed around avoiding runtime failure at all costs. (Which makes sense, given the Erlang/BEAM heritage.)
The left has spent the last decade proudly bullying everyone for wrongthink, including going after employment and family members. It should come as no surprise then that corporations wouldn’t participate above the bare minimum on a predominantly leftist forum.

Now that I have an actually useful 3d printer, I really have gotten into FreeCad. Hopefully in a few more months I'll grok it well enough to gork/rewrite the gear generator tool kit.

I think China gets a lot of credit for being a "manufacturing superpower" but that kind of oversells what it is.

Look especially at dollar value of exports: https://www.statista.com/statistics/264623/leading-export-co...

The fact that China has 3x the population of the US but only 1.5x the export dollar value of the US says quite a bit. Germany's exporting output is even more impressive considering their population of under 100 million.

NATFA's manufacturing export dollar value is almost equivalent to China.

Complex and heavy industry manufacturing is something where they are not caught up at all. E.g., lithography machines, commercial jet aircraft and engines.

The US/Canada/Mexico are no slouches when it comes to the automotive parts ecosystem. Germany exports more auto parts than China, and the US is barely below China in that regard. I would also point out that certain US/NAFTA and European automobile exports are still considered to be top quality over Chinese models. For example, China is not capable of producing a Ferrari or a vehicle with the complexity and quality of a Mercedes S-Class. That's not to discount the amazing strides that China has made in that area but it is to say that the West+Japan is no slouch in that area.

But to me this is all besides the point anyway. AI is so tied up in open source anyway, this idea that China will leapfrog in AI R&D is somewhat irrelevant in my mind. I don't think any one country will have better capabilities than anyone else. There is no moat.

And ultimately I still predict that Chinese AI will be mostly a domestic product because of heavy government involvement in private data centers and the great firewall.
Yup, COBOL is that overnight sensation 4 years in the making. GCC COBOL is foremost an ISO COBOL compiler, with some extensions for IBM and MicroFocus syntax. We also extended gdb to recognize COBOL, so the GCC programmer has native COBOL compilation and source-level debugging.

> This shouldn't be a problem because there is flow control.

It's leveraging flow control, but as I mentioned this might be less efficient (in terms of server memory usage and concurrent open connections, depending on client buffer size and other variables) than downloading larger chunks and closing the HTTP connection in between them.

Many wireless protocols also prefer large, infrequent bursts of transmissions over a constant trickle.
> …so it is hard to explain why their kids would be better off knowing something they don't need.

Math is full of extremely useful concepts that aren’t otherwise obvious. To me, it’s less about “I’m going to need to use this equation” and more about “This is a pattern I will encounter throughout the world.”
> Braindead regulation.

Only because OP didn't give the full story. Microsoft wanted to close direct access to the kernel. AV companies complained to regulators in the EU. The EU asked Microsoft if they were willing to maintain access to replacement functionality and to stick to using that functionality for its own separately sold AV products. Microsoft said no, and instead of fighting, just let Windows wither on the vine with full kernel access for all the bozos. Crowdstrike was inevitable.

But Earthly is still in business, which sort of proves my point. Something which would never make money on its own (Earthly) can make money with just some cloud-hosted value add.

They've certainly pivoted their product in various ways, as any business does - my point was not to suggest that cloud devtools get free money and don't have to worry about the natural challenges of B2B product development. My point was just that, completely nonviable businesses can at least become viable by selling the cloud.

Yeah, I was recently deciding which desktop option to use for a Debian Live variant that needs to be straightforward for anyone who boots it. I tried each option (in VMs), and decided to go with Cinnamon.

So, if someone wants a Linux to start with, installing Debian Stable, and selecting the Cinnamon desktop in the installer, is one great first option.

(The Debian default desktop is based on Gnome3, which does a few weird and annoying things. Fortunately, Gnome3 inspired alternatives, like Cinnamon.)
The reason is as you say: If someone gets too popular or a leadership looks too promising, Israel shoots them or compromises them. Fatah is seen as corrupt and liberal group too conflicted to create any meaningful movements for Palestinians. Hamas is seen as more sincere movement and has stronger support. They are primarily a social movement with a military wing. And so they are a stronger threat to Israel than Fatah could be. Fatah for its part is compromisable and pliable where as Hamas is a conservative strict disciplined movement with no hope for Israel to corrupt them.

The Problem with Vibe Coding
If the big architectural differences between Electron and Tauri came out in Electron's favor for your project (i.e., if differences between rendering engines were a real problem in practice), then I'd say it would almost certainly be a mistake to choose Tauri just to avoid having to do FFI. Of course, if rendering engine differences aren't a problem in practice, then the choice is much lower-stakes and what you're currently doing will probably be fine.
You're the one who has added "breaking." The original claim was just that integrators get hate for not keeping up with upstreams, which is true. Many changes aren't breaking; and users don't know which ones are or aren't anyway.

They should be setting the build days for a package from say the commit date of the top commit of the branch that's being built. It can't be something that doesn't change when the next version is spun. If you see a behavior like that in anybody's reproducible package system or distro, you have a valid complaint.
You are conflating the current conflict with the history of peace accords. Currently Israel wants to get rid of Hamas and rightfully so, after the October 7 attacks. I was referring to the multitude of peace attempts preceding this conflict where Israel conceded above 90% of what the Palestinian leadership wanted more than once, yet the Palestinian leadership refused. "Colonialist expansionist"? How many people speak Hebrew in the middle east? What expansion? If you want to look at an actual colonialist expansionist force you will look to Iran, who funds Hamas, Hizbollah, and the Houthis, they are currently colonizing Lebanon, Syria, and are using the Palestinians as pawns. Israel is a tiny country the size of New Jersey with less than 10 million people. Iran is 90 million people.

In case anyone wants to point me in the right direction or give me some pointers, I’m a lifelong windows developer who switched to Linux (Ubuntu 24.04 lts) on my personal desktop and a laptop (I’m fully in on the switch) and it’s not great.

I think we need to accurately represent the shortcomings so people who switch aren’t surprised.

So far those are:

1. Laptop - Battery life is bad compared to windows. It’s about half.

2. Laptop - sleep doesn’t work.

3. All - multi-monitor setup with different pixel scaling doesn’t work for many applications.. unless you dig into all the Wayland options and issues and figure out how to launch all these apps under Wayland.

4. All - In general Wayland vs X issues. I can’t screen share with zoom.

5. All - Bluetooth driver issues - my Bluetooth headset won’t connect as an audio input and output device at the same time.

Now to be fair, I think all these are okay trade offs but they are a conscious choice. If you have anything outside a standard one monitor, wired peripherals setup you will probably hit issues you need to debug.

I started paying for Ubuntu pro to put my money into it, so I’m hopeful for these kinds of things in the long term.
The answer to 'bad things exist' is not 'therefore nothing can ever be better'. You fix things 1 step at a time. Removing the hand of the state from the levers and dials of the value transfer system is a good thing.
I just cancelled my house insurance plan as we're moving out. Actually my partner did it, and she told me that there was a ~AU$50 cancellation fee.

My natural instinct was to be ropable. But then I realised that I had actually been paying an annual insurance policy, monthly. I wasn't paying a monthly insurance policy.

Presumably when we signed up, there was a monthly option. Presumably it cost more. And so I can hardly be annoyed that they're essentially making up that difference now that I've chosen to terminate that contract early.
With real roguelikes (aka games on a grid with turn-based combat), I believe they're not designed to be fair at all. There's so much rng involved, so you will get unexpected and unfair deaths and lots of them.

Roguelike community has a saying - "losing is fun". And while I only played a few traditional rl games and finished none of them, I had great experience while constantly "losing" only a few hours into the run.

In most roguelites I play, losing isn't fun - it's frustrating. There is often very little variety in earlier stages of the game, so if you're bad (and I am) you're stuck replaying the same section for hours, only to get good RNG, go 1 level farther and immediately die to some new mechanic or difficulty spike.

One exception is The Binding Of Isaac, this is probably the best roguelite game I've ever played and nothing comes even close.
