yup. The downsides of Linux are, at most, equivalent to the downsides of using windows (as far as annoyance factor) and after using Linux for even a few weeks, well, going back to windows is.... horrible.



Anyone that isn't forced to use Microsoft products should not be using Windows; It's just a better experience to not.

WANTED: Intel Architecture Labs 1990’s CD-ROM’s. They appear to have maybe been monthly. They contained a mirror of Intel’s ‘download.intel.com’ ftp server, specifically the /ial/ subdirectory which is not in the 2014 backup of the site on archive.org.

Lots and lots of white papers and design guideline documents in there. Especially looking for ones from the late 1990’s (1998-ish onward) if they exist. I’ve seen references in mailing lists to them that lead me to believe they do.

Reddit bans researchers who used AI bots to manipulate commenters https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/657978/reddit-ai-experiment-banned

As we all know, forums are clearly superior to Discord servers & we should go back to the days when it was easy to find information that definitely won't succumb to data rot. That's why I've put together this helpful guide in the form of an image to help you get started.

L'intelligenza artificiale ha ingannato gli utenti di Reddit

Un esperimento “non autorizzato”, condotto dall'Università di Zurigo, ha riempito un subreddit di commenti generati dall'AI

Aspre polemiche sul fatto che i ricercatori dell'Università di Zurigo lo abbiano condotto di nascosto, senza informare i moderatori del subreddit: "L'abbiamo fatto a fin di bene!". Ma Reddit valuta azioni legali.

how thoughtful of them to make this checked off by default.

Planning to read the document in its entirety, but based on the overview, the ruling against Apple appears to be a MASSIVE victory against their anticompetitive practices and their stranglehold over apps. It is very long overdue for them to face consequences, including potential criminal contempt.

EDIT: Analysis of the ruling in the thread. It's great news. Do not piss off your judge. 🧵

Congratulations to Apple for playing themselves. There was no world where the judge was going to be cool with them showing super obvious contempt for the court’s orders. The fines are piling up. Maybe you should do something to stop them coming, rather than wasting your cash reserves for no benefit. https://www.theverge.com/news/659246/apple-epic-app-store-judge-ruling-control

I thought I’d try my hand at clarifying the App Store external payments popup:

KDE and Gnome are probably the two most popular desktop environments available for Linux. Both have a dedicated Matrix client that is available to install as a Flatpak package.

NeoChat is a simple Matrix client actively being developed as part of the KDE ecosystem.

Fractal is a Matrix messaging client for the GNOME desktop written in Rust.

Not everything that can be predicted should be.

AI’s power to anticipate behavior risks normalising surveillance and control.

Prediction isn’t always progress.

Where do you draw the ethical line?

AI vulnerability/bug founds and reports is a huge problem. Curl has banned the use of AI-generated submissions via HackerOne because none of it made any sense, and is a waste of resources and time.
