I’m the worst of the worst. I only buy second hand paper books. Then I give them to someone when I’ve read them! This is incidentally after a kindle phase terminated by Amazon after I returned too much of their third rate junk that didn’t w

Having had that exact discussion with someone in Alexanderplatz right in front of the police building, nope.

Depends which side of the wall you were born on…

I suspect the hard bit is the print head. So they’re just buying that in.

Yes. Wilfully.

I genuinely don’t think such folk have as much influence and power as everyone thinks. In my (direct) experience it’s just a complete mess and they’re reacting naively to every problem. They’re fighting a battle against the real problem whi

I’m not suggesting that at all. I am simply suggesting that bureaucracies have their own specific failure models. I am very pro regulation.

Same as when I donate money to Apple.

I don’t think it’s a conspiracy or corruption. It’s just design by committee bureaucracy. It always fails into that state.

Going on holiday is why I work. And I use organic maps when I’m on holiday. And donate. Good luck to them.

I'd rather lick the pages of a fifth hand copy of Fifty Shades of Gray.

I don’t care what it does really. It’s another tool. It’s the economics that make no sense. That situation has been demonstrably getting progressively worse.

Yes. However this one is a bit weird. Every software purchase process I have been involved in I have asked the vendor to demonstrate their claims against our requirements. With AI, I am expected to defend myself from claims that my requirem

I rather like the right of no intelligence at this point.

Looks like we’re doing this in the UK soon too. Edit: not sure what the downvotes are. Burnham literally said he’ll do it today.

VEB OpenAI next? Shall I dig out my Auferstanden aus Ruinen vinyl?

Perhaps we don't want to participate in the US's AI economy?

Depends exactly what you mean by embedded but Rust isn’t as common as people make it out to be there. In some aread it’s almost entirely unheard of. C will be king for a while yet. There’s a lot of Ada floating around too.

I find DVDs mostly pointless now. I've started seeing some from around 2000 which are now unplayable.

Yes. With blackjack and hookers.

Yeah just done that. Hosed my Instagram account.

And we can choose not to fund those things.

Thanks. Also fuck.

Well guess I won’t be renewing my subscription this month then. Any other verified sources?

You shouldn’t build a business that relies on any of these models. It’s a geopolitical and sovereignty risk now. Someone could just rug pull your entire stack.

No one trusts the US government. I’ve been warning of this sovereign risk for years. This will tank the market. See you all on the other side!

That’s roughly it. I don’t really have a use for it myself that I can’t solve some other way cheaper or easier without the damage and uncertainty it does. I’m not really that impressed.

I'm doing exactly the same but you really don't have as much control as you may wish. I mean look at Freedesktop which is basically Redhat staff. The biggest Kernel contributor in SLOC a while back was MSFT. Gnome and Systemd is a

Smells like a cartel. Wonder who else is in on it?
