> Ubuntu devs have been nothing but good FOSS citizens They have forced systemd despite feedback and genuine concerns. They have forced fake sudo and uutils the same way. So, ideology over merit. That doesn't mean that all of the Ub

For now you can list dependent packages manually in apt-get install: https://packages.ubuntu.com/resolute/build-essential But it's clear that Ubuntu will remove coreutils, genuine sudo and other tools from the fut

Yeah, the Bucha search was a perfect nail in the coffin of previously very respected company: https://meduza.io/image/attachments/images/007/699/276/large...

> suddenly there are millions of euros of fines headed your way I'm not sure about that. As I see it, there is no business case for treating PII carefully: security costs money while leaking PII costs nothing and has no repercussion

Warsaw here. I will do everything in my power to keep my kids connected to whatever social networks they want. The state will not be able to censor the internet for my kids.

Excellent news for the team, and a sad news for the rest of us. But I guess that the cycle of life: products gets purchased and slowly die.

Did ELIZA have it? LLMs are the same: in essence both are text transformation algorithms. One being rule-based, the other stat analysis based. Having said that, your concern is technically correct: we don't. Because we don't know

True. It is also unreasonable to expect a lone full-time employee being the only one available at 3am every single day.

So much this. DoThisWithThatAndThatAndThis is a objective c convention and I love it so much that I use it everywhere. Although a bit of taste is required to keep code legible and pleasant.
