Our drones will fight their drones, and then whichever side loses, will have their humans fighting the other side's drones, and if the humans somehow win, they will fight the other side's humans. War doesn't have an agreed en

It's not about that. Yes we can expect things made by unskilled artisans to be of low quality, but low quality things existing is fine, and you made low quality things too when you started out programming. What's new is people tre

Linus now has come to support Tivoization. I presume this has something to do with where his salary comes from.

So when you go to the bank teller and hand them $100 in cash, the bank doesn't receive $100 in cash?

The law says it must ask for age when creating an account other than the first one. So that's mandated. But there's no verification of the age you enter, and in fact, it's forbidden to verify it. It's really just to give

The problem is that putting restrictions on adults comes with a thousand times more outrage than putting restrictions on kids, and look how much outrage there already is about putting restrictions on kids at the discretion of their parents.

Well then it's good then computer will have the option to disable the harmful stuff, so a parent can let a kid use the good stuff without the harmful stuff.

I don't think the probability is low. What percentage of children are brainrotted by TikTok?

Why do you have to mod your distro when you could simply go to the settings program and set "age bracket" to "18+"?

Can you elaborate what you know that the writers of the California law don't know?
