I use to have a few terms active in the very early days of Linux. When I heard about screen/tmux now I just have 1 term open and multiple tmux sessions. I think if you can get use to tmux/screen you may like that better :)

To me, investing in any AI company is very risky, 1 step above junk bonds :)

Sad to say, with AI, crypto mining and now Trump/GOP, it is already too late. Depending upon timing, if the AOC shuts down, Europe may not be a bad place to live. I am not sure how the AOC will impact NE US and Eastern Canada. But be

Positive reinforcement anyone :) Anyway to me, 4G seems a bit lite for AI. I always avoided Chrome as much as possible, now I have a real reason to do so. I wonder if Chromium-based browsers is or will do the same?

Lets pretend this happens, I am curious how it would work. So a person in Canada messages someone in France who's WhatsApp is not encrypted. But the message from Canada is encrypted. Will the person in Canada's message have to b

With the on-going elimination of the EPA at the US federal level, this could be the future for many States. And States with a strong State level "EPA" will be at the mercy of up-river states that pollute their own waterways.

Well this is in line with the fact the LF has been quiet about these new Age Verification laws. The LF should be very vocal about how these laws will hurt Linux. It is almost seems like the LF wants these laws :(

Tin foil hat :) But in a way I do agree with you, I doubt it is as organized as you imply. Yes, companies and governments do not way anyone on a General Computing Device at all. They want to see exactly what content you are viewing and re

The US did something similar in the 1980s Reagan years, look were the US is now. You really should expand it to new media. So, welcome to the oligarchy, were a few ultra rich controls media.

Still doing that :) A long time ago, I wrote a small MS-DOS program that I gave away for free. Last I heard someone as of 2 or 3 years ago someone was still using it. It was a .com program.

People may not remember, it is ~1980 all over again. There was a massive 'chip' shortage back then were the mini-computer company I was at and many others could not get chips they needed. In fact, chips were kept under lock and k

I agree, time to start handing out real punishments, I think 6 months is way to small. If this was you or me, we would be in prison for decades and have a fine in the millions. Time for these people to feel consequences. As someone said, t

From what I have heard, only porn and smaller sites did this. I am referring to facebook, twitter, blue sky, tiktoc and other such large sites. If those sites starts blocking States like Utah, you would see a big outcry and laws changing.

Interesting, I wonder if the "TAB" argument was IBM at the time wanting screen input to work just like they did on mainframes ? Well before DOS was a thing, the mini I programed on was using Tabs to move between the TUI fields. O

The current Supreme Court ?? I really doubt it will say these laws are illegal. They believe in "originalism", that means since the Internet did not exist in 1783, you have no rights to it and can be controlled in any manner the

Too bad companies did not have 'ba*s' to block their sites from being accessed in Utah. If all companies did that, it would stop all these crazy laws instantly. Where I live, one site I log into started asking for my birth date.

In this day and time Microsoft should really know better. But I have seen this, and worse, happen over and over again in some fortune 500 companies with ERP and in-house systems. I would think this is a local vulnerability assuming Windows

What a big waste of $, for an example how did the 'coding' schools go ? AI literacy will go the same way. How about funding something useful ? Like real literacy as in reading books ? That will help kids out far better than &qu

Very nice article! I still use RCS at home for some items and I always liked the locking feature, it avoided lots of issues and it in a way forced changes to be small when using in a team. Plus it forced developers to communicate with each

In other news, the Sun rises in the East. Nice it was highlighted but the big question, will something be done about this ? I think we all know the answer to this. The only surprise is "14 times", I would expect hundreds of times
