Not sure how it is in the US, where I went to school I had to deal with textbooks that where up to 30 years old and showed it. The acquisition cost for school books was basically zero since they didn't buy replacements until the books

The statista statistics are almost immediately covered by a subscribe for access popup. Search seems to be doing as you say in general, but also is loosing share on desktop to bing, where edge would be the most relevant competing browser.

But you need billions of lines to train an AI and most existing code can't just be re-licensed over night. So that would still kill all code related AI projects for the next decade if not longer.

A central part of the GPL is forcing people to publish their modifications in source form. Without copyright law those requirements would be unenforceable and you would be stuck de-compiling encrypted/obfuscated binary blobs of your ve

That was the old x87 stack, that has been (almost) completely replaced by SSE and other vector instruction sets that operate on 32/64 sized elements. Unless you need 80 bit floats or have a mountain of ancient 32 bit intel CPUs without

Not honoring "do-not-track" isn't as visible. Sure a site could just do the bare minimum to look like it upholds the law while breaking it, but instead we got tons of user hostile dark pattern filed dialogs that outright scre

And you need NFTs for either of those why? I could export a character with items from Baldurs Gate decades ago.

> And pausing game play to show you ads...well, that would certainly never fly. TV has been doing popup ads for years and I am quite sure many Android games also do it. Then you have ads that could be directly embedded into the game play

Didn't current LLMs already gas light their users over the current year? These models don't just degrade, they are already outdated and wrong the moment they get deployed.

They are supposed to, but usually it takes several dozen times of them getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar and fined before they are even capable of acknowledging these laws even exist.

That is probably what I get for checking my assumptions against wikipedia. One of the tables on the CentOS page makes it looks as if only CentOS 7 is still supported. On a closer check the table may just be incomplete. https://en

Edit: I have been corrected on the support time frame. Also had the bad luck of checking the CentOS wikipedia page to validate my memories - one of the Tables makes it look as if both CentOS stream 8 and 9 are already out of support. As far

Being within the capabilities of something and guaranteeing that it will never exceed that are two different things. At least in the past real time guarantees for Linux came as part of an optional patch set for the kernel since guaranteeing
