>People generally don't want to associate with predators, abusers, and fascists. Talk about putting the cart before the horse... This is why it is important that people aren't labelled as those things without actual evidence.

Hard to understand how someone can read the word 'sued' and think it has anything to do with criminal law.

Nobody has ever explained how this "mitigation" is supposed to happen. Instead there are just flippant "Yes? Why not?" comments like yours and your siblings, as if "why not" hasn't been demonstrated and e

Why would anyone want to "exercise curiosity" about abject nonsense? There's nothing to be curious about here. You might as well make the same comment on any topic where something has been dismissed. The concept of "e

Can people please stop making this comment in reply to EVERY criticism of LLMs? "Humans are flawed too". We do not normally hallucinate. We are sometimes wrong, and sometimes are wrong about the confidence they should attach to t

They established the definition and nobody had a problem with it for decades. It has nothing to do with money.

>Fwiw, I don't know a single person, in the flesh, that thinks Open Source is different from Source Available. Then educate them. Open source has had a stable definition since before I was born. It is not up for debate. All of a

Open source isn't a literal term. It doesn't mean "the source is open". That isn't how the English language works. It is a compound term with its own meaning just like any other.

"Source available" is not open source and has nothing to do with open source. Open source never confused people until bad-faith actors started intentionally trying to confuse them by labeling things that aren't open source

It is not "virtually closed source" to license something as GPLv3 and also under a proprietary license. In fact, it is something explicitly advocated for by Richard Stallman himself and the Free Software Foundation generally: ht

Nvidia has been rubbish on Linux for 20 years. You have nobody but yourself to blame.

I don't think there's any inherent reason that Mobile Debian couldn't be as popular as a proportion of phones as Debian is as a proportion of desktops. Debian itself is niche. Linux use represents what, like 1% of all deskt

I don't really care whether you have issues with something Wayland-related. You can't "enable Wayland" anyway because Wayland isn't software, it's just a protocol. If you have a problem with Wayland it's

When I use a real operating system instead of an entertainment kiosk I use dmenu to open programs. But most people find using the mouse more intuitive than the keyboard. I think it's actually quite good that you get back to the deskto

There's no "debacle with Wayland". There was some controversy a few years ago, and some people will stick with X forever for the same reason that there are still people that will resolutely stick with sysvinit. But Wayland

Is that true? mv isn't an application. To me, the GNU toolchain is more like an application, but the individual parts like GNU ld, GAS, ar, GCC, etc. are just programs, not applications themselves. And even then, application feels l

Signing up for an account with your personal details is not "doxxing yourself". Doxxing is when someone else publicly reveals your personal information on the internet.

I mostly agree with this. I don't think it's "files and folders" that are bad, but a file browser isn't the best way of browsing photos. A file browser is great for documents and you need to have it because you ne

It's not a "filing-cabinet abstraction". "Files" and "folders" might as well be opaque and arbitrary words to most people. In a computing context, they have no or almost-no association with files and fol

Desktops definitely aren't "dead outside the enthusiast space". About 2/3 of Steam users use desktops, for example. That's not enthusiasts, that's a large % of young people. Just thinking about people I know

I don't think Excel is worse on a phone than on desktop because people don't think it's capable of "real work". It's worse because the whole interface of Excel is designed around a mouse and keyboard. The tin

Android is another choice. It may not have been around when you bought your first iPhone, but that was 16 years ago.

A government doing something doesn't imply that it is a legitimate thing to do. It's Hume's guillotine: you can't derive an "ought" from an "is". You can't derive "banning can be legitima
