   His example actually had 2 parts. One RH bricking the OS, the other one with a commercial vendor creating software with separate auto update. You've only addressed the RH OS angle.

   Well, it's bad in most places in the world. Fewer contacts, lower compensation being offered, more candidates for a job, generally worse conditions at current jobs because competition is down and companies know that.

   Interesting that the interest rate increase managed to suck out so much money already.

   That's a failure of society, not her fault. Subtraction is a skill chimps can master. The fact that she reached this stage means society failed her.

   Exactly. It's also an employee refresh. Plus they're pushing down any optional payment like bonuses, RSUs.

    It depends on people, that's why I said "most". And I stand by that. Software, and the world in general, has far more dreamers than dredgers.

    FOSS developers gift their tools, libraries, frameworks, applications, and corporations use them and then don't OSS their cloud control planes (AWS, Azure, GCP), UI frameworks (Apple), app stores (Apple, Google), etc, etc. Some give, o

    > We Love Writing Software So Much, We're Willing to Do It for Free The title is right. People love writing software a lot. In my experience in this field, most don't love or even hate: 1. Fixing bugs, especially obscure ones.

    There are many reasons this situation could happen outside of your context and swapping on SSDs is comparatively harmless compared to the old days of HDDs. Random example: swapping due to VM. You just stop VMs.

    My point was about attack angles. The original comment said, that for example, you could exfiltrate data with the right prompt attack. To which the reply was "they'll just make the LLM able to better defend itself". And my po

    Technically true, but in practice the role means you don't have to care about them. They're an implementation detail that's managed by AWS. Could be flying mice for all the app dev cares.

    I'm just jaded at this point. FOSS won the battle and lost the war. It's been subsumed into the bowels of these corporations that are ending up mega predatory.

    True, but the fact that they don't build and package it means I'd be a beta tester, at best. Most likely alpha tester.

    The first part is a feature, the second one is a bug. And no, I don't think I will, I'll just use Youtube with ad blockers for as long as I can.

    Logs not being directly visible in the VLC UI and not having a default log file location plus the fact that even going to advanced settings and configuring things doesn't make logs show up after the first try is not Google's fault

    Powershell predates Node by 3 years. They probably didn't base it on anything else since they control .NET. I doubt it's slow because of .NET, it's slow because of either its design or because of under-investment in performan
