This is censorship; it is like saying you can't eat a steak because a baby can't chew it. They will try to ban Linux or fine Linux developers unless it reports the user's age.

Yahoo did the same thing to its web browser and Yahoo Groups, not to mention Geocities. If something costs more to support than it brings in, a company will end support for it.

Software as a Service is the model Microsoft Office and Adobe products went to with subscriptions. I can use LibreOffice instead of MS Office, but GIMP isn't the same as Photoshop, etc. There needs to be a moonshot project to make GIMP

The consumption of energy and the pollution of water sources. Some people living next to Data Centers have an $ 850-a-month electric bill because the Data Center uses so much power that it increases the rate due to shortages. Also, all of t

Yeah, but if you do 100 things with low quality, it is going to be crappy. In the mid-1990s, I did quality control work on debugging code for Visual BASIC and ASP web pages. Now people are rushed to do sloppy work in quantity because it is

Somehow I doubt it. Trump talks a lot of stuff that he hasn't been able to do, like lowering prices on food and gas.

I still have my iMac G3 Bondi Blue in my basement. I had an Intel MacBook but sold it because it only ran up to MacOS 10.7. It worked fine about 10 years ago. Now I doubt it will.

Yeah, but I made more than 1 plane. You don't want planes that can't fly and crash because they were made sloppily and fast.

It was a school experiment. The government doesn't want sloppy planes; they want them to be of high quality and fly far. The government was the teacher who decided who won.

We did a paper airplane test in 5th grade. We split into teams and made them like McDonnell Douglas, etc. First, we saw how many airplanes we could make and then how far they flew. Everyone was rushing to get the planes made, but I took my

I worked at the US Army ATCOM base migrating databases and programs from an IBM Mainframe to Windows 3.X using Access and SQL Server and Visual BASIC. We kept the IBM Mainframe and HP/UX databases and programs to compare to the new one

You can ask an AI like GROK for an opinion on something, then disagree with it, and it says you are probably right and tells you what you want to hear. Like a Yes-Man.

How does RoboTaxi avoid accidents, and what happens when there is an accident? Who gets the blame?

They should make AI an option in Linux instead of what Microsoft did to Windows 11 and make it installed with the OS.
