Damn, that’s really cool! I can only imagine his narration of the trip and the features of Disneyland, in absolute Gary Sinise voice.

Eh. DDG and other search engines exist, and all Google has gained is that the entire rest of the search world (as well as button makers, context link creators, RSS, bookmarkers etc) have to drop them because the URLs don’t actually resolve to results and are indistinguishable from phishing functionally speaking; meaning Google won’t even get people’s search results by proxy now.

Now, if all other big search providers do this and engines like DDG have to drop them, we’ll reach a new golden age, where new and more ethical search providers can enter the playfield and start without a big disadvantage.

Do I need to point out that this has never worked against linux/open source?

Kindly point me to three generalist, widely known XMPP servers.

Except that they did.

Then why did they upload their drafts to Codex?

FTP and Owncloud have existed for a good while.

What a weird read of the situation. The existence of AI does not threaten the artistic process.

Remind me again how does Facebook feed its machine?

Claymore roomba? Now this is the kind of content I come to the Fediverse for!

I’m always impressed by the level of differences. Printer drivers were a real hassle with 8 and 8.1, and you never knew in advance which driver was for which.

Eh, that’s fine. I get that people are worried about EOL systems but, honestly, most of the time the concern seems overblown to me: it’s not like you are going to run these Windowses on baremetal and plugged directly into the root DNS gigabit ethernet line. When it comes to Windows, you run them in a VM and under a battery of safety measures such as firewalls and snapshots to begin with. And, once you’re bored with it, you return to Linux and the AUR.

8.1. That’s different. It was also IIRC the last Windows version without any sort of AI, enforced telemetry or any of that crap.

the only sane windows left

Windows 8.1 exists.

Ah, a systemd user I see!

sysvinit and OpenRC are just so much better.

Yeah I was going for the “if only there was something like LibreOffice” joke.

OpenOffice?
