He’s probably just trying to get noticed by Trump. “Hey, look at me! I’m on the side of you and the other pedoNazis! You’re the best!”

It’ll be cloud-based rental computing with compulsory AI spyware and tiered pricing that determines what they allow you to do. The base tier will have just a whopping 2GB of RAM and 30GB for all your file storage needs for just $25 per month. If, one month, you can’t afford it, no computing for you, and goodbye software and data. The small print will specify that anything you create on Microsoft 365 Cloud Copilot Windows Home Edition for Teams of Peasants and Serfs is Microsoft’s property for all eternity to use, share or sell as they see fit, and you waive any right to ever challenge them legally and will accept a $5 Copilot 365 for Teams gift card in compensation should Microsoft’s AI incorrectly recommend you for death by ICE. Private messaging will be impossible and Linux or (heaven forbid) non-vibe programming will be punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a fine of millions of dollars.

Innovation is so exciting. It will have cute little animated AI chums tailored to our individual personalities and consumption profiles, reporting our every move to the authorities for our own safety! I can’t wait!

They’re recommending not that you link to their URL but that you create a back end that caches content from it and serves that content under your own URLs.

India proposes requiring smartphone makers to share source code with the government

Before anyone gets their hopes up that India is pushing for open source software.

It’s infuriating. They silently move all your files to their cloud and you don’t notice. Then one day they tell you that you have filled your cloud quota and they want more money. Switching to local only is, by design, a huge pain that tends to go wrong.

I’m sure it can, like any component. But we’re all running computers full of chips from American companies, and the USA isn’t any more trustworthy. It’s not a huge change.

Samsung said in response that “a trade show floor is naturally very different from a consumer’s home environment. Our Bespoke AI experiences are designed to simplify decisions around the home, making life more convenient and enjoyable.”

The South Korean tech giant also said “security and privacy are foundational” to the AI experiences in the fridge.

They deserve to sell none of their shitty fridges.

The headline is still misleading.

And they didn’t do it. The headline is misleading.

For software too, if a company has sold software and then goes out of business, it should have to give all licensed users permanent access to use it. Preferably also the source code. (Ideally we’d have open source options for everything but that’s not always practical or possible right now.)

Ubuntu doesn’t respect the spirit of free open-source software. They keep jamming stuff into their distro to increase their control. There are plenty of alternatives. (E.g. Debian, OpenSUSE, Fedora or Mint for general-purpose distros.)

Personally I admire someone who is prepared to publicly take some personal risk in order to fight white supremacists.

No need to use YouTube. Their own website has the whole talk dubbed into English, among other language options.

Using your money.

So It’s Republican policy that the government must not, even in the smallest way, make life any easier for disabled people? And the government must not do nothing and leave in place something that already makes life easier for them, but must actively intervene to make it harder? Of course it is, but what the fuck is wrong with these people that they dedicate their entire life to getting into government so they can punch down and hurt others? How have they not even accidentally stumbled into being better than the worst they can be?

If there’s any silver lining to this, perhaps we can get a renewed interest in efficient open-source software designed to work well on older hardware, and less e-waste.

Pee drinking is somewhat impressive, but can he eat shit and die?

Do you even have a general computing license, citizen? Have you even been through the vetting process?
