Have no idea, but we’re probably talking 10+ years ago, probably on Reddit when people kindly corrected people’s writing mistakes 😂

Totally off topic, and not trying to be a dick, but this helped me remember a lot vs alot

I would say it’s okay with more than yes/no. You could say yes, but only if code review by human. The difference is that if you can only say yes or no, you would have to say yes, but then don’t know if the details of the final rules of AI in the project would actually be a dealbreaker for you. However, these options are a little too much.

I think Google got tired of having to defend itself from lawsuits about Google copying and displaying the contents of web sites and not sending people to these web sites.

Also building an independent search index together with Qwant - already serving the French and German users. In their way to to drop Google and Bing

You mean that OS X lost a lot of users to… macOS.

I know that there is a need for USB-A for some (most?) people, but for people like me, it’s a blocker. I want to buy these Linux-first laptops, but won’t do it. I have very few things that still need USB-A and most of those things are either connected to my desktop screen and accessed using USB-C hub or connected to USB-A power adapter.

At least you can configure it not to have USB-A port. The other Linux-first manufacturers all think we’re in the time just when USB-C came out and all your devices where still USB-A, so a least include three USB-A ports!!!

In my young days, I would Norton Defrag the hell out of DOS and later Windows. Just watching it work was relaxing. And I probably didn’t know what else to do other than playing games.

Didn’t call everyone an idiot, but he’s not wrong, humans makes mistakes all the time

Ran into someone complaining about the same with Edge and updates going to every 4 weeks. Showed them the release log where they have been releasing one to two times a week - minor updates but still updates that require the browser to be restarted but that the person never noticed.

Every fortnight

I will invest my time elsewhere. Boring is good, Debian Stable all the way.

Haha, you sound like my boss… it only takes 10 minutes. If you want to really try it out and not just, more or less, boot it, then it takes more time. And right now in my life, 10 minutes is a lot and does not include getting ready to spent 10 minutes.

So fa, I have had big differences between running in a VM and on actual hardware.

He even hints to it being the case for any LTS distribution. This could be problematic for companies that might want to use LTS for their machines.

Btw I use KDE on Debian Stable

Agree! I was disappointed when I switched my work laptop from a Windows laptop to a Mac. Nice hardware, nice battery life, nice integration with my iCloud/phone. Some things you have to get used to. Others are, in my mind, idiotic stuff (I’m looking at you, Task Switcher, third party mouse support, and keyboard troubles when remoting to Windows servers, weird keyboard shortcuts, just to name a few).

Overall it’s better than Windows but it just have some other quirks that I never thought would be a problem/challenge. I’ve gotten used to most and found solutions others most, but still got the biggest issue with the keyboard on remote servers.

I remember a magazine from before I moved from my parents house, with years of the Linux desktop - this would precisely be start 2000s.

Maybe, if the EU keeps it’s current will to change from American (or other non-EU) vendors to local, then Linux is the preferred choice. It’s already happening for public offices a lot of places. Hopefully this will spread the word and more people will adapt it for private computers. However, I want to see it happen before I believe it.

I’m sure Debian would implode if any big corp started to make “hostile” changes to it. It was by some considered controversial to include non free firmware by default - that should tell you a little about how much people care about Debian, as including the non free by default is against the core of opensource.

Debians biggest issue. Is the default 0 non free firmware and software. This means some drivers etc are not going to install automatically.

I think Debian 12 changed this and now include non free (firmware?) as default. That’s when I installed it with no issues.
