The correct solution here is for courts to throw out the policies on grounds of vagueness etc. and hold the companies for the digital stalking they do. If not in the regulatory-captured US, at least somwhere else where they still give a shit about consumer rights.
They might have “upgraded” it to use an LLM instead of an older (and more deterministic) technique.
How many Ubuntu users (who are usually novice in Linux)
Don’t be so sure of that. I used to use Gentoo 20 years ago. I use Kubuntu today. Why? Because I don’t care anymore and just want something that works with minimal effort.
The last time I reinstalled my OS, about a year ago, it was because I replaced the SSD. The time before that was seven(?) years earlier, when I built the system in the first place.
Snaps mildly annoy me though, so I might change. Eventually, after probably several more years.
I bet there are more people like me (long-time users picking boring, “basic” distros) than you think. We just aren’t usually very conspicuous compared to the “I use Arch BTW” crowd who are new enough that they still feel the need to make distro choice part of their identity.
How quickly we accepted that it’s normal to pay someone to go get our groceries for us. To drive us around when public transportation is available. To run errands for us. To bring us fast food.
Speak for yourself!
I have delivered more food myself than I’ve paid to have delivered to me, and that was a job I had in college (working for a restaurant directly, as it was long before the rise of third-party delivery) that I quit after one shift because it sucked.
And even in the few times when somebody else (e.g. an employer) insisted on getting a grubhub or uber for me at their expense, I wasn’t happy about it! It always just feels incredibly wasteful – and slower/worse – than just doing it myself.
How’s the math work on a shady place? I’ve got a big-ass tree above most of my roof.
“Band HMO?” Man, that’s gotta be the most depressing music ever.
Yes, that would be a case of the other person following my rule.
That’s for the fork with a UI implemented in Qt.
GIMP being worse doesn’t mean WLBR isn’t bad.
If they sit down next to you, yes. If you sit down next to them, no.
By today’s standards, sure, but this comic is from half a century ago.
The headline writer misspelled “disproven.”
Why the fuck is even Nature giving more credence to this delusional shit than it deserves?
And for “smart car” issues, it’s really reticent to move in some cases, like wiþ þe trunk or any doors open. No, fucker, I’m just inching forward in þe garage! I don’t need to close all þe doors! Give me a warning, fine, but don’t refuse to move.
I get nervous about my '94 4Runner because it has a power rear window that rolls down into the tailgate (and thus the tailgate can’t be opened unless the window is working); there’s no way in Hell I’d ever consider buying a car that refuses to work based on potentially-flaky sensors that aren’t necessary EFI inputs.
This has nothing to do with pickups, except that one happens to be the car he’s using as an example. It’s going to be coming to every new automobile (there was already another thread yesterday talking about it being mandated by law in the next year or so) unless there’s a massive public backlash that stops it politically.
The insurance companies already have dongles that “give you a discount” (read: price-gouge anyone not using them) for snooping on your driving. I’m sure they’re very excited for that functionality to be built into all cars so they have an excuse to make it mandatory for providing coverage.
How? I’m a mod and haven’t figured that out yet (short of looking up things one at a time on lemvotes).
It’s funny how you say that’s the best strategy in a thread about somebody getting banned for it.
If you actually understand how to implement all that maybe you should go contribute to PieFed.
