Open AI kind of is a nonprofit. It’s a nonprofit entity owned by a for profit entity, which is fucky and defeats the purpose, but that’s an argument you’ll see people make.

TempleOS is legit super impressive, it’s a shame the dude was pretty much insane but also that’s probably what it takes to code an entire OS from scratch entirely by yourself.

The short answer is: Apple collects much of the same data as any other modern tech composite, but their “walled garden” strategy means that for the most part only THEY have access to that info.

It’s technically lower risk since fewer parties have access to the data, but philosophically just about equally as bad because they aren’t doing this out of any real love for privacy (despite what their marketing department might claim)

The thing with Debian distros (like Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS) is that they’re extremely stable releases. This does not necessarily mean everything “just works”, but rather that they will not experience major code changes that could disrupt a working system. This means that if some apps don’t work out of the box, that state is going to be pretty much the same in any distro based on the same Debian version.

A more “agile” distro might be less stable, but as a result could see some updates to apps that Debian is still lagging behind on. Fedora is probably the “next step” in this direction: it’s still reliable but gets updates more frequently than Debian (it’s sort of a “proving ground” for code before it gets pulled into Red Hat, which is a distro focused on long-term stability).

As for desktop environments: I’ve always thought GNOME was the most Mac-like DE, but KDE has enough configuration options that you can kind of turn it into anything you want. Since this is on a very old laptop, you might consider LXDE, which isn’t the prettiest DE, but it’s super lightweight and might let you squeeze out a bit more performance if you’re wasting a lot of compute power just rendering the desktop.

Even wearing super cyclical goggles, it doesn’t make sense for reddit to intervene here. Twitter is a competitor, why would they want to encourage people to link to a competitor?

Comment section tries not to blame Biden for actions taken by the judicial branch, with judges appointed by Bush and Trump. Difficulty: Impossible.

4. Yes, portainer will see every container you make, regardless of how it was created.

5. No, creating a docker container doesn’t make a compose file. It’s like cooking a meal doesn’t output a recipe.

6. You can save the compose file(s) wherever you want, you just need to run “docker compose up” from that directory. If you make the container within portainer, I believe it stores the compose files in its own volume. Not sure about that, I keep my compose file separate from portainer for most services.

That would be FMLA

I’m with you about not anthropomorphizing faceless companies as the bad actors here, but also I really doubt the CEO was the one who enacted this decision. It probably came from some middle manger who clicked “yes” on some report they didn’t actually read.

If a company is going bankrupt as a result of hosting a video service, they’re not going to be able to afford to archive and make it available for download either.

Every enterprise laptop I’ve seen in the last 5 years?

The entire market is all in on this trend. It’s hard to get a laptop with more than a couple usb ports anymore.

Best news I’ve seen in weeks

Even a non-IoT electronic device still runs on many different chips.

Tech companies are terrified of becoming commodities, even though a good chunk of them basically are at this point.

Intel would probably be in a better spot if they’d just leaned into that rather than try to regain the market dominance they once had.

The vast, vast majority of chips produced are “old generation” chips used for relatively mundane purposes. The high-tech stuff you see in the news is a minority (though it’s pricey enough that it doesn’t look that way in company earnings reports).

Think power supplies, middle-of-the-road CPUs, ASICs for common I/O like USB and ethernet, timing devices, and wireless communication modules.

He’s 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.

He got old.

Most of those are just based on the same real-world animal.

How DARE you also put a wolf in your game!
