You don’t need permission to train a model on any art. No IP rights are being broken.

How do you know AI companies straight-up pirate the art and don’t just buy a copy to train their models?

That means spending time and money on developing such a system, which means increasing costs in the short term… which is kryptonite for current-day CEOs

Hey, at least it’s not P2W… right?

Everyone would have still loved him had he stayed away from Twitter and worked with a low profile. But he uad to toot his own horn at every chance and let his true self get exposed.

If Red Hat were to stop officially supporting Fedora tomorrow, can you guarantee the project will still survive?

Can Android/AOSP survive if Alphabet were to give up on it tomorrow?

Fedora is run by RedHat/IBM employees but OK

The more we use and recommend Linux the more of a chance we get of first party support in the future!

I don’t think that has ever been the case. Hardware vendors are not very likely to listen to the whims of a tiny fraction of retail customers, especially the kind which don’t make them much money. Institutional clients are the only one who can have any such sway, and that too is a stretch in most cases.

Whatever push desktop Linux support may get, it will be coming from enterprise customers. So if you have any influence on your company’s IT dept get them to ask for it, especially since this is a golden opportunity as the dissatisfaction with Windows is at an all-time high.

Use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC until it lasts (~2027 iirc). And pray that Linux gets enough first-party support from hardware vendors till then, otherwise we’re properly fucked.

Writers are people, not AI that improves its output quality the more money (hardware) you throw at it. The writers of the Halo TV show should have just been replaced with an entirely new team that actually understood the source.

there were several free antiviruses that were considered good back then

like?

Debian bookworm (12) ships with version 525, so that’s all you’ll get officially.

Debian bullseye (11) is the one that comes with version 470. So clean-installing that is the best bet.

Or you can try to download a driver package from Nvidia’s website and try to manually install it in an overcomplicated process that involves patching your kernel with dkms. In my personal experience this almost always breaks things and is not recommended.

This is one of the drawbacks with Debian’s “stability”. Every stable version of Debian is a standalone, monolithic bundle of software that rarely allows for version changes.

If possible I’ll suggest you shift to Mint. It comes with a dedicated GUI driver manager for installing and switching multiple driver versions.

No, it was the only free one. Freeware antiviruses weren’t common back then.

This being “smart” is entirely based on the assumption that the average user who’s actually trying to just get to their home screen won’t be pissed when the bloated chatbot pops up instead. And that assumption is wrong.

No, though it is weird that you feel like you should ask such nonsensical questions in public forums.

Bluesky and their AT Protocol sound much better.

They follow a federated model quite similar to Mastodon, except with better feeds powered by a variety of user-choosable post ranking and content discovery algorithms. It is the true federated Twitter/X clone.

What does it have over base Arch?

It’s Pichai’s handiwork from what I understand. He was in charge of it before becoming CEO according to Wikipedia.

Hey, they at least prioritise contributing upstream. Canonical is much worse.
