Yes, install Linux and the end up using O365 in the cloud anyways 🤡

I get what your saying, in that open source projects normally have a licence that applies to how it’s used - but this has always been open to abuse.

Nothing has ever stopped things like this happening - see how industry has taken advantage of open source for decades (often productising things as their own in the process).

As in, will the USA be still after him? What role will he play in the public sphere now that he is free?

Etc.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out - really feels like it’s been in a holding pattern for 5+ years.

For years this demographic crisis has been coming (it was taught in schools in my country over 20 years ago!), yet we still harp on about overpopulation.

Population collapse is coming if this doesn’t change.

They can meet up with the Cameroonian and Iraqi olympic teams for lunch.

If it’s a public repo do they need permission?

Not saying this is good, but you can’t really argue that it’s not a natural consequence of open source.

“tHATs nOT tRuE the aRCHiteCTuRe iS cOmPlETlY dIffErEnT!!!!!1!11!!ONEONE!!!” <— Apple fanboys when this was predicted on launch of the M1 🤖

Oh man, I remember so many people defended 8GB since the M1 first came out (and since).

I always argued it would significantly reduce the lifetimes of these machines if you bought one, not just because you’d be swapping a lot more on the (soldered in BTW) ssd, but because after a few years of updates it would become unbearably slow, or hardware would fail, or both.

Didn’t stop people constantly “tHe aRchITecTuRE iS cOmPlETelY diFFeRenT!!!”

Sure it’s different, but it’s still just a computer. A technical person can still look at the spec sheet and calculate effective performance accounting for bus widths etc.

Disclosure: I bought a top spec 16GB M1 Mac Air on launch and have been extremely happy with it - it’s still going strong.

They’ll just put surgeon general’s warnings on public schools.

There’s the great trick - you really didn’t.
