AI has evolved a lot, but the regulatory environment hasn't in some industries like health where this shit can't go anywhere near it. Of course there are people who haven't used it.

Or modern vendor-locked in devices

If you can separate the artist's power and wealth from the art, this works, typically when they've been dead for a while. Otherwise you're just feeding them. Rowling herself has used the money to actively fight trans people's rights in court and used her influence to give her actions public backing.

Text editors with plugin support as potential vectors of malware is a pretty well known problem. It's why at the very least organisations should be auditing the plugins used and actively monitoring them.

Genuinely worried about that when Gabe passes the torch. I'm glad most of their Linux work is going back to the commons and to open source tools so even if they do become shit we'll still have decent compatibility.

Yes it's indirect, but remember that Microsoft is one of their biggest competitors. This isn't about seeing absolute profit from every change, it's about improving linux as a platform to make it more viable for consumers, which will make it more viable for developers, which pushes more people to Steam and SteamOS as their first Linux distro and first destination for games. By making the platform perform extremely well on older/cheaper hardware they also create a market for other businesses to create hardware (Legion Go for example) which will increase the PC market and increase the number of people using steam since it's the defacto monopoly. Yes, they won't necessarily get every penny from every sale of hardware or even games since other game stores exist, but they will get a huge percentage from the majority of people in the PC market.

This seems to be the European take too from what I've seen.

Your syntax is fine, but not all commands/programs accept input from the pipe, or more accurately from stdin. Looking at the man page for file (https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/file.1.html) I can't see a stdin option, so you have to pass each of the files from your head output as arguments to file.

I thought we were unique in this but frankly everywhere in the "western" world is talking about the same things. EU has chat control, Australia has similar efforts, USA aren't pushing for privacy at all so it's not a uniquely British problem.

It's a programming community, you're programming, you're fine.

Watching the series on netflix I had the same reaction.
