I had similar issues with other distros on old MacBooks, unfortunately it's the locked down nature of their drivers, especially WiFi. I would have continued to use the hardware as it's good enough for simple use cases but fighting with custom WiFi drivers isn't my idea of fun. Gave up and got a second hand ThinkPad a year or two ago, no hardware issues since.

Python is very much "good enough" for that kind of environment. The touch screen drivers on the other hand, yes, should probably be rust/c.

Remember that we're only seeing the part AFTER the crew decided to intervene and remove her from the plane. We don't see what she did to trigger this response.

Yeah but from an interviewing perspective it's a win-win. Either the guy answers the question for those elections more clearly, showing that he only has a problem answering the one about 2020 and therefore clearly doing it because of the orange man, or he still refuses and he looks like he can't answer simple questions.

Glad to see some political commentators catching on to this too.

Surprisingly measured comment section on that article (at time of writing). Given how harmless this software is it's a pretty easy conclusion of "if it puts you in harm's way, don't use it", and as the other commenter here says, it can always be forked if people don't like the political messaging.

Anyone I talk to about this agrees that the IP theft itself is not a problem but the difference in punishment between the big tech companies and the average person. If someone in a basement had made chatGPT or equivalent, they'd have been put in prison for life, or fined into oblivion. OpenAI does it and suddenly one of the richest companies in the world says "if anyone even thinks about suing or holding them to account we will defend them with our literal army of lawyers". Then China does it and suddenly IP matters again.

Yeah I feel this even as a millennial. The tech we grew up with was exciting, constantly improving, generally not exploiting us, always getting cheaper. For gen z they've grown up when tech was abundant but always getting worse, more expensive and more exploitative.

Famously optimistic!

Subheading makes it clearer that it is talking about the services rather than the phones

One of these days I should really look at the specific differences that means Linux packages rarely experience this while npm it happens seemingly once a month.

The "make shit up" machine was found to be making shit up? Huh, if only we could have predicted this!

 

Title. Friend group and I play regularly but most of us are bad at the role playing part of it to the point where it's hard to tell when the player or the character are speaking in some scenes. Conversations are stiff. We can't use too heavily modified voices because we're playing remotely. My character is about to die (probably!) so help me pick a character or trait of my new character that someone not comfortable roleplaying can stick to without feeling weird about it!
