I have never been as bothered by a catastrophic linux GUI crash that caused me to pull up a separate machine to walk me through recovering in the command line than I have been by Blue Screen's of Death.
And it's definitely because I know with the linux failure it was my fault, and won't happen again if i learn what caused it and change my behavior (or the system's behavior).
The same is very much not true with window's BSoD, where each time i simply lose more trust in the system.
I switched my gaming pc to Linux over a year ago, never looked back and haven’t needed to
And I’ve never used a VM to game, either
I game on a linux mint desktop using proton all the time. The work they’ve done for the steam deck translates almost perfectly to every other Linux distro I’ve tried it on
This part about the zoom acquisition is true, but to date no sketchy things have been committed to the client repos, they’re open source
Personally I think the acquisition was to disrupt development, not to hijack it. You’re right that dev work essentially stopped at that time, outside of security fixes.
Also, it doesn’t track you, it allows you to post public proofs so you can choose to let the people you connect with verify your identify. It’s not mandatory.
Best I can suggest is keybase with an auto destroy message timer on conversations, so anything after a day or week is automatically wiped
Still a minuscule fraction of its androcide rate, but don’t expect people to give a shit
So police can’t keep images of criminals faces (recreated and distributed to every cops computer in the nation through computer automation and often ai) without their consent?
And a private company can’t set that up and sell it to cops for profit?
Because I have some terribly bad news for you…
why should giant corporations be allowed to replicate and use it to make money without your consent
Because it wasn’t yours to begin with
Biometrics belong more to humanity than any individual person
Your argument would make it so even facial recognition would be illegal, because they scan and use your facial info without consent
Same with drivers license databases
You can’t say “this particular use of this existing practice bothers me, everyone else needs to change now so I feel better”
Rules on these things need to be consistent, and if they shouldn’t be allowed to use unique information that you consider yours without your consent you’ve just eliminated advertising, security checkpoints, drivers license pictures, filming cops, and a million other things both good and bad that all rely on using your likeness without your consent.
Because it looks like blind ranting
You’ve completely ignored all the people who have been replaced by automation and had to adapt as “oh that’s not important enough in my eyes to force companies to use humans”
The future you want is far worse than the one you’re ranting about. Yours has only the wealthy and powerful enjoying protections from automation, while everyone else doesn’t matter (to you, based on your own arguments)
Is there a specific dollar amount where a creator isn’t allowed to create the way they want anymore?
DNA is highly likely to be unique, not guaranteed to be so.
This is a terrible idea. No one owns DNA or genes, and we already have problems with shitty company’s trying to patent or copyright genes we all already have. It’s bullshit that only benefits those at the top, and prevents others from getting there by restricting their rights.
Voices are the same. You can’t complain about an impressionist imitating you because you don’t like it, that childish nonsense. Everything we do is in some way a copy and recreation of what other people have done. AI just automated that process and people are upset it’s harder to rent seek and gate keep things that never belonged to them in the first place.
Seriously, the future you’re imagining has twins sueing each other for rights to their unique “identity”. It’s dumb as hell.
Right? Even the "ick" parts of linux i'd take over osx or windows
