On released they didn't know yet how far they can push that telemetry shit down their users' throats. I bet, 11 is better optimized for that. And eventually, it'll be Win365 OSaaS anyway...

This is pointless. You don't even seem to know what profit and value are exactly, much less how the letter is increased.

But ok, gamble away your money for worthless crap if you believe it's the same as owning non-distributing value stock (lol). I'm not an altruistic economics teacher trying to stop you hurting yourself.

Geese, then take whatever else if working in a remote location without upstream access is important to you (note that I originally wrote "Subversion or whatever"). It's just version control, not rocket science.

I'm a git devotee myself, love it despite its growing redundancies. But I am able to imagine a world without it and don't tremble in fear. That's all I said here.

A value stock means it's undervalued compared to its fundamentals or "cheap". It has nothing to do whether or not the company pays dividends.

The difference to garbage like crypto-tokens is that there actually are fundamentals - a profitable company you're buying a share of and for a cheap price. Of course there's risk involved but you are likely to profit from this.

Much more likely anyway than any crypto-token gamble because there's no value underneath, only wasted energy; and yes, also with PoS or whatever - it's all inefficient compared to a conventional database behind the firewall of a trustworthy organization. Your trustlessness rethoric is the actual lie behind this huge scam.

Well, I don't know what you mean, so possibly? I just briefly used SVN in a small team for about half a year and would never claim to be an expert. It's alive and kicking though, so regardless what you say I don't believe it's a complete clusterfuck and a world without git would be doomed.

Even online crime often settles with gift cards though because it's too much of a hassle to explain to the Average Joe how to setup an account and buy and transfer crypto-tokens.

I disagree. Git is great but we'd have done fine with Subversion or whatever. Could you imagine the whole internet running on Windows Server though? The thought alone makes my skin crawl.

Absolutely. That's why I always write "crypto-tokens" instead. It's a bit longer and more annoying to write but I feel we owe it to the respectable field of cryptography.

Behind a value stock is a profitable company. Behind crypto-tokens is a hilariously inefficient database with no application in real life.

Gamble away your money, I'll take the stock - or "have fun staying poor" like crypto-token morons like to say.

Netflix comes around, other streaming services

The (admittedly inevitable) appearance of other streaming services was shit already since with it came exclusive content.

That was really my thought - future iterations of Chat GPT won't like spez very much.

The problem is people thinking the tool is a "calculator" (or fact-checker or search engine) while it's just a text generator. It's great for generating text.

But even then it can't keep a paragraph stable during the conversation. For me personally, the best antidote against the hype was to use the tool.

I don't judge people believing it's more than it is though. The industry is intentionally deceiving everyone about this and we also intuitively see intelligence when someone can eloquently express themselves. Seeing that in software seems magical.

We now have a great Star Trek like human machine interface. We only need real intelligence in the backend.
