Honestly I feel this so hard. I’m getting increasingly tired of the BS Microsoft is pulling with Windows but at the same time my primary use case is gaming. Gaming on Linux is getting better but I don’t want to do additional work to install and play my games or have any doubt about whether I can run a certain game. Windows, for all its flaws, does meet those requirements.

Isn’t signal open source though? I know being open source doesn’t magically make it interoperable with other services but even if Signal or Whisper systems sell out, someone could just fork the projects

How are biometrics fundamentally insecure?

Yeah I thought the complaints about iOS were a bit weird as well. It seemed like they didn’t like that smartphones got more capable. Of course there’s going to be a million apps and a million settings when (as you put it) consumers increasingly expect their devices to do everything

What “Anti-features” does proton VPN have?

Whoa whoa whoa, that’s Momazon, a company that resembles but is legally distinct from Amazon

Have you considered that you may be turning into a vampire?

That one’s hard for me to read and I’m not even dyslexic!

X is the name of a windowing system used in a lot of Unix-like operating systems

The API is going through code review right now!

The problem I have with this view is that AI “reading” a book is not the same as you or I reading. It doesn’t actually learn it’s just predicting the most likely sequence of words to be a response to whatever prompt it receives. In that sense, the words are just data, not actual words. Given how valuable data is in this day and age, I think it makes perfect sense for OpenAI to have to either: only use public domain/authorized works, or pay the creators for their work.

And the effects will be

While the effects you list don’t seem entirely implausible, you’re stating these hypothetical situations as if they are already fact and we have evidence to indicate that. I agree with @substill in that I don’t see Threads being a threat to small communities.
