If this would also mean I can drive at the max allowed speed and can’t get fines I would actually like this. I don’t really feel the need for speed anyway, the maximum allowed speed usually is fine for me. But some countries like France switch a lot between 130 and 110, so most of my speeding tickets are because I didn’t see the 110 sign immediately and there is a speed camera.

If this solution let’s you go a max speed with zero tickets I would use it.

That is true, but my smart TV and smart scale both got something like 5 years of updates. Who buys a new scale every 5 years? My parents still have a scale from the 90s that works fine.

Exactly, if you are as big a Microsoft, you can’t tell 100% if one of your developer’s is actually being paid by a foreign government. Even if you say completely check the commits other devs make, there will still be deadlines when a code review is just “looks fine, next”.

Ugh this reminds me of a guy I worked with, he used to be a trucker but became a software tester (he was also very religious).

Anyway he used to hate on open source software and call it open sores. According to him it was all amateur crap. Ugh I still hate that guy and it has been 15 years…

Actual first was I think knopix or whatever it was called. My friend had a bootable floppy and we booted it on a school computer.

First real daily use was Ubuntu somewhere around 2006.

I don’t know about the windows stuff, haven’t used it in years. But back in the day installing Ubuntu was super easy (just boot from USB stick and install and mostly everything works). But a fresh windows install was a real pain like downloading drivers for all your hardware etc.

Nowadays it’s pretty easy in both cases I guess.

No you’re not, the post was editted. The original one said it was all because of AI, the entire reason for the API change was to sell to AI companies.

Edit, now I’m in doubt, because if you edit a post that is shown somehow right?

Edit2, just to be clear my point is that Reddit content was never free, before and after the API change. It’s easier to get the content with a decent API, sure. But it was never free, just like the lawsuit the NY Times started.

It’s funny you say that because there was a ‘hack’ for chatgpt where you could ask it something like how to build a bomb and it would refuse. But when you added TLDR it would do it.

Is it? Because when you build a bot and just scrape Reddit I don’t think you can just use the content to train AI, just like the New York Times. The API change was definitely to sell more ads and get a higher IPO, but I don’t think it was because of AI.

Am I the only one that just did

Loves computers -> got an engineering degree -> had coworkers I looked up to all using Linux -> started using it myself -> wife and kids

This is just the lastest thing, it used to be the old IT guys and the ones with a beard, long hair and a metal shirt.

I like that example, everytime you hear about some discovery that x kills 100% of cancer cells in a petri dish. You always have to think, so does bleach.
