I do. But, I recognize that preference is personal so I try not to shame people for the desktop environment they prefer.

I’ve tried KDE, and others, multiple times in the last 20 years or so and it’s just never felt as polished to me as Gnome does. When Gnome 3 came out I spent quite a bit of time with Mate because I didn’t like the new Gnome. But eventually I got used to it and it got better.

Typically, for new Linux users, I recommend Gnome for Mac people and KDE for Windows people.

Exactly, that and the “we are a [insert product name here] shop” mentality. The things I have had to fight for over the years are mind boggling.

All of my degree was in C, C++, C#, Java, etc. and the one class I had that did web applications did Java backends and middleware with PHP frontends. It wasn’t until I got into the industry that I had to learn Angular, Electron, React, Django, etc.

I don’t think it’s the devs making these decisions.

Did you? They said they won’t release it and gave no timeline for release and their stock went up…

You are just moving the goalpost now.

Anthropic just proved you wrong on that one.

They won the prize for an AI they made in the early 2000s.

I didn’t say it was finished. I said people had won a Nobel prize for having done it. It takes decades to win a Nobel prize. My point was that it had been done years and years ago, not recently.

Watson beat Ken Jennings over a decade ago. Protein folding was already done too, the people who did it even won a Nobel prize for it a couple years ago.

LLMs being the most visible part of AI after over 75 years of AI, isn’t because they’re the biggest or latest or greatest or whatever, it’s marketing. Plain and simple marketing.

When cable TV first came out it didn’t have ads because you were paying for the service. When Sirius satellite radio came out it didn’t have ads because you were paying for the service. When Netflix streaming came…

Adding ads to YouTube was always the plan.

I had a book once that had a full color spread for the movie in the middle of the book. Obviously this was a skippable ad, but still, it’s inescapable.

Sure, but my point was more they still currently sell devices with less than 4GB of RAM so it seems reasonable to foresee people still using them in 2 1/2 years.

Last time i checked they still sell a RPi with less than 4GB of ram.

Yes and no. Fedora is the upstream of RHEL, and like Fedora there are both workstation and server editions. The relationship is similar to RHEL being the LTS of Fedora but not quite the same. A lot of governments and enterprises that have switched to Linux for workstations are using RHEL.

Funny, but fun fact: it’s a portmanteau of Deborah and Ian and is intended to be pronounced Deb-Ian.

I hate to break it to you but XP-7 only existed the way it did because Microsoft was under an injunction preventing them from bundling services with the OS. They actually intended to have Microsoft accounts (then called .Net Passports) tied to activation in XP.

It’s the opposite for me. I live in a place that gets fairly humid during different times of the year so cassettes don’t often make it If they were left in a car or a garage or something similar. Whereas most of the CDs that survived my teenage years still work.

There was a similar incident where they found a sailor on one US Navy ship had their own Starlink terminal because they were broadcasting an SSID. At the end of the day, you can’t fix stupid.

Seriously, stop being a troll. I’m done with this conversation. Not one time have I used the word violation.

Believe it or not I pay attention to usernames. I was talking about the link you just posted that mentions the liability assumed by the signers of the BAA.

Maybe read it again? My job requires me to be HIPAA and FERPA certified, I am confident in my interpretation of the situation.

The answer to your question is in the article you posted… did you even read it?

Have a great day, I’m done talking in circles.
