  • While I agree, these laws aren’t being made because smokers keep accidentally smoking near others, it’s because a large number of smokers can’t be assed to keep their distance. The major place I notice smokers is when they are just meandering through a large crowd as if everyone around them is fine with the smoke.

  • The issue with smoking is the second hand smoke. It causes cancer, among many other health issues. Vape on the other hand doesn’t really have this same concern.

    They aren’t banning smoking because of nicotine, they are banning it because it causes cancer.

  • Do you often spill drinks into the mouths of passerby’s?

    The issue isn’t the substance, it’s the second hand smoke. Children are smart enough to know “this is a thing my parents do that I can’t” but no level of smart can keep the air they breath from containing smoke.

  • It’s not a back door, it’s a side door!

  • Maybe some parts of it, but certainly not the whole thing. You think Trump wants any more than southern Ontario and the oil?

  • Ngl I really wish there was a decent way to hook into third party “offerings” like duck.ai. I don’t have the spare GPUs to run anything at any kind of decent speed.

  • Is it? I’ve never actually bothered to look under the hood. I’ll have to give it a peek some time.

  • You’re talking just package managers? Winget has existed for about 5 years. Not to mention the many third party package managers like chocolatey and appget.

  • They aren’t explicitly trained to sound confident, that’s just how users tend to talk. You don’t often see “I don’t know but you can give this a shot” on Stack Overflow, for instance. Even the incorrect answers coming from users are presented confidently.

    Funnily enough, lack of confidence in response is something I don’t think LLMs are currently capable of, since it would require contextual understanding of both the question, and the answer being given.

  • I flat out told my family “when I die, just burn it all down and buy basic consumer stuff.

    There’s no way my tech would survive for more than a handful of years without a proper sysadmin, and the entire thing would be two dead HDDs away from total data loss.

  • Looked it up… idk this doesn’t feel like a problem? Yeah, the related term is absolutely a problem, but this seems like a sanitized version that’s meant to portray the same core meaning without the racial slur?

    I could very well be wrong of course, I don’t have much more context than an extremely quick search so please correct me if I’m wrong.

  • Appreciated, just threw a user tag on them so I can ignore them in the future.

  • I mean sure, ignoring the fact that the justice department is actively suing Apple for being a monopoly, Apple isn’t a monopoly.

    Ignoring the fact that a court of law ordered the situation being reported on, there’s no reason Apple should have to do what they are doing.

    As long as we ignore reality, the things you’re claiming make perfect sense.

    👍

  • 57% US market share. This decision has no bearing on any other market, and to expand the view to the global market is disingenuous.

    I can install Steam if Epic doesn’t allow a game I want on it, or install it directly from the developer. You don’t have that option with the iPhone.

    They do not have to allow competitors to operate on their platform.

    Yes, they do. Especially when that platform is synonymous with 57% of the hardware in use.

    Your entire post is based on an incorrect premise.

    Ironic.

  • Why exactly are you comparing the docker file to bare metal, and implying you need to do more than run a docker command?

    You don’t install anything when using docker (beyond docker of course.)

  • Why are you running pipinstall when using a docker container?… Or are you talking about manually creating your own container?

  • Yeah, AI was totally never used to describe the logic behind NPC actions as far back as the Atari days.
