Yes, but it's all or nothing with that, what the GDPR forced websites to do is ask what the cookies are being used for and allow users to more granularly choose which ones they're ok with keeping, for example by disabling cookies altogether you wouldn't be able to keep your sessions after you log in, you close the tab and you have to log in again every single time

It still qualifies as community driven since they have no financial incentive to keep maintaining their version of the distribution, but they would certainly be affected by the upstream messing with how the source is provided. What they could ultimately do would be "hard forking", i.e. taking the available state of the original project and keep developing their own version on top without ever keeping in sync with, say, Ubuntu anymore. Instead they will become their own thing that at some point will have strayed from the original significantly enough to be fundamentally different in their packages, configurations, repositories, etc.

Flairs? Not yet, but you can natively mark what language you're using in the post

Everyone talks about the fact that Bash is what it is because it is first and foremost an interactive shell, but nowadays some design decisions are just inexcusable in my opinion, like the awful syntax of common programming constructs, the if in particular, that would only benefit from following how every other language works even if they aren't meant as shells.
Some also argue against the non-modularity with the fact that you should use it for only quick and easy stuff, but that's just an excuse, if the language runtime that comes preinstalled in your system had modern features and sane syntax you would stick to that and save yourself from installing Python/Ruby if they're not needed; and it is clear that there is a need for modularity, otherwise plugin managers wouldn't exist, many swear by downloading the scripts directly and sourcing them in the name of "KISS", but that is just silly when there is a good system set in place that makes it actually easier to manage it all.
Then there's the issue of the holy pipelining, that has more or less been overcome by some languages already, this example in Rust shows that it can be easy, so there's no reason why a terse scripting language couldn't achieve the same.

In the end I don't know what's holding the landscape back, I noticed Xonsh that looks very interesting, but I never tried it, I wonder if it is POSIX compliant and if that aspect even is so fundamental to the success of a shell

Yeah... After the GDPR became a thing

Not everyone has affordable and convenient access to such services around them.
Anyway, when did batteries become such advanced technology that they require specialized personnel to have them replaced? Do you want to bring your TV remote to them too?
It's ridiculous honestly, I replaced three modern phone batteries and every time I need to watch a disassembling video to be sure I don't mess up something along the way, then I need a heat gun just to get into the phone, all that to simply replace a battery, risking to damage other components with the heat or when removing the things by force.

By the way, is your service really that affordable or do you pay regularly for an insurance on top of that?

It's not illegal, but you better not fuck up, because we ain't covering that
The manufacturers

Lovely domain name lol

They can be failry small though, no? The NVME form factor allows for something that is maybe two times longer than a usual USB stick, so it's still reasonably small and a tad harder to lose

Amazing to see!
By this point do USB sticks make sense anymore as opposed to a super fast SSD inside an enclosure? It seems like the former hasn't seen any technical progress in years either

It would be my job to attend her other needs, if you know what I mean.

Yes, go clean the dishes please, sweetheart ;)

True, also I'd rather embrace the Microsoft store (which is also sometimes used as source for winget) than going on the internet and downloading those annoying executables, I'm disappointed that much free software doesn't have official listings on the store, when it has, it's often paid for which is cool, but as a broke and security aware user I'd like another gratis option too, maybe somehow buried under a pile of other results.

Also, kinda unrelated, but it seems that the repositories of historic Windows-native free software is plagued by being hosted on the hideous SourceForge and that makes me instantly run away when I have to search for issues, let alone opening new ones

According to the blog post, it relies on the OpenAI API, which more counterintuitively than ever is anything but open, so you can say bye bye to your privacy when you use it, that would be the same for other services too actually, regardless of their openness, at most you can decide to put trust in their privacy policy.

Until we get a way to interact with online solutions via e.g. homomorphic encryption with decent performance, the only actually private way to use it is to self-host it, if they had implemented a locally run LLAMA based assistant instead, one of the more lightweight models maybe, then I think it would have been an excellent addition with no downsides

The changes couldn't be upstreamed due to the relevant code coming from an unlicensed repository right?

Distrobox might be your best bet for it

Intel or AMD is gonna build a CPU that breaks Linux.

Those are the last manufacturers you could expect to see pulling something like that, it won't happen because the majority of servers run Linux, same on several enterprises' workstations. To support that even more, the drivers by both are open source offering better/easier integration with the kernel.

I believe your playback issues could be related to missing codecs, ffmpeg on its own shouldn't be what enables that as far as I know, perhaps in the past it pulled in a certain codec as a dependency so as a side effect videos started playing.
Those other input related things could have been using X instead of Wayland or applications running in compatibility mode (XWayland).

If you feel like giving it a try again I think you would be really happy with Nobara Linux, it's perfect for a fully fledged installation that doesn't need you to do much or any further tweaking, it's also generally better for gaming, not sure if it will solve all your issues on that front, but do try to run those games through Steam or Heroic, or the more generic Lutris or Bottles

Exactly! It really should have been

~30 years decrepit or deceased

instead

..I swear I only know it for hearsay!

How about some object oriented programming in C eh?

How does that answer their question?
