Graphene is focused on security, not privacy

That would be a deeply ahistorical argument.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect

AI is a very old field, and has always suffered from things being excluded from popsci as soon as they are achievable and commonplace. Path finding, OCR, chess engines and decision trees are all AI applications, as are machine learning and LLMs.

That Wikipedia article has a great line in it too

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists organization views the AI effect as a worldwide strategic military threat.[4] They point out that it obscures the fact that applications of AI had already found their way into both US and Soviet militaries during the Cold War.[4]

The discipline of Artificial Intelligence was founded in the 50s. Some of the current vibe is probably due to the “Second AI winter” of the 90s, the last time calling things AI was dangerous to your funding

I’ve been an Arch user for more than a decade and I’ll usually be first in line to defend it from dodgy claims about unreliability.

But that forum response is bizarre. Literally the last two RSS items right now are about how splitting packages will require intervention for some users (plasma and Linux firmware). VLC is an officially supported package, and surely this change would impact almost every VLC user?

New opt-depends is a nice pacman feature, but it hardly implies that things have been removed from the base package.

You can do this on Arch too and it will work great until it doesn’t. Manual interventions are rare and usually don’t affect everyone.

This is the one that broke me

Lava lamps actually don’t have any fans, the motion is driven by convection instead! /jk

Even Arch has an interactive installer now, and Endeavour is meant to be Arch with a bulletproof installer as well.

For dual booting I strongly recommend having Windows and Linux on separate drives altogether.

Commenting before reading other comments

They deliberately removed code search for not logged in users almost immediately. Just recently they removed cloning without an account, so now updating my computer requires signing in to github.

They have been awful stewards.

Git doesn’t have a concept of a preferred repository; your local copy is exactly as valid to git as a git server hosted on github.

The originally intended workflow as I understand it involved generating patches which would be shared via a mailing list.

In practice there will generally be a repository that’s considered “canonical” for a project, whether that’s the one on the computer of the lead maintainer or some hosted solution.

A basic git server is essentially just a repository owned by a restricted user with SSH access granted to maintainers.. This can allow users to push and pull from a centralised or semi-centralised repository in much the same way as GitHub.

I think you’re missing some key parts of the Star Trek lore. America didn’t peacefully evolve into the Federation. Earth wasn’t able to get past it’s self destructive tendencies until after World War III, a conflict so devastating that 30% of the Earth’s population was killed. My knowledge is more fuzzy on this, but I don’t think the American empire survived WWIII as an entity.

Also we have images of black holes.

This would fit in perfectly in Dr Suess’ Hop on pop

You might want to wait until after the May election to see whether Australia is immune to the rise of fascism.

You don’t happen to know what whereabouts in legislation that’s detailed, do you?

What’s in plagiarism?

Nvm… Clicked the link:

This circle is empty because as soon as sinners arrive, a demon carries them to another circle and forces them to suffer the punishment meted out to the people there. After their 3-year “post” is up, they are carried to another circle, and so on…

The closest thing I’ve seen is Combobulate

Among other things it lets you define the return type in terms of the arguments to the function.
