c/datahoarders feeling personally attacked

TCL runs fine on 192MB of RAM and a PII. But any modern webpage brings it all to a screeching halt.

It shouldn’t take a measurable amount of time to find the calculator when I start typing “cal” in the application menu. And yet it frequently takes upwards of 10 seconds for anything to show up at all.

There was an article like a month ago about an AI assistant to play the hard parts for you.

I feel like I’ve never heard anything but complaints about the all-in-one image.

On the other hand, I’ve been using the community maintained docker image for a few years with minimal issues.

He knows MS missed the AI train.

Nobody likes copilot.

How are they determining if an an app is a browser?

real people who can provide human perspectives on things like AI, crypto and economics instead of just echoing back a tech worker’s thoughts on such subjects.

I doubt these guys are paying someone $6k/hr to disagree with them.

I have no idea what any of this means.

As long as it doesn’t get shoved down the users throat

Ubuntu doesn’t have a great track record in that regard.

Is dead simple and does both OpenVPN and wireguard.

You simply input a random color. How they can check if it is true ? Same for any other field.

The point there is that complying with the whims of every town on the planet gets to be unmanageable. A town with <1000 people deciding what fields are present for the other 8 billion is insane. I picked color as an example for something dumb that wouldn’t matter. I hoped that was obvious.

And if you can just lie about it, then why even bother including the field at all?

In some countries it would be illegal to ask for such data. (EU for example)

Exactly. How does systemd decide which set of laws to follow? The ones that say you need to report the data or the ones that say you can’t?

I’m interested in where the line is for adding this stuff.

What if Hemmingford, NE passes the same law but wants your favorite color instead of dob? What if India says the OS needs to verify your caste, or any number of oppressive countries want your religion as a field? Hell, the US is like one step away from saying your gender assigned at birth needs to be tracked.

I don’t know who this Dylan Taylor guy is, but he really seems to like the taste of boot leather.

Btw, if I’m not mistaken the systemd PR implementing the birthdate change is closed wihout the code being merged. For now.

It says merged in the GitHub link in the post.
