It may not be a scam per se, but it certainly is a misnomer at this point… it’s one of those words (like “enterprise” or “pro”) that have been appropriated by marketing and devoided of any meaning. AI as a word will gradually die while people gradually realize it doesn’t mean anything. Marketing consumes words (and people too).

Nice, but the name should be AS Roma :)

I actually found the tone of the article (which is in tune with the title) quite refreshing, to the point that I read it all despite the fact I couldn’t care less about cars :)

IDK about the US press (I live elsewhere) but sometimes I feel the news could benefit from more candidly opinionated articles like this one and less professional-sounding pieces crafted to influence the readers’ opinions instead of informing them of the writer’s.

To put an even finer point on it, Musk’s tweet today announcing that “all core systems are now on X.com” featured the logo of the company he founded 25 years ago.

That’s the news… is it newsworthy?

I can’t wait for chatGPT to learn it should answer every disjunctive question with “por que no los dos?”

How does it compare to crypto?

Note that even most “permissive” licenses are by definition conditional

You do realize the whole discussion is about what terms to use for differentiating between GPL-like “restrictive” licenses and BSD-like “permissive” ones? Saying that both are “conditional” really doesn’t help anyone.

(also “by definition” the license’s grants may be “conditional”, not the license itself - it’s not as if it looses validity under some condition)

Man, people do love arguing about words without providing (or looking up) their definitions.

Does the GPL being non “restrictive” mean I can use GPL code in my proprietary software? What word that doesn’t offend you should I use to describe this fact?

This is as useless as the git main/master branch debate a while ago.

but this most likely is against the ToS of every anime tracking website

AFAIK scraping publicly accessible websites is fine in most countries (IANAL, look into it)

Windows is getting worse and worse

and so is the press :( websites and content creators enshittification is as bad as other companies (one could even argue they have been among the first to do that)

Thinkpad A485

I had one of those, but the trackpad occasionally wouldn’t work until I rebooted several times (I was using fedora). Did you run into any similar issue?

I wouldn’t know what to recommend, but… are you looking for a web based thing or a desktop app?

a rounding error on my part, sorry 😋

More seriously, I was thinking more of foss desktop environments and user programs (which are basically the same all over) than about the actual os - thanks for correcting me

linux rules because it’s the only os built for its users rather than some company stocks

(only tangentially related) what does ‘driver’ mean in windows lingo? I thought it was hardware-related stuff but I’m probably wrong.

capitalism in a nutshell

almost every website has some sort of tracking

Yeah… and most send info to the same mega companies, which is why it’s creepy :)

BTW: I’m 100% ok with a website collecting stats on which of their pages are more popular and even with profiling my session to see which pages correlate to which - I’m not ok with websites remembering me across sessions and definitely not ok with Google (and others) tracking my whole web history and using/selling it to show me shitty ads.

Great list, thanks!

Are you the author? Because I might have some additions to suggest. (one is Equate which combines a calculator with unit/currency conversion - I have not gone through the whole list)

I meant web tracking: my ublock origin stopped cloudflareinsights.com, posthog.com and googletagmanager.com (which is most probably used to add more stuff - IDK for sure since I didn’t try unblocking to see what it would do).

Creepy tracking, less functionality than the old alternativeto.net (also less content, but of course content takes time so that’s understandable), plus desperate-looking “enroll to our newsletter” and “advertise” pleads. Looks like a cheap attempt at making a couple bucks to me.
