The problem is that a student has a reasonable expectation of being taught by someone qualified and knowledgeable in the topic. If the professor is using AI, then that is a major breach of trust that brings into question the professor’s qualifications and whether you are actually getting the education you are paying for.
There is never an appropriate time for a bill that limits, curbs, controls, restricts, or obstructs freedom of expression. Remember, if an action or expression does not infringe upon someone else’s rights, then any limitation on it - particularly by the state - is a grossly unethical violation of their natural human rights.
HBO Max was the best streaming service out there during the COVID years, and it wasn’t even close. Then Zaslav comes on board and now everything under his umbrella is terrible. If investors want WB, Max, etc to be appealing and profitable again, they need to give Zaslav the boot.
Monopolies and trusts are never beneficial to anyone save those who control them.
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person on earth that remembers Close Combat. I loved how the units felt like real people instead of automatons. That’s definitely a franchise I would love to see return.
Turns out that America is the origin of Dune’s Tleilaxu and their Axlotl Tanks.
Love… apathy… it’s 2025, that Venn Diagram is a circle.
That’s in interesting theory and does make sense given Frank Herberts ecological themes. My theory, that the worms are derived from humans genetically, is largely circumstantial, but the books have such strong post-humanism themes that it also fits. The way spice affects and mutates humans specifically (like guild navigators), the need for non-computer solutions following the Butlerian Jihad and the use by mentats, the fact that worms and spice have never been found anywhere else, the way Tleilaxu use and manipulate humans and create “biological technology” and the mystery of their origins, etc. I also think that one of the risks that Paul & Leto II foresaw was not only the destruction of humanity through death, but through genetic corruption that results in any remaining humans completely losing their humanity.
openSUSE is also pretty great, and doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
There really is a Linux for everyone.
Clearly, there are no winners. I don’t want to encourage people to use it, or make them think it’s okay to use it. There is no “taking it back” in this case.
Yes, the worms. I think Leto II even states it matter-of-fact in God Emperor, but I’d have to find the exact quote.
I am autistic and do not appreciate it at all. On whose behalf am I offended?
Ubuntu is fine. I do understand the hate, though. Snap is contentious for very good reasons, Canonical makes major decisions by fiat rather than listening to the community (see Snap again), and they have corporate motives that are often at odds with the spirit and desires of the greater FOSS community (like forking upstream projects instead of contributing).
Mint is still based on Ubuntu, for example, but I feel it’s a more ethical suggestion than Ubuntu itself.
I find that’s very unhelpful to potential Linux converts. They will quickly find out that there are infinite flavors of Linux, become overwhelmed, and give up.
When you are introducing newcomers to Linux, it’s best to make specific suggestions.
It’s covered in the later Frank Herbert books via a trail of various, disparate clues. The worms were created by mankind to produce spice (and are possibly genetically engineered post-humans) and then seeded onto Arrakis with the intent of turning it into a dedicated spice-production planet. Spice and the worms were never natural.
Oh. That’s an interesting use-case I hadn’t considered.
Nintendo has sued multiple open source projects and their creators into oblivion.
Authoritarian culture begets authoritarian policy, in both the public and private sectors. Results were never the ends. Compliance and control are.
