If most people don't want it enough to opt in, then it belongs in an extension, not the base browser. Then it's still there for the ones who actually do want it, but won't bother anyone else.
If I recall correctly, last year's cacao crop failed pretty hard too, although I don't remember whether or not the reason was related to climate change.
Does it do anything that isn't in response to a human's prompting? No? Then it can't be conscious. Consciousness requires having a sense of self, which implies having needs and desires that one acts to fulfill without needing prompting. Even a bacterium is more conscious than these things.
Is anyone actually surprised by this? It's one of those things that any semi-competent programmer could have told you would be the case. The study just formalizes it and adds specifics.
Thing is, that means you don't really own the hardware that you buy, because a corporation is dictating what you can do with it even though it doesn't belong to them. Most of us consider that unacceptable.
Pretty noticeable that Gentoo Linux doesn't offer an option to compile OnlyOffice locally—it's only available as a -bin package, which means that it's precompiled by upstream. That tells me that either the available source is too incomplete to actually compile the software from, or it has some really strange licensing. Either way, it can't be open-source software in the accepted sense.
The chain of trust starts with the owner of the hardware, not some random corporation that happens to make an OS. The owner can, if they wish, outsource the root of the chain of trust to a corporation, but that should be an active decision on their part, not something that happens just because the hardware was shipped with some random OS preloaded.
. . . And then the market will be flooded with RAM that companies preordered and can't pay for, because the AI bubble burst before it could be manufactured.
Hey, I can dream, right? And seriously, I would be quite happy if this causes an increase in dumb appliances, devices, and cars in the meanwhile.
Certainly whoever wrote that didn't do a lot of distro-hopping. As far as I can tell, Gentoo still includes sys-apps/net-tools in the @system set, meaning that it's not only installed by default, but it's quite difficult to remove.
How concerned should I be when the documentation for complex devices coming out of China always seems to be so bad that no one except the people who designed them can program them anyway?
Then the latest (and apparently last) episode of Gnosia,
We're not actually sure about that. The nature of the show is such that it might easily be another fakeout. Currently, livechart is claiming there will be another episode, but has no airdate for it. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on.
Let's be honest here: he'll take any excuse, and if he can't find one, he'll manufacture it.
And really, Belarus doesn't produce enough potash to cover that 12 million tons even if they sent their entire production to the US.
