  • Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software

    Jump

  • To me it feels like there’s two Googles. The one that was run by Page and Brin was awesome, pretty much everyone in the industry wanted to work there.

    Then they put someone else in charge to maximise shareholder revenue, and it went to shit soon after.

  • I’m going to throw that accusation of disinformation right back at you. He’s careful not to use the words “open source” verbatim, but it’s very clear what he’s talking about.

    Every detail of the article is a fair summary of what he said, and you’re trying to pettifog over a string match.

  • I’m not clear on what your point is then. Your initial “it will be a struggle to get rid of” pivoted to “abrupt event”.

    If you’re trying to make the case that we should all move off MS as soon as possible in order to avoid the damage of an abrupt event then yeah I’m in complete agreement.

  • I don’t see how that’s true. It’s a little bit of a change to go to open source. Might need a day of training for a small percentage of particularly slow-minded staff members. Definitely nowhere near “organization is no longer viable” territory.

  • Remember, whenever you see a patently weak argument like this from a trillion dollar corporation, they’re not saying it because they think anyone will believe it. They’re saying it to give the corrupt politicians in their pocket some way to pull a straight face when voting in the corporation’s favour.

  • Everything's fine. Nothing to see here.

  • It's a shame you're getting downvoted cause you're on the money. People are kidding themselves if they think the Right are the only ones who have cynical media outlets telling them what they want to hear for clicks.

  • fr I've been reading headlines like this for years now, and LLMs are still shit at doing anything other than produce things that superficially look good but rarely stand up to close inspection.

  • Trump, 79, Sparks Health Concerns With Bizarre Slurring

    Jump

  • Sorry to disappoint anyone who hasn't watched the video yet, but it doesn't look anything like what's being implied by the description given by the Daily Beast or by Harris' team. They make it sound like he had a mini stroke on stage or something, when it looks more like he was reading off a written speech someone made for him and tripped over a sentence that took him mildly by surprise. If anything it looks like the same Trump interrupting himself mid-sentence that we've seen for decades.

    It's not a great moment in speechmaking history, and it would be nice if he did step down for health reasons, but I didn't see anything there that I haven't seen hundreds of perfectly healthy people do when reading from a card.

  • The torrent protocol is quite happy for you to only download and seed some files within a torrent, it's just that the most popular client for it isn't very good at managing very large archives.

    I'm guessing there's probably an alternative client that is better at this, can anyone tell me what it is? If there isn't one I'll make one, but I don't want to burn a weekend duplicating something that already exists...
