Maybe I will wake up from this strange dream.

I think op is thinking of it like that and I definitely was. Or a decentralized platform.

Either of those and even an automated organization can easily have provisions for disputes.

Darkweb works well enough. I think you are wrong.

Massive capital only helps by lobbying and marketing.

Yes and it’s not new. There have been failed attempts to get out of Microsoft by governments and companies around the world for more than a decade. Its hard. The cost is huge, the benefit vague and distant.

The only reason why is gaining ground now it’s because US got really crazy. Not because of the cost of Windows licences. Not even because of invasive AI.

It’s very much true. W10 was cause of pressure from companies and countries, not because of the odd Joe contemplating their os.

Any company may fall, but they can also fail from inaction. Ms has the option to get data no one else can. They can’t afford not to.

Fjallraven Nils. Best trousers in my life.

They will be fine. They are second most valuable company in the world. They have money to throw around and their source of income still seem inexhaustible. A few new Linux users won’t even make a dent.

Sorry to be so blunt, but it’s the truth no matter what we are wishing for.

Awesome, thanks for the info! Great insights.

How do you mean running stuff in waydroid is hit and miss. Stuff just doesn’t work? And you mentioned signal not working and needing alternatives? Signal is my main chat app…

Does it feel cool to use it? Or is it still more troublesome than cool? 😎

Maybe you could write a bit more about your experience?

Looks awesome!

Yeah, that’s true I guess. I’m using ai from protona lot for my complicated medical conditions and it’s helpful, still would be better to have it local. Especially if it had good features.

A friend of mine is building something like that. You scan all the documents and you can set reminders, it does summaries and proposes actions and a buck of other really neat stuff It’s ai. I think it’s a good use case. But the ai means it has to call a server with the information, so I can’t get past that.

Id still want to double check😀.

Stargate is pretty good. Rotary phone 😀. It’s an elegant way to minimize CGI costs for the show. Not only that, the concept that you don’t know what’s on the other side is also interesting.

When I first got internet in 95, it was easy to find stuff like that. I even made a website about making explosives for my computer class. Got a good grade for it and everything. Nobody said anything. Kind of weird if I think of it now. Anyway, making explosives as a hobby is a real bad decision. Most people understand that. The ones that don’t are not smart enough to make them. The ones that are smart enough and still want to make them, would not use chatgpt.

Yes, that’s all great, but you have completely the wrong assumptions about me and about what I said.

Nevertheless I appreciate that you gathered all that information together.

I’m sure you are correct about everything. Have s nice day!

These two are very different to each other. One was created mainly for designers (though it evolved later ) the other was created to teach programers. That’s quite different.

But I appreciate that you feel strongly about p5js. I’m sure it’s great and that it helped many people.

Whatever you say boss.

Yes, it’s not you, it’s the situation. It’s all good, right? It’s not you.

Bye.
