Echo Dot

If it isn’t, it never will be.

Linux has everything going for it in '26, people pissed with Microsoft, Apple still not doing anything in the space, no one cares about CoD any more, and Valve have their computer coming out.

Because it doesn’t have that kind of access to the file system. It can pull and push files from the system but that’s it. It has to interact with the file system via an API, it’s not got direct access.

Given the tendency of these systems to randomly implode (as demonstrated) I’m unconvinced they’re going to be a long-term threat.

Any company that desires to replace its employees with an AI is really just giving them an unpaid vacation. Not even a particularly long one if history is any judge.

What’s this version control stuff? I don’t need that, I have an AI.

- An actual quote from Deap-Hyena492

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

As much as I would love to go over to a purely Linux system there just isn’t the support. I would not relish the prospect of trying to administer 5,000 laptops, and 300 desktops without the benefit of active directory user groups. Even with all of the messing about that Microsoft has done with Entra, it is still a far better mass device management platform than anything available on Linux and Apple haven’t even tried.

No the keyboard is important. There are so many truly awful keyboards out there that have no travel on the keys.

I absolutely cannot stand the keyboard on the MacBook air. It’s so incredibly cheap and it appears to be made out of the same material that they package luxury chocolates in.

What if we’re not American have never had guns in the first place?

Why is every discussion of left vs right politics always couched as if only the United States has politics and the rest of the world essentially doesn’t exist in any real meaningful sense?

What’s does the bat say?

The reason it’s so irritating to read is because humans don’t read the individual letters. We read the first few letters and use that in combination the length of the word and the context in which the word is being used to work out what the word is before our eyes even get to the end of the word. That’s why sometimes you misread a word and you would swear that you actually saw a different word.

Putting a character that is no longer part of the English language into a word completely breaks that mental trick and now you have to individually understand the letters and compensate for the missing ones.

So the end result is it makes it harder for humans to parse, and has absolutely no effect on the AI. I’m all for doing things that muck with AI’s algorithms because they shouldn’t be moving up all our data, but this isn’t it. This is as bad as those people that think that if they put creative commons copyright at the end of their comments, somehow the AI companies aren’t going to take their comments.

We’ve had this discussion with them, it doesn’t work, but they don’t want to know, so instead they’re just going to annoy everyone for no reason.

AI ingest huge amounts of data and then vectorise it, to the point at which it’s no longer even a language.

So they literally see no difference between “Mercury is the first planet in the solar system” and “Mercury obedo lobo mukwongo i kin jami ma ki lwongo ni solar system ma ineno man pe ineno”. That’s why AI companies keep going on about multimodality, text and video and images are all the same to an AI, they’re just different ways of representing the same concepts.

So putting a thorn on everything won’t be effective if it is used consistently, as the AI will just treat it as a different language, and vectorise it away into weird AI math language where the thorn no longer exists.

They’re very much focused on gaming, which makes sense it’s Valve, but essentially it’s just a PC so it can run anything that you would be able to run on Windows or normal Linux, also apparently it can also run Android apps.

Ah, I see you went to that kind of school

Also elephants, the trunk has no bones in it so it’s just a hole in the skull, I’m sure future generations will portray it but the single giant eye.

But honestly pretty much no animal looks the same as its skeleton because every animal has a lot of fat and connective tissue which just doesn’t get preserved. Really the only animal that looks the same as a skeleton as it does when it’s alive is the frog.

The media does not want to write about incremental discoveries so instead they make up sensationalist headlines and then clarify in the body of the work. Knowing full well that a lot of people won’t read beyond the headline.

Fancy been so stupid that you can’t work that out.

Neither meal looks particularly appealing. Those have to be the most anaemic fries I’ve ever seen, even by the standards of American fast food.

See I wasn’t really going to kill myself today, but the thought of dialing that long ass number is just to much.

I was reading one of those books to my kid once and there was a pig butcher. I’m not sure how that’s supposed to work in the lore of the book. Was he some halliburlector type or was he actually just a butcher. How deep does the analogue go?

Who,.that’s the next mother’s day gift sorted then.

Don’t worry there’ll be a company in 2095 that still using it. They’re always is someone.

My reading just based on the post above is that none paid versions are sharing by default but can be changed to off. All other versions are off by default but can be changed to on.

I don’t understand what the advantage to the developer is supposed to be to let AI scrape their code.
