Not communists.
In my experience the leaders of the UK Socialist Workers Party like to turn up to demonstrations, meetings, etc in the Merc, BMW or Audi their Labour MP father bought them.
Eventually they become a Labour MP themselves and the cycle continues.
It's ok Mr Rubio, your country has been on my DO NOT FLY list for over a decade already. I do not travel to countries who fingerprint innocent visitors at the border like a facist police state.
Right now you're on my how do we remove this chunk of rock from the planet & blast it into the depths of space for the good of humanity list.
I recently had to rewrite 834 lines of complicated code and asked my boss, who originally wrote it for assistance. He put it into GitHub Copilot and was very impressed with the 121 lines of code it produced.
Until I pointed out the switch statement that was missing half the options. And later the seven missing methods.
After I rewrote Copilots's garbage output, the complete and working file was 537 lines of code.
The only thing good I can say about GitHub Copilot is at least its broken, partial code was easier to read than my boss' working code.
Fuck off Sundar.
Does your AI translation still regularly provide the opposite of the actual meaning? Attempt to translate surnames? Ignore several sentences for no reason? And censor the original text like a prudish American grandmother?
It's so bad I would never rely on it for anything important where I didn't already have a high level of subject knowledge to catch all the mistakes.
Why would I try any of this other crap?
What a load of bullshit.
> 'Make me an app for discovering California, the activities, the getaways.'
What does this app do? Beyond the nebulous "discovering California", what even are "the activities, the getaways"? What OS does it run on? What languages should it support? Does it need a map? Location tracking? Route tracking? Notifications? What is your colour scheme? Corporate logo? Your "AI" will produce a useless cookie-cutter app that looks like every app produced by it's other users which will then be rejected by Apple / Google for being unoriginal and having no purpose. BRAVO!
> Perhaps if they adjusted their pricing back to more realistic levels instead of keeping them artificially high they'd sell more consumer stuff.
Sell more of what consumer cards? They have no more to sell because all the chip supply is going into "AI". Why would they sell them in a card at < £1000 when they can sell a rack at £200,000?
> If Intel can bring out products giving better performance for substantially less then Nvidia are charging
Which Intel products? Battlemage is a low end GPU at best and overpriced. I saw dual GPU Battlemage cards yesterday they are so bad. Only AMD can compete with NVidia and that only at the low - mid range unfortunately.
"Flatpak, WINE 9, Chrome, Transmission BitTorrent client, a download manager, an image viewer, optical-disk burning tools (!) and multiple different media players"
If Samsung pre-installed all that there would be cries of "Bloatware!" from every commenter. If Microsoft did it there would be antitrust trials in multiple juristictions.
Little tip for you and your Dear Leader... the "best and brightest" don't want to live in a facist shit-hole with no education system, no health system, crippling prices due to tarrifs on everything and government stormtroopers deporting people to concentration camps in another country.
As an Android developer who has published several apps on Play, this is just Google's standard Android security protections.
We all have to jump through those hoops, Nextcloud is not special or a victim here. File permissions have been getting more restrictive for years, notice the article quotes Android 11 requirements when Android 15 is about to be released. If Nextcloud can't handle Android 11 requirements then they are going to be completely screwed when they get to Android 13 which is far more restrictive.
> We'll have these surfaces like future devices future things that are sort of similar to operating systems,” he added.
Did he ask his RNG word salad generator for that answer? That is one of the most wooly headed non-technical pieces of bullshit I've ever read. Does this man know anything about computers?
Also I'm glad this will be a subscription service so I can refuse to pay for it.
I learned to use a mouse with my Spectrum (yes, really) and had no preconcieved notion of which hand to use so I used my left despite being right handed. Later when mice were setup on the right of PC keyboards I learned to use my right. So I can use either.
It is very funny seeing the looks on people's faces if you use a mouse in your left hand in front of them and then when asked tell them you're right handed. It's like black magic or something.
I use WSL regularly for several use cases. Using VirtualBox instead would make these tasks harder, increase friction and take longer.
Why would I want to do that when WSL fits all my use cases better than "just use a VM."
I suggest next time you want to do a complex calculation you try just using an abacus and see how you get on.
One authoritarian regime with an appalling record on human rights vs another authoritarian regime with an appalling record on human rights.
Personally I'll take the one with thousands of years of history, invention and civilisation.
For American readers, that would be China.
