Item 3 is even shovelling more AI into more places. About the only thing that is real in that list is the taskbar being able to be moved, and this was something they have promised would happen since they rewrote the taskbar and crippled its functionality.

I keep trying to use the various LLMs that people recommend for coding for various tasks and it doesn’t just get things wrong. I have been doing quite a bit of embedded work recently and some of the designs it comes up with would cause electrical fires, its that bad. Where the earlier versions would be like “oh yes that is wrong let me correct it…” then often get it wrong again the new ones will confidently tell you that you are wrong. When you tell them it set on fire they just don’t change.

I don’t get it I feel like all these people claiming success with them are just not very discerning about the quality of the code it produces or worse just don’t know any better.

No country has managed a transition to communism, all of them got turned into various types of authroritarian dictatorships. There is no known method for transitioning to communism and maintaining it.

At some point those same authorites are coming for Lemmy and the metaverse generally.

Theft has a very specific definition, critically it requires the taking of something so that someone else is permenantly deprived of the thing. When something is cloned or copied its not theft, its all intellectual law driven so copyright and trademark breaches. No one is deprived of the product, only potentially the payment for a service.

Pretty certain cd and pwd have changed over the years. The kernel hasn’t remained the same so the commands that use it wont and now we have faster methods to do various things like getting file data the commands that depend on it will change. Less quickly than something that is still gaining features but bit rot is a very real effect since every single part of software is in constant flux.

It will definitely take in the order of millions of years to recover from what humans have done to destroy the habitat. The species will destroy will likely never return, the planet in a million years time will bear the scars of the Holocene extinction.

The fact it recommends popular stuff is a useful addon feature, its a good way to look at what others are watching.

Alas I don’t think you will have the political stability to ultimately allow the adoption of an alternative. There is zero point building something that also accommodates the USA right now as the new King is quite likely to ban it and waste all the time put into it. Even a treaty put in place wouldn’t stop this from happening, so frankly its not worth an EU or otherwise company anticipating doing anything with the USA for the foreseeable future.
