You didn’t share anything tho’

In which way does it differ from Yunohost?

Where did you hear that nonsense?

Didn’t know John mentioned a telephone number. Learning new things every day.

That’s a weird mispronounciation of “Pizza”.

Petrichor-lite is still preferable.

D. Nothing is better than petrichor.

Replying to that with an “RTFM” response has to be some kind of meta-joke.

Get real noob, I use bare Linux syscalls.

Something tells me that if a city can do it in 2004, so could a company with all the improvements in 2025. And as with the city, the biggest issue will be the management being idiots (corruption) and/or underfunding the IT.

If a company has to treat their employees like delicate flowers who can’t deal with a slightly different interface it’s not the issue with software, but the companies’ training program / policies and unwillingness to invest in them. And it’s not like investments in FOSS IT and your employees wouldn’t pay off, all those proprietary licenses are expensive as hell. See link, the city saved money despite even having to develop whole new tools, acquire licenses and whatnot. Lots of small stuff not necessary today anymore.

Not saying it wouldn’t be a complicated endeavour, but certainly not impossible and definitely one that pays off.

The code is immaculate. Its fully tested as well. No one has looked at the code, they’ve just complained.

Even if that’s correct it isn’t even the main reason why people are pissed about the use of AI. No matter if the code is “perfect” or not, it was created primarily using inherently immoral and outright dangerous tools.

I wonder why people like OP feel convinced or even good doing rage bait on anonymous accounts like this and generally making the internet a worse place for everyone.

Yunohost.

Didn’t say “ethical billionaire” anywhere, that’s a nonsensical word combination. Just wanted to point out there are differences in what should be done with an Elon Musk, Peter Thiel or Rupert Murdoch (who use their power, time and wealth to make the whole damn world a worse place for everyone for their own gain) compared to a Gabe Newell or George Soros.

Because

• Forbes doesn’t even list everyone
• There are rare cases of absurdly rich who don’t deserve harsh punishment (but deserve their fortune to be taken away and fairly distributed, of course)
• Taking info from a private company to do so would be… questionable.

What the fuck?

He is… the Watcher?

Probably to collect all that it can to sell the data. Or they fucked up the feature and it triggers a connection attempt each second or sth.

No one is forcing anyone to use it, so use it or ignore it.

That’s a little bit naive to say in todays’ IT landscape. Everyone who wishes to keep their privacy and personal safety - which quite frankly should be everyone - only has the option to run some Linux or BSD for their personal computing.

It will always need more effort on the part of the user to get going with it

That’s not true, thanks to hardware vendors as well as lots and lots of work of many people. The culture is still a problem though, as it effectively gatekeeps certain settings like Bootloader (“no normal user should ever have to change those”) or Service Management (“No normal user is supposed to touch those anyway”) behind an enormous skill level most people should not have to reach instead of a GUI people can navigate and understand. Not to mention that many seriously treat CLI commands as universal, something that repeatedly breaks systems of users who’re then rightfully pissed off.

there is no end game with Linux - no inherent need to be used and loved by everyone.

Again, if there were accessible alternatives that respect and protect the user that would be true, however there are not. The “endgame” (bad word for it) should be to finally reach accessibility-parity with Windows so everyone can actually use it.

I get what you want to say, but the circumstances we’re in don’t support your opinion on these things. Arguing like this perpetuates the more often than not rather unwelcoming (as in elitist) nature in the community.
