I don’t think you really understand my point ?

If you created some feature for libreoffice why would microsoft want to steal your code for office? They could just write their own code which would obviously be a better fit for their code base.

You’re conflating the theft of code used to train models with the theft of a business brand.

Yes, of course they’re using your code to train their models. That use is in their terms and their licensing.

No, of course they don’t steal businesses. However, they do acquire them or destroy them or undermine them, as is long standing tradition.

I don’t understand your point though? As in, how can anyone feel secure using their platform.

Code isn’t sacred cleverness that contains the value of a business. Being able to read the code doesn’t allow one to steal the value of that business. The value is in the brand, the domain, and the userbase.

That’s not really Microsoft’s business.

They sell picks and shovels. If they just stole someone’s mine everyone would stop buying their picks and shovels.

Because YouTube doesn’t engage in anything like that ofc.

Cognitive attrition.

Turns out you need to practice doing things. Who knew.

In these threads we’re not really speaking to those people who have e seen the light though. We are collectively mourning what has been lost, and “we told you so” is a somewhat satisfying outlet.

LOL. You do you but this sounds like a nightmare to me.

edit: it’s not just “becoming tech support person”, but becoming the default person to blame for everything.

It has costs, not negative value.

I don’t think that’s true.

I think they know the future is bleak, and they just want to have the best bio dome or whatever the case may be.

As in, they know they’re making things worse, but if they don’t do it someone else will. So in a bleak and shit future, do you want to live like a king, or choke to death like the rest of us.

Sure but if we are building out renewable capability as quick as we can, but it’s being outstripped by demand, then maybe demand is part of the problem.

They know that things are going to be shit. They just wasn’t the nicest yacht to live on when it does.

I guess we would be 30 years from stable scalable fusion reactions?

Or trying to do text in excel?!

Looking at the article, he pretty much thought ICE would only detain people crossing the border from mexico.

I’ve found myself using this a whole lot. It really is great for finding foss and / or non-US alternatives.

Sorry to be a debbie downer but I have grave concerns about the long term viability of firefox.

Sites obviously don’t test against ff anymore with more and more bugs appearing in more and more sites.

I have to daily drive both ungoogled-chromium and librewolf and sadly, the number of things I need to do in chromium is increasing week by week.
