20 years ago I would have been excited: when Microsoft made Clippy to try and help people. Now we know you created this to harvest data.

I’m mind-blown that people feel no shame when data harvesting from computer illiterates, or programmers who write anti-features (like forced online accounts for a local OS).

We don’t need the madman who thinks suffering is good to change their mind for sensible people to act, as medicine doesn’t need the madman who thinks always throwing up is healthy. We place expectations on others everyday: like when we walk past a stranger. Perfect agreement is not needed to have expectations, or demand better from those who benefit from others.

If a country has a universal basic income then it would be easier for people to choose to donate time to a project.

Some are fortunate enough that they could take up the work without monetary returns, and perhaps donations do not count depending on the software license or depending on some country’s law. Most would find that a hindrance and then users must hope it doesn’t get worse or find something else entirely - like proprietary software.

Non-commercial terms hinder the ability of others to fork a project, which is a concern if something bad inevitability happens. [They give into temptation and add anti-features, or people do/say something which makes them untrustworthy or unassociatable].

I’m gonna make my own Rust, blackjack and h-… A better blackjack.

If Linux gamers are not worth his time as we are so few then maybe this singular person’s comments are not worth our time over and over.

I hope for more than merely support for a freer OS. I want the whole video games industry to move away from a proprietary model to software freedom - where demand for support is not dependant on the original dev.

Rust (game) looks well designed gameplay-wise from what I see in Willjum videos, and such. Given the number of cheaters I also see then I don’t think this person has any say on which devs are serious about anti-cheat. Linux haters gonna’ hate.

“Militant foss” reads like the old saying “militant atheist”…

Maybe you aught to take your own advice and not mention this again, otherwise you’ll hear opinions that conflict with your own.

Are there plans to rename openSUSE? (Due to request by SUSE?)

Untagged?

It shouldn’t matter if people agree if they both seek the true. If trustworthy sources have verifiable evidence that points different way then the article can present all possibilities. If one side has more/better evidence then present that as primary.

Well, I was aware RAM prices fluctuate.

I’ve never been so unfortunate when buying larger RAM, or building a new system with a new DDR version.

People buying RAM: oh no, what do we do?

People buying GPUs: first time?

Losing a monopoly on specific game servers certainly can have a commercial risk. Are you entitled to that at all, let alone when you stop hosting them?

Legal risk of what? Others will have that responsibility, unless you’ve done something you don’t want others to see?

Safety - Yes someone might have less moderation than you - that’s up to the users to decide if it’s okay. We still have the right to change our car’s break pad - the thing that stops a large mass moving fast from hitting children.

‘Organize your co-workers’ is not a normal thing to say as it implies you have control over them but coworkers are equal. It reads “organize your staff” in a how_do_you_do_fellow_kids.png way. "Organize with your coworkers’ may come off better but “around AI” isn’t explicit either in support or opposition to AI. So what the title means has to be inferred.

I had assumed it was more spam.

The title and the generic image.

Companies to be named and shamed!

It bitches very often when you disable Google Pain Services.

You can’t delete the 1GB malware either.

Clippy would never promote a religion. Clippy just wanted to help.
