If dual licensing was standard the software that uses things like xz would pay down the line so everything was funded.

They wouldn’t have to if xz had a dual license.

But when open source projects go dual license to try and get paid people lose their minds.

You don’t. Hackers often exploit things like this for ages before they are found. Every bit of non simple software also has bugs.

But chances are you won’t be the target.

Just keep everything updated and you should be alright.

Weird I’ve never had to manually install a driver for windows.

Yeah weirdly my parents (in their 60s) are getting into tiktok, reels and Facebook.

You’re just not the target audience. Likely too old.

A similar thread on Reddit suggests that Google blocks certain nordvpn IP addresses.

Seems weird it would only be Google.com but they suggested changing server location. May be worth a go.

I explained why they want that. You haven’t offered anything to explain why they are “gross”.

You didn’t really support your argument.

Presumably so they can be notified of messages when using a browser. They’re no different than any other notifications.

But let’s be honest it still really isn’t an out of the box experience.

Just look at all the shit with Snap you see constantly.

Windows generally does work exactly like that. It’s the reason it has such a huge market share of desktops.

Good job. It’s a great feeling when things finally click.

Unfortunately stuff like this is exactly what is holding Linux back from mainstream adoption.

Yeah I use WSL a huge amount of my work.

Azure for instance is much easier to work with in the console than the website.

Then there’s grep!

That is a false equivalency.

The trains cost money to run so you are using resources you haven’t paid for.

Pirating takes away a possible purchase. You haven’t actually used any of their resources or cost them anything.

If I wasn’t going to buy it anyway they haven’t lost anything.

If you streamed it from their servers for free using an exploit that would be stealing, as you’ve actually cost them resources.

Given it’s an artificial intelligence it stands to reason its understanding and knowledge are artificial.

I don’t think there’s any relevance pointing that out anymore. No one thinks it’s conscious or a general AI.

I also don’t see how it’s massively different to our ability to parse and output text tbh.

You could say it’s artificially intelligent haha

It is very intelligent though.

It’s not simple to come up with coherent statements on such a wide variety of tasks.

It’s not just stringing random words together like predictive text. It understands context in a way that is very complex.

It is more knowledgeable than the average person by a huge amount.

For example I asked it to write songs about squidmas, an imaginary holiday I made up to irritate my children. It was able to rewrite Christmas songs but with a squid theme. That’s way more complex than predictive text.
