Wouldn’t have to order them to do anything, they’d gleefully offer to do it first.

Then there’s accessibility functions, which wayland breaks almost by design by denying apps access to each other. Even something as simple as an on screen keyboard becomes nearly impossible to implement.

That’s a side effect of just dumping everything into X11, once you switch from it you lose all the random kitchen sink warts it grew over the years.

Like an on-screen keyboard shouldn’t be fiddling with a display protocol to fake keyboard inputs, it should be using the actual OS input layer to emulate them (So then it’d work with devices that read input directly and not go via X11). Same with accessibility, there’s a reason other OSs use separate communication channels with their own protocol.

Tizen (resting place of Meego)

I’d say SailfishOS is the final resting place of MeeGo, especially since it’s maintained by ex-Nokia devs.

Ironically enough, the only reason I know politicians appoint judges in Queensland, is because of a rather infamous appointment we had.

I mean, the point of the init process is to bring up the filesystem and disks, if the configuration is wrong that’ll be the process to complain about it.

I’m not convinced LLMs as they exist today don’t prioritize sources – if trained naively, sure, but these days they can, for instance, integrate search results, and can update on new information.

Well, it includes the text from the search results in the prompt, it’s not actually updating any internal state (the network weights), a new “conversation” starts from scratch.

“No, go away.”

That’s a perfectly valid way to deal with toxic contributors. There’s always people with better social skills and equal developer skills out there, you don’t have to accept and include toxic people just because they wrote some code.

That’s only if you’re running an x86 container right? It should be native with an ARM64 one.

I’d double check, if you haven’t picked an option specifically it might just default to the fallback (i.e. BOOTX64) It’ll be under the boot device order section.

(Not my picture, stole it from Reddit)

Here it’s listing all the possible boot options this mobo can find, but there’s a generic “UEFI OS” option which I’d bet is the fallback. And once a choice is made it’s kept unless something resets it, so if it just happened to be set to the fallback once it’ll stick with that until a change is forced.

When installing windows while there is a Linux install, windows will see the EFI partition already there and just decides to share it, and doesn’t create its own.

That’s what it’s supposed to do, it’s a plain FAT32 partition, the bootloaders are just files you put in there.

Part of the issue is that while a well-made motherboard will look for all bootloaders on the partition and present them as options in the firmware UI, bad ones will only look for a specific file (\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI) and use that. For an OS to have a chance of booting on those boards it has to overwrite that file, blowing away whatever other bootloader was there before.

It’s annoying, since Windows is mostly well behaved here (It puts the main copy of the bootloader at \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi and Linux bootloaders can see that and offer it, the reverse isn’t true) and can co-exist with Linux well (Well…), but manufacturers cutting corners causes more problems for everybody.

If these AI researchers really have no idea how these things work, then how can they possibly improve the models or techniques?

Like how they now claim all that after upgrades that now these LLMs can “reason” about problems, how did they actually go and add that if it’s a black box?

Yeah, there’s a mysticism that’s sprung up around LLMs as if they’re some magic blackbox, rather than a well understood construct to the point where you can buy books from Amazon on how to write one from scratch.

It’s not like ChatGPT or Claude appeared from nowhere, the people who built them do talks about them all the time.

Socialism is when you want speed limits

And there’s still web directories hanging around, similar to the now dead dmoz site.

https://url.town/ and https://curlie.org/ for example

It’s soup level when you don’t notice it’s defrosting for 4-5 months.

Good news, they’re making it easier to fix stuff like “spurious double clicks”.

True, that’d definitely make it a lot more viable to hold corporations to account.

It’s an easy license to reason about, allows for basically any project to use it, and you don’t need to worry about trying to enforce it (Because the GPL is only as good as your lawyers are)

We were mistaken as the entry for Austria and nobody wants to admit that mistake

Plan 9 is inspired by UNIX (Helps that it had the same devs), but it’s not a direct continuation.

UnixWare is I think the only direct continuation of the original AT&T UNIX. The various BSDs are close enough but were re-written entirely in the late 80s/early 90s so there’s nothing original remaining.
