Do you work for Microsoft or something? This reads exactly like their sales FUD playbook

Not entirely sure what you mean; Linux’s user management, access control, security etc has always been ahead of Windows’ for its whole existence.

We’re in the process of moving to Linux in our company, entirely because of how aggressively awful Windows 11 is. We’d have been perfectly happy staying on Windows 10 forever, but last week our head of development woke up to discover that Windows 10 had spontaneously chosen to “upgrade” itself during the night without him agreeing to it.

I’ve heard it said that the difference between Machine Learning and AI, is that if you can explain how the algorithm got its answer it’s ML, and if you can’t then it’s AI.

No. This is a specious argument that relies on an oversimplified description of humanity, and falls apart under the slightest scrutiny.

I don’t have many pictures of myself on my own phone. Most pictures of me are on the phones of the people who took them.

The distressing thing for me is knowing that a lot of my friends (and exes) are exactly the sort of people that’ll just absent-mindedly click OK without reading it and share every single photo they’ve ever taken of me; photos which Facebook’s facial recognition will easily tag.

downvoted for that website’s super illegal “pay us to not track you” policy

I suspect the world would be safer if everyone just let Trump think he won.

Yeah for sure. Every Apple device I’ve had has been well built. Every interaction I’ve had with Apple Incorporated as a company has been a dystopian nightmare, and with the walled garden it’s not possible to separate the product from the company. Therefore, it’s a bad product.

The Top Gear Reliant Robin launch reached 3000ft / 900m, although they were unable to stick the landing.

most devs… Kinda suck at their job

Also they like to make memes about how it’s the rest of the world that’s doing best practices, software testing, teaching, and interviewing all wrong

yeah, I can see not having a social media profile at all being treated as tantamount to sedition before too long

Yeah, it was never not going to happen. Shareholders demand unending year-on-year growth at all costs, forever, until everything is shit.

I live in a slightly less developed country where as far as 90% of the population are concerned, Facebook is the internet.

I hate it with a passion, but if I don’t have a login then there’s no way for me to find details of pretty much any business or event in the city.

I did a ‘download all your data’ on Facebook a while back and there wasn’t anything about my tracked browser history. Does this mean they’ve also violated the “users should be able to see the data you have on them” article of the GDPR as well?

I’m guessing they’re trying to hide behind weasel shit about the ids being anonymized or something as though it wasn’t trivially easy for them to deanonymize…

In the case of Air Canada, the thing the chatbot promised was actually pretty reasonable on its own terms, which is both why the customer believed it and why the judge said they had to honour it. I don’t think it would have gone the same way if the bot offered to sell them a Boeing 777 for $10.
