Yes but Simon fucking Wardley (whoever the fuck he is) does not regard them highly.

Cue 5 forks launching, none of which is going to last the year (most of them a week).

Windows was already copyrighted and registered with the office before ai code was introduced.

The copyright office refusing to register the version with ai code does not affect the already registered copyright.

The version with ai code is a derivative product of the registered version so M$ will get you for copyright infringement.

Not considering this obvious context makes the Twitter poster completely unreliable.

There’s still copyrighted code in windows, so no this is bullshit.

Code contains a lot of elements that are not copyrightable (elementary maths etc), that does not prevent the overall program from being copyrighted.

I never acted as if the Russians are guiltless for invading Ukraine, it’s you that’s acting as if Americans are guiltless for invading Iraq. That said both peoples are still human.

Care to explain why you disregard the invasion of Iraq that’s already happened and focus on a hypothetical invasion of Canada or Greenland?

You mean my friend who was only ever in stationed in Texas?

There certainly exists Russian military personnel that did not serve outside Russia. I bet you would not consider them as innocent as your friend.

Yeah you sure are good at determining my ‘stupid games’, you really got me there buddy. At least I know what to tag you.

Tag me a Russian shillbot if it makes you feel better.

Let’s see, last time I checked Russia was releasing violent criminals to fight in Ukraine. You go ahead and find me a modern comparison from the U.S., I’ll wait.

I don’t have to play your stupid games. The vast majority of Russian soldiers are/were not convicts but either people who voluntarily joined their country’s army to make a living like your friend did or civilians who were drafted/conscripted. Most of them also did not kill or rape anyone like your friend. They probably would say they swept snow in a snowstorm instead.

Yet they still enable Russia’s attack on Ukraine. So did your friend with regards to USA’s attacks on Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Your friend is not better than them because he is your friend nor because he is American.

Easily proven true by endless apologia for US military members. When Russians do it, the are orc, when Americans do it, they were poor and needed healthcare.

If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without Windows.

The naivety.

Why would a FOSS program, barely able to pay for developers and/or infrastructure give away money for marketing?

It’s highly unlikely that the extra users will result in enough donations to even recoup the funds or significant volunteered development.

How the fuck is a floppy the last physical incarnation of saving a file? HDDs and SSDs are not made out ether.

If you mean save media you commonly interact with, USB thumb drives still exist. Considering computers becoming much more commonplace in their era they probably have been actually used by more people than floppies.

I think I misread a statement about existing users not having their settings changed possibly on an update?

For individuals using JetBrains IDEs with commercial licenses, free trials, free community licenses, or EAP builds who do not explicitly consent to the new data collection model – nothing changes.

Only if Google makes such sweeping changes to make forward-porting the feature impossible.

Am I missing something? Non-paid versions also have to opt-in, no?

You can just escape the spaces with a \ .

Just say it.

The second amendment only protects free speech from government actions.

Free speech is still being suppressed here.

Windows can boot and still be fucked. User can login and still be fucked.

Explorer crash and respawn loop. Taskbar not responding. Windows failing to update and still hogging every reboot. Networking settings get fucked up.

Also booting and even logging in does not mean a person can actually use his computer for his purposes. OneDrive deleting your work files from your laptop can fuck up a guy on the go.

Of course these people are not part of a bigger organization that managed their machines, just like OP’s mom. If anything I would say your experiences in IT out you out of touch with most PC and even Windows users.

Thank God you are not forbidding anyone from working on their own distros.

Can you elaborate on how we are going to get Ubuntu and Fedora developers to work on Debian and Arch instead? Are we going to buy out IBM and Canonical?

So garbage in garbage out.
