That means spending time and money on developing such a system, which means increasing costs in the short term… which is kryptonite for current-day CEOs

Hey, at least it’s not P2W… right?

Everyone would have still loved him had he stayed away from Twitter and worked with a low profile. But he uad to toot his own horn at every chance and let his true self get exposed.

… which makes it even more wonderful, since those file hosting sites are now somehow able to serve video streaming to millions of viewers across the world FOR FREE.

Beautiful read

I’d have agreed but hundreds of fmovies and similar sites exist on the high seas that provide free streaming of millions of HD content (movies, web series, etc.) somehow. They use some third-party video host that is magically able to concurrently serve millions of people.

where I live using “please” (मेहरबानी) is used often.

Bro where tf are you living 😂

I’m Indian too and have never come across anyone unironically using that word in daily conversations

It may sound tacky but the actual conventional way of getting out of this dark place is to just be outside, with people. Turn off your computer, put down your phone, stop isolating yourself and just go out sightseeing somewhere (ideally with a group of people).

If you’re in India you know the weather hasn’t been better, it’s the best time for a nice trek to Kodai or Ooty or Munnar or wherever.

If Red Hat were to stop officially supporting Fedora tomorrow, can you guarantee the project will still survive?

Can Android/AOSP survive if Alphabet were to give up on it tomorrow?

Fedora is run by RedHat/IBM employees but OK

It’d be better if they went after literally every other AI corp than Meta in this case. Meta is the only one that’s ironically releasing open-source models and leading the way for open-source LLMs. I don’t want Meta to stop doing this.

Meta’s llama models are generally open. In fact Meta is the main megacorp that’s driving open-source AI right now. Everyone else keeps their models proprietary.

The more we use and recommend Linux the more of a chance we get of first party support in the future!

I don’t think that has ever been the case. Hardware vendors are not very likely to listen to the whims of a tiny fraction of retail customers, especially the kind which don’t make them much money. Institutional clients are the only one who can have any such sway, and that too is a stretch in most cases.

Whatever push desktop Linux support may get, it will be coming from enterprise customers. So if you have any influence on your company’s IT dept get them to ask for it, especially since this is a golden opportunity as the dissatisfaction with Windows is at an all-time high.

Here.

If you go down that line you’ll reach a point where you’ll also start arguing that art/literature should also be restricted for (human) educational use. And I would rather die than ever support publishers having that power.

CEO isn’t a job, it’s a position. And yes, the CEOs office is already the one where AI use is generally starting from in corpo environments.

Use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC until it lasts (~2027 iirc). And pray that Linux gets enough first-party support from hardware vendors till then, otherwise we’re properly fucked.

culturally they either serve others or expect to be served

As an Indian it’s amazing how you perfectly hit the nail on the head considering how limited your exposure has been. Most Indians themselves never realize this tendency of theirs throughout their lives.

bluetooth works since like a decade

Lol no it doesn’t. It’s still entirely at the mercy of the OEM, many of who often don’t bother with Linux support. Acer is the biggest example.
