I miss the comfort of having a single OS (not multiple distros to choose from), and a father who would reinstall the OS when I broke it too much again.
I miss the Macromedia Flash games, bringing games to school on a floppy disk labeled “homework” (then discovering I’d only brought the shortcut).

All of this is just nostalgia, and while I miss it, I’m happier now with my Linux Distro.
I’ve customised the desktop environment, broken the OS and reinstalled it myself (several times), and copied games to another device while forgetting to copy the folder containing my save files.
I guess some things stay the same.

Best example: the holocaust was legal, hiding Jews to save their lives was illegal.

I wonder if they would ever understand this, or just think it’s a cool fact.

if the AI breaks something it will be apparent.

No, it isn’t usually apparent. Most bugs from AI are subtle edge cases that will only show up later. One of those “later” instances night be when you try to run it on a different computer, or when another user presses buttons in an order you didn’t try, or when you try to add a new feature, or worse, when someone tries to hack your code and finds all the common security vulnerabilities because that’s what the AI has seen most often and copied.

AI can’t think – it can only give results it has seen before or some combination of them. We already know AI can’t produce an image of a full glass of wine, or tell you what year is next year on Jan 1st.

The technology can’t work. No matter the input prompt, it just isn’t capable of producing code with no bugs or edge cases. That requires thinking and logical deductions, both disproven by the examples in the previous paragraph.

I tried it recently, it still doesn’t work.

You will get more logic errors than you could possibly imagine. Even when you’ve fixed the obvious errors and it seems to run, you still have an enormous number of edge cases not handled that make your project a buggy, insecure mess.

It’s the Dunning–Kruger effect again. If you can’t do it yourself, you don’t notice that AI can’t do it either.

Will they accept a ftm trans person into their group?

I doubt it. Once you start excluding some people, you start looking for ways to exclude everyone. Choose love, not hatred.

I once wrote a 2 line, 10 word script that had 9 bugs in it. I’m not overly proud of that one.

It started OK, but now I’ve got cinnamon everywhere.

How long until “please stop killing innocent people” is also considered hate speech.

That just sounds like a .norm file

Walk in, remove light. Now none of the switches control the light.

I would be there, except I’m stuck in traffic. Too many people on the roads (except me).

I fully expect Windows to ask permission, then just send the data anyway.

Windows telemetry has 2 options when you first install. Full telemetry, or minimal. Notice there isn’t a “no” option.

I can’t find the source, but I remember someone comparing full telemetry to minimal telemetry, and found that minimal was about 90% of full. So not exactly minimal.

I don’t envy your position.

I’m certain that this new law has nothing to do with protecting children, and only exists to provide a way for AI companies to start making money.

I’m still disappointed that tags are absent from the mobile app.

You can also watch light move with a camera.

Thanks for keeping the server running so reliably that this event was actually notable.

If you intend to install both, install Windows first. It has a habit of overwriting other bootloaders.

When you install Linux second, it should install a bootloader that will let you choose which OS to boot each time you turn on the computer.

Always backup data you care about. Installing an OS carries some risk of data loss.
