Guess we should all stop using cell phones too, the erlang that powers them is old as dirt and therefore must be bad.

Frustratingly plausible explanation.
This continues to be such a weird argument to me. They have a duty not to endanger people, but somehow sitting on the knowledge that a whole bunch of people are going to die without warning them isn't harming them?
They sit on that knowledge because the government has demonstrated repeatedly that it will punish them for leaking attacks, not for some humanitarian reason.
Don't know about Apple. My impression is that they take privacy pretty serious.
They do not, but they are excellent at convincing people that they do. They put on a hell of a show and say the right things and publicly advertise their marketing kill switch, but under the hood they're doing all the same things themselves generally.
Not to say they're not better than others, because the bar is waaaaay down there.
LF != Linux.
This entire problem would go away if these projects just changed their terms of service to ban running in California. The tech sector runs on Linux, having Linux deny service over this would immediately see lobbying to kill the law start in Ernest.
This is true elsewhere too of course, but the buying power of Silicon Valley can't be ignored.
I feel like most people have a mother, what a weird thing to call out.
/s, I hope obviously
It was a shocking revelation to me many years ago that most child sex abuse isn't done by pedophiles, but it's probably important to acknowledge.
Just like "regular" sex abuse, it has little to do with attraction and everything to do with power and control.
The distros should just opt against working in CA. Once silicon valley gets hit with an order to stop using Linux I fucking guarantee the legislation will silently disappear.
The bill…bans universities from turning down speakers if their speech is deemed controversial or cancelling a speaker based on student backlash…
From the people who brought you “you can’t force them to make a cake”.
Well, this was exactly the answer I expected but I’m still disappointed.
I feel like I’m in a niche position where I want the technology to deliver on promises made (not inherently anti-AI) but even if they did I would still refuse to use them until the ethical and moral issues get solved in their creation and use (definitely anti-cramming-LLMs-into-every-facet-of-our-lives).
I miss being excited about machine learning, but LLMs being the whole topic now is so disappointing. Give us back domain specific, bespoke ML applications.
Ok but which shell are you using on Konsole?
