If you are right, you can bet that YouTube-France will have Ad's every 2 seconds and Netflix gets really expensive, maybe the French Government really wants Piracy ;)

Well France that sends a signal (not important if that really tax comes).

Don't Invest as a IT-Firm, if power is ~cheap but data expensive....well there are better places.

>but it’s certainly not obvious to me that this isn’t a good thing.

Because its not a problem for Big-corp, but Opensource-Projects/Tor-Nodes, for example i would have to pay ~10$ a day just for my Tor-Relay. It's deeply Anti-Democratic and the opposite what the Internet should be.

>file sync is backup against the things most people have to deal with

I would say accidentally deleting a file is more common than a house fire, so NO, file-sync is not a backup nor is RAID (block-sync) or clustering (data/state-sync).

A backup is/should be a non-modifiable snapshot of data/files maybe even a state.

I give you an example:

You have a password-safe (as a file). Your computer blows up, but you are safe, because your password-safe is synced on Dropbox....but oh my god what was the password to Dropbox??? Your restore is gone because you forgot to "backup" your password-safe.

However you are not a Loser, being a Admin is a ~lost art and a really good paid one (again).... ;)

>>Any distro that have adopted a hard anti-AI stance?

Yes all the BSD's, and i think with the best explanation, since one cannot proof what license the llm's output has, one cannot legally implement the output under the BSD-License.

But what about Linux? They just dont care, they have the money, corporate backing and with that, all the power.

Thanks for proofing me right.

I said don't be so sensible, don't take everything as a personal attack.

Your conclusion:

>Hopefully (for you) your next victim gets their feelings hurt. You got to get that dopamine hit somewhere

See why it's not good to have people like You in a project?

>You do realise that people are complex and are unlikely to agree with Theo on everything?

No problem go somewhere else, or bring a good point, no one said you have to agree with Theo on everything.

>Because actually most people don’t want to be around conflict.

That's not a conflict, you are simply to soft and think everything is an attack on you.

>And believe me when I say I’ve written and tested a lot of software for OpenBSD over the last 2 decades.

Ehh that's ok i guess?

>So this is why I say there’s very real risk of rudeness costing projects valuable contributions.

Sometimes risks have to be taken, it's also funny that it's always people who are "potential" contributors but are in fact never the ones who contribute anything.

OpenBSD is still here, with Theo.

Letting toxic one-sided-Snowflakes into your Project is "Shitting you Bed".

>What I’m saying is that Theo is more generally rude.

Nice, that means if he's doing stupid stuff i can be rude too without having to worry that a CoC or even worse a HR department threatens me to resign or publicly state what a horrible person i am.

>You don’t need to be rude to be a project shield.

But you can, it's also a really good way to shy away "over-sensible" individuals, if you think that was rude.....well ;)

>Linux went through this evolution with Linus Torvalds

Not he's still the old one, just without "retro abortion"
