> Yeah - code rewrites are generally a thing to be avoided

Ha, Ha. Tell that to Gnome or KDE teams.

Because Rust is better than C. /s

This is only because people disable telemetry and online accounts.

> I don't understand how OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft ... get to do this

They wrote the law to serve them. They will modify the law to serve them. It is funny how some people are more equal than others.

The chinese clones were more interesting. You had 7 songs to choose from.

> A GTA 6 download is estimated to be 210 GB. Under this law the publisher or storefront will have to pay an extra 11.5 EUR per copy in tax.

Maybe this would teach the publisher some "computer science". /s

They teach that in schools. /s

> Trump and aides

I mean CIA has nothing, i mean nothing to do with it. /s

> If a browser can show it on a screen, in fact screens of many sizes, it should be able to render to a printer. With perfect fidelity. It frustrates me to no end this isn't the case.

Software is hard. Rounding corners is easier.

Truly an achievent. /s

NATO also partitioned Yugoslavia and then "anexed" some of it in a 10-15 years war.

> downloads that Just Work without patching

Then why do you need Automatic Updates ? If it works, don't fix it. /s

> It's interesting that the current AI revolution began with transformers that came out of Google who was trying to apply AI to search, and now that seems to be the an unpopular use for it.

It is because it is crap. When i search for "Wombat" i want the animal or the program. Not a page containing the word. Not a squirrel that looks like a wombat.

> and now it never does.

For you. Sometimes one needs to restart the zombie Windows. (Graphics problems, file access problems)

> No, latency hasn't gotten worse.

Just compare the start of Notepad in Win9x with the start of Notepad in Win11

> Software may be getting worse, but it used to be horrible

It is still horrible. Much horrible. Working with multiple windows in Win 11 is an exercise in masochism, although Windows got some "virtual desktops". And Android and iOS do not even have the notions of windows or files.
