Even if someone builds a brand, it can get sold and (atleast this twas true last time I checked) the Amazon reviews get grandfathered in.

We used to develop AI to convince us its human (turing test). The future is about convincing AI/Automated Systems that you're - competent (hiring), not a bot (anti-spam), doing your job (KPIs), not a threat (ala social score, AI powered weapons targeting), worthy of being saved (insurance claims), etc, etc.

Whether or not humans break from those shackles, I for one, am hoping Hollywood supplies us with wonderfully dystopian sci-fi entertainment for years to come.

It's not, but believe what you want.

Its clear to me that Chrome is a key logger, they bundle it with random software, it spies on the user and collects data on the user, among many other things.

Chrome may be an excellent browser, but the venn diagram overlap with malware keeps getting larger.

Hopefully the way for the United States to compete with China isn't to be more like them.

Oh no, exceptional compound growth! The sadness!

I see, looks like you found something to aspire to. Good job!

Yeah.. America started declining after when they allowed non-whites to immigrate. Worst economy ever starting 1965. No golden era nothing.

Go look at the people doing the science & research in universities at post-doc minimum wage salary. Maybe just say thank you, and go on about your day.

Right.. Microsoft, Google, Amazon filled with mediocre Indians writing mediocre code and about to go out of business any minute now. Oh wait, how does reality work again?

>Who corrupted it?

As usual, it started with Americans screwing over other Americans while getting you to blame the brown dude. Gosh, darn!

Labor is no different than goods/services. Why should the world allow coca-cola, netflix, mcdonalds and hollywood access to their markets while their local equivalents suffer? Competition? Fuck that. Nobody wants their 401k to appreciate as US companies grow their customer base in overseas markets. Stupid, silly capitalism. FUck that, lets go all in, super mega great depression style.

I want to run a modern OS with modern features and still run any software that I already paid for 5, 10, 20 years ago.

Out of curiosity, have you asked customers to run your software in a VM? How did that conversation go?

>And rely on the things the things they have built upon to not be rugpulled from under them at random.

So 10 years from now, all popular distros should support versions of Facade 1.0, 1.2, 1.42 through Facade 10.2?

Now do you see the problem?

>The problem pointed out is a distro, library compatiblity, packaging, or sand-boxing problem, not a Linux problem.

Are you suggesting Windows users switch to Linux and not use a popular distro that can provide software they need? Otherwise, its simply a pedantic argument.

>Nothing should prevent your favourite packaging/sandbox tool to present a facade that the file system has some specific files (your specific version of libraries) over some more generic files (say, Flatpak: freedesktop SDK, Steam Pressure Vessel: Steam Runtime) over some even more generic files (your actual distro libraries).

If you introduce a new library in facade 2.0, its not going to work in facade 1.0. You can backport, but how many versions are you realistically going to support indefinitely? Its a good idea, but it doesn't solve the full problem.

If my employer would still pay me the same salary, I couldn't care less about the license. I'm all for outsourcing this problem to the package managers.
