fwiw, I haven't had this issue on Fedora on GNOME. Ubuntu/Debian have always been a pain for me, but Fedora has been great.

I see this as IBM/RedHat is a better steward/maintainer than other projects.

Yeah, the install was originally a GNOME one, but I added KDE after because it handles some things better. For example, GNOME tray item extensions will crash some tray-item-spawning programs running under WINE/Proton, which isn’t a problem under KDE.

I think GNOME gets some things more correct (it has a much better grip on design for instance), but I don’t agree with its strictly-minimalist philosophy that makes the macOS desktop look full-featured in comparison.

XFCE and Cinnamon are probably the closest to striking the right balance as far as I’m concerned (and are boring in a good way) but sadly they don’t get a fraction of the development resources that the big guys get.

One could call it the largest distillation attack in history

We really need to pace the frontier on operating systems and browsers, we can't let it fall into the wrong hands.

Yeah it looks like someone thinks they're "hacking" Tesla when really it's hitting volunteer IPs.

Asked people what during install? From my perspective this should have never been designed this way. I understand if you're a PM, but those engineers should've known better, Chinese or not.

As for the ion cannon (signed and notarized apps) people do talk about this and question it. Apple's infamous walled garden. Europe is trying to fix this with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the USA is trying to fix this with the right to repair.

But you have to admit, in this instance with Zoom, it was used for a just purpose. Apple protected end-users against bad code from Zoom, which from your post, seemed complacent.

Why? They’re the only ones giving out their models for free at the frontier?

I don’t understand the “need” when you’re benefiting the public good?

They use a lot of compute providers now, but they use Cloudflare for their networking

Kinda like code reviews these days

I’m assuming the same way Mozilla was bought by the industry. Indirectly through a network of interests.

At least I'd be in control of model quality vs. when Anthropic decides to randomly drop the quality of their offering
