“Free software” doesn’t mean you don’t pay for it, but that it respects and preserves the user’s freedom. The opposite is not “cost software” but unfree software.
Most of the other points in this list are also questionable or inaccurate. In fact, I think the only true one is the first one: open source vs closed source.
It’s the best of the Chromium-based browsers, but closed-source is a shame. I wish Firefox would copy some of Vivaldi’s UI ideas.
I don’t recommend PopOS! because I think the Gnome UI is confusing to people who have only used Windows before.
Used Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 7 and 7 Pro can be found for reasonable prices these days. One of those in good condition would be a better buy because you’ll still get security patches for a while. Last time I looked, the third party OSs for Pixel phones only supported them for as long as Google did.
I’m going to use this for my next order of crystalware and explosives.
KDE Plasma is so much more snappy and functional than Windows. Linux has lots of good options.
I wouldn’t expect it to benchmark well, but it’s good that they’re making this available so developers can explore RISC-V on a good quality platform.
The last Windows that had any MS-DOS in it was Windows ME, a quarter of a century ago. Everything since then has run on the NT kernel.
I guess they say it each time they’re caught not prioritizing security. Then back to management as usual, prioritizing bullshit new features and marketing over security and bug fixes.
In some cases, this will mean prioritizing security
Sounds like the old Microsoft attitudes are alive and well.
Why does it have a picture of Google’s CEO?
The fans will lap it up and all those Apple YouTubers will gush about how Apple’s new invention is the best invention ever. Apple has the advantage of owning a cult.
1991 to 2024, I think the only other OS that has managed that is Windows.
Also the various BSD-based OSs. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD etc. are still around, and MacOS is based on BSD too. And since BSD (1978) is a Unix, you can trace these all the way back to 1969.
Because they’ll add it to the list of coercively and deceptively worded questions they force you to answer before you can use a WIndows account, phrase it so as to sound useful and harmless, and have a big friendly “Sounds great!” button and a tiny “No thanks, I prefer my life to be shit” link.
Yeah, the AUR seems pretty dodgy.
I hear Pluto’s nice at this time of year.
Neuronal firing is often understood as a fundamentally binary process, because a neuron either fires an action potential or it does not. This is often referred to as the “all-or-none” principle.
Isn’t this true of standard multi-bit neural networks too? This seems to be what a nonlinear activation function achieves: translating the input values into an all-or-nothing activation.
The characteristic of a 1-bit model is not that its activations are recorded in a single but but that its weights are. There are no gradations of connection weights: they are just on or off. As far as I know, that’s different from both standard neural nets and from how the brain works.
Stupid overweight body of Christ.
Libre Office is also available on Windows.
