China is making rapid improvements in high speed rail. It would be nice if we could get that kind of motivation in other countries.

I liked Sublime enough to pay for it. It has become my primary text editor at home.
I also like Atom/Pulsar, but it takes a but too long to open for my use case.
Obsidian isn’t exactly a text editor, but it fits many of the use cases. It may be closed source, but all the files are accessible and usable if the app ever disappears.
I want to use vim more, but I’m lazy, and the learning curve keeps putting me off. I might get there eventually.
Nano is ol’ reliable. When everything else failed, Nano was still there for me and worked perfectly.
Excuse me, but real programmers use butterflies.
4·1 month agoAI is absolutely not needed for this, and is only a liability.
They could say “press 1 if you are calling about X” or even “if you are calling about X, we are already aware of it. If not, you will be transferred to an operator in a moment”.
An automated system like this is easy to implement, easy to audit, and will fail in expected and managable ways.
AI is nondeterministic, and will fail randomly in very unexpected ways.
I use Mint, and my
brothersister uses Arch. Seems accurate enough to me.

4·2 months agoI’ve heard of Australian bushfires traveling close to 100km/h (60mph) with a strong wind.
What’s even worse is if the flame front is diagonal to your path of travel. The flames might be going 50km/h, but if they’re coming at you at 60%, then you have to be going at least 100km/h to outrun them.
Fires don’t need to follow roads. If a fire is traveling perpendicular to the only road you have, you can’t drive away from it.
It’s not easier than Windows, it’s the devil you know.
Sure it’s slow, but you know how slow. It does updates at the wrong time, but you know it will turn on again eventually. It sends all your data to Microsoft, but no-one has come to your door to harass you because what’s in your data.
Linux is some obscure thing that would take time and effort to learn, and you’re tired from work and just want to use a computer without thinking about it.
Things might be different if Windows wasn’t the default/only option when buying a new laptop.

It might help.
At least Windows appears user friendly. Arch otoh is quite hard to set up the first time.
I have 2. One has broken twice from over use, so I reprinted the broken piece and swapped it.
Are you suggesting that all countries on earth will adopt this law, or that all developers in all countries will comply with the law of one country?
Will all previous versions of all OSs be deleted? Will all OSs become closed source so you can’t just remove the age verification part?
Will you be the only person on earth who is willing to break an unethical law to have basic privacy?
If yes to all the above, then you may need to start learning how to program.
Take back control of your OS. Use a different OS if you need to.
“The revolution will not be televised.” The people responsible for putting the cameras in will do everything they can to make you feel powerless and isolated, especially suppressing information about rebellions.
Rupet Murdock controls most TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, news websites, and “news” YouTube channels.
You will not see anything on the news about people organising or fighting back against the system he’s worked so hard to create.
