Most of Gnome is built using that too.

This seems totally doable. I'm not a sportsball fan, but I have played a few games like NBA Jam (1993), NBA Showtime on NBC (1999), NBA 2K, etc. and the announcers always seem relatively the same as when they are on TV. Obviously it's only a matter of time until you begin to remember all of their samples, but I guess this solves that problem.

To be honest who cares about Google search anymore it's pretty useless these days.

The small non-profit I volunteer with finds Google ads to be surprisingly effective, and much more cost-effective than FB for what they do, so there's at least some Google search usage in the demographic that they serve.

I think you should make proper counter arguments instead of dismissing something because they used a specific tool.

Ad-HomineLLM is a logical fallacy IMO and adds little value. I would hope eventually HN and other sites add this to the guidelines similar to other claims like vote manipulation etc.

Sorry, making up a word to try and frame distrust of LLM-generated content as a “logical fallacy” is a bad take.

HN doesn’t have guidelines against anti-LLM rhetoric, but it does for LLM-generated comments.

GP was arguing against the OP, not a comment, and AI written posts are fair game.

Also, the comment you responded to was criticizing the attack to the substance of the post based on who/what wrote is. The comment neologism actually fits, IMO.

Hopefully other vendors will adopt GrapheneOS like Motorola is prepared to.

Yeah, but then banks need to be pushed to support it. And while we're at it it would be good if people responsible for European eID also stopped recommending Google device attestation.

Graphene's policy is to work on one phone at a time. If other vendors want to support it they'll have to pay for the work to be done to Graphene standards, themselves.

Motorola with GrapheneOS is an interesting prospect. The space is ready for disruption and the tools to do it are more available than ever. Maybe it will come from the EU. Who knows, but Google overplayed their hand, IMO.

Also, let's be clear about the mobile landscape right now. Many apps aren't written in Java or Swift, but instead are being transpiled from other languages like TypeScript and using UI libraries that aren't locked to the mobile platform itself.

When a new mobile platform enters the space it will require some react-native and capacitor glue code and we are in business.

Which failings in particular?

I have never been happier to be a long time Linux user. Our systems are working significantly better than ever before and I have personally converted more people to Linux in the last year than the 15 years before that.

Particularly KDE. They have had some ups and downs but finally they have built a great foundation with Plasma and Plasma dark mode with Breeze is such a great balance of flexibility and fairly consistent look and feel. I stuck around with Gnome for too long in the name of simplicity but once you appreciate that Plasma gets out of your way once things are exactly how you want it, I have come to appreciate not having to install extensions for everyday "normal" things a lot more.

Plasma has been a bit buggy since v6 :(

they tried to do something with remembering "how you left things" between sessions, and even when disabled things are still weird...

Also some power management related hooks are not working as well as before. Like if you put the computer to sleep at night, and wake it up in the morning, the automatic dark-to-light theme switch doesn't trigger. at least not always.

Still the best system to work with though!

Readers don't care. Customers don't care about the internal details of the company.

The government does most things poorly and with little regard to budget or quality. They can't solve problems that are much simpler than cloud computing, so why should I expect them to perform better at a more complex problem?

Sure. Your average private corporation would do much better at sanely evaluating Microsoft's cloud, and sanely acting on that evaluation.

Right.

You bet.

Absolutely.

Nope neither the public entity nor the private corporation... it should be the market. WE decide with our business who is worthy, or not. Nice try, comrade!

Fascinating.

Enlighten me further. How exactly will "the market" decide where the government, or a corporation, or even an individual, chooses to buy computing services? I'm very stupid, so you're going to have to explain step by step exactly how "the market" will do this. I mean, here I thought that choices like that were the inputs to the market.

Let's do it for the corporations first. I'm Microsoft. I need the market to decide for me where I should buy motherboards for my cloud data centers. Where do I apply to get "the market" to tell me that?

You're right that corporations and individuals make those choices... that's exactly my point. Microsoft's procurement team evaluating motherboard vendors is the market working. What I'm saying is that process produces better outcomes than a government agency mandating which cloud provider everyone uses. The problem isn't who makes the choice, it's when the choice gets made for you.

Gee, that's nice, but in this case they were deciding which cloud provider the government itself was going to use, not what provider you could use.

I think this perspective has resolutely been debunked at this point.

The government has historically, routinely, consistently, solved problems more complex than cloud computing.

The only way you'd think otherwise is if you had some other motivation to pretend otherwise... some sort of ideology.

> The government does most things poorly and with little regard to budget or quality.

That's a common line by conservatives who are actively sabotaging government with policies and laws which they then point to as evidence of such inefficiencies.

Theres no need to be THIS cynical.
