This is absolutely, completely pants-on-head idiotic.

So, par for the course for Congress.

The polling questions have been revised as follows:

Nah, the Russian population is very experienced with ignoring things. Right up there with Unitedstatesians, if we’re being honest.

You swapped your latins

Edit: if this was mastermind, you went from yellow yellow to green gray

It is… distressing to align and agree with such a darkly bleak take on where the tech industry and software engineering in general has gone. But everything in there resonates with a truly honest and depressing accuracy.

10/10 no notes.

Why are you still on Reddit

lol, also my immediate reaction

It really is fantastic, isn’t it?

It’s to boil water again, isn’t it

The profusion of drone systems on the Ukrainian side, combined with the fact that they are absolutely on the bleeding edge of doctrinal development for drone warfare, also combined with the fact that Ukraine has orders of magnitude more esprit de corps than the vatniks definitely seems to be yielding some serious dividends.

сла́ва Украї́ні!

Yes; also yes

National Lab of the Rockets…? An acronym that sounds like it was made by a grade schooler. Which checks out, if we’re being honest.

Edit: lol I misread it, but the actual name is still very dumb

CVE aside, that headline is phonetically amusing

Any money says the orange regime is gonna pick this up and run with it, despite the fact that it’s very obviously bullshit

• On the idea of a kill switch: while I said that we won’t add a “global kill switch”, all of these capabilities will be delivered as Snaps to the OS, layered on top of the existing Ubuntu stack. That means there will always be the option of removing those Snaps - which I suppose acts as a sort of kill switch for the features we’re planning on shipping.
• Opt-in vs Opt-out: my plan is to introduce AI-backed features as a “preview” on a strictly opt-in basis in 26.10. In subsequent releases, my plan is to have a step in the initial setup wizard that allows the user to choose whether or not they’d like the AI-native features enabled. Because of the size of most LLMs, we simply couldn’t ship them in the installer anyway, so opting out at first run is simple: they just won’t be there.

Point of order: “you can easily remove the Snaps from your install” is an opt-out mechanism. Calling these features “opt-in” is gaslighting.
