I mean I dislike the guy as much as you, but almost all of his “wealth” is paper wealth. He may very well not be able to liquidate 2% of his wealth (fine with me).

Let’s talk in 3 years - my round!

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Nor could an assembly line.

As soon as we convince the billionaires to stop hiding their wealth and pay their fair share of tax.

Ie never.

It’s really not and if you believe it is you need to use it more. The threat is real - don’t underestimate it.

Most Chinese exits through port snooping. And you really need to be on a Chinese corp network to know - if you take your western mobile there they do very little blocking.

I’ve been fairly successful with most China corp networks letting me out and in to self-hosted WG server on port 123.

That’s what they’re doing. They clearly would prefer people to move to iOS, that smells a bit like MacOS, as it’s a damn sight more profitable to both sell you hardware and software 30% cuts.

“Yes, while connected to my wireguard server through port 123 here from my Chinese office, I should probably try to upgrade the wireguard server. That’s a great idea!”

Ask me how I know.

Of course. And when I hear “vibe coded”, I hear someone starting with “make me a cool app” and going from there, with zero understanding of the technical architecture.

If you have a thorough, deeply thought through technical spec, then AI can write a great amount of tests up against that spec, say, and you’ve got a fantastic base for TDD.

I honestly feel like a lot of the downvotes are people thinking AI means “clueless programmer having an AI do its work for you”. Many highly productive, deeply technical developers use it every day.

What is your concern? If it’s a generic “AI”, then I can assure you tha pretty much every software has AI code in it already. Heck, Linus is accepting PRs where AI has been used.

AI is useful. It produces useful code.

Like creative writing, it won’t produce something novel. But man, 75% of code is just boiler plate. AI can do a lot for boilerplate.

That does not absolve anyone of committing crap code. Put your name to it. Own it. Take the consequence of delivering shit code or great code, no matter how it was written. Don’t let AI be a crutch. But you’d be god damn fool not to use it, where it’s right (boilerplate, test writing, tedious changes etc.)

This is what I’ve done. Crash rate is high. Performance is degraded. Windows still involved, just hiding.

Affinity.

I just need Affinity.

And then I can dump Windows.

Ultimately someone has to vouch for “yes, this person is 18+”. People can’t self-attest, except through crappy biometric, so at some point a government ID has to be involved.

I’d trust my government over a credit reference agency that literally makes revenue from selling access to your private data.

What if I told you that by regulation, the EU age verification system has to be anonymous and that it’s only the AUKUS countries that are moving forward in a way where anonymity is “a nice to have”.

Denmark’s system, which is a front-runner implementation in the EU, is going to be fully ZKP.

And yes it’s basically built with tokens.

You identify with a government system in an app. The services issues you signed tokens that are anonymous. You hand these anonymous tokens over to the sites that demand proof of age.

I’m not sure what we’re arguing about now, but I’m convinced it’s not the original point I was trying to make. I think both of our lives are too short to carry this one. Have a good evening.

Volunteer adoption of a system found to be better by distro maintainers is not the same as forced adoption of a system distro maintainers don’t find to be better.

But this proposal for a full auth-chain isn’t a proposal by Linus and many thousands contributors. It’s the proposal of a commercial entity that doesn’t control Linux in any way.
