I mean there are different definitions on what to call an AGI. Most of the time people don't specify which one they use.

For me an AGI would mean truly at least human level as in "this clearly has a consciousness paired with knowledge", a.k.a. a person. In that case, what do the investors expect? Some sort of slave market of virtual people to exploit?

I was using different file watching methods for personal projects over the years and they all suffered in some way. So I built a really simplistic one for my use cases.

Of course I won't, but then again I would send you pictures of any other body parts the same.

If someone gets a hand on anything you touched, they have your fingerprint. Last time you traveled to another country - did you have to give them fingerprints? Is the software running your phone closed source? Could you ambush me at night near my house and forcefully take them?

All I am saying is they are so weak as a secret that rhey should not be regarded as one.

I don't think fingerprints should be regarded as a secret.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. Looking at the "CE" logo issue, we know chinese companies try to cheat their products around regulations.

BSD & Co are open source for developers

GPL & Co are open source for users

That sounds like a good way to essentially poison our oceans - maybe we should try leaving some part of the planet somewhat intact?

How do you plan to do the syncing without some sort of cloud infrastructure?

WRT Nvidia+Sway this was certainly true not so long ago. But since the latest Ubuntu release and with a recent driver I am running this combo and it works flawlessly.

Funny coincidence - I just finished the Project Hail Mary audiobook this morning and loved it.

Any recommendations for the next audiobook?

Really interested in why you would say that. I always think of the AGPL as the strictest/strongest possible license...

There is no "away from population centres" in central europe

I prefer config files a lot to settings GUIs. Two most important points that come to mind:

1. I can manage them in Git 2. GUIs change all the time. With configs you have a much higher probability that some solution you googled will still work even when it is a couple of years old.

In the tabs world this is just a style set by whatever displays the code, eg. the user's editor setting.

In the spaces world, you have the battle over how large indentation should be and everyone has to live with what someone else chose.

Source?

I guess most Iphones are sold in a bundle with a carrier contract. Those bundles would become impossible. Without this scheme, most Iphone users would notice how overpriced their shiny status symbol actually is.

IIRC Android uses a regular Linux Bluetooth stack.

Also WRT your problems: In case you did not yet, switch to Pipewire. When I did that a couple of years ago, my BT Audio experience went from bad to really good.

And AFAIK the only part of Xorg where development happens in the recent years.

1. It is GPL, so you can't change the license without permission from all contributors 2. It has lots of contributors. And now that I think about it I guess some of those are not even alive anymore to grant any sort of permission

You make it sound as if the Apple App Store did not track you.

Getting into orbit is more about horizontal speed than altitude.

For me Pipewire changed that equation.

I am now convinced it is the best audio stack on desktop.

AFAIK Apple does not support Vulkan

It is french, but it does not seem to be EU.

> Even Apple can’t access the data.

They own your device 100%. Of course they can access your data...

One of the points of Nix it to _not_ adhere to FHS

Static site generators like Hugo should also work for you.

AppCompat/JetPack don't do anything magical - they are just regular open source libraries.

If your app wants to use features which behave differently depending on the OS version, you have to if/else over the OS version. Also, note that the platform's Fragment implementation is deprecated and you might miss ViewModel.

Twitter was like that once. Just people flocking into the next walled garden...

Just curious - what device and OS version are you on?
