The fact that this os might teach Americans how to spell Aluminum correctly is kind of hilarious to me. Or are they going to mispronounce the OS too?

I was confused by the name. For a second I got excited that OS/2 Warp was being open sourced. That os was ahead of its time. And I don't just say that because my dad was called "Mr. OS/2" because he was very good at selling it to clients of IBM

True we pay for it so we don't have tu subject our own people to the horrible working culture of the US. No maternity leave is diabolical. No money when you're sick for a month? How do you accept this

physical books are a greate idea.

I do something similar but with email and more pro-active [1]. I have created my son an email address when he was born and I'm sending him things from our lives and ask family members to to the same. Just to write them about themselves and send photos of their current homes and gardens and partners.

I imagining him looking through his email when he's 18 and reading personalize messages sent by family members who might no longer be with us then.

Would that work though? Unless it checks your pulse every 30 minutes I don't see how that would make it better. Bots would use stolen IDs for that. It would only contain it at a smaller scale probably

reminds me of Bill Gates in the 90s when asked about email spam. He said it would make sense to make an email cost like 1 cent so the spammers can't spam as much but this didn't sit right with the mindset of the people at the time.

Interesting! The first use that would come to my mind is using it with a static site plugin and basically using this as a offline and damn simple static site generator or even blogging Plattform.

Looking forward to what others come up with

> the will to absorb the inevitable cost of change

it's simple economics. When US services have to increase their pricese because of trumps tarrifs and these increases are higher than the cost of change, they'll do it. we're almost there

There's an increasing number of names Open Ai will refuse to answer when asked about because of lawsuits. Sometimes because chat gpt mixed up people with similar names and hallucinated murders about them

Yes because they value the party higher than sane policies. They know if they abandon Trump now, they'll need to make a new party

There was something like that in Germany called de-mail. It was official and receiving and reading a mail was considered legally binding (invoices, etc.)

It could have been great but the implementation lacked encryption and had wild security issues. So nobody used it and it was shut down

I'm worrying that the increasing ram prices will drive more people away from local and more to cloud services because if the big companies are buying up all the resources it might not be feasible to self host in a few years

I built a compute cluster managed from a single Git repository
