They don't even allow me to download my data.

How is it better?

If network egress fails and logs are pushed in real time over a connection with no local backing, you face an ugly tradeoff: either drop log data silently (loss of visibility during the very network partition you need to debug) or apply backpressure to services (potentially hanging applications when logging buffers saturate).

We're reaching out to let you know that as announced last year, we will officially ([begin][1]) requiring two-factor authentication (2FA) for certain contributors on GitHub.com. You are receiving this notification because your account meets the criteria for the current enrollment group, and you have 2FA enabled already.

You don't need to do anything in response to this email. After September 2nd, 2026 at 00:00 (UTC), you will no longer be able to disable 2FA. If you disable 2FA before then, your access to GitHub.com will be restricted on this date until you re-enable 2FA. This email, and a dismissible banner on GitHub.com, will be the only notifications about this change.

For more information about this program, please take a look at ([our documentation][2]).

Making the software supply chain more secure is a team effort, and we couldn't do it without you. Your enrollment in 2FA is an impactful step in keeping the world's software secure.

To see this and other security events for your account, visit your account ([security audit log][3]).

If you run into problems, please contact support by visiting the GitHub ([support page][4]).

Thanks, The GitHub Team

ChatGPT 6 must be deep in the pipeline and will be released within the next few months. Maybe that's why this release is versioned 5.6, not 6.0.

The article is not about "control" but usability and applicability to the average Joe.

> You will never get that with Microsoft and Apple.

And 99.99% people don't need that. What they need is being able to run their favorite applications - the reason why Linux sucks.

> The fact that everything I want works well and the UI/UX is decades ahead is just a bonus.

Anecdotal evidence and IMO. Nothing new.

The article has been maintained since 2009 actually.

What AI could write it 17 years ago? Please enlighten me.

What's "bad takes"?

This article is well researched and I can vouch for every sentence in there.

Been running Linux exclusively for close to three decades now.

> I have plenty of 3rd party applications that weren't provided as part of my distro, didn't require recompiling, and have worked fine over generations of Linux.

Ah, exceptions once again. So dear to the heart of a Linux fan.

> I've also had Android games purchased as part of a Humble Bundle that now don't run on modern Android, so the logic is completely backwards.

How is this relevant at all?

> I didn't get much further than the second paragraph before I just walked away. It was painful reading.

I thought so. "Didn't read but object"

Sorry, Anthropic, but AGI must belong to all of humanity, not just to you.
