If it is shown to millions, everyone who is interested in you, they are factually not fact checking and you can do nothing against it.

It can destroy you. You are analyzing this on the assumption that people are rational and have capacity to do the check. They have neither.

You forgot to mention that it is the real name and it is shown to everyone who has interest in you and they are not fact checking.

But you are not doing a 2 hour rabbit hole search when you stand in front of a T-shirt and check whether it is fair traded or all-american produced.

It is good for a professional with specialization in history.

UK tech salaries are also not high. And 64k pounds for a history and/or business major is quite right. Do not forget also: history is a overrun study with many people afterwards driving taxis

They really miss out on opportunities here.

WSL 1 was not a VM in a traditional sense. WSL 1 was a Windows subsystem which translated Linux syscalls into NT syscalls (e.g. file open). NT has capabilities there from its origins in the 90s supporting in theory user spaces for posix/os2/...

The whole forum here is bashing Windows for being thermal / performance disaster compared to apple products. I do not see how a laptop running Linux will evade the same fate (at least the bashing :).

Understandable. But would it be much easier to release it without promise to support. That everyone would just accept.

He, however, forgot to upgrade the look over time.

I blissfully ignore the cyberpunk era.

That! Okay, in 2026 this could be a LSP feature with some editor fanciness but this is a real benefit. My nitpick is that we do not have a depreciation on the non async ones

I always read this as: when something is doomed by itself, it is the normal unaltered way of things. Let it flow.

It is changing the product significantly. I wanted/consented to a browser. Nothing more. Agreeable, nothing new with the browser vendor pushing plugins down our throat which are not browser core features, nevertheless not right.

I had that conversation with our AI VP recently. At a certain cost entertaining humans will be more cost effective from a financial and energy perspective. Especially on a global scale.
