Thanks for the correction, I was indeed wrong about that. I updated my comment accordingly.

Thanks for the correction! I updated my comment to mention it.

I mean, the poll was like as not a publicity stunt, to draw attention to the fact DDG is not doing AI. All the same, the fact they are making "no AI" a selling point is noteworthy.

EDIT: I stand corrected -- apparently DDG does do AI presently. Hopefully they're serious about reconsidering that, then.

The GPLv4 idea is interesting and I would like to see it happen. However, I'm not sure how it would apply in practice. What's to keep that kind of company from rejecting the license and still train proprietary models on your code under fair use claims like they're already doing?

I know. Mine is the hardcover with the two ink colors, bound in leather with two snakes biting each other's tails embossed on the cover.

But that is another story, and shall be told another time.

Oh, I see someone knows their classics.

Sorry, no, hard disagree.

It does blatantly show that a large chunk of their stated reasons for opposing HRT ("there are no studies, we don't know if it's safe", etc) are -- generously -- bad-faith, indefensible trash.

There's no finding common ground with bad-faith arguments because there's definitionally no debate there, just bigotry that you can cave to, or not. Let's not.

Sandy is cool though. We stan Sandy.

From a quick bit of research (https://news.opensuse.org/2024/10/08/grub2-bls/), it seems like Grub BLS (Boot Loader Specification) is a revision of Grub EFI that supports automatically creating boot menu entries for kernels that have such a BLS entry in the EFI partition. Those BLS entries are neat because they should work independently from your bootloader -- you could switch to systemd-boot and not have to reconfigure anything. I don't know about Tumbleweed, but in other distros, those entries are created automatically when you install or update a kernel.

I see no reason not to use it.

Fair point. XD

There are a fair few countries with amazing food, yeah. Italy, to start with, without even leaving Europe, and yeah, I'm a huge fan of India and much of China in that respect too, particularly Sichuan cuisine.

This thread was however about France specifically, and your comment reads like a fairly gauche non-sequitur.

Sorry to disappoint. :) France really has had fashy inclinations for a long time, if we're being honest. A lot more people were plenty happy to have the Germans over in the 40s than pop media created afterward tended to willingly show. For some reason.

The food genuinely is great though.

There's no such thing as a utopia but there are definitely some countries that have their shit more closely together than others. So don't lose hope!
